‘Couldn’t Show Jayalalithaa in Nightie’: Dhinakaran Claims Video Proof Agency | Chennai
For months till her death in December, the only source of information on the state of J Jayalalithaa in hospital was a handful of her closest aides, including VK Sasikala, top AIADMK leaders and ministers. A minister’s confession that he was “forced to lie” about the for-
mer chief minister’s health has raised the question - did ministers, the ruling AIADMK and bureaucrats all lie? Retired judge A Arumughaswamy has been asked by the Tamil Nadu government to investigate. This was one of the demands that Jayalalithaa loyalist turned rebel O Panneerselvam or OPS
had raised to return to the party. But many believe the investigation should be handled by at least a judge, if not the CBI. “It is lie upon more lies, only an investigation can nail the lies,” actor Kamal Haasan said.

The disciplinary committee of Trinamool Congress has recommended punishment against Mukul Roy to party chairperson Mamata Banerjee and Roy has been suspended from the party for six years,” Trinamool Congress Secretary General Partha Chatterjee announced in a news conference. Today, former Trinamool Congress number two and Rajya Sabha MP, Mukul Roy, announced his separation from Trinamool Congress. Roy, one of the founding
members of the party, has resigned from the working committee and announced that he will quit Rajya Sabha and primary membership after the Durga Pujas. “I was the one who was the first to sign, when Trinamool Congress was formed in December 17 1997. With a heavy heart today, I have decid-
ed to separate myself from the party. I will reveal the reasons after the Durga Pujas,” Mukul Roy said at a press conference on Monday in Kolkata. Reacting to the development, Chatterjee said that Roy should immediately resign from the Trinamool Congress following his suspension from the party.

Challenging the special CBI court’s verdict that convicted him in a rape case, Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has moved to Punjab and Haryana High Court, said his counsel on Monday. “We have filed an appeal today in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Through this, we have challenged the order of the CBI court,” defence counsel Vishal Garg Narwana said. He said the CBI verdict has been challenged on several grounds.
“One of the grounds was that there was a delay of more than six years in recording the statements of the women (victims) by the CBI after the incident,” the defence counsel said. The CBI had claimed that the two women followers were sexually exploited in 1999 and the agency recorded their statement in 2005, Garg said. He alleged that the CBI had also concealed some portion of the
victims’ statement. Earlier, the CBI court held Gurmeet Ram Rahim guilty of rape and criminal intimidation and sentenced him to 20 years, 10 years each separately in two rape cases. The judge ruled that the Dera chief did not deserve “sympathy of the court” since his victims had placed him “on the pedestal of ‘god’ and revered him” but “he did not even spare his own pious disciples and had acted like wild beast”. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s actions, he said.

BHU crackdown: Police hooliganism on campuses must stop
The last few years have brought into the open, the kind of landscape universities spaces are; full of contradictions and contestations with many sides trying to establish their hold. Women’s groups have been one of the most important voices to have come out of the protests that universities have witnessed in the recent times, with organisations like ‘Pinjra Tod’ fighting against the discriminatory rules in colleges and university hostels against women students. One of the most remarkable things this has lead to are discussions around women’s mobility and removing morality from this what our Constitution guarantees to all citizens as a fundamental right. Another is the treatment of sexual assault in public places, including in our universities. While we demand changes in regulations that prohibit us from stepping out of our hostels after certain deadlines, we also must fight against the Administration which is waiting to shrug off responsibility of women’s safety when the clock strikes 7. The current protest in Banaras Hindu Uuniversity (BHU) marks an unavoidable intersection between these struggles. A female student was allegedly sexually assaulted in BHU campus during the evening as she was returning to her hostel. Students say that the guards present there did not help her, and as she complained to the administration, the response she received was shaming and humiliation, and a refusal to act upon her complaint. The next step, to no one’s surprise was a discussion about changing the deadline to enter the girls’ hostel at 6pm. This chain of events is not unfamiliar. Coming from Patna, Bihar and studying in a college in Delhi was a dream come true for me. That this college was Lady Shri Ram College for Women, a space considered safe by my parents and family only added to the security I felt. But it was only after I entered LSR that I realized how limited this security was. Right outside the back gate of this college were men sitting, staring, and passing crude comments. Hundreds of know this scene. Men passing by or just standing and staring, perhaps masturbating, making sure that we knew what they were doing. Was this our fault? Or theirs ? Should we have been ashamed by this public display of rank vulgarity? Or was it the men who should have been disciplined? We thoughts about these issues often, the girls inside the hostel, but we had few answers.

