Priyadarshini Singh: Publicity ke liye kuch bhi karaga – Raja Chaudhary ko banaya bakra

By Suparna Seth – Futuristic Media Network (editor (dot) futuristicmedia (@) gmail (dot) com)

Priyadarshini Singh the wannabe starlet who tried her level best to hook Rahul Mahajan in Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega told one of her friends in Mumbai “Publicity ke liye kuch bhi karaga” before she left for Argentina for the shoot of the Endemol India-produced show on Imagine – Wiipe Out. And sure enough her lived up to her words. She slapped none other than Raja Chaudhary who has got a reputation for beating be it his ex-wife or girl friend. Apparently, when Priyadarshini Singh realised that Raja Chaudhary was drunk at the airport and was behaving erratically, she seized upon the opportunity to get into a confrontation with the hot-headed Bhojpuri actor and producer. She began to prod him and answer back to all that a fully drunk Raja had to say. “She was trying hard to confront Raja and pick up a fight with him. According to a member of the group who is also participating in the same show and who was an eye witness to the incident, Priyadarshini didn’t everything possible to irritate Raja Chaudhary. Initially Raja ignored her and went on with his generic ranting about the other passengers around them who were starring at the group. Raja was particularly irritated with the stares he was getting from the fellow passengers in the waiting area of the airport and was generally cursing them under his breath.

Priyadarshini Singh – herself on the lookout for an opportunity to hit the headlines once again – accosted Raja as though the other passengers were her brothers and sisters. Raja in turn let her have some of the choicest Bambaiya ‘gallies’ in three languages – Hindi, English and Bhojpuri.

This infuriated Priyadarshani Singh who hit back at Raja with equal vengeance anger. But when Raja wouldn’t stop his tirade of expletives, she slapped him real hard, say eye-witnesses at the airport. According to our sources the incident took place at the airport between 3.30 am and 4 am. Priyadarshani even walked up to the CISF personnel on duty at the airport in an obvious attempt to file a complaint against Raja. Like most wannabes and unknown starlets seeking their 11 seconds of fame on the boob tube, she wouldn’t want to let go of an opportunity to hit the headlines on every news channel by filing a police complaint against her tormentor.

Raja Chaudhary was saved when Endemol India officials accompanying the participants intervened and broke up the fight. They had a tough time convincing Priyadarshini Singh not to talk to the police, but a veiled threat of disqualification from the show did the trick and Raja was saved by the skin of his neck.

Yana Gupta turns down Rs One Crore offer to pose nude

Yana Gupta who has sort-off gone underground refusing to further comment on her wardrobe malfunction or speak to journalists and give interviews on the issue has also turned down a big offer to pose nude for a British men’s magazine. While no official confirmation was available and Yana Gupta or her managers refused to comment on this issue on record, it seems that Yana seems to be in no mood to at least immediately accept the offer. A source said, “Yana has shown no interest in the offer and neither she or her managers responded to queries or emails regarding the same.”

Since last week, since the news of her no-panty stunt broke, Yana Gupta is probably more searched on the internet than Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone put together. According to Google Trends, Yana is more searched than other top five Bollywood actresses on the internet put together. She has got millions of search queries in the last one week, a ten-million jump in search queries over the last one year. Given the wide reach of the Indian entertainment media, Yana Gupta’s search queries come from all over the world, not just India.

Meanwhile a new no panty video which is more brazen, bold and uncensored has made its appearance on the internet. The video can be viewed at:

Bigg Boss 4: WWE champ Khali a guest for a few days in Bigg Boss house

By Flynn Remedios – Futuristic Media Network

The WWE champion, also known as The Great Khali who entered the Bigg Boss 4 house (Reality Show aired on Colours) amidst much fanfare and media hype may not stay in the Bigg Boss house for very long. According to our sources, Khali has been brought in as a wild card entry to combat the negativity and criticism centered around the show due to the presence of two Pakistani citizens. Khali’s stay is for a limited period and he may leave the house (on some pretext or the other) in about a week to ten days, we were told. Bigg Boss may or may not mention the fact that Khali is just a temporary guest at the time of his exit. Instead, a situation may be created wherein Khali has to leave the house, making it sound like a normal exit due to personal reasons.

Meanwhile, the WWE champ, Khali entered the Bigg Boss 4 house on Saturday. He was provided with a special break fast by the Bigg Boss, which included extra milk and 20 pieces of eggs.

The champ entered the house with great pomp. Rahul Bhatt a great fan of the WWE champ couldn't believe his eyes after seeing The Great Khali. While the other inmates were horrified with the huge mans entry, Rahul was more than happy to see his idol in front of him.

Rahul introduced him to all the members of the house and helped him to get familiar with the environment. Rahul seemed to know everything about Mahabali Khali. Khali was also impressed with Rahul's fitness and complimented him for it. Rahul also got a chance to exercise with his idol.

Khali was a sub-inspector in Punjab and later on became a superstar in the world of WWE. He has however not forgotten his humble roots and is down-to-earth and very modest.

