Jun 25: He won the National Award for his film Jolly LLB, but then has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Well, we are talking about the director Subhash Kapoor who was arrested on Monday (June 23, 2014) on charges of molestation by actor Geetika Tyagi.

Geetika Tyagi says that she feels empowered and now would go all the way to fight her way to get justice.

“I had approached the cops way back in February 2014, then filed the complaint in April and finally Subhash Kapoor gets arrested in June 2014. This clearly shows that a lot of powerful forces have been protecting him but no one gets arrested without ¬reason. It’s the first step to my win and I am looking ahead now,” says Geetika Tyagi, who was seen in films such as Aatma, What The Fish and One by Two.

Geetika Tyagi had filed a complaint against Subhash Kapoor at Mumbai’s Versova Police Station in April, ¬alleging that he came to her house in May 2012 and touched her inappropriately under the influence of alcohol.

Earlier in February this year, Geetika Tyagi tweeted a link to a video, in which she was seen accusing Subhash Kapoor of forcing himself on her, while Subhash Kapoor’s wife, Dimple Kharbanda, was seen ¬pleading with Geetika Tyagi and her boyfriend, director Atul Sabharwal, to keep the ¬matter private. Atul Sabarwal, Geetika Tyagi‘s boyfriend has directed the film Aurangzeb.

“Subhash was like an elder brother. I knew him and his family for nine years. I’ve seen his son grow up, and we’ve organised his birthday parties together. I was so shocked after that night that I didn’t know what to do. His wife would request me to keep the matter a secret for the future of their son, saying how he ill-treats her, too, but she has to put up with him because of her ailing mother. I am not one to put up with such abuse,”clarified Geetika.

Well, if all this was not enough drama director Tigmanshu Dhulia has tweeted in support of Subhash Kapoor and wrote, “If the film industry has any heart, they should boycott Atul Sabarwal as he was part of this vicious scheme to demean Subhash Kapoor.”

Now, who is right and who is wrong we shall get to know as the case unfolds.

Mumbai, May 10: Nearly a month after recovering from the coronavirus, actor Zoa Morani says she has donated her blood plasma to do her bit in helping the patients currently suffering from the novel virus. The actor, who was quarantined and kept under medication in April, also urged those who have recovered from COVID-19 to donate their plasma.

"Donated my blood today for the Plasma therapy trials at Nair hospital. It was fascinating! Always a silver lining I suppose. The team there was so enthusiastic and careful. There was a general physician on standby just incase of emergency and the equipment brand new and safe (sic)," Zoa wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

She thanked the doctors for taking care of her and hoped patients benefit from the donation.

"All #Covid19 recovered people can be a part of this trial, to help others covid patients recover! I hope this works #IndiaFightsCorona. They even gave me a certificate and Rs 500. Wont lie, I felt super cool today (sic)," she added.

Zoa, along with her sister Shaza and father, producer Karim Morani had tested positive for coronavirus in April. All three were discharged from the hospital after testing negative last month.

New Delhi, Jan 11: The Delhi High Court on Saturday restrained from releasing Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Chhapaak' movie without due credits to the lawyer who represented the acid attack survivor, Lakshmi Agarwal, in her legal battle.

The restraint will be effective from January 15 in multiplexes and live streaming and for others from January 17.

The court directed filmmaker Meghna Gulzar to give due credit to lawyer Aparna Bhat who fought the criminal case for the acid survivor on whose life the movie is based.

It passed the order on a petition filed by Fox Studio challenging a trial court order which had directed the filmmakers to give credit to Bhat.

Delhi's Patiala House Court had earlier this week passed an order granting an ex-parte interim mandatory injunction directed that the filmmaker has to carry a line "Aparna Bhat continues to fight cases of sexual and physical violence against women" during the screening of the film.

Fox Studios then requested the Delhi High Court to set aside the trial court order.

The petitioner submitted that if the order passed in a suit filed just one day before the release of the film, is not vacated, varied or modified, then the petitioner will suffer grave injustice and irreparable harm and injury.

The movie, which hit the cinemas yesterday, is based on Laxmi's life. In 2005, at the age of 15, she was allegedly attacked by a spurned lover.

Laxmi had to undergo several surgeries. Later, she started helping other acid attack survivors and promoted campaigns to stop such gruesome attacks.

Mumbai, Jul 21: Police have recorded statements ofthree psychiatrists and a psychotherapist as part of their probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput last month, a senior official said on Monday.

Their "statements were recorded over the last three- four days" by the Bandra police who are probing the case, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone IX) Abhishek Trimukhe.

The late actor was consulting these mental health professionals and hence their statements were recorded as part of the ongoing probe, police said.

Rajput was undergoing treatment for depression since November 2019, they said.

Rajput, 34, was found hanging in his suburban Bandra apartment on June 14 in what the police claimed was a case of suicide. In the initial investigation, the Mumbai police had found that the actor was under medication for depression.

So far, the police have recorded statements of over 36 people, including director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bollywood casting director Mukesh Chhabra, actress Sanjana Sanghi and Rajput's friend Sandip Singh, among others.

Rajput's friend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, has also given her statement to the police.

Filmmaker Aditya Chopra recorded his statement in connection with the case at the Versova Police Station on Saturday.

Rajput starred in films such as 'Shuddh Desi Romance', 'Raabta', 'Kedarnath' and 'Sonchiriya'. But his most prominent role came as cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic, 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story'.
