Dr Nilesh Rane, Dj Jenny D, Rakhi Sawant want Veena Malik, Sunny Leone out

 

The Indian Artistes and Actors Forum (IAAF) has got support from various quarters including names like Member of Parliament Dr Nilesh Rane, fire-brand Dj Jenny D, drama queen Rakhi Sawant and many other bollywood producers and directors for its anti-Veena Malik and anti-Sunny Leone stance.

Member of Parliament and General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, Dr Nilesh Rane said, “There are a lot of talented, bold and even controversial Indian artistes who are struggling to make ends meet. I think they should be given a fair chance. I am speaking in my personal capacity and this is my personal view not party view. However, if there is any sort of agitation by the IAAF, I will give them my full support and stand by them.” Rane who is the elder son of Maharashtra Industries minister Narayan Rane came out very strongly against the policy of Tv channels of paying such astronomical sums to persons who probably didn’t deserve the money. “We have so many poor, struggling yet talented actors, singers and artistes. What are the Tv channels doing to promote and support them,” he asked?

Says Rakhi Sawant, “They (the channel and the production house SOL) could have selected any other woman from India. There are so many controversial or bold and outspoken girls like Sambhavna Seth, Kashmira Shah, Dj Jenny D, Poonam Pandey to name a few. Imagine should have chosen them. There are thousands of girls in India who are trying to get roles in films and Tv. Why have they selected a “sattebaaz” who has ruined the name of her own country? Once was probably ok, but now they are doing it again and again. I strongly condemn this move and join the protest.”

Flynn Remedios, publicist and spokesperson for the IAAF said that the IAAF – an informal body of actors and artistes is not against one individual in particular. “We are not against Veena Malik per se. We are against this trend of selecting foreign artistes for common roles in Indian television and films. When certain politicians raised their voice about this, we gave them the cold shoulder, but now the time has come for every Indian artiste to get up and take a stand. Thousands of Indian girls go through hell trying to get a bit role in a TV serial or a film. These production houses and channels must understand the sentiments and feelings of thousands of Indian artistes. Veena Malik is no great or unique actor or artiste. Sunny Leone is a porn star. What USP do Veena Malik and Sunny Leone bring to such shows? Are we trying to send out a message to our youth that being a porn star is a commendable thing?

The channels are trying to stir up controversy and increase their own TRPs. We will ask all patriotic Indians and Indian companies to stop watching or supporting such shows This is our action plan for now. We will also approach the courts at a later date if the channels do not relent.”

The IAAF has launched a protest on their Facebook page facebook.com/Indian.Artistes.Forum and is in the process of enlisting support online.

 

 

Porn-star Sunny Leone paid Rs 3 crore for guest appearance in Bigg Boss 5?

 

Canadian porn star of Indian origin Sunny Leone has confirmed to http://www.mumbaiwire.in that she is indeed travelling to Mumbai. While she did not specifically say that she was coming to Mumbai for Bigg Boss 5, her clarification lends credibility to reports circulating in the media that Sunny Leone will be part of Bigg Boss 5. A source from the channel colors told http://www.mumbaiwire.in that Sunny Leone was being paid Rs 3 crore (all inclusive) to make a guest appearance in the Bigg Boss house. Channel authorities were unavailable for comment and the Corp Comm department of Colors did not reply to our messages asking for a clarification.

According to the Times of India report, “Sunny Leone, who was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and was under a contract for Vivid Entertainment, has been roped in to be the international celebrity on the reality TV show. 

If Bigg Boss 5 was not a controversial magnet already, the reality TV show is about to garner far more eyeballs. The same show which got all the men’s jaws dropping when Pamela Anderson entered the house will now reportedly open its doors to adult film star, Sunny Leone. A source informed Mumbai Mirror that the actress will be welcomed into the Bigg Boss 5 house this weekend. 

According to the source, there were rumours that Mike Tyson would be the international celebrity invited to the Indian version of Bigg Boss season 5. However, the Indian-Canadian adult film actress, Sunny Leone, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, has finally been selected. 

The source explained, “There are two single men – Akshdeep Saigal and Siddarth and one married man – Amar Upadhyay, who are currently in the house. Sunny’s entry into the house will definitely help to generate some drama and excitement for viewers.” 

The source informed us that Sunny was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and was under a contract for Vivid Entertainment. She was also named one of the top 12 X-rated actresses in 2010. “She is one of the most talked about adult film actresses, who began her career with mainly homosexual roles before she started doing roles opposite men in 2008. Incidentally, there were also rumours that Mohit Suri had offered her a role in his film Kalyug. Apart from many adult films, Sunny has done quite a few mainstream films as well. Sunny will be arriving into the country tonight,” added the source. 

When contacted, the channel refused to comment.”