Meanwhile, Khali is having all kinds of problems adjusting to the difficulties inside the house. One major problem that he faced was with the gym equipment inside the house. Apparently, the equipment inside the Bigg Boss house was just not what he was used to. So, when Salman Khan, the host of the show, learnt about his plight, he immediately ordered his personal gym equipment which was at at his farmhouse to be shifted there.

Shradha Sharma-Raja Chaudhary split?

By Flynn Remedios – Futuristic Media Network

Apparently Shradha Sharma and Raja Chaudhary have split up? In an exclusive interview to this journalist, Shradha Sharma said, “I have broken up with Raja Chaudhary, I am single again. Right now I am now concentrating on my work.”

While Shradha Sharma did not mention the reason for her break-up with Raja Chaudhary, close friends of the couple say that Shradha felt that Raja Chaudhary still had feelings for his ex-wife and mother of his 9-year-old daughter Shweta Tiwari. Shradha Sharma and Raja Chaudhary who have been in a relationship for over a year, split up a few months ago when Raja was caught two-timing Shradha by the popular Reality Show Emotional Attyachaar on UTV Bindass. At that time, Raja Chaudhary profusely apologised to Shradha and promised her that he would never cheat on him again. An emotional Shradha Sharma forgave Raja Chaudhary and the couple were seen together again. This time Shradha Sharma says the break-up is for good.

“I do not want Raja in my life again,” Shradha said. “I want to only do some good work and I am concentrating on my stage shows and films,” she added.

Bigg Boss 4 Exclusive: Khali gets special food secretly in the confession room

By Flynn Remedios – Futuristic Media Network


Well Bigg Boss has several cameras inside the Bigg Boss house. But we have our secret spy cams too.... and what did we see in our secret camera feed this morning. The great Khali is being fed separately in the confession room. He is also provided with protein shakes, protein supplements and loads of other goodies like chicken, eggs, milk etc to meet his dietary requirements. According to our special Bigg Boss correspondent, embedded right inside the Bigg Boss house, Khali is fed a couple of times a day and that footage is either not available or the cameras are switched off or the footage if available is not aired.

Our sources also tell us that Khali has a special contract with Bigg Boss which permits him to come out of the house secretly and even exercise or do medical checkups to ensure his body is fighting fit.


We had earlier reported that WWE champion, also known as The Great Khali who entered the Bigg Boss 4 house (Reality Show aired on Colours) amidst much fanfare and media hype is being paid about Rs 40 lakh per week or approximately Rs 5 lakh each day he stays in the Bigg Boss house, making him the highest paid Bigg Boss inmate till date in the history of the popular TV Reality Show in India. While Colours or Endemol would not officially confirm these figures, sources within the channel said that Khali was making close to Rs 40 to Rs 50 lakh per week. He was given a down payment of Rs 50 lakh which is over and over the weekly payment.


Participants or inmates are normally paid an upfront amount or a signing amount and then they are paid additionally per week they survive in the Bigg Boss house. The signing amount ranges from Rs 2 to Rs 25 lakh depending on the popularity and market rate of the individual. The weekly payment ranges from Rs one lakh to Rs 3 lakh per week, say sources and can go up to Rs 5 lakh per week for certain individuals like Manoj Tiwari or Shweta Tiwari.


However, Khali may not stay in the Bigg Boss house for very long. According to our sources, Khali has been brought in as a wild card entry to combat the negativity and criticism centered around the show due to the presence of two Pakistani citizens. Khali’s stay is for a limited period and he may leave the house (on some pretext or the other) in about a week to ten days, we were told. Bigg Boss may or may not mention the fact that Khali is just a temporary guest at the time of his exit. Instead, a situation may be created wherein Khali has to leave the house, making it sound like a normal exit due to personal reasons.

Bigg Boss 3 better, funnier than Bigg Boss 4, says India

By Ashish S – Futuristic Media Network


What’s gone wrong with my favourite TV Channel Colours and my favourite TV show Bigg Boss this season, asked 21-year-old racing enthusiast Ravi Shetty. Like Ravi, thousands of Indians are asking probably the same question. While Salman Khan, aka Chulbul Pandey has done his best, something definitely seems to be lacking in Bigg Boss 4, reveal results of a snap telephonic poll conducted by content syndication firm Futuristic Media Network. Most Indians polled said they preferred the Big B and the inmates in Bigg Boss 3 as compared to the inmates this season. The poll was conducted by asking about 5000 random youth across the country for their feedback.


Says Editor of Futuristic Media Network and media analyst, Flynn Remedios, “After watching Big B, Amitabh Bachchan’s charismatic and dignified role as host of Bigg Boss 3, most Indians were expecting much much more in Bigg Boss 4. The expectation levels were further fuelled by the PR Blitz unleashed by the channel Colours in the days preceding the show. There were reports of Rajesh Khanna, Pamela Anderson, Shiney Ahuja, Neetu Chandra and several other big names as inmates of the house. However, what actually happened turned out to be much less than expected. We were left with a motley bunch of chors, dakus and a psycho who used filthy, abusive language on the first day in the house and had to be thrown out.”


