Sakti kapoor misbehave with Nepali actress Rekha Thapa

Indian actor Shakti Kapoor has shown his truenature in Nepal by misbehaving with Nepali actress Rekha Thapa," a Nepali tabloid Wednesday said in a front-page report.

According to the report, the Bollywood actor asked Thapa during shooting if she had a bottle of Coke with her. When she said she was not sure, the actor reportedly used an abusive word and tried to grab her hand.

The Naya Patrika daily, known for its sensational reports, said that while shooting for a Bhojpuri film, "Hum Hai Hero Hindustani" in Birgunj town in south Nepal, the 52-year-old actor, famous for his portrayal of a plotting, lascivious villain, had used a derogatory word about heroine Thapa and also tried to grab her hand.

When Thapa protested angrily and an altercation broke out between the two, another Indian actor who is also cast in the film, telestar Shahbaz Khan, reportedly tried to intervene.

The director, who decided to rope in Kapoor for his third venture, that will also be released as "Mrityu Danda" dubbed in Nepali, said there was no disruption in shooting.

Ekta back in bollywood with Once Upon a Time In Mumbai

For those who think Ekta Kapoor has been hit hard by the termination and debacle of some of her serials, think again! Ekta is all set to produce a string of mega budget films, beginning with Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time In Mumbai.

A source close to the production house said, “When Ekta heard the set was going to cost Rs 8.5 crore she was slightly hesitant. But when she saw the design of the set she agreed immediately.”

Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi as Haji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim respectively. Art director Nitin Desai will be constructing a set costing Rs 8.5 crore at his studio in Karjat.

Why was Ekta lying low when accusations were hurled at her? Ekta replied, “Have I been lying low? If I have it’s because that’s what I wanted to do. Do you really think I care about what my well-wishers would think about me? Anyways, I don't think I owe an explanation to anyone, except my parents, my company and myself.

If I’ve chosen to remain quiet it’s because I didn’t want to talk about my plans until I was ready to hit the road. Now we are all set to start Once Upon A Time In Mumbai.”

Telugu film actress Bargavi dead live-in partner Praveen commit suicide

Telugu film actress Bhargavi, who was found dead with her live-in partner in her apartment here on Tuesday, died of stab injuries, according to the autopsy report.

The reoport confirmed the police claim that her live-in partner Praveen had stabbed her to death before committing suicide by consuming poison. The report of the autopsy, conducted at the Gandhi Hospital on Wednesday, said she was stabbed in the heart and other other parts of the body, resulting in her death. The doctors reported that the murder took place between 4 and 6am.

However, Praveen also said in the suicide note that he married Bhargavi in 2006 but they were living separately. The note said he killed her because she had started neglecting him after her successful debut film. Bhargavi's parents have denied that she ever married Praveen.

Bhargavi, who shot to fame recently with her debut movie "Ashta Chemma", was found murdered in her flat in upscale Banjara Hills locality. The police also found a suicide note, purportedly written by Praveen, which said: "We have decided to commit suicide since her mother is not allowing us to meet."

She had started her career as a stage singer in Praveen's Sai Baba orchestra in Nellore district and later became an anchor in a television channel. She also acted in a TV serial. She was shooting for her second film "Holidays". According to film industry sources, she was working in 10 films.

Her murder has revived the memory of the mysterious death of another budding actress, Pratyusha, in 2002. Pratyusha and her lover had allegedly committed suicide as their parents were against their alliance. Though the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) declared it to be a case of suicide, her mother still maintains that she was murdered.
