Shiney Ahuja – Rapist or been Framed -up?

Rape case is always been headline catcher for centuries, what if a celebrity involved in it? The television channels will be celebrating it like a carnival with different interviews and their own versions with top of the range creativity, few channels with reputation of being Sherlock Holmes will be doing their own investigations with hidden cameras fitted every where even on some highly enigmatic undisclosed body parts!

Shyney Ahuja is one of the raising handsome actors in Bollywood. Very much married and has a two year old kid. Why should he rape his house made when there are plenty of angel looking actresses are around him with complete willingness? One can contradict the view of mine with a simple theory of wild - hunter always likes to hunt! Yeah, right! There is no entertainment when the prey is ready to be hunted, thanks to Animal Planet for this information!

The victim, a resident of Vasai suburb in neighboring Thane district, used to commute by local train to Shiney's home daily for doing household chores along with two other part-time servants. One late night when nobody was there at home Shiney raped the girl repeatedly and threatened her to kill if she discloses this to anybody!

Frankly, Shiney Ahuja is in a deep shit already, as if it is not enough for him; in another alarming disclosure, as per general physical examination, the victim could be aged between 17-18 years making her a minor as per Indian laws. DNA samples taken by forensic experts from clothes and other personal belongings of the actor and the victim were sent for tests.

Medical tests conducted earlier had confirmed the girl had been raped!

Shiney Ahuja’s version came out as expected – it was consensual sex. But the teenage girl’s primary test doesn’t support his version!

Sex, city and crime is regular themes of Bollywood, there were number of sex involved controversies those enriched the stars like Jack Shareef and Power Kapoor, but all of them were consensual sex and no rape has been reported till now. This is something new and extremely terrifying!

Now Shiney's wife came for her husband's rescue with the statement to the press says "My husband is been framed-up by someone probably because he is a soft target. I know Shiney for 15 years and he will not commit a crime like this! He is my man!"

What ever the case is, there will be two opinions to everything regardless of good or bad. Let’s see who all are supporting Shiney Ahuja and who all are not;

Pritish Nandy: The matter is under investigation. I strongly believe in justice taking its own course. However, I feel too many people are jumping to too many conclusions. Let's not judge Shiney until the investigations are concluded.

J Yeah, right. But Shiney is a suspect and he is in police custody, will you agree that? Or will you say that too people’s hallucinations?

Mahesh Bhatt: The news has shocked and shamed us. The Shiney we at Vishesh Films worked with in Gangster - A Love Story and Woh Lamhe is not the demon that surfaced in the media on Sunday night. If what is alleged is proved in the courts, we must condemn the dastardly deed with all our might. Our outrage cannot be selective.

J Mr.Mahesh Bhatt, your intention is right though we doubt about the outrage you are talking about.

Anurag Basu: I'm in a state of shocked disbelief. This has got to be conspiracy to malign him. Shiney has done two of his best films with me. We've bonded over a long period of time. Never ever has there been even a hint of bad behaviour from him. I wouldn't have tolerated it. It's not fair to try Shiney on television. Let the law decide. I'll believe it only if Shiney himself tells me. He has worked with some of the most beautiful heroines. No one has ever had any grievance against him. I feel this is a trap to malign him.

J Shiney himself agreed to the police that he had consensual sex with the girl in order to escape the rape charge, we know you won't even believe that until he come to your house and tell you that he had consensual sex with the girl, still you will be insisting to show it in real how it happened to be convinced completely! And we don’t think any heroines will complain against him either!

Sudhir Mishra: What can I say? The Shiney that I know and the Shiney that I hear about now are two different entities. Though he has been a little upset with me for six months because I was working with others actors, we're very close. Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi was not just the film that launched him it was also a turning point in my career. It bonded us for a lifetime. I just can't believe that the Shiney, who is being accused of this behaviour, is the same person I know. There were so many women on the sets. They never had any complaints about Shiney's behaviour. In fact, Shiney did a film with my assistant Ruchi Narain called Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow . Shiney was always a thorough gentleman. I'm sure there's some misunderstanding here.

J What kind of misunderstanding? The girl raped Shiney with a special tool and media aired the wrong news?! Mr.Sudhir, you are indirectly insulting your assistant Ruchi Narain, now there will be some suspicious eyes on her too! For your kind information; no rapists will be walking around on the streets with his zippers opened and looking for a prey nor do they write it on their forehead!

Mukesh Bhatt: I'm appalled by the way the electronic medium has already labelled Shiney a rapist. You can't do this to a man who has a family, career and a bright future. Do these byte-hungry channels realise how his career would be affected by all these premature and careless reports? Punish him by all means, if he's guilty. But let the law decide that. How do we now what really happened? Anyone can say anything about someone in the limelight. Suppose they had consensual sex? This behaviour seems so out of character and so absurd.

J Agreed. Don’t call him rapist till it is proved. But not anyone is accusing anybody simply because he is in the limelight. For example we are not accusing you for some wrong doings just because you are part of Bollywood!

Kunal Kohli: I worked briefly with Shiney in Fanaa. This is indeed very sad. Rape is the worst crime a man can commit against a woman. If he's guilty, then it's really very shocking and shameful. Any rapist should be dealt with in the severest way.

J Diplomatic or honest?

Shilpa Shetty: It's shocking! I can't believe it. We don't know for sure what transpired between Shiney and the girl and we really can't say what the truth is. But if it really happened, it's sad.