“Last year, international model Claudia Ciesla (co-incidentally introduced to Bigg Boss 3 by Flynn Remedios) brought in the phirang and oomph element as well as added to the entertainment factor with her sometimes quixotic attempts at speaking and learning Hindi. Then there were stalwarts like comedian Raju Srivastava, Poonam Dhillon and Vindu Dara Singh who had a great fan-base and fan following both in rural and urban India. Sometimes I feel Salman Khan though brilliant, lacks the charisma and global appeal that the Big B brought to the previous season.”


Salman Khan is a super star, Big B is an enigma. His voice as host, during the last season was enough to send a shiver down most spines and inspire awe and admiration, while Sallu bhai’s voice though entertaining and funny is not awe inspiring. While Salman can definitely do really well in a movie like Dabaang or Wanted, Bigg Boss is not a movie. Reality TV on the small screen is very different from a cinemascope presentation. Besides Big B had a great fan following among the older audiences as well, opines Flynn Remedios, analysing the results of the poll.

Bigg Boss 4: Clairvoyant Flintoff Mintoff says after Begum Nawazish Ali, Veena Malik will be out of Bigg Boss House.

By Flynn Remedios – Futuristic Media Network


Now that cross dresser Saleem Ali, also known as Begum Nawazish Ali is out of the Bigg Boss house, our in-house Astrologer, Tarot Reader, Feng-Shui expert, Numerologist and clairvoyant-par-excellence Flintoff Mintoff has predicted that Veena Malik will be the next inmate to be evicted out of the Bigg Boss House.

For some reason, if there is no nomination or eviction this week or by some twist of fate, if Pakistani actress Veena Malik survives one more week, she is definitely going to be evicted the following week, pontificated Mintoff.

As reported earlier, according to a very senior official from the very-popular GEC Colours, the two Pakistani inmates Veena Mallik and Begum Nawazish Ali are likely to be eased out of the Bigg Boss, Season 4 house in the next 2-3 weeks. This is part of a top-secret pact worked out between Colours channel and the Shiv Sena leadership in Mumbai.

According to our reliable and confidential sources within the channel, the GEC Colours has assured the top Shiv Sena leadership that they didn’t mean any harm or were not being unpatriotic in any way. Instead they wanted to create hype and buzz nationwide about the coming season of Bigg Boss 4, including the non-Hindi speaking belt in the south. This was only possible with some ingenious controversy which would give them the required media space in regional and national news papers. So the two Pakistani citizens were roped in. When the Shiv Sena blocked out the channel Colours in Mumbai, using its muscle power with its own distributors and cable operators affiliated to unions controlled by the Shiv Sena, pressure from advertisers like Vodafone, etc., forced Colours to come to the negotiating table. Since the Shiv Sena would not accept anything short of throwing out the Pakistanis, the channel asked the Sena bosses for some time to do it the natural way and hence save face and possible litigation and compensation complaints from the ousted participants.

Accordingly it was secretly agreed between the Sena top bosses and Colours that the Pakistanis would be eased out in the next two weeks. After an assurance was given by the Channel to this effect, the agitation was called off and the block was lifted.

The Bigg Boss creative team will modify the script, change the rules of the game without appearing to do so, or find creative and natural-like means to evict both the Pakistani citizens, so that it looks like they were evicted through a fair and normal voting process. The trick would be to nominate Veena Malik along with two strong Indian inmates. The two Indian inmates like Shweta Tiwari or Manoj Tiwari or Ashmit Patel, etc will have a strong fan-following ensuring that they get enough votes through the SMS voting system to save them from eviction, leaving the lone Pakistani inmate to get kicked out.

Well, well we didn’t say this. This is not our opinion or theory. We are not alleging that spot fixing or outcome fixing or whatever happens in Bigg Boss or any other Reality Shows. We know that such reality shows are audited by international consulting firms and adhere to the strictest norms of impartiality. We are just telling you what clairvoyant and Tarot Reader Flintoff Mintoff has predicted. Tsk... Tsk...

Playboy photographer offers actress Neeshaa Singh Rs 3-crore for nude photo shoot

By Frank Franklyn – Futuristic Media Network


Hold your breath guys. South siren, actress Neeeshaa Singh has just been offered a whooping Rs 3-crore by an Australian photographer - who claims he is affiliated with the international adult men’s magazine Playboy – for a nude photo shoot. According to actress Neeshaa Singh’s publicist and manager, Flynn Remedios, the photographer Clement Andrew Martins contacted Neeshaa Singh via Facebook, claiming that he was an international photographer and on special assignments and glamour and hi-fashion shoots for several sophisticated men’s magazines including GQ International, Playboy and also publications like People, Newsweek and USA Today. He said he would be interested in working with Neeshaa Singh for an international men’s magazine.

“We were of course intrigued and asked him to email us more details. He wrote back saying the shoot he was talking about would be for Playboy and would be shot in Europe over a span of one week. He also claimed that his agency would be willing to pay the equivalent of Rs 3-crore for a full-frontal nude shoot for the centrespread plus all expenses and travel and stay,” informs Remedios.

