HC quashes molestation case lodged by Preity Zinta against Ness Wadia

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday quashed a 2014 case lodged by city police against industrialist Ness Wadia for allegedly outraging the modesty of Bollywood actor Preity Zinta.

Both Zinta and Wadia along with their lawyers appeared before a division bench of justices Ranjit More and Bharti Dangre in the judges' chamber. "The case against Ness has been quashed. We have been told by the court not to divulge anything more," Wadia's lawyer Aabad Ponda said later.

Zinta's lawyers also refused to give any details. On October 1, the court had suggested that Wadia and Zinta settle the issue amicably. Zinta's lawyer had said she was willing to settle the matter if Wadia was ready to apologise.

Advocate Ponda had then said that his client was ready to bury the hatchet, but he would not apologise.

The alleged incident had taken place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 30, 2014 during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match.

Zinta and Wadia are co-owners of the IPL team Kings XI Punjab.

According to the complaint, Wadia was abusing the team staff over ticket distribution when Zinta asked him to calm down as their team was winning.

He abused her too and molested her by grabbing her arm, Zinta alleged, as per the first information report (FIR) lodged on June 13, 2014 under IPC sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 504 (intentional insult), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 509 (using word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman).

In February this year, police filed a charge sheet against Wadia, following which he approached the high court seeking quashing of the case.

In his petition, Wadia claimed the case arose out of "personal vengeance" and the incident was merely a "misunderstanding".

Preity Zinta lashes out at journalist for 'editing' her comment on #MeToo movement

New Delhi: Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has been at the receiving end of the Twitterati after her comments on the Me Too movement went viral on social media. However, the actress has now said that her statements were taken out of context. Preity lashed out at the journalist on Twitter for editing her comments.

During an interview to web portal Bollywood Hungama, Zinta was asked if she had ever personally experienced any sort of harassment, to which she replied, "No, I haven't, I wish I had. (laughs) Atleast, then, I would have had an answer to tell you. No and that's what I am saying that this is very relevant question because people treat you the way you want to be treated."

Later, Preity claimed that the interview was wrongly edited. She took to Twitter and wrote, "Really sad 2see how the interview Is edited to trivialis& be insensitive. Not everything is traction & as someone being interviewed I expected decency & maturity froma journalist @iFaridoon. I did 25 interviews that day & only yours turned out edited like this #dissappointed."

On the work front, Preity would be next seen in 'Bhaiyaji Superhit'.The film also stars Sunny Deol, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Sanjay Mishra, Brijendra Kala and Ameesha Patel.

Now men think twice before harassing women: Preity Zinta

Mumbai: Amid the ongoing controversy on her comment on the #MeToo movement, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta said it is an encouraging step to a big change for the future as men now think twice before harassing a woman at the workplace.

"Working on Kavach safety men said to me if women want 2B safe they should not go out - After the #MeToo movement same people are worried & say - Kal ki Sweetu aaj ki MeToo ho Sakti hai ! Now men think twice before harassing a woman at work. Isn't Prevention better than cure? This is the power of the Me too movement & it's an encouraging start to a big change for the future," the actress said in a statement.

The controversy started when one of her video interviews went viral online where she commented on the #MeToo Movement.

When asked about her opinion on the #MeToo movement Preity said: "I think it is important for women and men to use it for the right thing because there are men and women that would use their position of power for their advantage. But I do feel bad when women are using it when it is not that serious or for personal vendetta or for publicity."

Asked if she has ever faced any sexual harassment in the film industry, Preity told the interviewer: "No I haven't... I wish I had. So that I had an answer to tell you as to how," and then she laughed.

"This is a very relevant question because people treat you like the way you want to be treated," she added.

Her response to the matter did not go well with the large audience especially on social media and she started getting flak.

The movement gained momentum in the last few months in India where several Bollywood actresses and budding filmmakers and writers shared about their harassment at the workplace by powerful people in the industry.

