Yearender 2024: Shocking kidnapping incidents in entertainment industry

The year is about to end, and 2024 has seen more than one could sink, from the entire globe attending the wedding of a businessman's son to the growing craze for concerts. While every other good thing has been happening this year, the last few weeks have been quite tormenting as news of comedians and TV actors getting kidnapped is making headlines. From actors like Sunil Pal and Mushtaq Khan getting kidnapped to Shakti Kapoor and Rajesh Puri escaping the situation, here's a list of such incidents that happened this year. Sunil Pal kidnapping incident Earlier this month, Sunil Pal went missing, and later it was revealed that he was "abducted" in Delhi but has now returned home safely in Mumbai. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Sunil Pal said he was invited to a private birthday party in Haridwar to perform a comedy show, for which he was paid 50 percent in advance. Later, when he reached the city and sat in a car sent by them, he was told that he had been abducted. The comedian added that the kidnappers asked him to pay a ransom of Rs 20 lakh, but he finally paid about Rs 8 lakh for his freedom. Mushtaq Khan kidnapping incident 'Welcome' actor Mushtaq Khan also met the same fate, just like Sunil Pal. In a similar incident, he was invited to Meerut for an event. The advance amount was transferred to his account, and he also received flight tickets from the organisers. Further, he was kept under vigilance for 12 hours, and the kidnappers demanded about Rs 1 crore in ransom. Mushtaq gave them about Rs 2 lakh, and the next morning, Khan managed to escape from the kidnappers' clutches. He later sought help from locals and the police to return home. Rajesh Puri kidnapping incident Saath Nibhaana Saathiya actor Rajesh Puri was another one on the kidnappers' radar. Similar to both incidents that happened earlier, Rajesh was told that there was an event happening, and they transferred an amount of Rs 35,000 into his account along with a return ticket to Mumbai. Rajesh Puri further revealed that he was picked up from the airport and then transferred to another car, which drove out of Meerut, raising the alarm. Puri made the kidnappers believe that he had strong connections in Delhi, which made them uncomfortable, and they offered to dine at a dhaba 12 km away from Meerut. During this pit stop, Puri was informed by one of the kidnappers about what had happened and was asked to leave. This is how he escaped the situation. Shakti Kapoor’s lucky escape The gang that kidnapped Mushtaq Khan also had a plan to abduct Bollywood star Shakti Kapoor, but they failed to do so. We think it is Kapoor's luck. After the police arrested a few in connection with Mushtaq Khan's kidnapping, the investigation revealed that the miscreants were also plotting to abduct veteran actor Shakti Kapoor on the pretext of inviting him to an event. Shakti Kapoor was offered Rs 5 lakh to attend a similar event, but the deal fell through due to a high advance request. This is how Shakti’s luck helped him escape the situation. Gurucharan Singh went missing Gurucharan Singh, known for his role in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, went missing in April. The Delhi Police filed a kidnapping case and launched an investigation. Later, the actor returned, stating that he had left worldly life to embark on a religious journey.

Man's open compalint about the Bryan Adams concert to Zomato CEO

Man pees his pants at Bryan Adams Mumbai concert, writes letter to Zomato CEO

Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams performed in Mumbai on December 13 as part of his tour 'So Happy It Hurts' World Tour. While it was a happy occasion for a lot of his Indian fans, the concert experience turned sour for one attendee. The diabetes patient ended up soiling his pants due to lack of adequate toilets at the venue, and has now written an open complaint to Zomato. Man writes open letter to Zomato CEO A man named Sheldon Aranjo took to LinkedIn to address an open letter to Deepinder Goyal, the CEO of Zomato and the head of EVA Global Events. Aranjo revealed shocking details from the concert and criticised the mismanagement at the concert. Aranjo began the letter with the words, "I PAID TO PEE (in my pants) at the Bryan Adams concert." The entrepreneur elaborated that although the flow of traffic was fine, the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre ensured his bladder's flow was just as good. Sheldon narrated the happenings of that night and wrote that he was in a huge queue to the loo and he knew he would not be able to hold his urine for so long as he is diabetic. So, he went to the pavilion's other side, as someone advised. The entrepreneur mentioned that it was a tough journey across due to the humungous crowd, only to find out that he could access the other loo as those were for the another category and he had a Gold ticket.  Finding no other option, he resorted to peeing under the nearest tree after bumping into many security guards. Finally, he was able to relieve himself but he had soiled his pants and he was not embarrassed or ashamed of it as he is a diabetes patient and has continence issues. Aranjo also attached a picture of his soiled pants. Mismanagement at Bryan Adams' concert He further lashed out at the management and the organisers of the concert by mentioning that there were only two loos for 1000 people. The writer also mentioned that he heard other people mentioning amateur management too. Apart from long queues at the loo, Aranjo pointed out mismanagement of food stalls and unnecessary queues to load cash onto the event invite in this digital age where UPI is the way.   Lastly, he had some advice for the organisers: be more organized before organising such large-scale events involving international artists and don't be in a hurry to launch new event management companies. He termed this letter not as a rant but as a cry for help. This was Bryan Adams' sixth visit to India and he kicked off the tour with a concert in Kolkata on December 8. The singer visited Shillong, Gurugram, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad too.

