‘Are your breasts real? Can I touch?’ Actress Sherlyn Chopra accuses KWAN talent agency co-founder of sexual misconduct

Bollywood actress Sherlyn Chopra on Tuesday took to Twitter to call out sexual misconduct of KWAN talent agency co-founder Anirban Blah.

Narrating the incident where she had gone to him to ask him to help her manage her career as talent agency for A-listers, she said that she asked him if he could help her get quality films. “He looked at me up and down all the time. I asked him, ‘What happened sir, am I not well-dressed?’ He said, ‘No, no. Are your breasts real? Can I touch?’ he asked,” she said.

Sherlyn then said that she asked Anirban whether he is married. “Don’t you touch your wife’s. Touch your wife’s breasts. You will know. Whether they are real or fake,” she told him. To that, Chopra says that Anirban again asked her if ‘hers’ are real.

“I was shocked. How can someone ask such a disgusting question. Whether real or fake, however they are, what’s your problem? Are you a tailor? That you’ve to touch and feel. Nonsense,” she said. She added how this is unacceptable behaviour. “You cannot talk to a lady like this,” she said. “You must be liking it if any girl touches you or your private parts. A woman does not like that. Especially when she is going to a talent manager. Why would she like it? Don’t you have brains? What does talent have to do with size of breasts?” she added with hand gestures.

“Whether real or fake, are viewers pained? When I experienced things like these, I realised that in this industry many are wearing masks of decency but put up indecent proposals,” she said.

Nikhil Dwivedi, filmmaker and director of talent agency owned by Salman Khan, claims latter did not buy stakes in KWAN. Read details

Earlier in the day, it was reported how all the big Bollywood names which have emerged in the NCB’s probe so far has links with this celebrity agency called KWAN Talent Management. With this, it was disclosed that Uniworld Being Talented (UBT), the talent management company owned by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, holds major stakes in Big Bang Media Venture, the holding company which owns KWAN.

This disclosure left the superstar’s bootlickers extremely rattled. Filmmaker and director of Salman Khan’s Uniworld Being Talented (UBT), Nikhil Dwivedi hastily took to Twitter to claim that this “NEWS is FALSE, MALICIOUS & MISCHIEVOUS”. Sharing news by Times Now, Dwivedi claimed that such knowledge in today’s time cannot be kept secret as all information is available easily on the public domain. Saying so, Dwivedi slammed the “major News Channel” for spreading fake news that Salman Khan had stakes in KWAN Agency.

A Twitter user (@Sharanyashettyy), dug out information from the internet to button up Nikhil Dwivedi’s claims.

Twitter user produces proof to bust Nikhil Dwivedi’s claim regarding Salman Khan

The Twitter user shared screenshots of news clips which proved that Salman Khan was indeed linked to Kwan Company. She shares details of Salman Khan’s talent management company Uniworld Big Talent (UBT), which shows that as on August 18, 2020, along with Salman Salim Khan, one Vikram Tanwar, Nikhil Srigovind Dwivedi and Amit K Dangi are also designated partners in the firm which was incorporated on February 22, 2018.

Big Bang Media Venture’s co-owner Madhu Matena and UBT’s Vikram Tanwar overjoyed with their business association

Notably, when in November 2018, Salman Khan’s talent company Uniworld Being Talented (UBT) picked up a strategic stake in Big Bang Media Ventures, the holding company that owns KWAN, it’s co-founder- Madhu Matena Verma had expressed joy by saying: “We are delighted with the opportunity to partner UBT and look forward to building large, sustainable and transparent entertainment services. This one of a kind association between a Bollywood superstar with a premium talent agency Kwan entertainment is one of the biggest alliances of the industry this year”.

Meanwhile, Vikram Tanwar, co-founder of UBT had said: “We are excited about this partnership and look forward to create great synergy between the two companies.” On November 9, 2018, Salman Khan had himself tweeted “I am UBT (Uniworld Being Talented) and I shall always remain UBT…..”

Salman Khan’s legal team denies allegations

However, Salman Khan is refuting media reports. The actor’s legal team has issued a statement against media houses for dragging Salman’s name falsely into the KWAN stakes matter. Salman’s legal team in the statement clarified that the actor has no stake, directly or indirectly, in KWAN or any of its group entities.

Madhu Mantena Verma and his curious links with Big Bang Media Ventures, the holding company of KWAN Agency, Mantena Film Ventures and also Phantom Films

In our earlier report, we informed that KWAN Management was co-founded by film producer Madhu Mantena Verma. It is pertinent to note here, that Big Bang Media Ventures, the holding company that owns KWAN, was also a partner in Mantena Film Ventures, which has business related to film production, distribution, television production, music production, licensing, as well as new music label for independent artists.

Moreover, Big Bang Media Ventures was also a partner in Phantom Films which was co-founded by Madhu Mantena Verma along with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl and Vikramaditya Motwane.