Earlier in the day, she wrote on Twitter: "Really sad to see how the interview is edited to trivialize and be insensitive. Not everything is traction & as someone being interviewed, I expected decency & maturity from a journalist @iFaridoon. I did 25 interviews that day and only yours turned out edited like this #dissappointed."

Mumbai:Actress Preity Zinta, who is making a come back to films after a decade with "Bhaiaji Superhit", says the movie has given her new challenges as an actor and she was quite nervous on the first day of the shoot.

Sharing her experience of working in her comeback film, Preity told IANS: "I was pretty nervous to face the camera after a long gap…I was so worried that I thought I forgot acting. This is not only the film that I was doing after a long time but also I was exploring a new genre."

"I never wear a sari in any of my films, never played a funny character like Sapna Dubey and above all that I had to learn a new dialect as the film is set in North India. I had challenges and excitement to get on to the film set," said the "Soldier" actress.

Starting with "Dil Se" in 1998, Preity acted in several commercially successful films like "Soldier", "Kya Kehna", "Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega", "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke", "Dil Chahta Hai", "The Hero: Love Story of a Spy" and "Veer Zara" among many others.

"Bhaiaji Superhit" also features Sunny Deol, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Sanjay Mishra, Brijendra Kala and Ameesha Patel.

Preity's last big released film was the 2008 "Heroes" which also featured Sunny.

Asked about being part of a multi-starrer again, the "Kal Ho Naa Ho" actress said: "Neerraj (Pathak, director and writer) has written a very funny film and then we have got very good actors in the film. I have worked with Arshad earlier in ‘Salaam Namaste' and I want to tell you, he is very cool and funny guy to work with. Of course, I have worked with Sunny, so it was like reuniting with my co-stars and good friends on a film set.

"Ameesha is very sweet to me and we had a great cast and crew."

"Bhaiaji Superhit" is releasing on November 23.

#MeToo: Preity Zinta apologises for hurting sentiments

New Delhi: Actor Preity Zinta, who has been receiving backlash for her views on #MeToo movement, released her statement on the movement and aplogised for unintentionally hurting sentiments of people.

In her statement, the 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' star said, "I am a huge supporter of the movement and its unfortunate that some of my comments were taken out of context. I recognise that everyone is in a position to fight back and I don't want to marginalise the women that have been abused."

Referring to her own #MeToo experience, Preity said that it also happened to her and she reacted to it strongly. "My reason for saying this `I wish something like this would have happened to me, I would have reacted to it and much layer, when it did happen, I did react and the whole world saw it," she stated.

The #MeToo movement, which began in Hollywood more than a year ago, gathered steam in India after actor Tanushree Dutta accused co-star Nana Patekar of allegedly harassing her on the sets of 'Horn Ok Pleassss' in 2008.

Since then, women from various walks of life, especially the media and entertainment industry have levelled allegations of sexual misconduct against Subhash Ghai, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl, Kailash Kher, Chetan Bhagat, Sajid Khan, and Varun Grover among others even as they all have denied the charge.

I've never read a script in my career: Sunny Deol

Mumbai: Thirty five years and several blockbusters later, actor Sunny Deol says his process of working in a film is purely "instinctive" where he is more interested in listening to the storyteller than reading scripts.

For Sunny, it is a matter of choice that he avoids reading scripts as he believes he might look at them with a "certain mindset" and hence prefers to hear them straight from the writers.

"I am a very instinctive person. I hear an idea, a thought and if it is good and I like it, I just jump for it. I don't go into the detailings of it. Right now, you need to do that but back then filmmaking was different. I never read scripts," Sunny told PTI.

"I just hear the idea from the director and go for it. I have always interacted with the story writer and heard the subject because that's what is going to eventually come over on screen," he adds.

Since his debut in 1983 with "Betaab", Sunny has featured in some strong content driven films like "Ghayal", "Damini", "Darr" and "Gaddar Ek Prem Katha", among others.