We first thought it was a joke and some friend or acquaintance was pulling a prank on us, says Remedios. However, when we asked him for his contact details, specifying that he should give us his website address and his landline telephone number, to our amazement, he did provide us with the details he asked for and the same turned out to be correct. A woman answered our calls and claimed that the number belonged to Martins. Other details provided also seemed to work out right.

Meanwhile the sexy Neeshaa Singh has not yet decided if she is doing the shoot or not. “We are still verifying if the entire thing is a hoax and will decide about the shoot only after that,” explained Remedios.

CITIZENS ACTION FORUM APPOINTS RITUU SACHDEV AS SPOKESPERSON FOR ITS CLEAN-N-GREEN MUMBAI CAMPAIGN

Mumbai, Saturday 11 September 2010: The Citizens Action Forum (CAF) - a social service forum (NGO application pending) has announced a special activity campaign to spread awareness about the need for a clean-n-green Mumbai during the festive season beginning with the Ganesh Chaturti festival. The campaign will continue for three months and cover four major festivals in Maharashtra including Ganesh Chaturti, Navratri, Dussera and Diwali. The objective of this campaign is to make the general public aware of the dangers and harmful effects of noise, water, air and food pollution on the environment in general, which to an extent increases during the festive season.

The Citizens Action Forum has appointed model and actress Rituu Sachdev as their spokesperson and face of the campaign. The campaign will include activity like street plays, rallies, road shows, screening of documentary films and other mass media activity. Rituu Sachdev has completed two films in the south (one in Tamil and another in Kannada) of which the Kannada film Srimoksha released to a good response in June this year. She has done several print and television advertisement campaigns and is a known face on the modeling circuit. Rituu has also featured in the Venus Music-released music videos Rahbar and Chahat sung by Alka Yagnik. She has signed on a couple of other film projects including a popular Reality Show on a mainline entertainment channel.

Says Rituu Sachdev, “While we all enjoy celebrating festivals like Ganesh Chaturti and Diwali, certain environmental factors that affect our climate cannot be ignored. For example paints used in making statues could contain harmful arsenic, mercury and lead. The statues are at times made of non-bio-degradable material including plastic, which when immersed into water (sea, lakes, ponds and rivers) does not bio-degrade but stays in the ecosystem and harms the environment. Noise pollution during festivals is dangerous for senior citizens and even children. Excessive use of crackers and fireworks also adds to air pollution.”

Several celebrities, actors, sportspersons, professionals and other prominent citizens are expected to join the activities planned as part of the campaign.

The Citizens Action Forum invites all Mumbaikars to support this campaign in every possible way.

Fashion Designer Umair Zafar promotes craftsmen and tailors at his fashion show

“The difference between style and fashion is quality” - Giorgio Armani



Here’s an all new look at fashion fused with style. Glamourous India presents the Fashionista Tour to Mumbai with the skillful designs of Mumbai based Bollywood fashion designer Umair Zafar to present a gala fashion event at Renaissance Federation Club.


Glamourous India, is one of the leaders in the Advertising and Internet Development Industry, simultaneously delivering creative and breakthrough strategies customized for each event. Whereas, Fashionista, the school of fashion technology is organising the fashion show.


In association with Mumbai based designer Umair Zafar, he is a celebrity faculty for Fashionista, as the school is planning to open up a center in Mumbai soon.

A few of the students from Fashionista will show case their designs at the show.

Delhi based designers like Kamal lakhwani will showcase his Men’s Wear collection, Khalid & Sheerin will also stun the ramp with their creative ensemble.

Umair Zafar says, “I consider it a social responsibility to give back to the society what I take from it.” We have had fashion events to support many noble causes but I realized that we forget to look inside our own homes. Our craftsmen are a very talented lot, but I guess they don’t get their worth. So I thought why not promote a cause close to home and to my heart."

He further mentions all the troubles they go through. He says, “When the designs are shown at any event, it is the fashion designer who is in the limelight and the efforts of these craftsmen go unnoticed. Their efforts get neither the recognition nor the proper value that they deserve. It is time they were made to feel as special as they and their talent really are. As it is because f these extremely gifted people that we designers have become what we are. They play a major role in transforming our visions and our designs into the end product that is presented to the people....”

Umair has designed the grand finale for the show and is very exited about it. He says, “The whole show put together looks amazing. It has clothes for people from every genre. It’s got Bollywood, casual, haute couture and bridal collections."

Shradha Sharma says YES to Playboy. To pose nude for Centrespread??

While most other Indian item girls and models develop cold feet and back out - after they have got the first round of publicity by claiming that they were approached by Playboy magazine or some other “non-existant” representative or photograher whose ‘name they can’t remember’ – our very own Shradha Sharma is sticking to her guns. After a report first appeared that Shradha Sharma has been approached to pose for the Asian edition of Playboy, the spunky girl has stuck to her guns. Unlike the others who eventually back off and say they won’t pose nude keeping in mind Indian tradtions, customs, blah blah blah, Shradha has the guts to say she ‘really wants to do it’.