Now with all the links explained above, it becomes evidently clear that Madhu Mentena Verma is the common link which co-owns Big Bang Media Ventures, the holding company of KWAN Agency, Mantena Film Ventures and also Phantom Films, which was dissolved after October 2018 #MeToo allegations against Vikas Bahl where he was accused of sexually harassing an actress. Recently, Anurag Kashyap, too, was accused of sexually assaulting an actress, Payal Ghosh.

KWAN Agency became the first such Indian company to enter China

Interestingly, in 2019, KWAN Agency went on to become the first such Indian company to enter China in partnership with local company E Stars Films. It was reported that KWAN had signed an exclusive, long-term business association with E Stars CEO Allen Liu.

NCB summons KWAN CEO and others associated with the company

The Narcotics Control Bureau today summoned KWAN Agency CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar for questioning as it investigates the drug usage in Bollywood. Along with the CEO, NCB also summoned KWAN’s head talent manager Jaya Saha and Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash who also works with KWAN.

On Monday, Jaya Saha had appeared before the NCB for questioning in the case. During the five-hour-long questioning of Sushant Singh Rajput’s talent manager Jaya Saha, NCB got information about those playing an active role in the Bollywood drug nexus. It was during Jaya Saha’s interrogation that popular names like Shraddha Kapoor and Deepika Padukone surfaced and WhatsApp chats had been retrieved in which they allegedly spoke about procuring drugs.

NDTV journalist of ‘chhota mota bomb blast’ fame is incensed at speech he finds uncomfortable: Read how

NDTV journalist of ‘chhota mota bomb blast’ fame is incensed at speech he finds uncomfortable: Read how

NDTV ‘journalist’ Sreenivasan Jain took to Twitter on Tuesday to express his anger over the ‘alleged’ inaction of the Union government against Sudarshan News. The journalist, known for downplaying a terrorist attack as ‘chota-mota’, accused the Centre of safeguarding its ‘own people’ at all costs.

Sreenivasan Jain was incensed after Sudarshan News cited the NDTV show on ‘Hindu terror’ in the Supreme Court. While attacking the Centre, the NDTV journalist tweeted that it was ‘worth-noting’ the supposed extent to which the Union government had gone to defend Sudarshan TV.

He wrote, “From the Solicitor General discovering press freedoms, to bogus whatabouttery (what about shows on Hindu terror?) to insisting that the Court first regulate digital media.”

Jain further alleged that it was a common practice for political parties to shield its people in the media. He added that the government occasionally sacrifices its own for the sake of neutrality and rule of law, provided the crime is ‘egregiously bad.’

Sreenivasan Jain tweeted, “All parties/govt’s go out of their way to protect ‘apne log’ – our people. But occasionally, to maintain the veneer of neutrality and adherence to rule of law, you allow the action, especially if the stakes are low, and the ‘crime’ is egregiously bad.”

The NDTV journalist then suggested that the Centre did not even want to pretend to even look neutral or uphold law of the land. He alleged that the government of the day would leave no stone unturned to defend its ‘own people’, even if would ‘ruin’ the rule of law.

He named three people, namely, Kapil Mishra, Sudarshan TV, and ABVP workers who allegedly attacked JNU, in the list of those whose crimes were ‘egregiously’ bad according to him. Jain continued with his unsolicited rant, “But this regime has, again and again, its determination to fight to the last to defend ‘our people’, regardless of the ruinous impact on the rule of law.”

Sreenivasan Jain trivialises terror attack to peddle his agenda

During one of his shows on NDTV, Sreenivasan Jain tried to downplay a terrorist attack to peddle his anti-Modi narrative. He had claimed that terrorists such as Ishrat Jahan, gunned down by the Gujarat Police during an ecounter, did not come to kill the then Gujarat Chief Minister but to do a ‘chota-mota‘ (small-time) bomb blast.

Under the garb of informing the viewers about the CBI investigation into the encounter, the NDTV journalist had insuinated that since Ishran Jahan had come to only execute a small-time terror attack, therefore, she ought to have been treated well by the Gujarat police. Conveying that the terrorist deserved a ‘fair trial’, he tried to paint terrorism as a ‘no-big deal’ issue. It is therefore, surprising that a journalist who was once at the forefront of providing intellectual cover fire to a slain terrorist is today incensed about the government’s alleged defence of a news channel, with views and opinions contrary to his.

NDTV journalist slammed by investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

In a recent interview with investor and businessman Rakesh Jhunjhunwala on NDTV, ‘journalist’ Sreenivasan Jain got a lesson in ethical media reporting. “I am a fan of Mr. Modi – This is a well-known fact. As an Indian, I have a right to my political choices… But, I find you prejudiced. I find NDTV prejudiced against the government,” Rakesh Jhunjhunwala emphasised. The NDTV journalist then made one last desperate attempt to dismiss the allegations against him and his media channel.

