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.

Big B Face criticism for gun under pillow blog

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who on his blog on Wednesday night wrote that he was sleeping with a gun under his pillow, has been getting negative press in the media because of this.

Many of Big B’s blog readers also taunted the legend about this. "It is a pity that the ‘intellectual media’ portrays the incident of the gun under my pillow as one of ridicule and mirth," Bachchan wrote.

The Indian media is not happy with Big B for promoting guns and for stating that he had loss complete faith in the system. To this, Amitabh has responded, saying, “"The act of pulling out my revolver is a symbolic metaphor, a figure of speech, to demonstrate my complete loss of faith in the system and in the governance, in providing me, a citizen of India, with my rightful sense of security."

This was Big B’s initial blog entry on Thursday night: “Last night, as the events of the terror attack unfolded in front of me I did something for the first time and one that I hoped never ever to be in a situation to do. Before retiring for the night, I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow. For a very disturbed sleep."

Hitting out at his critics, the actor said "I keep my security according to my own assessment of my vulnerability. When you will wear my shoes, and I do hope that you do one day, you shall also be subjected to the kind of vulnerability that I and many others like me face each day. Perhaps then you would be better placed to appreciate the hollowness of your accusation," he said.

Tragedy with Aashish Chaudhary in mumbai attack

Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to everyone who has lost a loved one in the shocking and tragic events that have unfolded in Mumbai over the last few days.

His sister Monica Chhabria and her husband had arrived at the Tiffin Restaurant at the Trident-Oberoi for dinner before being caught up in the horror of the evening. It is believed they were killed when the restaurant was randomly sprayed with bullets.

Whilst the despair shown in the television images of Aashish Chaudhary was repeated throughout the city and elsewhere hundreds of times over, it somehow seems more personal as he is known to us, albeit remotely, through his performances in movies such as Qayamat, Girlfriend and most recently EMI.

The causes of this tragedy run deep and varied and now is not the time to discuss them or to jump to irrational, thoughtless or unprincipled conclusions. Now is simply the time to recognise and share in the grief of those that have suffered.


Aashish maintained a vigil throughout the subsequent events, knowing that his sister was inside. As the bodies were later removed from the restaurant, he had to endure the duty of identifying his sister and brother-in-law.

Among the many people who are awaiting the release of their family members from the clutches of the terrorists here is Bollywood actor Ashish Chaudhary, whose sister and brother-in-law are held hostage at the Oberoi Trident Hotel.

"My parents have been here since last night and when we last heard from them, they told us that they have seen two terrorists and have heard a lot of gun shots. I didn't come at night fearing there will be panic, but since morning I have been standing here, waiting for them to be released," he added.

"My sister Monica and her husband have been inside the hotel along with maybe 40 other hostages. They came here for dinner last night, but now they are not answering any calls," he told a news channel on Thursday.

Ashish, who was recently seen in the film EMI, is worried since he is unable to get any information on his sister and her husband's well being. He added though the situation seems calm, "it must be tough inside".

Mumbai saw an audacious terror attack where terrorists went on the rampage, killing at least 101 people and injuring over 250 since Wednesday night. On target were high profile landmarks, including the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel, Oberoi Trident Hotel, Metro Theatre and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus) railway station.
