Sonal Chauhan

Actress Sonal Chauhan has claimed she was mistreated and harassed by the organiser of a fashion event, where she was invited to be a showstopper. She will now be more careful about committing for any event, said a source close to her.

“Sonal and team were assured proper accommodation by the organiser whom we would not like to name for some reason. He said, ‘Please come, everything has been booked’, but nothing was done. I hope the organiser learns his lesson and does not do this to anyone again,” source close to Sonal, told.

“As a tip or warning, anybody going for a project or any work, take confirmation on all the details before going as we have completely lost trust. We had trusted the organiser and not in the faintest of imagination thought that such a thing would happen,” the source added.

The source also claimed that the organiser had been talking ill of actress Shamita Shetty, who too was there for the event.

“The organiser even bad-mouthed actress Shamita Shetty and her team, complaing about the food bill. Now if a person has brought in her team, stayed with them the whole day, won’t she take care of them? Why would she let them go hungry? The whole attitude is wrong, I must say,” added the source.

US to take away outsourcing jobs?

outsourcing

While the president of United States, Donald Trump is making decisive moves to stop companies from going out of the country and encouraging them to expand business there, it is apparently turning out to be a big stroke at Indian companies and employees too.

Several Tech giants and other companies from America usually spend a substantial chunk of money in outsourcing their work to Indian IT firms like Infosys, TCS, Cap Gemini, Cognizant and others. Also, the under-lying fact that our companies will manage to furnish the projects at a lesser cost and large amount of man power with a better performance is what makes US companies to rely more on India.

While Trump is targeting H1-B visa holders in a direct way, US Congress members David McKinley (Republican Party) and Green (Democratic Party) have jointly introduced a bill to eliminate outsourcing. Although bill involves all the countries, it is majorly aimed at stopping outsourcing to Indian companies.

In numbers, US projects outsource 1.45crore of jobs across the world and 75.29 lakhs of unemployed till December 2016. If America manage to hold all those jobs, it will not just eradicate the unemployment but also provide full-time jobs to those who’re working part-time.

It’s also leveled several allegations against Chinmayi.

Indian-Origin Businessman Harnish Patel Shot Dead Outside His Home In US

Untitled

NEW YORK:  With the nation still in shock from the killing of an Indian engineer in the US last week, another Indian-origin businessman has been shot dead outside his home in South Carolina, media reports said.

On Thursday night, Harnish Patel had closed his shop at 11.24 p.m. and barely ten minutes later he was shot dead outside his house in Lancaster, a media report said.

Patel’s death comes two days after President Donald Trump had condemned as “hate and evil” the killing of Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, the previous Wednesday in a Kansas bar.

Local officials in Lancaster, however, did not believe that Patel’s killing was a bias crime as investigations are on, The Herald reported

“I don’t have any reason to believe that this was racially motivated,” County Sheriff Barry Faile said on Friday.

In the February 22 Kansas killing, Kuchibhotla was shot dead by a man screaming, “Get out of my country”.

Another Indian Alok Madasani, who was with the victim at a bar, and an American, Ian Grillot, who tried to stop the shooting, were also shot and injured.

Adam Purinton, a white and a former Navy SEAL was arrested and charged with murder. He had reportedly said that he had shot two Iranians after shooting the Indians.

The hate crime was condemned by leaders in both the US and India.

In his State of the Union address to the joint session of the Congress on February 28, Trump said: “Last week’s shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a Nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms.”

Local WSOCTV said that in Lancaster there was a lot of anger over the killing of Patel, who was considered an important member of the community and a kind person who treated his customers as friends and helped law enforcement.

His store was close to the Sheriff’s office and deputies often frequented the store.

Faile said on TV that Patel was a “great family man” and a friend.

The station said that Patel was survived by his wife and child in elementary school, who were at home when he was killed.

People had created an impromptu shrine outside Patel’s Speed Mart store by leaving balloons and flowers in his memory, the station said. A sign on door read, “Store closed for few days because of family emergency. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

A tearful customer, Nicole Jones, told the station that when someone didn’t have money, Patel gave them food. “I would have no idea who would do this to him as good as he is to everybody,” she said.

A store employee, Keira Baskin, said that he only wanted the best for his employees and his family.

On Thursday night a woman called the police and said that she heard screaming and gunshots and when sheriff’s deputies arrived there they found Patel dead from apparent gunshot wounds a few feet from his house, WBTV reported.

