A report in a prominent Mumbai tabloid on Friday morning carries the transcript of a conversation between the deceased girl and her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh which, according to the report, indicates that Rahul encouraged Pratyusha into prostitution.
Rahul however, turns the tables completely on the tabloid’s report alleging that the published conversation has been tampered to make him look guilt when in fact the girl seems to suggest that it’s her parents who are instrumental in her misery.
Agitated , yet strangely calm Rahul says, “I don’t know why the newspaper did this. According to me it is the lowest form of journalism . They’ve edited the conversation to seem as if Pratyusha was accusing me for her misery when in fact she clearly says her parents her responsible. I am sending you a copy of the conversation.In the course of the conversation she clearly says ‘Baat mere bare mein ho rehi hai…maa-baap mere ghatiyahain.’(People are talking about me.My parents are lowdown).”
Rahul Raj Says he is filing a defamation case against the tabloid which printed the story. “I am in no mood to take this lying down. This is not a serious allegation. It is a foolish allegation, belied by documented facts. In that conversation I had with Pratyusha she is clearly heard calling her father a ‘bhadwa’ and ‘bahenchod’.She’s clearly heard saying, ‘Rahul, you love me so much.That’s why you’re taking all this.’ All this has been deleted from the published transcript of our conversation to make me look guilty.’
Rahul Raj Singh says he has already asked his lawyer to take action against the paper. He has also sent off a strongly worded rejoinder to the paper on Friday,a copy of which is with me.
Says Rahul, “I rang up the editor asking what they stood to gain by portraying me so badly by tampering with the text of transcript from the chargesheet which was filed three months ago.”
Rahul also casts doubts on the role of Heer Patel alleged to be involved at some point withRahul. “Why were Pratyusha’s parents staying in Heer Patel’s home when they didn’t even know her before Pratyusha’s death?Heer Patel accuses me of cheating her .The alleged agreement with me that Heer Patel has given to the court is a xerox agreement. Where is her original document for Rs 20 lakhs that she wants from me?”
Rahul accuses Partyusha’s parents of misusing her funds and driving her to suicide. “ In her last conversation with me Pratyusha clearly accused her parents of using and spending all her money. There is a bank statement in the chargesheet where it is clearly shown how 5 and ½ lakhs of rupees from 6 lakhs that Pratyusha received as fee for a tv serial went immediately into her mother’s bank account.”
So is Rahul Raj accusing Pratyusha’s parents of forcing her into prostitution?
Replies Rahul Raj, “I am not saying it. Pratyusha is saying it in her telephonic conversation which is part of the chargesheet, So far I kept quiet on these matters . I wanted Pratyusha’s soul to rest in peace. But her parents are adamant to not let leave their daughter alone even after her death.On the basis of this conversation which is part of the chargesheet I’m confident I’ll be proven not guilty.”
Rahul Raj says he’s still living in the house where Pratyusha killed herself. “I haven’t shifted out. I’ve become a wreck waiting for her soul to visit me in our house so I can ask her why she did this to me.”
He accuses Pratyusha’s parents lawyer of ganging up with them and Pratyusha’s publicity seeking friends. “I’ve already sent defamation notices to their lawyer and to (actress)Kamya Punjabi.I’ve filed cases against them in my home-town Ranchi.These people getting together after Pratyusha’s death was no coincidence. This was pre-emptive action to save their skin. Pratyusha’s parents knew that if there would be an investigation into her death it would be very clear that it’s the parents who are to blame. Mujhe phasa diya beechmein(I was made a scapegoat).But I won’t be cowed down. Lies cannot defeat the truth.”

Why On Earth Is Sushmita Sen Smoking A Cigar In Aarya’s First Look?