Just back from a film shoot in Malaysia, in an interview to TV channel News24 and E24, Shradha Sharma asserted, “I have no problems shooting for Playboy. It is an international magazine and the shoot will give me a lot of international exposure. Many well-known Hollywood actresses, super models, singers, sports women and even women in politics have posed for the magazine. Playboy ke liye kuch bhi karega,” she added jokingly.

When asked how will it affect her career in India, as India is still a conservative country when it comes to Playboy and the magazine is officially banned in India, Shradha says, “As such Playboy magazine is not available in India, so the question of offending Indian sentiments doesn’t arise.

Most Playboy models are paid about $ 50,000 or about Rs 2.3 lakh per shoot while the Playmate of the Year gets about Rs 60 to Rs 75 lakh for the Annual Special.We wonder how much Shradha Sharma would be paid for this shoot? Her manager Flynn Remedios refused to give any details about the payment but confirmed that the shoot is on. The high-voltage shoot is likely to happen somewhere abroad on an outdoor location but neither her manager, nor Shradha Sharma would reveal the details of the location of the shoot.

Shradha Sharma is in all probability all set to join the select group of the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Kim Basinger, Janet Jones, Drew Barrymore, Amanda Beard, Samantha Fox and the more recent alleged mistress of Tiger Woods – Rachel Uchitel in adorning the covers and centre spread of Playboy magazine. If sources are to be believed, Shradha Sharma has been approached by an international photographer to shoot for the cover and centre spread of Playboy magazine Asian edition.

SHRADHA SHARMA: "SHWETA TIWARI WAS SLEEPING AROUND AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT"

battle royale erupts as Television's leading ladies go for each other in a devil-may-dare rip-off...

The sexy yet cute actress Shradha Sharma who was last seen on the Reality Show Emotional Atyachaar with her boyfriend Raja Chaudhary has stirred a hornets nest.It’s the mother of all battles. In a hard-hitting interview to the leading TV magazine GR8, in a four-page interview Shradha Sharma talks about her relationship with Raja Chaudhary and the other men in her life.

In the ballastic, devil-may-dare interview, Shradha Sharma has openly accused television star Shweta Tiwari of “sleeping around”. When asked why Raja Chaudhary ill-treated his ex-wife Shweta Tiwari, Shradha says very matter-of-factly, “Shweta was sleeping around and everybody knows that, that’s what he (Raja Chaudhary) said. So being a man till when can you take all this”.

Shweta used to send goondas to the flat at Malad (in suburban Mumbai) where Raja Chaudhary was staying – obviously to threaten him and make him vacate the flat, Shradha reveals in the interview, adding that she has never met Shweta Tiwari and does not want to ever meet her.

ABHISHEK AWASTHI LOOKS LIKE A GAAV KA BHAIYA AND EVEN TALKS LIKE ONE

Shradha also talks about her involvement with Abhishek Awasthi – Rakhi Sawant’s former boyfriend. “I was never interested in him. I liked him as a friend. He was after me all the time. Wooing me with flowers, chocolates and even wine bottles. He once tried to get me drunk. If you like Shradha Sharma, you must have the balls to accept and admit it. He told me he doesn’t like Rakhi. He used to say that Rakhi ill-treated him and considered him as a servant or a door-mat,” says Shradha in the bold interview.

Lalit Modi still IPL Commissioner on BCCI website

Lalit Modi will surely be grinning from ear-to-ear on this one, while Shashank Manohar and his camp at the BCCI would be red faced, cross and angry.

Almost 48 hours after it suspended Lalit Modi as IPL chairman and IPL Commissioner and barred him from attending the governing council meeting, the BCCI has still to make the requisite changes to their website and all the relevant related websites. Lalit Modi still appears as IPL chairman and IPL Commissioner on most the official BCCI , IPL and related websites.

IPL scam: Director and producer Roshan Abbas threatens to sue Lalit Modi, IPL finals committee, alleging plagiarism

There is more trouble brewing for beleagured and now suspended IPL commissioner and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi. Director, Producer, actor and event manager Roshan Abbas has threatened to take Lalit Modi to court alleging plagiarism.

Says Roshan Abbas in a statement, “We had presented a concept to the IPL Committee last year. The closing ceremony of the IPL finals is uncannily similar to our concept and we will take it up with our group company JWT Group and our legal counsel and then decide on our future steps.

On TV channel Headlines Today, Roshan Abbas in a live interview said that he will sue Lalit Modi and the organizing committee of the IPL finals for ‘stealing his concept’. According to him, the white mannequin with A R Rahman performing at the closing ceremony was his concept which he has shared with Lalit Modi last year.

Roshan Abbas is working with Shah Rukh Khan on the film Always Kabhi Kabhi.

Lalit Modi to appeal against suspension in the Bombay High Court or Supreme Court

It is learnt that immediately after the BCCI announced - upon completion of the finals match between Mumbai and Chennai – that Lalit Modi has been suspended and sacked (for a period of six months) by the BCCI, the Lalit Modi camp said that they would knock on the doors of the Bombay High Court and maybe even the Supreme Court of India the first thing on Monday morning.

