Another Telugu actress Divya Sri caught in Sex Scandal!

Sep 9, 2014 by Sohini M 1 Comment

In another shocking revelation, another Tollywood actress has been caught in a prostitution racket in Hyderabad.

A report on OneIndia website has mentioned that actress Divya Sriw is the new name to come up in flesh-trade. Divya has acted in the film “BTech Babu”.

Actress Divya Sri arrested in sex racket

Sources have been quoted that the police had prior information of the Guntur racket. The police apparently raided a house after a tipoff, where the actress was caught red-handed.

Police sources have further confirmed that other actresses and models were also caught with Divya, and Actor Pawan Kumar, Chandu and along with others are active in the racket.

It is now being checked on whether this new racket has to do with anything with National Award winning Shweta Basu’s prostitution rack.

Earlier last week, the 23-year old Shweta Basu was caught in a posh hotel in Banjara Hills in Hyderabad.

However, Shweta has found a lot of support on the social media following her arrest. While award winning director Hansal Mehta said he intended to offer her a role, others have been vocal about why her name was out at the first place.

Shweta herself had claimed that she has been lured in the business and had to do the same to support her family. She had also mentioned that many actresses are also in the same business.

It remains to be seen if the names of the high profile clients and business tycoons are revealed by Shweta.

Meanwhile, the new exposure certainly gives an insight on how the feeble actresses are making their way in the industry.

Shweta Basu Sex Scandal: Shweta To Reveal Names Of Her Clients

Sep 8, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

National award winning actress Shweta Basu Prasad, who was detained in a prostitution racket few days back, is likely to reveal the names and identities of her clients.

A report in Zee News suggests that she is probably ready to reveal names of many clients, which includes high profile business tycoons from many metros.

Earlier in the week, the media was abuzz and took on the 23-year old actress quite harshly. In fact, many questions were raised by celebs like Upen Patel and Aditi Rao Hydari on why only she was named in the operation.

The actress did issue a statement saying that she was lured into the business for money, because of tough financial issues and a family to support.

Reports also suggested that her pimp and small time assistant director in Tollywood, Balu, was taking a sum of Rs. 1 lakh from her clients.

National award winning director Hansal Mehta has also come to her rescue and has said that he intends to offer her a role in his film.

Meanwhile, if Sweta, who won many awards for her role in “Makdee”, chooses to open her mouth, it remains to be seen who are named.

While Sweta wasn’t arrested but just sent to a rescue home, her pimp Balu has been arrested.

The actress’s name also came up once before when she was caught on camera in a sting operation that was done by a local Telugu channel.

Here’s hoping this young actress comes back in form again.

‘Mary Kom’ Total worldwide box-office collection report

Sep 8, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

Priyanka Chopra starrer “Mary Kom” has surprised everyone by collecting Rs.17.25 crores in two days since it was released on September 5, 2014.

Giving a serious tackle to last week’s release “Raja Natwarlal”, this movie based on the life of five-time World boxing champion Mary Kom has raked in good money.

The screen count of “Mary Kom” is close to 1800, which is decent for a women-centric film with no notable stars except Priyanka Chopra.

Critics have praised Chopra for her amazing performance as Mary Kom, while screenplay and direction also have got decent marks.

Most critics have praised debutant director Omung Kumar for keeping the story close to Mary’s own story.

Priyanka thanked hers fans on Twitter for the overwhelming response. “Thank you for the incredible response to #MaryKom. I guess this film was such a heart wrenching experience that the love is just overwhelming (sic),” she posted.

The movie also stars newcomer Darshan Kumar and features actor Sunil Thapa in supporting roles. “Mary Kom” has been produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

So far, fans and people in the industry have given thumbs up to the Priyanka starrer, which should translate in a decent figure for the weekend.

However, keeping the coming week’s releases in mind, “Mary Kom” may have tough competition ahead. While it is likely to make the basic money within this week for being the solo release, it will have to compete with “Creature 3D” and “Finding Fanny”.

US Open 2014 Women’s final live Streaming: Caroline Wozniacki vs Serena Williams

Sep 7, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

It’s Serena Williams against Caroline Wozniacki for the 2014 U.S. Open final scheduled on September 8, 2014.

The match starts at 2:00 am India time on Monday.

The final remains the most important day for both players as Williams was to redeem her recent criticized form with 18th Grand Slam win, while Wozniacki makes her way to the first.

Watch the live streaming of the 2014 U.S. Open Women’s finals on US open official website here.

In terms of stats, Williams surely holds the edge. Wozniacki managed to defeat Williams once in the Sony Open in 2014, but again this year, Williams continued to rule with two wins at Montreal and Cincinnati.

The live streaming of the Women’s final can be watched here or HERE or HERE or Here.

The match will be telecasted live in US by CBS as it has been for decades now. In Indian subcontinent, fans can watch the finals on Ten Sports. For others in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, the match will be live on ESPN International.

What Williams has is her amazing complete court game, but defensive skills are what that keeps Wozniacki on the right track.

Wozniacki reach to the finals hasn’t been easy. She defeated Maria Sharapova in a mentally and physically challenging match in the fourth round, while her win against Peng Shuai wasn’t easy either. Peng did give away the right strokes, but was struck with heat, she had to retire, despite getting medical treatment.

However, Wozniacki still had an edge on that one for sure.

Williams, on the other hand, has not been her best, at least not till the semifinal match. She comes to the finals after defeating Ekaterina Makarova 6-1, 6-3, which was easy but yes surely, that remained her best in US Open.

Much of the final depends on Williams and her tryst with the racket. If she plays like what she did against Makarova, Wozniacki needs to find better ways.

Williams and Wozniacki are known for their friendship, which may go against Williams, who has been telling that she would be happy no matter who wins.

A report on Times of India suggested that there were two more accomplices to the crime, while five others helped in burying the body.

After having won the series, India lost the 5th and final ODI after failing to chase a target of 295 set by England on Sept 5, 2014

The hosts started off the first over quite well with 10 runs coming off it. However, within the 4th over, Umesh Yadav got Alex Hales. England’s decision to promote Moeen Ali didn’t help either as he left with just 9 runs in the 7th over.

The main for the hosts was Joe Root, who took no time to settle in and made that extensive figure of 113 runs off 108 balls, continuing till the 46th over. The same didn’t hold true with any of the other players, who struggled for double digits.

Skipper Cook seemed to be in shape, but his 46 came off 77 balls before he was taken by Dhoni on Raina’s ball. Jos Buttler did give some help to Root.

Watch highlights videos:

While India did well to limit the hosts, they lost their last match’s star player Ajinkya Rahane to James Anderson right in the 1st over.

Soon to go was Kohli, who’s dry spell of runs didn’t seem to end. At the thirteenth over, Moeen Ali bowled Shikhar Dhawan.

At the time of writing, India was at 56 at the loss of 3 wickets at the end of 16th over.