Season 3 of Aarya is being shot as you read this, and naturally Sushmita Sen is super-kicked about it, so kicked that she has put out a video where she is seen in the best Lady Boss version of herself.
Alarmingly, she is seen puffing away at a cigar, to complete her Badass Lady Boss image.
There was a time when women smoking cigarettes in Hindi cinema signaled vampishness. If a female actor was shown smoking it meant she had evil designs over the hero, and life in general.
Sushmita being Sushmita, a cigarette won’t do. A cigar it is, to go with her formidable image. The last Bollywood actor I saw smoking a cigar on screen was Premnath in the 1970s. Back then so many people didn’t die of cancer by smoking.
These are different far more dangerous and deadly times.
Sushmita is an iconic actor.She needs to be more careful about the image she projects . Smoking a cigar doesn’t enhance a woman’s(or a man’s) muscle power. Nor does it make her look cool.
About shooting for the third season of Aarya Sushmita says, “Aarya is synonymous with my name. I have lived as Aarya for two whole seasons and the love received by the audiences has only encouraged me to do more. Walking on the sets of Aarya Season 3 makes me feel at home and gives me a sense of empowerment. I’m grateful to the entire team at Disney+ Hotstar, Ram Madhvani Films and Endemol Shine India for the vision of creating Aarya and taking it to newer heights with every season.”

Shah Rukh, Deepika, John Will Meet The Media On Monday At 4 pm(But There’s A Catch)

Pathaan has effectually discredited the efficacy of media interactions to promote a film. The film’s lead actors Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham did not conduct any press or portal interviews to promote the film.
And yet Pathaan is a blockbuster.
This weekend the Pathaan producer Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films took a call on behalf of the Pathaan team to do one media meet at the Taj Land’s End in Mumbai on Monday January 30 at 4 pm.
The three principal actors and director Siddharth Malhotra will address the media.
But here’s the catch: the media will not be allowed to ask any questions. There will be no Q& A s or one-on-one interactions.This basically means that the Pathaan team will have an opportunity to say what it wants to the media. But the media will have no say.
Make what you will of this one-way traffic.
A source close to Yash Raj informs me that this is the pattern regarding the media that Yash Raj will follow for future releases: no press meets no promotional engagements.

Fake Projects of Pathaan Director Being Planted In Media

Siddharth Anand Denies Considering Any Project With Deepak Mukut
A word of caution to those marketing and publicity wizkids who think it’s okay to plant fake stories on (fake) projects with the Pathaan director.
It is not.
Such baseless announcements are meant only to raise the equity of the producers with whom Siddharth Anand’s name is linked. One such producer whose name has cropped up after the spectacular success of Pathaan is Deepak Mukut.
There were reports everywhere that Siddharth Anand’s next would be with Mukut.
Turned out to be a false rumour.
A source in the know informs, “Siddharth now has to complete Fighter starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone for Yash Raj.Then he is committed to direct the sequel to War 2 for Yash Raj films. They will then start work on the next film in the Pathaan franchise. There is no scope or room for any outside projects for Siddharth Anand. So every announcement that you read of a new film to be directed by Siddharth Anand for an outside producer is likely to be a hundred percent fake.”
When I asked Siddharth Anand about the supposed project with producer Deepak Mukut he promptly replied, “NOT AT ALL.”

Pink Director’s Next Featuring Yami As A Crime Reporter To Stream From February 16

Anniruddha Roy Chowdhury whose Pink featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu was one of the most important films of 2016, is all set to release his next Hindi film.
Entitled Lost, Anniruddha’s film , based on true events, will see Yami Gautam Dhar(that’s what the actress calls herself after her marriage) as a crime journalist. LOST is an emotional social thriller that represents a higher quest, a search for lost values of empathy and integrity.
Inspired by true events, Lost is a story of a bright young woman crime reporter in her relentless search for the truth behind the sudden disappearance of a young theatre activist.

Lost
Says Aniruddha “The shoot of LOST has been an incredible journey. I have been eager for the release of our hard-worked venture. The film is a realistic highlight of media in a social context and I am sure that it will give the audience a compelling watch. I am curious about its release and see the responses it shall get. I hope they will welcome it with open hearts.”
Yami Gautam Dhar who plays the lead of the crime reporter says, “I can’t be happier and more proud of the film’s selection for the opening night at CSAFF. I feel like its one that the people will connect to and will be the one that you cannot miss, especially in the current age and time. I have loved playing this role because it was such a special experience, it allowed me to explore so many layers of emotions as an actor and the entire team has worked really hard on it. I genuinely cannot wait for the film’s release, especially to see the reactions of the audience to it.”
The crime investigation drama boasts a stellar cast. Along with Yami, the film will feature Pankaj Kapur, Rahul Khanna, and an ensemble of younger talent, including Neil Bhoopalam, Pia Bajpai, and Tushar Pandey, in pivotal roles.