J Mam, the girl got injured by a man’s nail, tooth and ****. And police primary test says it is Shiney the man who raped her. Now what you gonna do? Be sad? That’s it?

Chitrangada Singh: I worked with him in two films. It's very shocking and unfortunate. Though I didn't know him personally, I felt he was a nice guy on the sets. Kept a bit aloof. Quiet and ambitious. He got along with people just fine. I hope the investigations are fair. And that someone doesn't get punished for being a celebrity. He seems to have said it was consensual sex. I think it takes courage to own up. I hope he stays strong through this. People do make mistakes. One has to pay for wrongs done. But the punishment should be fair. And if there's rape, justice has to be done to the girl.

J He said to the police it is consensual sex not because he got a lot of courage to own up, it is the only way out for him!

Latest news broke out while I am typing this article, National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Girija Vyas urged the Maharashtra government to try the case of Shiney Ahuja in a fast track court, she has come to Mumbai to meet the victim and also expressed her willingness to meet Shiney's wife Anupam.

Shiney has been booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sec 376 (rape), Sec 346 (wrongful restraint) and Sec 506 (threat to kill) among others.

The ultimate truth will surface very soon. Keep visiting this blog for more than just news!

Freida Pinto – A lost love story!

As soon as one become a star there will be hell of a lot controversies coming and hitting from all directions. It was not different in Freida Pinto’s (Slumdog Millionaire fame) case as well, shot into fame over night. In London, US and India she became one of the most recognizable faces! Thanks to the brilliant Oscar winner movie Slumdog Millionaire. Being famous and being recognized by the crowd was a beautiful feeling for her in the beginning as she was one of the millions walking down in the street without drawing any attention till last year. Dany Boyale turned her struggling professional life upside down to provide the fortune along with her co star Dev Patel in the same movie.

Freida Pinto never revealed her private life in any interview, suddenly a news broken out that she was married to an Indian called Rohan Antao in Goa in December 2007, she kept the wedding as a top secret because as aspiring actress in Bollywood, spinster stand a better chance to strike big in glamorous world than that of a married one!

Rohan Antao seems to be heartbroken after Pinto ended up the relationship in January 2009. The fame, money, glitters are blinded Pinto to such an extend; she can’t even recognize her own husband in a fine morning. The couple had been together since 2004, Rohan stood by her through thin and thick, each and every time she fails to impress Mumbai movie Directors, he gave her the shoulder to ease on. He was her encouragement and support, they both studied in St Xavier's collage in Goa. When she took up modeling as a profession he provided her everything she required, physically, mentally and financially. According to one of their common friends; "Freida and Rohan fell in love at college and were extremely close. They were great together. The marriage was an impulsive decision and both of them went to a designer to get the gown made. Rohan was with her throughout her years as an actress when she was not at all famous. He supported her during the filming of Slumdog and the pair even celebrated the film's success at the Toronto Film Festival together last year. However, she just stopped calling him around the time of the Golden Globes awards, when the film started to make waves internationally. He is completely shocked at being dumped and is heartbroken."

A great story for a full masala bollywood movie is already here, just like some greats said in the past the real life is stranger than fiction! A poor fellow who loved his wife with his heart and tears, supported and pushed her to fame, hung around at each studio doors where she had interviews and screen tests, smoked hundreds of cigarettes while waiting for her to come back from the shooting locations after the modeling assignments, at the end he has been dumped like an ice stick right after she achieved all what he wished for! Can’t strike a tragedy in one’s life worst than this!

Freida Pinto’s Indian agent, Meenakshi Gehani, said: "We do not want to comment on this matter. However, if she is married then whoever is claiming it should produce a marriage certificate."

Frieda met Rohan for the last and final time to beg him not to spoil her shooting star career; she was ready to give anything he asks for except herself. Money, wealth, flat or luxury car. The dejected lover wiped off his tears and walked away from her, in that long quick walk not even once he turned around and looked at her! He was the one once running her website and handling her publicity to launch her career hoping and dreaming to be a proud husband with her in red carpet and flashing lights when she become famous one day!!

The latest news is Freida is in love with 5 years younger, Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel! Both were denied the news before several times though the press had caught them lip locking and cuddling in beaches and cafes! Now Freida had confirmed she is dating 19 year actor Dev Patel describing him as a lovely boy! “ the friendship blossomed after the movie, it got even stronger now! This is all new to us”

For some unknown reason Bollywood bad man Gulshan Grover doesn’t seems to have such a good liking towards Freida Pinto. In recent visit to LA Gulshan Grover told his white friends that Frieda Pinto’s overnight success is not a big deal, in fact he went on claiming; each and every Goan girls resembles Frieda. But after seeing Freida’s steamy pictures in so many western glamour magazines; none of them were ready to believe Gulshan, they tried to correct Gulshan in return saying she is one hot chick, and deserve all the success she is having now! Mmm, now I know the yard stick for an American actress to be a successful one!

Dev Patil’s mother also seems to be very happy. “First it was the film and now everything else seems to have slotted into place. Life can't get any better for him. "Freida is really beautiful and I am really happy for them."

In February 2009 Slumdog Millionaire co star Anil Kapoor claimed that the couple were having a secret relationship, now we know Anil bhai was right on the money! OK, Mr.Anil Kapoor, what all the other stories you knows about them? Like, how often they share the bed, which position she prefers, what all they talk in free time, why is she laughing loud whenever they are together…

What ever the case we wish a much better life for Rohan Antao, and really hope he get some brains to avoid the mistake that he did with Pinto in future!
