Plea for TV ban
An online petition has been moved for a ban on the TV show, Pehredaar Piya Ki, which has been described as obnoxious and containing perverted content that can severely impact impressionable minds of children.
The show is about a nine-year-old's parents getting killed in a planned blast and the child's kin asking an older woman to marry him and be his protector.
Bhoomi is a special film. I still do not read the script or look at the monitor after shots. I do not look at what the other actors are doing. I think my working style has not changed.

Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, feels the nation needs to build more toilets than mosques and temples. “All I am trying to say is that you can go without going to the mosque or temple for a day or even go without a meal, but you can't just go without going to the toilet everyday. I am saying it in a practical way, and not saying it in a frivolous way or like a joke,” he said.
Victoria Beckham sues eatery
Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham is taking legal action against a takeaway restaurant over a thoughtless advertisement that compares their thin pizza crusts to her. Sidhu Golden Fish and Chips in North Tyneside said in an advert that its pizza crusts are thinner than Victoria, who is married to football legend David Beckham. The takeaway created a caricature of the Spice Girls singer wearing a sash which reads Anorexic Fashion Icon to advertise its 2 mm pizza crusts on the back of their delivery van. But Victoria's spokesperson has branded the slogan thoughtless. “It is highly inappropriate to trivialise such a disorder, and defamatory to be so thoughtless with a person's reputation in this way. Sadly,this is now a legal matter,” the spokesperson said.
