Fashion model and actress Kristna Saika accuses producer of humiliation

By Flynn Remedios (c) Futuristic Media Network

Fashion and art model and actress Kristna Saika has accused the production house Cine Centre and its producer Prakash Shetty of ill-treating her during the shooting of the film Molly in Bangalore last week. The film is directed by Rajiv Gupta, who is also an editor and had last edited the film ‘Shortcut’. Molly is Rajiv Gupta’s debut film.

Apparently according to Kristna Saika, she was put up in a dirty house and made to eat stale food. Her colleague and herself were not provided with warm water for bathing and were inconvenienced in every little way. They were not picked up from the airport when they landed in Bangalore and had to do everything on their own. No facilities were extended to them that are normally provided to cine stars and models.

The production house has denied all these allegations, saying that Kristna is just making a mountain of a mole hill and using the issue as a publicity stunt.


However, Kristna has produced a medical certificate claiming that she had to take a flight back – with her own money – to Mumbai when she fell ill due to the shoddy food and lodging conditions. She has undergone medical treatment for throat infection, stomach poisoning and various other related ailments.

Kristna has complained to the IMPAA – the association of film producers – a claim that is countered by the producer who says that it was he who first approached IMPAA after the actress walked out of his film without informing him and left for Mumbai.

EXCLUSIVE: KRISHIKA GUPTA GROPED BY WOMEN IN A DISCO AT 5- STAR HOTEL IN MUMBAI

By Shree Devi © Futuristic Media Network

Actress Krrishika Gupta of the Neetu Chandra-The Man magazine photo shoot fame is very upset, angry and is actually tearing out her hair. Thanks to the erotic cover photo shoot, she has been labeled as a lesbian by most of her friends. In fact, so acute is the problem that her male friends are wary of letting their girl friends go alone with her, fearing that she may make a pass at them.

The icing on the cake was when she went to a disco at a 5-star hotel at Juhu in suburban Mumbai on Sunday. As she was enjoying herself on the dance floor, two women who seemed to be drunk surrounded her and began groping her. They pawed her, said vulgar things about the photo shoot and even tried to push their hands into her skirt. Krrishika had to slap one of them and get away.

According to Krrishika’s publicist Flynn Remedios, who has sent a written complaint to the hotel’s management, the women almost confined Krrishika between them for a full five minutes. “Krrishika didn’t want to raise a stink and somehow managed to get away, but not before the women had royally molested and groped her,” said Flynn Remedios.

In fact, the women first bumped into her at the bar, when she went to get herself a can of a popular energy drink. The women who were drinking at the bar noticed Krrishika who was wearing a short mini skirt and a tight top.

Says Krrishika, “When they say me, they looked at each other and sort of smiled. The taller well-built woman who didn’t seem to be Indian – she was fair-skinned and spoke with an accent – asked her if she was the same model who was in a lesbian photo shoot with an actress. Initially Krrishika didn’t suspect anything wrong and answered them in the affirmative. As she took her energy drink and went back to the dance floor, the women – in their late 20s followed her.

A furious Krrishika said that there should be a law against molestation of a person by another person of the same sex.

During the time of the photo shoot controversy, Krrishika got almost 200 SMS messages from her friends and contacts in the industry actually asking her if she ‘had turned lesbian’. Says Krrishika, “I am not at all lesbian from any angle. I am a normal heterosexual and I even sort of like someone, but I am currently not dating any one. Sex is the last thing on my mind as I am concentrating on my work.”

Krrishika’s publicist Flynn Remedios gets about 2-3 enquries from media persons each day with regard to lesbian or gay related themes. “During the recent gay controversy, several media persons called me to ask if Krrishika Gupta would like to speak on the subject as she had done a lesbian shoot,” says Remedios, explaining that he had a tough time telling media persons that Krrishika Gupta was NOT lesbian at all.

We hear that Krrishika Gupta has been approached by Spectra Multimedia Films to do a special film. Spectra Multimedia has launched about ten film projects and one of them is a film that’s based on the love triangle between Shahid Kapoor, Kareena and Saif Ali Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan detained, humiliated at Newark Airport in USA

By Flynn Remedios (c) Futuristic Media Network

International icon and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was detained, humiliated and subjected to unnecessary questioning at the Newark Airport in the USA. He was only released when the Indian Embassy in the US intervened. SRK as he is popularly known told News Agency PTI that he felt angry and humiliated. According to SRK, he has a very common Muslim surname and it was not surprising that his surname should crop up on the US immigration computers.