Sreenivasan Jain said, “You feel that your opinion is not prejudiced.” Lambasting the motivated journalism of NDTV and Jain, the businessman reiterated, “Well, I am a political animal. The press is not a political animal. You are supposed to be unprejudiced.” Without nothing left to say, the journalist laughed aloud and claimed, “I would love to think that I am unprejudiced.”

Suspended AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh admits on TV that he broke Deputy Chairman’s mic

After being suspended for a week on account of unruly behaviour in the parliament, AAP Rajya Sabha Member Sanjay Singh today unabashedly admitted on the national television that he was the one who broke the mic of the Deputy Chairman of the House amidst the ruckus over the farm bills.

However, Singh defended his unruly behaviour, alleging that he did for the sake of protecting the democracy.

“I admit that I stood up on the table. I also admit that I broke the mic but I did it for the sake of protecting the democracy,” Singh was heard brazening out his thuggish behaviour in an interview with a CNN News 18 journalist.

Responding to the question that Venkaiah Naidu said that none of the suspended MPs is repentant about their activity that led to their suspension, the AAP leader defended himself and the other legislators, saying that they were trying to ‘save democracy’.

“It is the government’s fault. They have killed democracy by forcibly passing the farm bills. It is a constitutional rule and tradition that even if a single member asks for division vote, then they need to do it,” Singh said.

8 Rajya Sabha MPs suspended for their unruly behaviour with the chair

Rajya Sabha on Monday suspended 8 opposition MPs, including AAP’s Sanjay Singh for a week after they were found guilty of exhibiting unparliamentary behaviour. Derek O Brien, Sanjay Singh, Raju Satav, KK Ragesh, Ripun Bora, Dola Sen, Syed Nazir Hussain, and Elamaran Karim will not be allowed in the house for the next seven days.

Video clips of AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh assaulting a Marshal on duty had gone viral yesterday. The Marshal was trying to stop him from charging at the deputy chairman and creating a ruckus. Singh also climbed on the table and raised a slogan against the Farmer’s bill passed later in the upper house.

According to the charge sheet, out of Rs 1.61 crore, Rs 1,48,01,186 was withdrawn as cash and was spent towards the management of the protest sites during the anti-CAA protests and to “execute the conspiracy hatched in riots in Delhi”. Ishrat Jahan is alleged to have received Rs 5.41 lakh in her bank account through online transactions as well as cash deposits on December 10. She allegedly received Rs 4 lakh from a Corporation Bank in Maharashtra which was transferred by the driver of a man named Samir Abdul Sai who is said to be a resident of Maharashtra.

The charge sheet states that Jahan deposited Rs 1,41,000 in her account on January 10, 2020.

The weapons were allegedly used during the riots. According to police, Jahan’s brother-in-law had taken Rs 4 lakh from her for business purpose but he did not disclose that in his income tax return. He also failed to give a satisfactory answer regarding the use of that money.

Tahir Hussain spent money for mobilising people

Transactions related to these accounts have also been examined by the police and the persons involved have also been examined. During the investigation, the police found that Hussain converted a certain amount of money into cash. A huge amount of cash was allegedly spent by Hussain in organising the protests, mobilising people for riots and procuring material used in the riots.

Role of AAJMI in the Riots

According to Police, the Jamia Alumni association “played a crucial role through its President Shifa-Ur-Rehman in the protests and riots”. Rehman revealed during the investigation that he has deposited an amount of Rs 50,000 in cash in the account of AAJMI. However, he said that he did not remember the name of the person he deposited the amount through. Rehman admitted to having withdrawn Rs 70,000 from the AAJMI account for spending in the protests.

On the analysis of another bank account belonging to AAJMI by the police, it was revealed that between December 1, 2019, to February 26, 2020, a total amount of Rs 4,41,059 was credited online into the account and a sum of Rs 60,600 was withdrawn. Rehman said that he used this amount for managing the anti-CAA/ anti-NRC protests. Allegedly Rs 7,60,000 worth cash was received in AAJMI account during this period. The charge sheet states that a total amount of Rs 5,55,000 was received from former students working abroad, especially Gulf countries.

According to the charge sheet, accused Rehman tried to cover up these transactions which was revealed on examinations of seized documents including fake bills and expenses worth Rs 1,69,554 in the name of AAJMI.

Transactions Relating to Meeran Haider

Police have alleged that Meeran Haider received Rs 86,644 through online transactions in his bank account between December 1, 2019, and February 26, 2020. As documents seized by the police from Haider’s room, he had received n amount of Rs 4,82,500.

The investigation revealed that Rs 2,86,000 was distributed among Muslims to instigate riots.

The lawyers of the all the five accused named in the charge sheet have clearly denied the allegations relating to monetary transactions.
