SRK fined for smoking - but Rs. 100

SRK seems to be OK with the fine that he received for the offense he made in public, we are talking about the smoking incident that SRK was involved in. The event happened at Jaipur stadium, during an IPL match. Shahrukh Khan was spotted smoking in public and this was caught on cctv camera which made the case (news here)

A Jaipur city court earlier pronounced its judgement on a petition filed against the actor Shahrukh Khan saying that the actor was "guilty" for smoking in public. 

Shahrukh Khan, who drew criticism for smoking in public and was asked to pay fine for his act, pleaded guilty and paid fine before the court on Wednesday, Aug 1 to put an end to all legal trouble he has faced so far. The court asked the actor to pay Rs 100 as fine. Soon after the court's judgement, Shahrukh's counsel claimed that his client was ready to pay the fine.

Nodding to the counsel's request, the court exempted the actor from personal appearance and allowed him to pay the amount through his counsel. Quite interestingly, the amount of fine i.e. Rs 100 must be less than the cost of his cigarette box.

The critics are now blaming the court for keeping the fine too less for the actor and was made a feeble amount - but again there are fixed laws on cases and court has to go by its rules.

Anand Singh, who runs the Jaipur Cricket Academy - a private club, had filed the petition against the court complaining about his act of smoking in public during an IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Apr 8.

The petitioner filed the case against SRK under section 5 read with 11 of Rajasthan Prohibition of Smoking Act, 2000, which prohibits smoking at a public places.

There has been many incidents where celebrities were involved in the smoking in public allegations and Ranbir Kapoor was the latest one who had to face the court. He had however clarified through counselor that he wasn't smoking in real, instead this was the part of the movie. Ranbir was spotted smoking at the sets of 'Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani' (news here)

I miss her a lot - John Abraham

An emotional note on Bipasha, with love John

John and Bipasha has been on a big note for the decade until the recent news of their breakup came in, it was mentioned that they are no longer together, but it seems that the nostalgia of this relationship still resides in heart of John Abraham. In a recent TV show, with Simi Garewal, he mentioned that he still misses the warm moments the couple shared and he went ahead doing the second part of the interview too!

In the talk show, unlike other couples who would try to express the partners lower side of things, this was an exception as John kept on mentioning how sweet the time he had when they were together. This truly felt straight from the heart. He also went ahead mentioning what went wrong toward the end notes of his decade long relationship with Bipasha.

The statements were as if he wished to convey his gratitude to the ex-girlfriend and mentioned her how integral she was to him. The sources mention that he did have few parts re-shot to convey his true feelings. But to his bad luck the full show did not air as they had a restriction of 12 minutes and this has reduced the essence of the feelings. Althought Simi Garewal confirmed that all those which were mentioned were good things about Bips.

It seems that John does want her back and the news is that she has shut down all contacts with John and it seems that it is only John who feels he want his girlfriend back!

Legal Tangles for 'Delhi Belly'

Delhi Belly makers to be sued?

After the humongous success of Delhi Belly, both the characters and actors has been widely accepted. They are gaining both monetarily and in popularity. But there has been more troubles to tackle with, the latest is from Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court issuing notices. We guess there is more to come!!

Recently in a hearing Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court has issued notices to Aamir Khan Productions, Department of Information and Broadcasting and Censor Board of Film Certification opposing the public exhibition of the movie. The court clearly states that this movie violates the section 5B of Cinematograph Act of the Indian Government. 

This has been a pretty strong blow to the producers and to the censor board, the court has asked to submit replies with in 4 weeks explaining the reasons. The notices were issued by Justice Uma Nath Singh and Justice Anil Kumar on written petition seeking to remove the certificate for public exhibition to the film which was released on July 1st. 

The petitioners alleged that the film was a wrong trend to the society with its indecent, immoral and abusive language in use. They also demanded not to certify any further movies of this genre!

We hope Aamir gets off this train as quickly as he boarded on it!