Sources said that even IPL CEO Sundar Raman may have his wings clipped. A three-member panel will now run the IPL as no new interim IPL Commissioner or IPL Chairman has been announced.

IPLgate: BCCI arbitrarily sacks Lalit Modi as IPL Commissioner and IPL chairman for six months for IPL scam

A four member panel that included Arun Jaitley, Shashank Manohar, Rajive Shukla and Ratnakar Shetty drafted and finalized the charge-sheet and show cause notice to Lalit Modi suspending him as IPL Commissioner and IPL Chairman for six months. He has been charged with finanical misdeeds, breach of trust and confidentiality. He has also been prevented from attending BCCI governing council meetings.

Says Flynn Remedios author of the under-publication IPL Gate and an unofficial biography on “Lalit Modi – the man we all love and hate”, “My reliable sources within the BCCI tell me that all the paper work required to suspend Lalit Modi as IPL Commissioner and issue him a show cause notice for flouting norms and impropriation is ready. The paper work was ready as of 8 pm on Sunday evening. It has merely to be delivered to Lalit Modi. The BCCI top brass is waiting for the right moment or should we say opportune moment to forward the official notice to Lalit Modi and also announce the same to the media immediately after the match is over.

This move has raised eyebrows all over proving that the BCCI is a body of emotional immature persons…

IPL and Lalit Modi: Why Lalit Modi must not be arbitrarily made to quit, resign or step down as IPL Commissioner?

By Flynn Remedios – Futuristic Media Network

Will someone please tell BCCI President Shashank Manohar and his top brass coterie at the BCCI that asking Lalit Modi to arbitrarily quit, step down or resign without following procedure will cause the BCCI more harm than good. It will show the world that the BCCI is an immature, driven by media hype body run by persons whose emotions and hearts rule their mind. If the BCCI President has adequate data to implicate Modi, they must immediately show cause him and give him a time, date and venue to remain present in person or through his pleader to defend himself. If they have adequate proof of criminal wrongdoing, they must file a criminal complaint or and FIR against Modi. But none of them will dare do that. They all want a mid-way compromise formula.

We live in India this great democracy where the judicial system still works. We pride in our pillars of democracy. We pride in our free press. We pride in the fact that even a poor man “can” get justice in India. No man is guilty unless proven guilty. Even if ten guilty people get away free, not a single innocent man should be punished are the ideals on which our legal system functions.

We must give Lalit Modi a chance to defend himself. He must get a chance to prepare his defense and answer all the allegations made against him. Unlike Shashi Tharoor, Lalit Modi is not a public servant or government servant. He was running a purely commercial establishment outfit geared to make maximum profits at all costs.

Lalit Modi’s only guilt as of now is his indiscretion in giving out details on Twitter. As IPL Commissioner, Lalit Modi should not have selectively given out the share holding pattern of one franchise on Twitter. He should have exercised discretion and prudence in this matter. He should not have let emotions get the better of him and his mental faculties. As far as all the wild allegations of match fixing, fraud, forgery, betting, money laundering, embezzlement, etc are concerned they are all just allegations. They need to be proven in a court of law by means of a fair trial. Lalit Modi must have an opportunity to speak up.

In that sense, Lalit Modi’s plea for a few days to prepare his defense is fully justified. The BCCI should show that it is a purely professional body and does not go by mere wild allegations appearing in the media. Even Saddam Hussain got an opportunity to face trial. The BCCI should first show cause Lalit Modi or conduct an open enquiry into all the allegations, but asking him to step down or quit without any opportunity to be heard is surely unfair.

In our judicial system, even murderers and rapists get several months to prepare their defense and then face trial. They get various opportunities to defend themselves through Revision Applications and Appeals. Why shouldn’t Lalit Modi be given a chance to speak up? Weren’t the BCCI bigwigs aware of what was going on.

In that sense BCCI President Shashant Manohar must accept responsibility and also step down owing moral responsibility for all the mess. To say that Shashank Manohar and others were not really aware of what is going on within the IPL is sheer stupidity. They were all probably in the know of what was going on. They just turned a blind eye.

If even if one per cent of the allegations against Lalit Modi are true, Lalit Modi could not have run the show with the active support of several BCCI and several others. To make Lalit Modi the fall guy would be hara kiri for the BCCI, because many of them would be signing their death warrants. A bitter and revengeful Lalit Modi is sure to hit out with the vengeance of a tornado. In that sense Shashank Manohar seems to be immature and wearing kid gloves. If he wants to save the good name of the BCCI and whatever equity is left of the IPL, he must follow the process of law. He must give Lalit Modi the time he wants – a few days will not harm anyone. The BCCI is considered as “state” in law and there is a standard procedure set out for such situations. The procedure must be followed. Asking Lalit Modi to arbitrarily quit may lay off the media pressure for a few days. But in the long run it will only harm the BCCI, IPL and cricket in India at large, because more harm will befall the BCCI.