Diljit Dosanjh

Diljit slams conspiracy theories questioning his love for India

Diljit Dosanjh has been making headlines for his Dil-luminati tour, and recently, the Punjabi sensation performed in Chandigarh and dropped pictures. Later, Diljit received a lot of backlash for spelling Punjab as 'Panjab.' Many said that the spelling is mostly used by the Pakistani side of the region. Meanwhile, some said that he even missed adding the Indian Tricolour emoji in the post. Now, after this backlash, he addressed the 'conspiracy theory.' Diljit slammed people for questioning his love for India On Monday, Diljit Dosanjh took to X and, along with a screenshot of a tweet where he added the Indian Tricolour flag after writing Chandigarh Panjab, penned a detailed note and called out people for questioning his love for the country. The note reads, "PANJAB, kisi ek tweet mein agar PANJAB ke saath India flag mention reh gaya toh conspiracy. Bengaluru ke tweet mein bhi ek jagah reh gaya tha mention karna. Agar Punjab ko PANJAB likha toh conspiracy. PANJAB ko chaahe PUNJAB likho, PANJAB WILL BE PANJAB (If I forgot to mention the India flag with Panjab in one tweet, then you create a conspiracy. I missed mentioning it even in a Bengaluru tweet. If I write Punjab as Panjab, then conspiracy)." 'Hats off to those who are using foreigners' language to push conspiracy theories' "Panj Aab - meaning Five Rivers…Hats off to those who are using foreigners' language (English) to push conspiracy theories. In the future, I will write PANJAB in Punjabi, as in Gurumukhi. You guys won’t stop, I know. So keep going. How many times do we have to prove that we love India? Do something new, or have you been given a task to create conspiracies around me?" he further added. As soon as the actor-singer put out the post, a fan quickly reverted, saying, "Why are you even bothering.. some people have no work to do but to troll!! Life mein sabko explanation dena zaruri nai hai.." To this, Diljit reverted, saying, "Na.. bother shother ni karda mai. Eh vaar vaar tweets kar ke jhoothi gal nu v sach bana dende aa tan counter karna zaruri aa (I don't bother about these things, but repeatedly tweeting false claims makes them seem true, so it's necessary to counter them) (sic)." Diljit dedicated his Chandigarh concert to Gukesh Dommaraju.

Karnataka HC stays FIR against Lucky Ali in land-grabbing case

Singer Lucky Ali, who is known for being the soothing voice behind songs like O Sanam and Na Tum Jano Na Hum, courted controversy following his land dispute with Indian Administrative Service (IAS) Officer Rohini Sindhuri and her kin. Now, the Karnataka High Court has passed an interim order staying the FIR that was registered against the singer, who accused Sindhuri of harassment.  FIR stayed against Lucky Ali  As per Bar and Bench, the court ordered that the FIR be stayed and restrained the police from conducting any probe in the case. Ali alleged that he was harassed by the police given Sindhuri’s status as a senior government officer. The court said that the FIR was based on a complaint by Sindhuri’s mother-in-law. Earlier this year, Lucky Ali had approached the court seeking a quashing of the FIR based on wrongful restraint, intimidation, damage to property, and trespassing.  Lucky Ali alleges encroachment of his farm In 2023, Lucky Ali complained to DG and IGP of Karnataka Praveen Sood over the alleged encroachment of his farmland by the land mafia involving the husband of Sindhuri. He also alleged that Sindhuri was helping the land mafia and misusing state resources. In his complaint, Lucky Ali stated, "I am Maqsood Mahmood Ali. Son of the Late actor and comedian Mehmood Ali. And also known as Lucky Ali. I am currently in Dubai for work, hence the urgency." "My farm which is a Trust Property located in Kenchenahalli Yelahanka is being encroached on illegally by Sudhir Reddy (and Madhu Reddy) from the Bangalore land mafia, with the help of his wife who is an IAS officer by the name of Rohini Sindhuri. They are misusing state resources for their personal gain. They are forcibly and illegally coming inside my farm and refusing to show the relevant documents," Ali alleged.  "My legal counsel is informing me that this is totally illegal and they don't have the court order to come inside the property as we are in possession, and living there since the past 50 years. I wanted to meet you before I left for Dubai, but since you were unavailable, we filed a complaint to the jurisdictional ACP," he said. "I have not had any positive response as yet. My family and small children are alone on the farm. I am getting no help from the local police, who are in fact supporting the encroachers and are indifferent to our situation and the legal status of our land. Dear Sir, I request your help to stop this illegal activity of them trying to prove a false possession before the final court hearing on December 7. Please help us as I have no choice other than to take this to the Public," Ali wrote. The High Court will hear the matter further on December 16.

Samay Raina and Kusha Kapila

Samay Raina invites Kusha Kapila’s ex-husband Zorawar to India’s Got Latent?

