Bigg Boss Malayalam contestant Sabu facing arrest?

It looks like a major controversy is brewing already in the first season of Bigg Boss Malayalam. The show, which premiered on Sunday, has been taking a lot of heat due to one of its contestants Sabumon Abdusamad, popularly known as Tharikida Sabu.
The popular TV anchor-actor, who is no stranger to controversies, has been booked under various sections of IPC for his alleged derogatory Facebook post against a woman.
BJP leader Lasitha Palakkal has filed a complaint against Sabu accusing him of making sexually inappropriate comments against her.
“Sabu has been booked under sections 354 (A) of IPC and 120 of Kerala Police Act (KP). He has, however, not been charged under relevant sections of the IT Act,” reported The News Minute quoting a police official.
Lasitha took to Facebook demanding the arrest of Sabu after he was introduced as a contestant of Bigg Boss Malayalam. She alleged in a Facebook post “The government claims Sabu is absconding. But, he is on Asianet’s show Bigg Boss.”
She asked, “Will the government take action against the owner of the channel for hiding an accused?”
The police have claimed that they are yet to establish whether the Facebook page where abusive comments against Lasitha appeared, indeed, belonged to Sabu. The case is now with the cybercrime department, while Lasitha has vowed to continue to press charges against Sabu.
As part of the rules of the show, Sabu will remain locked inside the Bigg Boss house, which is located in Mumbai’s film city for at least 100 days or until he gets voted out by the viewers.
Sabu has a long history of drawing flak for his provocative statements. Earlier, he even faced the wrath of fans for his comments on superstar Mohanlal, who is also hosting Bigg Boss Malayalam.
It may be recalled that the first season of Bigg Boss Telugu also ran into a similar trouble last year. Actor Mumaith Khan, who was wanted for questioning in connection with a major drug racket back then, participated in the show. However, on the directions of the investigating officials, she was transported to Hyderabad to face questioning. And she was allowed to re-enter the show later.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