Police found two shell casings at the crime scene. A police dog could not pick up any scent to follow from there, WSOCTV reported.

Katamarayudu Song: Fake 'Comments'?

Share

Moving over from the mania of records in terms of views and likes, fans of Telugu star heroes now look to be concentrating on ‘Comments’ records.

‘Mira Mira Meesam’ song from Pawan Kalyan’s Katamarayudu that was released a couple of hours ago, stormed the internet. The lyrical song was expected to amass record number of views and likes, and it did. However, the most surprising and astonishing record of the song was witnessed in ‘Comments’ section.

For the record, teasers of DJ and Katamarayudu were having the highest comments say 17K+ and 15K+ until ‘Mira Mira Meesam’ song shattered those records in less than 1 hour. By the time we write this article, the song has racked up 44K+ comments, which is about 3 times the previous highest.

It seems that fans of Pawan have achieved this ‘Comments‘ feat with perfect planning or so many number of comments for a mere lyrical song wouldn’t be possible. In comparison, even the record breaking trailer of Khaidi No.150 has some 7K+ comments only.

Mira Mira song also has 143K+ likes and it is expected to surpass DJ teaser in a matter of a few hours to stand only next to Katamarayudu teaser.

The madness for social media records seems to be going overboard.

If this is not enough, Suchitra’s ‘hacked’ account stated that she would be releasing hot video clips of the Tamil celebrities soon. And now this is now sending jitters down the spine of celebs who are now having sleepless nights.

Meanwhile, Suchitra and her husband Karthik claimed innocence and stated that her twitter account was hacked and distanced from the ongoing leak row. So, it’s still a mystery that who is really behind all these leaks. Let’s wait and see where the dispute between singer Suchitra and Dhanush is going to head.

Ram Gopal Varma's Bikini Comments Hurts Young Hero

Share

Ram Gopal Varma is unbeatable at least on twitter while at box office audiences are always winning on him these days by rejecting his films in a roll.

Commenting on hero Tiger Shroff’s birthday wishes poster, RGV tweeted, “You (Tiger) are great at martial arts but if BRUCE LEE ever posed like a bikini babe like u he wouldn’t have become BRUCE LEE. Please think (sic)”, igniting anger in the fan circles of this hero. As he directly called Tiger Shroff as a Bikini Babe, they started giving lessons to Varma about what is macho and what is sexy.

Varma didn’t budge, rather he compared Tiger with his father Jackie Shroff. “You might have a six pack of muscle groups better than Jackie Shroff but his eyes and body language have far better many groups”. It’s heard that Tiger Shroff is seriously hurt with those comments.

Incidentally Jackie Shroff was with Varma that day as the two have launched the trailer of “Sarkar 3” along with Amitabh Bachhan.

Pragnya Jaiswal Misses Lip Kiss!

Share

This week’s new movies released have been romantically a feast for cinema loving audience. Heroines Pooja Jhaveri, Anu Emmanuel and Pragnya Jaiswal served a glamour feast in ‘Dwaraka, Kittu Unnadu Jagratha’ and ‘Gunturodu’ respectively. But what was more interesting than this regular glamour is Pooja Jhaveri’s two lip locks with Vijay Devarakonda in ‘Dwaraka’ and Raj Tharun lip kiss with Anu Emmanuel in ‘Kittu Unnadu.’

Having known for strict objection to exposing and skin show, Pragnya Jaiswal has also crossed the border line besides Manoj Manchu in commercial masala outing ‘Gunturodu.’ Unlike the other two films had hot lip locks, ‘Gunturodu’ served only a special feast for eyes in the form of Pragnya’s new hot looks.

What’s more worrying is, none of these three films got off to unique positive talk despite having such beautiful and co-operative heroines. After erasing the self created restrictions by upping the glam quotient, hope Pragnya is now open for formula based hero centric projects from now on.

Nenu Sailaja combo repeats yet again

Share

The flick Nenu Sailaja has changed the image of Hero Ram as an improved actor. All his movies used to be highly energetic with dances and noisy dialogues. But the director Kishore took out the balanced Ram with his story and narration. Ram was seen as a settled actor in acting, dances, and dialogues. This change gave him much-needed hit after many flops. After that, he again scored a flop with Hyper. Taking a long gap for a director like Kishore, he is again teaming up with Kishore for an entertaining love story which will be completely opposite to Nenu Sailaja.

As of now, the script discussions are getting finalized. Soon they will start the pre-production followed by the regular shoot.