A process of not reading scripts can be considered risky but Sunny still goes by his instincts while giving nod to a film.

"One never takes it as gamble. I do it because I love it and I'm enjoying the story. Obviously sometimes in the journey you realise the production, the director, writer, or some things are going here and there but you don't disown it. You don't run away because it's everyone's baby," he says.

The actor is seen in "Bhaiaji Superhit", which also features Preity Zinta and Arshad Warsi.

The film is set in Sunny's familiar territory, action-comedy, but the actor says it does not mean he goes to the sets thinking it will be a cakewalk.

"I don't think I have ever worked with the attitude that 'This is easy I can do it.' Hats off to those who say and do it. For me, I need to enjoy it. You can't be nervous while performing a scene because then you wouldn't be able to," he says.

The 62-year-old actor, however, is aware that to stay relevant, he has to pick up roles which move according to times.

"I cannot be a teenager in films. You move accordingly and your experience makes you do certain subjects which you wouldn't have done when you were younger. As the time goes, you interact and become more aware of certain things.

"It'll be stupid if I still want to play a college boy. Besides that nobody would want to make it also. It's only when the filmmakers know that this actor can pull it off, is when they approach you," he adds.

Directed by Neerraj Pathak and produced by Chirag Dhariwal, "Bhaiaji Superhit" releases on Friday.

Nepotism will always exist but you can't stop those hungry to prove themselves: Preity Zinta

Mumbai: Nepotism is an oft-debated topic in Bollywood award shows and interviews but it is not a new concept, says Preity Zinta as she believes it is natural for parents to help their children.

Preity, an outsider herself, said the industry is dominated by people who have made a name for themselves, irrespective of where they come from.

"It is an age-old thing that parents will help their children. Nepotism does exist. But then there are stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and others who are not from industry and are superstars," she told PTI in an interview.

"There will always be nepotism and you can't change that but one should never underestimate those who have a hunger to prove themselves in the industry.

The actor said growing up, she always wanted to be financially independent.

"My dad passed away when I was young. There was a strong desire within me to be financially independent. I was doing criminal psychology, I wanted to crack crimes. I am a great investigator, I can find out anything. I used that part of me in developing characters," she said.

Preity, who stars in 'Bhaiyaji Superhit' opposite Sunny Deol, said she took a break to focus on her IPL team.

Looking back, Preity said she had no knowledge about cinema when she entered Bollywood but knew that hard work wins over talent.

"I never thought I would become a big actor or star, I didn't even think it was possible. Then I was sure I would work till I am excited. After I did 'Veer Zaara' and 'Salaam Namaste', I reached a point where nobody let me experiment.

"I felt I should try something different. I went and met all the producers and directors with whom I had worked and said, "Please don't offer me any films as I am getting into sports'. They thought I was crazy and part of me was. It was new and so I was excited and nervous. Also, it was my dream to be an entrepreneur," she said.

Preity, 43, said the film's offer came to her at a time when she was feeling restless as her entrepreneurial journey was now on autopilot.

"..That's when Sunny Deol called me for this film. I am grateful that whenever I have wanted to do something different I have got an opportunity."

"I have much respect for Sunny. He is older to me. Shah Rukh and Salman are my buddies. I heard the script and I loved it and I laughed a lot during the narration."

Preity said she was initially reluctant despite liking the character but her husband Gene Goodenough encouraged her to continue doing what she loves - acting.

She said she felt like a newcomer on the sets and for a moment she felt that she had 'forgotten how to act'.

"I was shaking so much. There was a very intense four page scene which I shot first. When I do an intense or emotional scene, I don't like any kind of distraction. I did the first scene and everyone started clapping. I went into my vanity van and had tears rolling out of my eyes."

She says, as an actor, she needs to feel excited, nervous and challenged to bring her best onscreen. "I am the worst person when I am too confident, then I don't put efforts and feel I am amazing and I fall flat on my face."

