Actress Navina Bole accuses Sajid Khan of sexual harassment: "Asked me to strip and sit in my lingerie"

Television actress Navina Bole has come forward with a troubling story about filmmaker Sajid Khan, adding her voice to the list of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. In a recent interview with Subhojit Ghosh, Bole recounted how a professional opportunity quickly turned into an uncomfortable and inappropriate situation.

Bole, who has appeared in popular shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, and Ishqbaaz, said the incident happened between 2004 and 2006, soon after her stint at Gladrags. Excited about a possible role, she went to meet Sajid Khan but instead of a formal meeting, she found herself at his house, not an office.

Heather Graham slams Hollywood’s treatment of women, launches her own studio

After decades in the film industry, Heather Graham is looking to change the game and she’s ready to build something of her own to do it. Starting out in the 1980s as a teenager, Graham saw first hand how few opportunities existed for women behind the camera. Back then, directing wasn’t even considered an option for most women. “There just weren’t many female directors when I started. It wasn’t cool. It wasn’t encouraged,” she says.

Today, things have shifted. Graham points to Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar success with Barbie as proof that films with a feminist edge can find massive audiences. But she knows there’s still a long way to go. That’s why she’s thinking about launching her own production company, following in the footsteps of Reese Witherspoon and Margot Robbie, women who have built platforms to tell stories that centre women’s experiences.

'Star Wars' creator George Lucas gives a lesson in effective speaking as he explains 'Yodaspeak'

If you've ever wondered why Yoda from Star Wars talks the way he does, you're not alone. For decades, fans have come up with theories, everything from ancient Jedi traditions to alien grammar rules. But George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, recently set the record straight, and the answer is surprisingly simple.

At a special screening celebrating The Empire Strikes Back's 45th anniversary, Lucas explained that Yoda’s odd speech wasn’t about sounding mystical or ancient. It was a deliberate move to make sure people especially kids actually listened. "If you speak regular English, people don’t pay much attention," Lucas said at the TCM Classic Film Festival. "But if the words come out differently, if it's a little strange, it forces you to concentrate on what’s being said."

RSC’s 'Much Ado About Nothing' falls flat with awkward modern makeover

Although it is in vogue to create daring or outlandish interpretations by decontextualising original works, the jury’s still out regarding how effective many of these servings actually are. This applies equally to Stratford’s RSC’s recent outputs – including King John and Macbeth – both of which were problematic from a traditional or puritan perspective.

Their latest production of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Michael Longhurst, is no exception. The production is – at best – a mediocre comedy that raises a few titters and – at worst – an exceptional disappointment.

Martin Scorsese joins Neeraj Ghaywan’s ‘Homebound’ as executive producer ahead of Cannes 2025 premiere

Legendary director Martin Scorsese has come on board as the executive producer for Homebound, the second feature film from Neeraj Ghaywan. The movie, featuring Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa, will have its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section.

Scorsese’s involvement is a major moment for Indian cinema. He first noticed Ghaywan after watching his acclaimed 2015 debut Masaan, which also premiered at Cannes and won two major awards. When Melita Toscan du Plantier introduced him to Homebound, Scorsese was immediately drawn to its story and cultural depth. “I loved Neeraj’s first film, and when I read this new project, I felt I had to support it. It’s a beautifully crafted film and an important contribution to Indian cinema,” Scorsese said in a note shared by producer Karan Johar.
