coffee_rules Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Yes, really!. This is outrageous! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-14877648 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ban for actress Nikhita Thukral over Darshan 'affair' Nikhita Thukral and Darshan (Photo: K Venkatesh) Nikhita Thukral denies any romantic links with Darshan (Photo: K Venkatesh) Indian actress Nikhita Thukral has been banned from appearing in Kannada language films for three years over an alleged affair with another actor. The Kannada Film Producers' Association imposed the ban on Ms Thukral saying she had spoiled the "domestic harmony of a fellow actor". She denies having an affair with the actor, known as Darshan, a popular action hero in southern India. Ms Thukral, from the state of Punjab, said the ban is "ridiculous". She says that nobody ever consulted her to get her version of events. The move comes after Darshan was arrested on charges of domestic violence three days ago, following a complaint from his wife, Vijaylakshmi. She alleged that he had beaten her and threatened her with a gun but she later withdrew the complaint, a police official told the BBC. The argument was reportedly over the alleged affair with Ms Thukral. After his arrest, hundreds of Darshan's fans held protests in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka state, forcing police to use canes to disperse stone-throwing groups. The Kannada Film Producers' Association says that Ms Thukral has created trouble in Darshan's domestic life. "If Nikhita [Thukral] apologises for her behaviour and says she will just work in films and not get involved in domestic affairs of fellow actors, we will withdraw the ban," association president Munirathnam told the BBC. He said it was the first time such a ban had been imposed on an actress adding that "it is a lesson for others". Ms Thukral, who has acted in several Telugu, Tamil and Kannada language films, has consistently denied any romantic links with Darshan. "There's nothing between us beyond a professional relationship. If Darshan has a problem with his wife, how am I responsible," she asked? The association said the actress was free to challenge the ban in a court. Correspondents say that within the film industry, there is opposition to the ban with some members calling it "unprofessional".
ganeshran Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 This is preposterous. Instead of banning the actor who assaulted his wife, they banned the girl with whom he was (supposedly) having an affair with. Come to think of it, they have no right to become the moral police of the industry and trying to encroach into what is actually a criminal case to be handled by the Police
MonishaSarabhai Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 this is too much. why is a film association so concerned about actors' personal lives? and even if they have the right to ban actors... how did they decide that only the woman was to be banned for the alleged affair. how about banning the guy for having a relationship outside his marriage and also abusing his wife? (allegedly)

Desi Cartman Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 After his arrest, hundreds of Darshan's fans held protests in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka state, forcing police to use canes to disperse stone-throwing groups. Hahaha ... Who the hell are these people who'll take a day off to go n protest for something like this ?
f.b.m Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 If a kannada movie plays in a forest and only veerappan watches it, does it really exist?
Silva Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Its easy to make fun of this but a girl has been banned from work and has been publicly humiliated by people claiming she had an affair with a married man without any evidence supporting the claim. Let alone the blatant sexism of banning the singe girl and not the married man. Given the conservative nature of Indians a story like this could literally ruin her life.
Stuge Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Seriously , this is utter rubbish . how does his or her private life affects the association as a whole .Fact is lot of money is at stake on Darshan ,and decisions taken by them reflects that clearly .

rkt.india Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Who the hell is Darshan? I initially thought Darsheel Safari:giggle:
DomainK Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I wonder what are her legal rights. I am sure there is ground fer her to legally retaliate. Affairs are not exactly uncommon in the film industry. Most of them sleep around. One can say it happens a little more frequently in show-biz than in other industries, especially actors do it quite a bit. So I am surprised that she was banned for having an affair with a married man. That should get the whole effin industry banned. Someone influential is screwing around with her here.
