The entertainment world was left shocked by the news that choreographer Jani Master admitted to grave offences like rape, harassment and intimidation against a young colleague. This case of sexual assault has captured widespread attention.
Choreographer Jani Master was accused of sexually assaulting his colleague during outdoor shoots over several years. He faced charges under IPC sections 376, 506 and 323, along with the POCSO Act. His confession led to a 14-day remand in judicial custody, underlining the seriousness of the allegations.
The victim said to be a minor during the 2020 incident, revealed the distressing harassment she endured. Despite financial challenges, she sought work through Jani Master, only to face more abuse. His use of threats and coercion, including forcing her to convert to Islam, painted a troubling picture of her suffering.
As Great Andhra reported, the officials said, “The case is solid, and the chances of bail are minimal. We are currently discussing the application for his custody to facilitate further questioning regarding the allegations made against him.”
Following his arrest in Goa, Jani Master’s wife defended him, alleging a planned attack on his reputation. Nevertheless, the legal process continued, including POCSO Act sections. She said, “The allegation that the woman was harassed when she was 16 is disgusting. There is no truth in it. If the girl can show evidence, I will leave Master.” Industry response included suspending him from roles pending inquiry completion.
As the case develops, this incident sheds light on industry practices and the importance of swift action in similar situations, showing the significance of standing against wrongdoing.
After receiving a dissapointing review from fans and movie critics, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malvika Mohanan starrer Yudhra opened on the screens averagely well on Day 1. According to industry specialist, Sacnilk, Yudhra on Friday opened with a total box office collection of 4.5 crores net collection in India. This is one of Siddhant Chaturvedi’s lowest earning at box office after performing well.
Comparatively, the film garnered more attention than Kareena Kapoor’s The Buckingham Murders, which opened up with just 1.5 crores net collection. The Ravi Udwyar directorial had an overall 46.54% Hindi Occupancy which was probably more than the thriller mystery released last week. This film also features Raghav Juyal, Ram Kapoor, Shilpa Shukla, Gajraj Rao, and Raj Arjun in subsequently important roles. The production of the film was taken over by Ritesh Sidhwani, and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment.
After giving superhits like Kill and Gyaarah Gyaarah, this film pulled down Raghav’s performance to a level down.Fans expressed utter disappointment after watching the Kill star struggle to do good in Yudhra. So far the reviews tell that the film has got some amazing action sequences, worth watching. But, considering the overall storyline and online presence, it can be skippable as it fails to hold the audience’s grip. Well, an average weekend collection is anticipted by fans so far. The overall box-office collection is expected to take a rise during Saturdays and Sundays.
Film maker Tigmanshu Dhulia is recognised for his praiseworthy projects like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Saheb Biwi aur Gangster’, Paan Singh Tomar, Bullet Raja and many more.

Kashmera Shah and Krushna Abhishek, who grew close on the sets of their 2007 film Aur Pappu Paas Ho Gaya, recently shared some delightful secrets about their relationship. In a candid conversation during the LOL podcast with Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa, the couple opened up about how their relationship blossomed and the amusing, spontaneous way they got married, almost like playful children.
Kashmera, known for her participation in the very first season of Bigg Boss hosted by Arshad Warsi, revealed that it was during her time in the show that she realized she was deeply in love with Krushna. After the show ended, she wasted no time in reaching out to him to see where their relationship stood. Kashmera shared, “When Bigg Boss finished, I immediately contacted Krushna to see what he was doing, and he told me he was in Varanasi shooting for a Bhojpuri film. Since my name is Kashmera, ‘Kash Mira,’ I made some excuses to meet him. I asked, ‘What are you doing?’ He replied, ‘I’m in Banaras.’ I said, ‘I’ve never been to Varanasi, I really want to visit,’ and he said, ‘Come over.’ So I went there on February 1st, and on February 2nd, we went to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.”
In the podcast, Kashmera and Krushna shared how their playful nature led them to an unexpected yet memorable marriage. Kashmera went on to say, “After we reached the temple, I looked around quietly, and suddenly Krushna applied sindoor on me. He said, ‘From today, we’re married!’ It was just like a child’s game!” Krushna, with a grin, added, “We said there’s no need for a priest, no traditional rituals—God is watching, so it’s done. That’s it, our marriage happened.”
The couple, who had kept this fun and impromptu wedding a secret for years, revealed that they tied the knot on February 2, 2007. Kashmera laughed as she recalled the events, saying, “No one knew about it! It was just between us.”The week after their playful wedding brought more surprises for the couple. Kashmera added, “That Monday, we got married, and by Friday, Krushna’s Bhojpuri film Gavanwa Le Ja Raja was released. It became a super-duper hit! It was his first blockbuster after 24 films. Before we got together, none of his films had taken off, but this one had people sitting on the floors in the theaters to watch it.”
In the same podcast, Krushna and Kashmera also shared that when they first got together, they never expected their relationship to last long. They thought they would part ways after 3 or 6 months. However, as Krushna emphasized during the podcast, “Sometimes, God brings people together and you just know it’s meant to be. That’s what happened with us.”
In the end, the couple reflected on their journey with a sense of gratitude, amazed at how fate played its role in bringing them together and changing their lives in unexpected ways.

