Shiney Shocks Bollywood

Actor Shiney Ahuja was produced in the court on Monday and has
confessed to have raped his domestic help and is held under the
section 376 after the preliminary test that confirmed the sexual
assault.

As an actor, Ahuja has prominent films like Hazaron Khwaishe Aisi,
Life in a Metro, Woh Lamhe and Gangster to his credit. With every
film, he has scaled new heights and carved his niche. But the news of
his arrest has shocked the industry.

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt expressed his feeling while talking to the news
channel, “I am ashamed and shocked to hear this. Shiney was activelyhelping Deepak Tijori when his daughter was victimized for rape. Shiney has been close to us. All I can say is that if he is found guilty, the court will condemn him."

Vinod Pande, the director who introduced Shiney, stated, “I have known him since long and after hearing this I am in shock and can’t comment. All I can say is that industry will incur loss as there are many movies lined up with him. I think we should wait for the final verdict to come"

Manoj Joshi, his co-actor in Bhool Bhulaiyaa comments, “I have complete faith on Indian judiciary. If any crime is committed, the accuse should be punished irrespective of his status. I do not know him personally, we have worked only in one scene of the film."

Vinay Pathak, who worked with Shiney in the film Khoya Khoya Chand, commented, "I am out of country and do not know the details. I was hinted by my friends in India. I don’t know Shiney personally and haven’t interacted with him. But I was shocked to know this and cannot comment on this."

Anurag Basu, director and friend of the actor said, "Obviously I am very shocked when I saw it in the news. I'm trying to get in touch with him or his relatives to know what exactly happened. Shiney whom I know personally is drastically different from the one in the headline. I am sure that he will get the clean chit. He is being framed. As far as I know he is not this type of person. I don’t see any reason for
him to commit this crime. Why will he do this to a maid? This is a
trap and there is something fishy. I wish what I believe is true."

He will be in the custody till 18 June.

Katrina advises Sallu's girl Claudia

Rumours know how to turn a mole hill into a mountain. They linked Salman Khan with German model Claudia Ciesla just because they were spotted together. Then the story of his breakup with Katrina Kaif started spreading like fire.

angana-Adhyayan towards Splitsville

Well, they say its an amicable and mature decision that the young and hot couple of 2009 biggest hit film, Kangana Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman have called up their relationship. This has indeed left one and all, including, Kangana spellbound.

Many Bollywood insiders are shocked including Kangana herself as the move was taken by Adhyayan himself.

Adhyayan simply suggested,”Yes, we’ve moved on from this relationship . I guess this was how long it was meant to last".

Given the most common excuse that we hear these days that he wants to concentrate on his career and professional commitments is what Adhyayan has said.. Sustaining a long-distance relationship of this intensity is a tough task.

Kangana says,”Adhyayan and I had a talk about our relationship and it was his decision to move on. It came as a shock to me. But I guess he has other priorities now, and many options in terms of people to be with. It’s an amicable break-up and I wish him the best.”

Kangna who had been shooting for a film in Hyderabad for a long spell, met Adhyayan for dinner recently wherein after a calm and mature discussion, they decided to end their relationship mutually. More than Kangna, Adhyayan was keen on a break-up.

Rumors are it that dad Shekhar Suman was dead against Kangana Ranaut!

Bollywood Men Dare Now!

Now that bollywood is coming out of age in stories and their portrayals too, how the men in bollywood would be left behind.

The latest face to join the Bollywood strip club of men is newcomer Maradona Rebello. Maradona has dropped all his clothes for his first Bollywood movie Pankh, directed by Sudipto Chattopadhyay. He has also appeared in a gay kiss scene with a boy on screen in Pankh. Actress Bipasha Basu is playing a sex confused girl.

As a beginner, it was a tough time for him to shed all his clothes before the camera. And kissing a boy before hundreds of people was even more disgusting. But he has managed beautifully and have done a wonderful job in all these scenes.

Bollywood actors like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan started a trend of semi nudity to attract fans, especially female fans. They just striped of their shirts though. This trend became an easy way to success and popularity. Actor Ranbir Kapoor had dropped his towel in a song of the movie Saawariya. John Abraham had dropped his underwear a little down below his trunk in the movie Dostana. He also appeared in a gay kiss scene with Abhshekh Bachchan. Neil Nithin Mukesh went even further and posed fully naked in his recent movie Jail.

However, it seems that the men stripping is turning out to be a new way of promoting oneself.

Actors Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza recently spotted together dining at a Mahim restaurant. No matter how many times the actors deny that they are seeing each other, one could not believe it after seeing them together at some restaurant in Mahim, Mumbai.

Both the actors and their friends were gathered together for a party to celebrate the success of Ritesh Deshmukh’s father Vilasrao Deshmukh being appointed as the Central Minister of Heavy Industries.

Both the stars had ordered for traditional south Indian food. They were together for over two hours and were comfortable with several fans who occasionally approached them for autographs. While they readily gave autographs, they refused to be photographed together.

If this is true then why they are hiding their relationship when they look so good together and seem so completely in love !!!