Lalit Modi must get a fair trial. Lalit Modi must get justice. And justice must be seen to be done. We cannot get carried away by media hype. The BCCI must not let emotions rule it, but it should be governed by the rule of law. This entire scam was a result of non confirmation to SOP or standard operating procedure. The BCCI should in its rules have banned the use of public forums like Twitter for employees and officials to vent their spleen. The BCCI should have show caused Lalit Modi when he first tweeted and sent him an official memo or notice asking him to show cause why he should not be sacked for flouting the rule book.

IPL gate: Lalit Modi’s biography titled The Lalit Modi we all loved and hated

The IPL controversy or IPLgate or the IPL scam as it has come to be known as has generated reams and reams of newsprint with newspapers dedicating teams of reporters to cover the tamasha. Sports reporters or cricket correspondents have probably never felt or made to feel so important in any publication.

Now freelance journalist and author Flynn Remedios is burning the midnight oil trying to get out Lalit Modi’s biography before the controversy dies down. Says Flynn Remedios, “For the last two weeks the media has gone to town and most news channels have dedicated almost or more than 60 per cent of their news telecast time to the IPL controversy or IPL gate. A lot of incorrect information or data is coming out in the media. The real controversy lies buried six feet under. There is much much more to IPLgate than meets the eye. Many more big names are involved. There is the match fixing and betting rackets and some prominent names will definitely come out. My books will reveal much more than what is being seen right now. Skeletons will tumble out of the closets, dressing rooms and drawers like bees coming out of a beehive.”

It is also learnt that Flynn Remedios is working on a film script on the IPL saga and another book titled IPL gate.

Asked how long it will take before the books can hit the book shelves of stores, Flynn quips, “Maybe a month, maybe two months. It depends on how fast my publishers can print it.”

FUTURISTIC MEDIA NETWORK: IPLgate: Defiant Lalit Modi refuses to resign. Wants to call the shots as Vijay Mallaya, Sharad Pawar broker peace with BCCI

IPLgate: Defiant Lalit Modi refuses to resign. Wants to call the shots as Vijay Mallaya, Sharad Pawar broker peace with BCCI

Despite growing pressure from his own supporters and well-wishers like Sharad Pawar and Vijay Mallaya who have openly supported Lalit Modi for his charisma, zeal and enthusiasm, a defiant Lalit Modi would like to dictate terms to the BCCI vis-à-vis his exit.

Lalit Modi wants a new post or position with similar powers created for him within the BCCI and a face saving joint press conference that will “announce” his new position for his “fantastic work and for taking IPL to new heights”, say sources.

While BCCI President Shashank Manohar is insisting on nothing less than an out-and-clear resignation, Lalit Modi wants a mid-way option which will enable him to retain some of his powers.

In a statement released to a couple of channels including CNN-IBN and Headlines Today, Modi said on Saturday afternoon that he is not quitting or resigning or stepping down. “I have only asked the BCCI and Mr Sharad Pawar to give a few days to prepare my defense and put together tons of data.”

Lalit Modi refused to confirm if he would be attending the BCCI governing board meeting on Monday 26th April.

IPLgate: BCCI gives in to Lalit Modi’s threats, carrot and stick method. Works out compromise formula for Lalit Modi exit.

It is learnt from unconfirmed sources that the BCCI has given in to Lalit Modi’s threats and carrot and stick method. All senior BCCI officials are aware that while Lalit Modi may or may not be guilty of wrong doing and other allegations leveled against him, he has loads of information and data which could be used to rock many a boat in the BCCI.

Lalit Modi’s internal and secret information could even rock the government. Two to three Union Ministers are already in trouble and many more skeletons may come out of the closet if the BCCI takes on Lalit Modi head on.

This fact was impressed upon Shashank Manohar by Sharad Pawar who has been brokering peace between the warring parties who offered a mid-way for both the parties.

Sharad Pawar’s formula means that Lalit Modi will attend the governing council meeting on 26th and step down on his own. In return the BCCI will allow Lalit Modi to continue as Vice President and not SACK HIM. The IPL Commissioner’s post may be re-constituted and re-engineered with someone like Ravi Shastri taking over with much reduced powers.

According to the latest news sources, Lalit Modi has agreed to step down as IPL Commissioner. Sharad Pawar who has been trying to broker peace between the BCCI and Lalit Mod has worked out a compromise deal between the Lalit Modi and Shashank Manohar.

Apparently Lalit Modi has agreed to step down after the finals on 25th April or latest 26th April. This development happened after Sharad Pawar got BCCI President Shashank Manohar to speak to Lalit Modi on Friday night. According to sources, the two hadn’t spoken to each other for the last ten days and haven’t met face to face for the last 12 days.

A compromise formula has been worked out. Shashank Manohar told Lalit Modi he has to resign or step down. According to Manohar, all the government agencies – the IT dept, the DRI, the CBDT and including the CBI has been knocking on the BCCI doors and the BCCI is under investigation from all fronts. Also the ruckus in parliament, the demand for a joint parliamentary probe by the opposition, the inclusion of other political names were sparked off after Lalit Modi’s spat with Shashi Tharoor and his arbitrary and uncalled for tweets on Twitter.