Bhaiaji Superhit movie review: An obsolete, tedious rom-com

Film: Bhaiaji Super Hit

Director: Neerraj Pathak

Cast: Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Arshad Warsi, Ameesha Patel, Jaideep Ahlawat, Brajesh Kala, Shreyas Talpade and Ranjeet

Rating: 2

Director Neerraj Pathak's 'Bhaiaji Superhit' is a romantic comedy with situations and emotions which seem anachronistic, including its setting and characters.

Bhaiaji aka 3D (Sunny Deol), a Mahadev bhakt, is a don in Benaras whom everyone fears, but he is actually a saviour of the poor and the needy. His wife Sapna Dubey (Preity Zinta) is of a suspicious nature and owing to some misunderstanding, she leaves him.

How Bhaiaji pines for her and in order to get her back, even agrees to produce a film to impress her and the complications that arise as a result, forms the crux of the story.

The characters are all trite and appear obsolete. The situations are predictable and the dialogues, replete with hackneyed humour and thus, a forced attempt at eliciting laughter. "Pen nahin hai par pain hai," is a case in point.

The plot lacks originality and no attempt is made to inject freshness anywhere in the film. It appears outdated, oft-seen and cliched, from the word go. However, there are some exaggerated comic scenes and double entendres, which do make the audience chuckle, no matter how incredulous.

Sunny Deol as Bhaiaji is an extension of himself -- bashing people, blazing guns and breaking glass with aplomb, sans any expression on his face. His gawky dance steps along with his characteristic, insipid dialogue delivery, too are the same as always. There is nothing he does that you have not seen him do before.

Preity Zinta as his zesty wife Sapna Dubey, is bubbly and energetic and performs convincingly, but her fake UP accent with an urban twang, is irksome.

Arshad Warsi as Goldie Kapoor, a successful Bollywood director, is his usual whacky self and it is his impeccable comic timing, along with some goofy lines, that make his character endearing.

Ameesha Patel as a popular Bollywood actor, Malika Kapoor, is lacklustre, trying hard to exude oomph, but adds nothing to her character.

Shreyas Talpade as Porno Ghosh, a struggling writer, is the quintessential Bengali caricature in Hindi films, albeit, funny in parts.

Jaideep Ahlawat as Helicopter Mishra, another don, keen to usurp Bhaiaji`s positon and become the numero uno, is impressive and has a good screen presence too.

The rest of the ensemble cast, including Sanjay Mishra, Ranjeet, Brajesh Kala, Pankaj Tripathi, are capable and deliver what is expected of them, but are stereotypical, never rising above their cliched characters. Perhaps it is their poorly written characters that limit them too.

Being a Sunny Deol film, the action scenes are astutely handled. The music is mediocre, with "Sleepy sleepy akhiyaan" and "Do naina", decently picturised.Overall, "Bhaiaji Superhit" is a leave-your-brains-behind rom-com which entertains you in parts, but is mostly tiresome.

Sunny Deol rues lack of comedy films in Bollywood

Mumbai: Actor Sunny Deol says people in Bollywood don't make comedy films like 'Bhaiaji Superhit' anymore.

"The decision to take up the movie was based on my instinct. I have acted in comedy movies previously, but this was quite an experience. I truly feel that the role I play in `Bhaiaji Superhit` is almost on the lines of the roles I used to play in the 1990s - where men are vendetta-driven and love to stomp feet, flex biceps, uproot water pumps and roar like lions," Sunny said in a statement.

Set in Varanasi, 'Bhaiaji Superhit' revolves around '​bhaiaji' who wants to be an actor in Hindi cinema. It also features Preity Zinta, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Ameesha Patel. The film will premiere on Zee Cinema on December 25.

"Bollywood doesn`t make such movies anymore and hence it becomes really important for today`s millennials to watch movies like this," he added.

Sunny is known for his performance in iconic films like 'Border', 'Gadar - Ek Prem Katha', 'The Hero: Love Story of a Spy', 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' and 'Ghayal'.
