Emraan Hashmi speaks out; minority commission's verdict today

Friends close to Emraan Hashmi insist he will fight out the issue to its bitter end, no matter how isolated he may be in his battle to prove that sections of supposedly progressive metropolitan Mumbai practice religious segregation. Says a source very close to Emraan, "He moves around with a lot of security. It's a precautionary measure. Emraan has filed a complaint with the minority commission. It will come to its decision today, the 10th August. Until they do, he's in danger. Emraan is not really troubled. His house IS looking like a fortress. The police complaint doesn't deter Emraan at all. It's an age-old ploy to silence you. No one can accuse Emraan of inciting communal disharmony. Religious discrimination in buying and renting property has been going on for a very long time. No one talked about it openly. It's a sensitive issue." Now the people who denied Emraan property are tripping over changing their statements repeatedly. "They said he was kept out because Emraan was serial kisser. For some reason they also made up an absurd allegation that Emraan's parents barged into the office of the property dealers. Emraan's parents had taken a proper appointment and gone and they were treated badly. They were told the housing society people were busy. Emraan was enraged because his parents were badly treated. He had earlier bought an apartment in 2007 in Pali Hill. But there was no such problem. This was his first real encounter with discrimination." Now the people whom the actor was trying to buy property from have buckled under. Says Emraan's friend, "The prospective property seller now says he doesn't want to sell. But for Emraan it is no longer about personal hurt. He's standing up for an issue. People have accused him of doing this to gain publicity. Let them say what they like. He has no releases in the next few months. Emraan doesn't care what the cynics say." About the lack of support from within the industry, Emraan's friend says, "He wasn't expecting any real support. Javed and Shabana have spoken on it. Also, Saif, Emraan didn't raise his voice hoping to get support. Emraan is prepared to take the issue to its logical issue. He hopes people will no longer keep quiet about being denied property in spite of being law-abiding citizens and paying taxes." For Emraan the issue has become much larger than a personal one. Says Emraan, "The problem of being denied property on grounds of religion is prevalent all over the country. Now so many Muslims have come forward claiming the same. And mind you, I know religious profiling works both ways. I know of Muslim colonies where Hindus are not allowed to stay. I spoke out as a segregated citizen, not a Muslim. I want all discrimination in property allotment to go. Otherwise why do we call ourselves a democracy?" Emraan hopes more voice to be raised against discrimination. He's shooting for Ekta Kapoor's Once Upon A Time In Mumbai. The shooting doesn't stop.

Anifest India postponed due to swine flu scare

The imminent swine flu scare in Pune and Mumbai has taken toll on plans for India's largest animation festival, Anifest India. Scheduled for the Independence Day weekend, the 4-day festival has now been postponed until further notice. Anifest India had received 1500+ confirmed registrations and a large number of people were to travel from out of Mumbai for this festival. The organizers, The Animation Society of India (TASI) Managing Committee said in a statement, “Due to the increased risk of swine flu, the TASI has taken the difficult but important decision to postpone Anifest India 2009. It is a very disappointing thing for us but we have no choice under the current circumstances.” TASI, a non-profit volunteer organization and the organizers of Anifest India, had made elaborate provisions for a power packed event. “For the past four months we have been working overtime to organize this annual festival. The pre-selection jury was working over 17 hours on Sunday to select films for screening and voting at the festival.” "Under the present circumstances, as a responsible organization we have taken a decision to avoid gathering such a large crowd in close proximity to each other for four days under one roof. We know that this will mean substantial financial losses to the Society and for everyone who have been a part of it, since a large part of the organizational expenses and time have already been incurred. These are inconsequential compared to public health and safety," the statement further said.

Arjun Rampal on GQ cover this month

He is one of the first premier supermodels of India. He is none other than Arjun Rampal, the man who put India on the global map, courtesy his Adonis look and a personality that gives many supermodels an inferiority complex even today! And it is this man, who is on the cover of the latest edition of GQ. Aptly titled 'The unusual world of Arjun Rampal', this article takes a 'magnified sneak peak' in the world of the enigmatic phenomenon called Arjun Rampal! It has him talking about his supermodel wife Mehr Jessia Rampal. He says, "When I looked at my wife for the first time, I thought she'd be a beautiful wife to have- and it happened. I guess my visualization was just stronger than the rest." This issue also has a treat for Arjun's fans in the form of 5 things that you didn't know about him, but should know. A couple of these things include him confessing that he was really scared before Om Shanti Om and the legendary man by whom Arjun was completely rattled by! Arjun also speaks his heart out saying, "We've gone through that phase where we've tried to do other things just to make ends meet". This issue surely makes an interesting read.
