Newz66.com launches Support Sitara Devi Online Petition

March 24, 2014; Mumbai: The Craftsmen, Artistes & Designers Promotion Forum or CADPF – a newly-formed NGO has decided to take up the cause of octogenarian and Padmashree Sitara Devi’s demand for a Dance Academy in Mumbai.

Kathak exponent and and a student of Sitara Devi’s daughter Jayantimala – Ranjana Bhattacharya of the CADPF said, “For decades since the late 1970s, 94-year-old Kathak Queen Padmashree Sitara Devi has been demanding a decent sized plot of land in or around Mumbai to start a residential dance academy to educate students both in Classical and modern styles of dance. She has met hundreds of politicians, collectors and even private individuals and corporate CEOs to support her dream but her demands have fallen on deaf years. The 94-year-old-plus Sitara Devi has been living in Mumbai for over 80 years now and while politicians and businessmen have been allocated plots over the years, this dancing legend has been sidelined and ignored.”

The CADPF has launched an online petition with a signature collection drive  located at www.newz66.com/support-sitara-devi/ and requested all lovers of all forms of dance and particularly Kathak to join this campaign to demand a professional and independent Dance Academy in Mumbai comparable to the best in the World.

To support this campaign and to SUPPORT SITARA DEVI’s demand for an Independent Dance Academy in Mumbai go to www.newz66.com/support-sitara-devi/ and leave your comments.

SHOCKING: Rahul Roy asks Arshi Khan to strip?

Model and actress Arshi Khan was shocked and dumbfounded when Mahesh Bhatt Production’s Aashiqui hero Rahul Roy,  who was on her friend list on Facebook asked her to send nude images via the popular social networking site. The 25-year-old Afghanistan-born was too surprised to say anything. Being an Aashiqui fan, Arshi had Rahul Roy on her friend’s list for quite some time now, though she had never chatted with the person behind the profile.

On Sunday, when she received a ‘hi’ she was intrigued. They say, once bitten, twice shy. After a fake Huma Qureshi demanded money for some social work, Arshi was doubly careful. She checked the profile before venturing a reply. The Rahul Roy Facebook profile was perfect in every way. It even bore Rahul Roy’s phone number – which co-incidently Roy has been using for many years now and has been published in various film directories. It had a complete list of all his films – including some of the latest unreleased projects which Rahul Roy has shot for, his residence and office address. In that sense it was a genuine fake.

Emboldened by the fact that the profile bore Rahul Roy’s phone number and address, she ventured a ‘hello’. About ten minutes into a routine, run-of-the-mill conversation regarding her work and acting career, the fake Rahul Roy said he was casting for a new film for his company Rahul Roy Productions and would like to consider her. An elated Arshi even volunteered to send her new portfolio pics. That is when Rahul Roy said he would like to see her in the ‘nude’ and that she could either strip on video chat or click some nude photographs with her mobile phone and upload them through Facebook chat.

When Arshi Khan shared the news with her manager and publicist he was surprised too. Her manager who happened to know Rahul Roy personally, messaged him asking for a clarification. This time around it was Rahul Roy turn to be shocked. He immediately denied the incident and issued a clarification. This is what Rahul Roy said:

“I have never had any Facebook profile. I am not only and social media networking site. Whoever is doing this is a fraud. This has sadly become the norm in the industry as we are soft targets. Whenever someone asks me about my Facebook profile or any social media, I always tell them that I do not trust social media. I do not rely on the internet or such ‘networking sites’ as anybody can misuse this anonymity and defraud unsuspecting people. I thank you for bringing this to my notice and will take necessary action.”

A little investigation by Newz66.com showed that the Facebook profile named Rahul Roy was created about a year ago. Some models even complained that the person behind the fake profile had even invited some models to a flat at New Mahada demanding sexual favors. Male models were asked for amounts ranging from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh to be given a role in Rahul Roy Productions’ projects.

Rahul Roy has completely denied these happenings. “I will take necessary action and get the profile deleted. We will also try to nab the scoundrel,” Roy told Newz66.com.

In a similar incident UK-based celebrity glamour model Charlotte Springer’s website was hacked and hi-resolution fashion and glamour photographs stolen. The photographs have found their way on to Facebook on a fake profile named Sayali Wankhede – who claims to be an Indian-origin-NRI model and has been actively networking with Indian photographers and websites. Charlotte Springer in an official communication to Newz66.com revealed that her pics were misused and that Indian portals and photographers should beware of the fake Sayali Wankhede.

Arshi Khan to feature in India’s first mainline Bollywood 4D historical film

Afghanistan-born, Bhopal-educated model and actress Arshi Khan will be seen in India’s first mainline Bollywood 4D historical action film tentatively titled “The Last Emperor“.

The film is produced by a Pune-based production house Ganesh Saraswati Films and will be directed by a well-known director from the south V Ganesh Kumar. Ganesh Saraswati Films is a tie-up between V Ganesh Kumar and Anand Saraswati Films of Pune owned partly by an NCP politician from the city.

The well-endowed and voluptuous Arshi Khan who has now made Mumbai her home says, “It’s a pleasure to be part of this project. The film covers a historical era and will portray the historical chronology of events in the late 16 and early 17th century in Maharashtra and south India. Maharashtra was ruled by the Mughals till the early 17th century after which the Marathas were the predominant power in the region. The film will portray the rule of the Nizamshahi of Ahmadnagar, Adilshah of Bijapur and the Qutubshah of Golkonda as well as the emergence of the Maratha kingdom in the mid 17th century as seen by British soldier. It also covers the death of the last Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1707 after an exhausting 27 years of futile war against the emerging Maratha power.

Arshi Khan was born in Afghanistan but came in India when she was just 4years old as her parents migrated back in India to Bhopal, she finished her school and college in Bhopal itself, and was attracted towards theater since her early childhood.  Acting brought her to Mumbai where she bagged many assignments in a short span of six months. She was introduced to the famous stage personality Janab Ehsaan Chishti, a famous director in theater in Bhopal. Says Arshi,  “Ehsaan ji thought that I have a attractive face and figure and if I try I can possibly make it as an actor.”  He used to instigate me, and it was at Ehsaan ji’s provocation that I started acting in various dramas in Bhopal city.  I started get offers for modeling, and that’s how got assignments for modeling for “Madame”, “Diesel Genes”, “Pepe Jeans”, “Agarwal  Jewelers” and many more.” She simultaneously got a break in a Tamil Film “Malli Mishtu” where she played the lead role opposite Tamil Star Naresh.

What is a 4D Film? 4D films combine a 3D film with additional physical effects that occur in a specially designed and constructed theater in synchronization with the film. 4D films are not actually four-dimensional in the geometric sense of the word. Because physical effects can be expensive to install, 4D films are most often presented in custom-built specialty theaters at special venues such as theme parks and amusement parks or malls. However, some movie theaters have the ability to present 4D versions of wide-release 3D films. The films Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008), and Avatar (2009) are among the films that have received a 4D treatment in certain theaters. Effects simulated in a 4D film may include rain, wind, strobe lights, and vibration. Seats in 4D venues may vibrate or move a few inches during the presentations. Other common chair effects include air jets, water sprays, and leg and back ticklers. Hall effects may include smoke, rain, lightning, air bubbles, and special smells or aromas.