Lalit Modi who was buying for time and pleading for a few days to prepare his defense lost his footing when his only supporter Sharad Pawar told him in no uncertain terms that he must go.

IPL gate: Lalit Modi insists that he is not quitting, resigning or stepping down

While most media news channels have been reporting today (Saturday) that BCCI sources say Lalit Modi will be stepping down after a compromise formula has been worked out by Sharad Pawar between BCCI President Shashank Manohar and Modi, the defiant Lalit Modi asserted that he is not stepping down, resigning or quitting.

IPL gate: IPL officials destroying data on laptops, servers to cover up IPL scam

IPL officials, secretaries, managers and others are on an “Operation Clean-up”, say sources. But they are not cleaning the cricket body of the scamsters and wheeler-dealers. Instead, they are destroying crucial evidence, lest it should fall into the hands of the authorities.

According to Flynn Remedios, author of IPLgate – the mother of all cricket scams (http://iplgate.wordpress.com), secretaries, managers and officials have begun deleting emails and clearing the trash cans on their laptops, desktops and even computers at home. IT (Information Technology) engineers have been told to clear the cache and trash on servers, lest it lands in the hands of the government, says Flynn Remedios. This follows the leaking of crucial emails to the media including an email sent from NCP politician, bigwig and industrialist Praful Patel’s secretary to former MOS Shashi Tharoor.

After divorce controversy, fake Sania Mirza-Shoaib Malik sex video clip a big hit on the net

By Frank Franklyn – Futuristic Media Network
8 April 8, 2010


As if the Sania Mirza - Shoaib Malik - Ayesha Siddique love triangle and divorce controversy was not enough, now a fake Sania Mirza-Shoaib Malik sex video clip has made its appearance on the internet. According to Google Trends, the Sania Mirza- Shoaib Malik controversy was one of the most researched or searched for topics over the last three days on the internet with a maximum number of hits coming from Pakistan, followed by the Middle East and then India.

According to Flynn Remedios, Editor of the Futuristic Media Network news service, a fake sex video clip has made its appearance on the internet and is fast becoming a hit on the world wide web. The hard core sex video is obviously a fake and has probably been merely renamed by some miscreant to en cash on the publicity surrounding the marriage controversy, says Remedios. However, the video which was posted on You Tube and was online till the time this article was written has clocked over two million hits.

Mumbai-based model and actress Natasha Sikka has filed a complaint with the Mumbai cyber crime cell against a former friend who has allegedly been sending out false and defamatory emails to various professional acquaintances of the model.

According to Flynn Remedios, publicist and spokesperson for Natasha Sikka, "the model was briefly engaged about two years ago to a Delhite. When she called off the engagement on grounds of cruelty and harassment, her incensed former boyfriend started sending out false and defamatory emails to her professional contacts like photographers and web portals. The accused person also put up a vulgar and indecent blog about the model claiming falsely that she is being investigated for fraud. His emails threaten legal action for copy right infringement claiming to be sent from a law firm head quartered in England, under the false email identity of Yogendra Pratap Singh." The police are trying to track down the IP address and location of the sender who has been going about this scandalous deed with great impunity.

Natasha Sikka has informed the Mumbai Cyber Crime cell which is trying to track down the sender. Flynn Remedios who runs the Futuristic Media Network news and content syndication service, also received some defamatory emails and crank calls threatening him with dire consequences for promoting and supporting the model.

HOT, SEXY ANAYA DAS: NEW SEX SYMBOL IN TOLLYWOOD

By Frank Franklyn – Futuristic Media Network


The sexy, curvaceous and voluptuous Anaya Das is undisputedly the new sex symbol in Tollywood. The 21-year-old Mumbai-based bombshell has signed on two new Tamil films in a matter of weeks. She is also shooting for the Tamil remake of the historical film Jhansi ki Rani – the Great Escape along with Avantika Sharma and Neelakshi Singh.

The Tamil version of Jhansi Ki Rani based on the British version of the historic tale of the Jhansi Ki Rani is controversial in nature but is based on authentic records by a British historian as mentioned in his books. The film produced by the Cochin-based Red Ruby Films is being made in Tamil, but will be dubbed in about four additional languages including Hindi, Bengali and English.

According to Flynn Remedios, publicist and spokesperson for Red Ruby Films, this film is bound to create a big controversy as it shows the Rani as a scheming, devious woman who would stop at nothing to reach her goal which is defending Jhansi. “All is fair in love and war,” was apparently Rani Laxmi bai’s motto when she used some ‘women of the night’ in her army to seduce and distract the British soilders during the seige of Jhansi, says Flynn Remedios, adding that this fact has been probably ommitted by Indian historians. “Since there is no concrete historical evidence of this and is only mentioned once by one British writer – a former officer in the British army, it may be considered as part fiction. The script of the movie uses some filmi licence,” explains Flynn Remedios.

While Neelakshi Singh plays Rani Laxmibai, Avantika Sharma is the 20-year-old daughter of a British colonel. Anaya Das plays the dasi or handmaid of Jhansi ki Rani who helped her to escape from the British onslaught.
