Bigg Boss 16: Ali Fazal demands Me Too accused Sajid Khan’s eviction from Salman Khan’s reality show
Sajid has been charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, including showing off his private parts at parties, demanding nude photos from female actors during the casting process, and watching porn in front of women.
Ever since Sajid Khan entered Bigg Boss 16, several women have come forward to share their experiences of being abused by Sajid Khan. The hashtag Evict Sajid Khan has been trending since then. The latest one to add to the list of demanding the removal of a filmmaker from the reality show is Bollywood actor Ali Fazal.
Ali Fazal took to social media and demanded the eviction of Me Too accused Sajid Khan from Salman Khan’s reality show. Resharing a post by an artist, Smisha Designs, on Instagram stories that show Sajid’s photo being lit on fire by a person with #MeToo written on her arm, the actor wrote, Evict Sajid Khan from Bigg Boss now.
Earlier television actors, Kamya Punjabi, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Sherlyn Chopra, Uorfi Javed, and singer Sona Mohapatra expressed their displeasure and sought the filmmaker’s eviction from the show.
Recounting the experience, Sherlyn Chopra wrote He had flashed his private part at me & asked me to rate it on a scale of 0 to 10. I’d like to enter the house of Bigg Boss and give him a rating! Let in watch how a survivor deals with her molester! Pls, take a stand! @BeingSalmanKhan.
Recently, Bhojpuri actor Rani Chatterjee accused the filmmaker of sexual harassment. She alleged that the Himmatwala director touched her inappropriately and also asked about her breast size, her relationship status, and the frequency of intercourse.
Uorfi Javed said Sajid Khan has never apologized to any of the girls he molested, preyed on, or did whatever. He has not even apologized to the nation. But on the other hand, he keeps defending his actions. He is not sorry for it but keeps defending what he did. What an ash***e, she added.

The search for India’s official Oscars 2024 submission has already started. According to a report, films like Gadar 2, Balagam, The Kerala Story by Vivek Agnihotri, Zwigato by Kapil Sharma, and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani by Karan Johar are among those being evaluated for India’s official entry to the Academy Awards.
According to a source, a 17-member committee led by director Girish Kasaravalli has been established and is now screening films in Chennai. This committee reportedly received over 22 submissions from all throughout India.
Some of the films that have been submitted to the Film Federation of India for Oscar consideration include Anant Mahadevan’s The Storyteller (Hindi), Music School (Hindi), Mrs Chatterjee vs. Norway (Hindi), 12th Fail (Hindi), Viduthalai Part 1 (Tamil), Ghoomer (Hindi), and Dasara (Telugu), as per reports.

Indian films won two Oscars earlier this year. At the 95th Academy Awards, the Naatu Naatu song from SS Rajamouli’s RRR won Best Original Song, and The Elephant Whisperers by Guneet Monga took home Best Documentary (Short Subject). Filmmakers are reportedly looking at a wide range of commercial, regional, as well as serious cinema from the country as a result of their new confidence as a result of this.
Last Film Show (Chhello Show), a Gujarati movie by Pan Nalin, was chosen as India’s official submission for the Best International Feature Film category at the 95th Academy Awards last year.

Jaane Jaan social media review: Kareena Kapoor OTT debut is a mix of Drishyam and Kahaani
Sujoy Gosh relied too heavily on the strength of his actors, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vijay Varma, and let them carry the entire movie on their shoulders without much concern for the plot.
It is challenging to surpass the standard that Sujoy Ghosh set for himself with the Vidya Balan-starring film Kahaani. And it’s clear in the majority of his later ventures where he took on the director’s role. With Jaane Jaan, the trailer foretold great things and made things appear to be quite exciting, but the movie only just manages to live up to the anticipation or even approach the intrigue level it set out to produce.
Jaideep Ahlawat’s first dream in Jaane Jaan is unmistakably grim. On the top left of the screen, there is a brief warning that appears as soon as the movie starts, warning you that it contains references to drug use, suicide, and domestic violence.
This warning, together with the nightmare of Jaideep’s character, quickly paints a clear image of what you are getting into. This is a Sujoy Ghosh film, after all.
Halfway through Jaane Jaan, everyone was convinced that even the director knew this wasn’t one of his best pieces. However, it’s possible that he relied too heavily on the strength of his actors, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vijay Varma, and let them carry the entire movie on their shoulders without much concern for the plot.
And these three give flawless performances, which are what keep Jaane Jaan from drowning. They give moviegoers with a rewarding experience when taken as a whole. Jaane Jaan would have been a fantastic viewing if I had to limit my attention to just watching them perform. However, the movie has a number of flaws that are difficult to overlook.
While people have few complaints about Ghosh’s commitment to his work as a director, Jaane Jaan clearly needs more pace, complexity, and nuance to hit you hard, which it never does, with the possible exception of one sequence concerning physical abuse.
Kareena Kapoor starrer Jaane Jaan is based on the best-selling Japanese novel The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino. An acclaimed book that has been translated into numerous languages and turned into films in South Korea, China, Japan, and even Tamil (‘Kolaigaran’).
