Kushal Tandon’s Bebaakee to stream in July

The upcoming romantic drama series Bebaakee, which was earlier scheduled to premiere in March on ALTBalaji and ZEE5, will now start streaming on leading home-grown OTT platforms in the month of July. The web series casts Kushal Tandon, Shiv Jyoti Rajput, and Karan Jotwani in pivotal characters.

Bebaakee follows the lives of Kainaat Sahni and Sufiyaan Alazi, two powerful characters with contrasting personalities. Simple and carefree, Kainaat has her eyes set on her goals while Sufiyaan belongs to an ultra-rich family. Their paths cross because of their shared love for journalism. The confusion arises when the duo finds themselves unable to figure out if the vibe that they share is going to be followed by love or hate.

Bebaakee reunites actor Kushal Tandon with producer Ekta Kapoor after their 2018 web series Hum. Talking about his forthcoming project, the actor says, “I chose to be a part of Bebaakee since it gave me the chance to be part of an ALTBalaji show for the second time. What really stood out was Ekta ma’am telling me that it is a very crazy character with grey shades and one of the best-written roles in a fictional web series. I still remember that I was in Thailand undergoing my training in martial arts when she told me that you have to do this to which I agreed immediately. I can relate so well to my character because 75% of Sufiyaan is what Kushal is in real life. Sufiyaan is one of the most exciting roles I have ever played and I am sure that my fans will absolutely love it.”

Bebaakee features Sameer Malhotra, Saloni Vora, Suchitra Pillai, Indraneel Bhattacharya, Pratik Sehajpal, Aditi Vats, Pubali Sanyal, and Ishaan Dhawan in supporting roles.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
