Bollywood superstar Salman Khan says he has “tears of gratitude” for the overwhelming love and support his fans and loved ones showered on him during and after the trial in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case.

“Tears of gratitude. To all my loved ones who are with me and never lost hope. Thank you for being there with all the love and support. God bless,” Salman tweeted on Monday.

The 52-year-old actor is out on bail after a Jodhpur court convicted him for killing two blackbucks near Kankani village in city while shooting “Hum Saath Saath Hain”. His co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam were co-accused, but they were acquitted, and Salman was sentenced to five years in prison.

Salman spent two days in Jodhpur Central Jail, after which he was out on bail on April 7, much to the delight of his fans and family members and the dismay of the Bishnoi community and animal rights activists. He cannot leave the country without the court’s permission.

The superstar came back to Mumbai to a hero’s welcome as fans crowded outside his Galaxy Apartments home here, distributing sweets and bursting crackers to celebrate his homecoming. Salman was overwhelmed with the love and had even appeared at the balcony to wave at his fans and acknowledge their unending support.

Salman is likely to return to shoot “Race 3” soon.

Earlier on Monday, his sister Arpita Khan Sharma had posted an emotional note.

“My strength, my weakness, my pride, my joy, my life, my world. God’s child. God bless all the people that can’t handle you or your success, I wish only positivity and happiness for you.

“May all the jealousy and negativity fade away. I pray you shine even brighter than you are and blind everyone with your success and good deeds. Love you Bhai,” she wrote.

IT TOOK 7 HOURS FOR AMITABH & RISHI TO GET INTO ‘102 NOT OUT’ LOOK

‘102 Not Out’ will see Amitabh Bachchan & Rishi Kapoor sharing screen space after a gap of 27 years. Bachchan plays Rishi Kapoor’s father. A lot of prosthetics & make up was used to make them look like their character’s age. Director Umesh Shukla states that it would take his ageing protagonists a staggering 7 hours for make – up every day, followed by 6 hours of shooting. He says, “Initially, I thought they would get irritated with the long – winded process but the make – up actually helped them emote and complemented their characters really well. Both Amitabh sir & Rishi ji would walk onto the sets at 5 am with a different kind of energy and we would commence shooting after lunch and go on till 6 pm. At times, the shoot extended to 9 pm. While Bachchan’s dentures were manageable, Kapoor’s bald cap was a cause of concern. Rishi ji, who plays a 70 year old character, would feel extremely hot in it. Whenever he removed it, and I am not exaggerating, it looked like he was sweating by the glass. He had to wear that cap for at least 12 hours every day,” he revealed. The film has been written by Saumya Joshi & directed by Umesh Shukla.

​NEW YORK BASED SCHOOL TO MAKE DOCUMENTARY ON RAVEENA TANDON’S SINGLE MOTHERHOOD!

Raveena Tandon was the 1st ever to do away with the stigma of single parenthood as she adopted 2 daughters in 1995. And 2 decades after that, the super mommy has been approached by a New York based school called “Film Connection” to narrate the story of motherhood in a documentary based on her life, which shall outline the journey of raising up 2 daughters by herself. Always the one to be ahead of times, Tandon says, “Back then, the wave of feminism hadn’t hit India as strongly as it has today. Female infanticide was on the rise. No one wanted to adopt daughters.” Raveena, who apparently adopted the girls from a distant cousin encountering financial troubles, says, “The moment I set my eyes on my girls, my life has been a joyride ever since.” When asked about the challenges of raising 2 children, the ravishing beauty said that the teen years were a rough patch but they have been her best friends ever after. Raveena added, “Unfortunately, people say nasty things to you when you take such a step, even if your intentions are pure. I faced a lot of flak from people, who said that the move would ruin my career. However, it turned out to be for the better. My life would have never been as blissful without them as it is today.”