Zeenat Aman Views On The Term Aunty: गुजरे जमाने की एक्ट्रेस जीनत अमान आजकल भले ही फिल्मों में कम नजर आती है लेकिन सोशल मीडिया पर अक्सर सक्रिय रहती हैं। हरे रामा हरे कृष्णा एक्ट्रेस सोशल मीडिया पर अपने बेबाक राय के लिए इन दिनों बहुत ही मशहूर हैं। एक्ट्रेस ने सोशल मीडिया पर आज ऐसे मुद्दे को छेड़ दिया है। जिसे सुन हम अक्सर भड़क जाते हैं और गाहे बगाहे इससे हम व आप अक्सर दो चार होते रहते हैं। जानते हैं वो कौन सी चीज है। वो है एक शब्द अंकल या ऑन्टी। एक्ट्रेस जीनत अमान ने टर्म ऑन्टी को लेकर अपनी राय सोशल मीडिया पर रखी है और फैन्स से पूछा भी है कि इस टर्म से किसे प्राब्लम है वो हमे बताए।

In a latest interview with Lehren Retro, film Love Story’s actress unveiled her tumultous journey throughout her career. Right from falling in love with her first co-actor Kumar Gaurav, being rejected by Rajendra Kumar for his son, to the sad demise of her husband Aadesh Shrivastava, Vijayta Pandit came out on many hidden facets of her lift for the first time through a public platform.
While she also revealed about her sons Anivesh and Avitesh, she recalled how her husband always wanted both their children to study hard and achieve the prosperities of life. In a video snippet showing the interview on Lehren TV’s instagram, Akon’s wife Amirah-Iman Thiam has expressed love to Vijayta’s claims.

Kashmera Shah, the Indian actress who entered the film industry in the late ’90s, made her mark not only in films but also on television. Known for her bold and outspoken personality, she became famous for being strict and having a no-nonsense attitude. However, few people know the other side of Kashmera—her funny and playful nature. Recently, her husband, comedian Krushna Abhishek, revealed that the strict image she portrayed on reality TV, especially in Bigg Boss, was just an act. “Bigg Boss mein yeh acting kar rahi thi,” Krushna Abhishek says in a recent podcast, pointing out how people don’t realize how naturally funny she is in real life.
During a conversation on the ‘LOL’ podcast hosted by Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa, Harsh mentioned how amusing it is to see Kashmera Shah and Krushna Abhishek together on Colors TV’s show “Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment.” That’s when Krushna opened up about his wife’s true personality, revealing a side of her that the audience rarely sees. “Yeh asal mein Kashmera ke jo one-liners hain, kisi ko pata nahi hai ki yeh funny hai,” Krushna Abhishek says. He explained that Kashmera doesn’t participate in podcasts, doesn’t make funny reels, and rarely shares her comedic side with the public, which is why people don’t know how humorous she actually is.
Kashmera then chimed in to clear the air regarding her longstanding strict image which she had been tagged with for almost two decades. She admitted that her primary thinking language is Marathi or English, not Hindi. “Main jo sochti hu Marathi mein sochti hu ya fir English mein sochti hu,” she said, adding that it was Krushna who taught her Hindi. Her social circle consisted mostly of people who spoke English, so her natural fun side was known only to a few close friends. “Main unko bahut hasati thi jo mere English friends hain, jaise Salman Khan jinke sath maine 2-3 filmein ki hain,” she added, sharing how her humorous side was well-known among her friends in Bollywood.
Reflecting on her public persona, Kashmera said that people perceived her as strict because of the way she handled certain situations, especially with people who misbehaved. “Main strict un logon ke sath hu jo badtameezi karte hain,” she said. But in reality, she is amusing and fun-loving. Krushna further clarified that Kashmera has always been someone who doesn’t tolerate nonsense from anyone, whether in her career or personal life. “Kashmera unn logon mein se hai jo kisi ka bhi sh*t nahi leti,” he said, giving an example of how she doesn’t fear speaking her mind, regardless of the consequences.
Harsh Limbachiyaa, during the podcast, highlighted how Kashmera appeared cute and funny on the show “Laughter Chefs,” even though she had always been beautiful. Kashmera herself admitted that being called cute was a new experience for her. “Main cute kabhi nahi thi, cute word mere sath suna hi nahi,” she joked. She went on to share a humorous incident from a recent shopping trip for the Ganpati festival. Someone at the store told her how much they adored her and how cute they thought she was. Kashmera, amused, called Krushna immediately to share the news, saying, “Main kalr wapas Laughter Chefs ke show pe aane wali hu.”
Krushna added that earlier, people took selfies with Kashmera because she was an actress who had appeared in certain movies. Now, however, they take pictures with her because they genuinely love her for who she is—funny, real, and down-to-earth.
Kashmera Shah first gained national attention as a contestant on the inaugural season of Bigg Boss in 2006, where her fierce and straightforward attitude left a lasting impression. While many people remember her for that, Kashmera’s fun and goofy side is something only those close to her have witnessed.