Comedian Samay Raina has invited Kusha Kapila's ex-husband, Zorawar Ahluwalia, to appear on the judge’s panel of India’s Got Latent. Raina took to his Instagram stories to reveal Zorawar's name as one of the guests on the judging panel slated to appear on the show. If this comes true, this episode is expected to create quite a stir, as Samay and Kusha Kapila have been in a cold war since his brutal roast about Zorawar and Kusha’s divorce. The guest panel includes several A-listers who are set to appear on Samay's show. These include Zorawar, Farah Khan, Mukesh Chhabra, Ahsaas Channa, Bhuvan Bam, Kr$na, Ashish Vidyarthi, Dalip Tahil, Vishal Dadlani, and more. Samay Raina and Kusha Kapila's Feud Samay Raina was among the panelists on Ashish Solanki's show, where Kusha Kapila appeared as a judge. During Kapila's appearance on the show, Samay made several jokes about Kusha’s divorce and sex life. The jokes were so inappropriate that Ashish had to censor them while posting the video on the YouTube channel. While many called out Samay for his dark comments, several people questioned Kusha for sitting through the jokes. However, Kusha later clarified that she did not approve of the jokes beforehand and sat through the roast as a sign of resilience. Kusha Kapila blocked Samay Raina Kusha later blocked Samay Raina and wrote in her YouTube community notes, “It was done in good faith and for a friend. Nobody has been paid (neither comics nor guests) for it, so the argument that people are ‘being paid big fat cheques to hear their insults’ is baseless." “Jokes weren’t shared beforehand (as it’s done in all roast formats in the West), so I had no idea what was in store for me. Maybe I should have asked for a script and known better, but since friends were involved, I didn’t. Rookie mistake. While I endured some of the really raspy jokes in front of a live audience and technicians, I absolutely was not okay for it to play for millions of people since some jokes straight-up dehumanized me. It was shockingly unkind,” she added. It will be fun to see if Samay will talk about his feud with Kusha Kapila or not.

Who is Venkata Datta Sai? Badminton player PV Sindhu's groom-to-be

Star badminton player and Olympic medallist PV Sindhu is all set to tie the knot later this month. The shuttler will be getting married to a Hyderabad-based software engineer Venkata Datta Sai. The news comes days after she won the Syed Modi badminton tournament, ending her no media drought.  Who is Venkata Datta Sai?  The internet is naturally curious about the groom-to-be ever since the wedding news surfaced. He is currently working at Posidex Technologies in Hyderabad as executive director. He did his diploma in Liberal Arts and Science/Liberal Studies from Foundation of Liberal and Management Education. He completed his BBA Accounting and Finance from Flame University Bachelor of Business Administration in 2018 and then did his Master's degree in Data Science and Machine Learning  from International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore. According to his LinkedIn profile, Venkata worked with JSW both as a summer intern as well as an In-House Consultant. "My BBA in finance and economics pales in comparison to managing an IPL team, but I must admit I learned a lot from both of these experiences," he posted on his account.  From 2019, he has worked as Managing Director for Sour Apple Asset Management while also serving as the Executive Director in Posidex. About the wedding Talking about the alliance, PV Sindhu's father PV Ramana told PTI, "The two families knew each other but it was only a month ago that everything was finalised.

Nargis Fakhri’s sister arrested for murder of ex-boyfriend in New York

Bollywood beauty Nargis Fakhri has found herself making headlines, not for the movies, but for her sister Aliya Fakhri, who was arrested for murder and arson on Tuesday. According to reports, the 43-year-old has been accused of starting a fire in a fit of jealousy that killed her ex-boyfriend and his new female friend.  Nargis Fakhri’s sister Aliya kills ex-boyfriend  As per a report by Daily News, Aliya set a two-storey garage on fire in Queens, New York, killing Edward Jacobs and Anastasia “Star” Ettienne. She was not given bail during her arraignment in Queens Criminal Court. District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement, “This defendant maliciously ended the lives of two people by setting a fire that trapped a man and woman in a raging inferno. The victims tragically died from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries.” Nargis Fakhri’s mother defends Aliya Nargis Fakhri’s mother told the news outlet, “I don’t think she would be killing someone. She was a person who was caring for everybody. She tried to help everybody.” She also revealed her daughter struggled with the addition of opioids after a dental mishap.  A witness at the crime scene said, “We smelled something sweet burning. I don’t know if it was gasoline or what. We ran out and the couch on the stairs was on fire and we had to jump over it to get out. Star jumped over with me but she went back in to save [Jacobs]. It was an abusive relationship. She told everybody [in the past] she was going to burn his house down, that she was going to kill him. We just laughed at her.” Nargis Fakhri’s Bollywood journey so far  Nargis Fakhri made her debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in 2011's blockbuster 'Rockstar', and went on to do films like 'Madras Cafe', 'Phata Poster Nikhla Hero', 'Main Tera Hero', 'Kick', 'Housefull 3'.