‘MAASSAB’ IS AN ODE TO EDUCATION

Maassab Produced by Purushottam Studios & directed by award winning director & South Star Aditya Om & starring Shiva Suryavanshi & Sheetal Singh is on a roll getting selected at prestigious film festivals all over India. Maassab has also got critical appreciation from Cannes directors fortnight curator Benjamin Illios. The film is all about to start its international film festival circuit journey and is expected to release at the start of next year in India. Maassab is a unique film which deals with the state of primary education in rural India, where the concept of Mass education did not exist for centuries as education was only for the privileged. Many reformers, thinkers & teachers went about correcting this wrong and with democracy the speed of educating the masses grew manifold and so did the number of schools both private & Government. Private enterprise treated education like a business, provided better facilities but charged exorbitantly too making education elitist and deprived the poor. Government schools lack quality teachers and have poor infrastructure & rampant corruption. Our protagonist is one such reformer who believes that education is like a universal treasure on which everyone has equal right and sets about to do whatever he can in his individual capacity to spread quality education even in smaller villages to make every underdog a winner.

BANITA SANDHU SAYS, “SHOOJIT SIR DID NOT HOLD ANY WORKSHOPS FOR THE FILM OCTOBER”

October has created a buzz all over the country with its mesmerizing trailer. The leads of October, Varun Dhawan & Banita Sandhu shared their experiences on the unique working style of their director Shoojit Sircar. When asked about the prepping up process for their characters, debutant Banita Sandhu said, “Shoojit Sir wanted raw emotions, hence there were no workshops held for us. This helped us to explore ourselves and bring out our emotions in the most natural manner. I could not have asked for a better debut than October. Having worked with him in an ad film before, Shoojit Sir is par excellence.” Varun Dhawan adds, “Shoojit Sircar is a genius! His style of working has not only made me grow as an actor but also changed me personally as a human being. My brief was simple as I had to play myself onscreen”. Produced by Ronnie Lahiri & Sheel Kumar, October stars Varun Dhawan & Banita Sandhu.

On Monday, stand-up comedian Sidharth Sagar made serious allegations against his parents, mainly his mother, whom he accused of squandering away all his hard-earned money, leaving him penniless, homeless and institutionalised for a mental disorder that he said he never suffered fro

On the other hand, his mother says Sidharth is addicted to drugs and becomes uncontrollable when he takes them. She told journalists that she had made efforts to get him out of the habit.

Sidharth’s accusations sound disturbingly close to what veteran actress Sarika went through. Working from the age of four, and making quite a name for herself as a child actor, Sarika grew up thinking she had a fat bank balance to fall back on. But one fine day she was told by her mother that there was no money. Sarika left her home penniless and slept in her car for a week.

Siddarth’s case is not just tragic, but also bizarre. He claims his mother, whom he loved and trusted unconditionally, first separated him from his spiritual guru, then declared him mentally unfit, feeding him wrong medication camouflaged in his food, had him thrown into rehabilitation (for substance abuse, which Sidharth admits being guilty of) and then admitted into a mental asylum where, he claims, he was thrashed regularly by a group of men before being rescued by his managers.

Strangely, Sidharth doesn’t remember the name of the mental asylum where he was tortured for days.

This is a breathtaking drama of deception and escape. Sidharth broke down while narrating it. The question is how much of it can we believe and how much of it is simply an aggrieved son’s imagination?

What may have happened to Sidharth is not uncommon in the entertainment business. Sarika, as I said, lost all her money and severed all ties with her mother. The legendary Nutan took her mother, the actress Shobana Samarth, to court over a property dispute. Sridevi and her sister were at loggerheads over their mother’s property.

But none of the above disputes got as ugly as Sidharth Sagar’s.

While the merit of his accusations need to be examined closely, there is a likelyhood that this young man has been treated unfairly by people close to him. What makes money such a poor unifier? What gives parents the right to treat their children as money-making machines, often at the risk of exposing them to unmentionable dangers? Pratyusha Bannerjee, who committed suicide two years ago, was allegedly pushed into television by her parents whom she supported financially even when broken from within.

Daisy Irani has spoken of how she was raped at the age of six by her guardian.

What makes some parents perpetrators of cruel acts which forfeit the childhood of their children? Pushing kids to perform for the camera and usurping their hard-earned money for self-gratification was a trend that started during the time when Shirley Temple won America’s collective heart.

Today, when Sidharth Sagar accuses his Mommy Dearest of taking away his money and mental equilibrium, we can only wonder whether there is need for a law protecting performing children from exploitation by their near ones.

He targeted Spotboye editor Vickey Lalwani in one of his tweets and has now filed a legal complaint against the editor and his rumoured ex-girlfriend and producer Preeti Simoes and her sister Neeti Simoes.
