Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman, who has worked in several notable films in the 70s and the 80s and mesmerised movie buffs with her spectacular performances, has filed a complaint against businessman Amar Khanna.

The 66-year-old popular actress of her time, who had shot to fame with films like ‘Hare Rama, Hare Krishna’, ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’, ‘Heera Panna’, ‘Yaadon Ki Baraat’, ‘Don’, among others, has been allegedly harassed by a 38-year-old man on WhatsApp.

The complaint has been registered under Sections 304 D (stalking) and 509 (insulting modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code.

According to news agency, the actress has filed a molestation and stalking complaint against Amar Khanna at the Juhu police station. In her complaint, the actress said that Khanna molested her over the past few months and misbehaved with her.

Reports suggest that the actress and the businessman were good friends; however, the relationship had soured over a couple of fights and disagreements following which she stopped talking to Amar Khanna. Nevertheless, the businessman allegedly kept calling and following her.

According to the police, the accused would allegedly harass her by continuously sending objectionable messages and other media content on her Whatsapp mobile number and would force her to interact with him. Also, he would threaten Aman that if she refuses to speak with him then her son will face dire consequences.

Parambr Singh Dahiya, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 9, in a statement, said, “He was harassing the actress on Whatsapp since January 25 and would send her objectionable videos and photos. Even after warning him, the accused did not stop and continued the act. The actress then approached us and lodged the complaint.” “The accused had also created a ruckus outside the residence of the actress during the night,” added the cop.

Amar Khanna is said to be absconding at the moment. Parambr Singh further said, “We have registered a case under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and Information Technology act. The accused has not been arrested yet and our probe is on.” Watch this space for further updates.

Kolkata, Jun 2: Artistes of the Bengali film industry are trying to get the best out of their creative side amid the lockdown, with many of them giving shape to innovative concepts and ideas to hook the audience.

A short film 'Grub Ne Bana Di Jodi', with RJ-actor Mir Afsar Ali in the lead, transcends boundaries to bring couples from around the world together on one platform, as they engage in discussions on food and culture.

The shot-at-home film, directed by Satrajit Sen, has Ali giving couples tasks to test their culinary skills.

"This is the time to try new concepts and that, too, without the usual technical support. There is no box office pressure, and people can take their own sweet time to watch the film on YouTube," he said.

Actor Vikram Chatterjee, who recently completed the shoot of 'Pabitra Puppies', a web series about seven friends bonding over video games, said it was an "altogether different experience" with no crew to assist him at home.

"The shooting process was complicated but we had a lot of fun. I was in Mumbai when the lockdown was imposed.

Coordinating with the director and other cast members wasn't easy, but this phase has taught us how to overcome challenges," Chatterjee said.

The series, also starring Sohini Sarkar and Saayoni Ghosh, will be streaming on Hoichoi soon.

Director Shieladitya Moulik's third outing on YouTube, amid the lockdown, has garnered good reviews.

The short film 'Eye Candy' tells the story of a blind couple who had been finding ways to connect with each other.

"I wanted to talk about long-distance relationships, and the problems faced by couples in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, but not without a twist. I hope the viewers enjoy the short," Moulik said.