Meanwhile the Indian Government, stung by the ‘national disgrace’ has asked the US to explain why SRK was allegedly detained for two hours at Newark airport, close to New York.

Shah Rukh Khan was in the US to promote a film on racial profiling. Many other Bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and others are expected to attend the promotions.

US customs and immigration officials denied that Mr Khan had been detained, saying he was questioned for 66 minutes, which is routine and should not be made out as an exception.

According to the BBC and other reports, Elmer Camacho, a spokesman for the US Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, said the questioning was part of the agency's routine process to screen foreign travellers.

The US ambassador to India, Timothy Roehmer, said the embassy was looking into Mr Khan's case. Speaking in Delhi, Mr Roehmer said: "Shah Rukh Khan, the actor and global icon, is a very welcome guest in the United States. Many Americans love his films." He said the embassy was trying to "ascertain the facts of the case - to understand what took place".

Shah Rukh Khan, 44, earlier told the Press Trust of India news agency he had been detained by immigration officials at Newark airport because his name came up on a computer check list.

He told the agency that he had been released after he was allowed to message a politician in India, who contacted the Indian embassy in Washington on his behalf.

SRK was on his way from New York to Chicago to attend an Indian Independence Day celebration when he was stopped at Newark airport in the state of New Jersey.

Last month, America's Continental Airlines apologised to APJ Abdul Kalam amid outrage in India when it emerged that the former Indian president had been frisked and made to remove his shoes at Delhi airport in April. The airline said in a statement that it had not intended to offend Mr Kalam or the sentiments of the people of India.

Bollywood’s very own Angelina Jolie aka Aaliyah was mobbed at Infinity Mall at Lokhandwala in the suburb of Andheri in Mumbai on Wednesday late evening. According to an eye-witness, Aaliyah was doing some shopping at Infinity Mall at around 9 pm when some teenagers saw her and recognised her from the several hoardings that have sprung up all over Mumbai, heralding the launch of her debut music album and video titled AALIYAH. To make matters worse for teenage sensation Aaliyah, her music video promos are on air and a popular radio station was running a recorded interview with her when the incident happened.

The teenagers numbering about a dozen noticed her at the Food Court and raised a ruckus saying that a Bollywood actress had come to Infinity Mall. Within moments, Aaliyah and her friend were surrounded by almost two dozen teenagers as well as older youth, who just would not let her go. They demanded that she click photographs and sign autographs.

Aaliyah was gheraoed for about 20 minutes till she obliged the entire crowd with photos and autographs. Fortunately, before the situation could get out of hand, with the help of some elders amongst the crowd Aaliyah and her friend managed to escape.

A frightened, but also partly amused Aaaliyah later told this journalist that she never expected that the crowd would recognise her. “Though my video is on air on several channels and my promos are on almost every other news and entertainment channel, it was the hoardings in the vicinity of Lokhandwala that the crowd seemed to be taken in by.”

The sexy, curvaceous Aaliyah with a body worth killing for, has a striking resemblance to Hollywood diva Angelina Jolie. Her face, nose, lips and pout are an exact replica of Angelina Jolie. She is also an ardent Angelina Jolie fan and some day aspires to be a great actress like her. Her debut music album AALIYAH has just been released with the titled track Woh Haseen Dard De Do which has been picturised as a music video.

The 21-year –old brims with energy and enthusiasm as she talks about her new album. The lyrics that have been sung by Pamela Jain have a very energetic feel and beat and the peerless DJ Shezwood has done a great job on the music. The catchy beat has a rhythmic foot-tapping dance feel and is yet soothing on the ears. A fitness freak, she works out for about two hours daily to get the body that most girls would give their right arm for.

Born and brought up in Mumbai, Aaliyah studied at a college in Malad graduating in Commerce. Acting was always her first love and she joined Kishore Namit Kapoor’s Academy where she did a comprehensive acting course. She also learnt dancing and is a professional Indian and western classical dancer. She is familiar with several Indian and western dance forms like Salsa, Bharat Natayam, Kathkali, Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango to name a few. Aaliyah has also learnt sword fighting, Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, and is a great Yoga enthusiast.

AALIYAH is produced by Kerry Entertainment. The tracks have been remixed by DJ Shezwood and the video was choreographed and directed by Stanley Dsouza.