Jhanvi and Khushi are now the other fashionista Kapoor sisters to reckon with Sridevi’s daughtes Khushi and Jhanvi Kapoor attended the Ambani bash in Mumbai recently
Agency | New Delhi
Sridevi’s daughters Khushi and Jhanvi Kapoor may not have any movies to their name yet, but since last year they’ve firmly established themselves as young style icons to watch out for. The youngest Kapoor sisters have been slaying it in style, be it in elaborate traditional
outfits or in cool chic casuals. Recently, the sibling duo attended the star-studded dinner hosted by the Ambanis at their residence and amid all glitz and glam not only managed to make their presence felt but also stole the limelight with their top-notch sartorial choices. While mostly it’s Sara Ali
and Jhanvi decided to flaunt their individual style, and how. Attending the event Khushi Kapoor looked chic and trendy wearing a vibrant outfit by Moschino. The young diva managed to stand out among the rest in a quirky handprinted cerulean blue crop-top and skirt. The gorgeous beauty opted for trendy earrings and sparkly Louboutin pumps. Rounding off her look with pink blush and brown lips, her tresses were left open.

Sara Ali Khan throwing tantrums on sets? Here’s what the makers have to say
Padmavati: Shahid Kapoor’s bloodied Maharawal Ratan Singh is perfect foil to Deepika’s queen
Agency | New Delhi
Abhishek Kapoor’s ‘Kedarnath’ has been the talk of the town lately. Not just because it is the launch pad for Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan but also because it stars the super-talented Sushant Singh Rajput alongside Sara. While the shooting of the film began about a week ago in Kedarnath it-
self, rumours of Sara throwing tantrums on the sets went viral almost instantly. Reports about Sara being too finicky about her look and make-up in the film have been doing the rounds on social media. But producer Arjun N Kapoor, who spoke to DNA from Kedarnath itself, has another story to tell. He says, “Sara is a director’s actor. She complete-
ly follows the vision that Abhishek Kapoor has for her and her character in the film. I guess, that’s the reason why she chose the best from the many offers that we know were coming her way.” He also added, “These reports are not just incorrect, but also malicious towards our young actress who is extremely professional. Sara is giving her 100 per cent to the film.”

A week after Deepika Padukone stunned one and all with her royal look from Padmavati, the makers of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film have released the first look of Shahid Kapoor. Shahid plays Deepika’s onscreen husband, MahaRawal Ratan Singh in Padmavati and the king of Chittor. Shahid flaunts a heavily bearded look in the poster with jewellery adding to his royal and intense look.
What one can’t miss is the prominent battle scar and the look which says this king is in the midst of a battle. He may look bloodied but he is definitely unbowed. Sharing the posters, Deepika, Ranveer and Shahid wrote, “saahas, samarthya aur samman ka pratrek”. Earlier, Shahid had revealed what went into making his character of the ‘Maharawal’ a reality, “When you are playing a king, you need to have a certain
personality. At that time, the people used to not be very skinny and lean, so you need to have a manly personality. Basically for that, and to carry those outfits also, Sanjay sir (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) wanted me to be a little muscular and a little full. But I will be gaining weight in terms of muscle and not in terms of fat. This is because I am playing the character of a warrior. The Rajput kings had very strong personalities.”

The Kerala High Court on Monday rejected popular Malayalam actor Kavya Madhavan’s bail plea as the police have guaranteed that she would not be arrested. Her husband actor Dileep is in remand in connection with the abduction and assault of a Malayalam actress. According to media reports, Kavya’s bail plea stated that police officers and some sections of the media were intent on damaging the reputation of Dileep’s
entire family by dragging Kavya’s name in the case. “Despite completely destroying the life and promising career of Dileep and that of his teenage daughter in the process, a group of unscrupulous senior police officers, a small-but-powerful section of the film industry and scores of obliging media personnel are trying to destroy Dileep’s entire family by implicating Kavya in the case and arresting her,” said the statement.

SS Rajamouli is not disappointed that his magnum opus ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ was not chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars for the foreign language film category this year. The filmmaker says his aim is to take stories to a wider audience, and making money for the team, instead of winning awards. “(I am) Not at all (disappointed at losing out the race to Oscars this year). When I make a film, I never
think about awards. It is not my aim. The aim is to first satisfy myself with the story and then next is to see that it reaches the maximum number of audience and makes money for everyone who has put their life in it,” Rajamouli said. “That is my most important thing. If awards come, then I am happy. If they don’t, I don’t mind that because they are not at all my criteria,” he added. ‘Newton’, a Hindi film set against the backdrop of elections
in the world’s largest democracy, has been announced as India’s official entry for the the foreign language film category at the Oscars. ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’, which will have its TV premiere on Sony MAX on October 8, was also reportedly in contention. Rajamouli attained global fame as the creator of the ‘Baahubali’ universe — which went on to become India’s biggest blockbuster with worldwide earnings of over Rs 900 crore.
