Rajev Paul speaks about re-entering Sasural Simar Ka.!

Rajev Paul who played the main antagonist Giriraj Oswal in Sasural Simar Ka had a grand re-entry tonight. His character had tried to kill his brother out of jealousy, in a bid to get the property and was sent to jail. In tonight’s episode the audiences saw Giriraj comeback to create further trouble for the entire family. Rajev shares, “What excited me the most was that just when you think this is over, the troublemaker, Giriraj is back. The team had mentioned that the comeback will be stronger and better but i won’t divulge much and would like to keep the surprise element alive and would want the audience to see it for themselves. My entry is on a bulldozer something unique, that you generally don’t get to see on television or even in movies. So if the start itself is so different then certainly the track beyond is going to be as much different and unexpected.” When asked if he was sceptical to re-enter the show, Rajev oe quick to reply, “No, I wasn’t sceptical at all. I know that the team of my show will do adequate justice to my character in terms of mileage, entry and the troubles I create in the show. I enjoy playing Giriraj as he is dark beyond imagination. This role gives me ample scope to perform and explore the darker side of human emotions. And I know when am back, things will be better and bigger than before.”

Ilm, world’s first NFT funded film, sees a grand premiere

Sunday, May 22 was a historic evening as stars and media gathered to celebrate the premiere of the world’s first NFT funded film, Ilm, a moving short following the relationship between an 11-year-old and his grandmother.

Actor Vishal Malhotra, who is still remembered for his work in Ishq Vishq, Jannat, Kismat Konnection and Salaam-e-Ishq, has turned director with the drama and also written it. Ilm’s premiere was attended by Vishal, who makes a special appearance in the film, co-star Suchitra Pillai and the rest of the cast. The grand launch was also attended by music composer Anu Malik, who shares a good rapport with Vishal.

While addressing the press at the premiere, Vishal Malhotra said that everyone present at the event was part of something “historic”. “This is a matter of pride for all of. It’s a big deal for us that the world is watching us with a magnifying glass through this film. In the US and other western countries, the use of NFT is quite advanced. But in India, it has happen only now and hence it’s an important development for us.”

Vishal also shared how this development would become a blue-print for aspiring filmmakers across the world as it makes the process of bringing one’s vision to life feasible.

“When earlier I had to make a film, I would take money from my family and friends, which would mean they could interfere in its making. So, I wouldn’t have been able to realise my vision. But with Ilm, all that was taken care of.”

Ilm will also release on a digital platform. Earlier in a press statement, Vishal had spoken about turning director with the film and the “responsibility” that the position of a filmmaker bears.

“It was a great experience to learn and understand how difficult it is to hold the torch of such a big responsibility. Directing a film is a very subjective thing as you are literally showing the audience how you see the world through your own lens. And the way I see ‘Ilm’ is that it involves happiness, grief, trauma, fear and struggle. And I hope to convey these feelings to the audience and wish that they will feel these emotions just as I did while I was directing it,” he had said.

India’s Sons a powerful documentary film showing stories of false rape case victims screened in Mumbai by Fempowerment Foundation.


April 22, Mumbai: Documentary film “India’s Sons” showing several stories where innocent men and boys were falsely accused of rape in India and later honourably acquitted, punished for years for a crime that they did not do, was screened at St. Andrews Auditorium on April 22. The film has been directed by Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj and Neeraj Kumar and produced by Shonee Kapoor. Mumbai Premiere was presented by Kiren Srivastav, Founder, Fempowerment Foundation, a women empowerment organization that aims to work towards women empowerment and strongly believes in Justice for all irrespective of Gender.
Justice B N Srikrishna, Former Judge of Supreme Court of India presided as the Chief Guest of the evening said “The film rightly shows how people are misusing laws for selfish motives for extortion, revenge. It is happening because attitude of police and judiciary isn’t objective. Justice for women should not come at cost of trampling upon others’ rights. I commend the efforts of the Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj and team India’s Sons for showing the other side of the misuse of rape laws. It is certainly something we need to discuss and consider as false cases take away the belief in the legal system of the real victims too.”
The film was received by a thundering applause at the event and a standing ovation by one and all present to watch the film.
Kiren Srivastav, Founder, Fempowerment Foundation said “As someone who champions rights of women and celebrates women achievers through the Fempowerment Awards, I am today ironically also supporting India’s Sons .Paradoxical as it may sound to many, I in fact feel these are two sides of the same coin. At a time when women are finally becoming powerful, it is also the right time to talk about the misuse of this power. For, I truly believe that with great power, also comes great responsibility. And not just because Spider-Man said it. But because, the world will soon need more than him – a Spider-Woman! And so we better get talking about both a woman’s power and a woman’s responsibility with that power, in the same breath.”
Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, Director of the film said “While we are all raising our voice for daughters, it’s time we also stand up for India’s Sons.”
About India’s Sons
Since the infamous “Nirbhaya” Gangrape case that happened in the heart of Delhi, India has been under the world’s eye for rising numbers of crimes against women. The horrific case led to various amendments in India’s rape laws, making laws stricter and punishments more severe than ever before. Burden of proof practically shifted on the accused and testimony of woman alone became sufficient for conviction. While the laws were strengthened to address menace of sexual assault posing threat to lives of innocent women and girls, a new problem seems to be spreading fast in the country posing threat to lives of innocent men and boys – that of false rape accusations.
India’s Sons documentary is a compelling compilation of shocking cases from across India that present a true picture of blatant abuse of rape laws. Whether it is story of Prince – a young boy who was just 18 when he was thrown behind bars in a false rape case and his struggle for five years to get his freedom back or a full-fledged racket that was running in Rajasthan where an organized racket comprising of High Court lawyers, women and police made crores by threatening rich men of false rape cases, the film takes you through several instance where many questions get raised on how is the law functioning. The film has been narrated by Actor Karan Oberoi. It presents well researched data from National Crime Records Bureau and various courts depicting the abuse of rape laws. The documentary specifically discusses that while number of reported cases have drastically increased, conviction rate has dwindled and acquittal rates gone up essentially due to false cases in India. Analysing data on rape on false promise of marriage cases (where a man allegedly refuses to marry a woman who he was in sexual relationship with by making promise of marriage) the documentary states that such cases have increased from 19% of total reported cases in 2015 to 45% of total reported cases in 2019. The film ends on a tragic note of case of Arvind Bharti, a young man from Delhi who ended life on a railway track after fighting with false accusations from his ex-wife for almost a decade.
