India’s #MeToo movement, which became a talking point lately with many women calling out their perpetrators, had stalled the shoot of many ongoing projects, with Fox Star Studios’ Kizie Aur Manny being one of them, as a struggling actress had accused its director Mukesh Chabbra of sexual misconduct.

Soon after the allegations came to light, Fox Star Studios acted promptly and suspended Chabbra, who was psyched up about making his directorial debut with the movie, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in lead roles.

However, the latest we hear that the production house did not find any pieces of evidence against Mukesh Chabbra in the investigation conducted independently by the Internal Complaints Committee of M/s Mukesh Chhabra Casting Company.

Since ICC does not have any evidence which proves that casting director-turned-filmmaker Chabbra tried to outrage the modesty of the struggling actress, he will continue as the director of Kizie Aur Manny.

The team is expected to resume the shoot soon.

For the uninitiated, Kizie Aur Manny is an official remake of Hollywood romantic tragicomedy The Fault In Our Stars (2014).

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024. The two reality stars were among the global celebrities who attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

During the episode, Kim shared that her connection to the Ambanis came through Lorraine Schwartz, a close friend and well-known jeweller. Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.

Deepika was the only person I could think of who carries the essence of what I believe in: tradition, modernity, and a certain quiet strength that speaks for India on a global stage.”

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.
