took to social media to call out a crew member for invading
Shraddha Kapoor
's privacy.
The actress expressed her disappointment over the incident and urged people to respect personal boundaries.
Shraddha was recently spotted travelling with her rumoured boyfriend, writer Rahul Mody.
While the couple was seated together on a flight, an airline crew member secretly recorded a video of them. In the clip, the actress was seen showing something on her phone to Rahul as they chat. The crew member, smiling at the camera, then turned it toward the couple. The video, which went viral on social media, ended with a close-up shot of Shraddha.
Responding to one of the videos, Raveena Tandon criticized the incident in the comment section, calling it a total invasion of privacy. She stressed that it's important to ask for consent before filming anyone. The 'Mohra' actress wrote, "This is a breach of privacy. The crew should know better than to do this. Consent must be taken. Not expected from crew members to do this."
The viral video sparked mixed reactions online.
While some viewed it as a fan moment, others criticized it as a clear violation of privacy.
Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor recently posted a fun video of herself showcasing quirky dance moves. In the clip, netizens noticed Rahul Mody in the background, capturing her on camera. The Stree actress captioned the video, "Who maykal can stop my bhankas (Who can stop my nonsense)???"
Shraddha and Rahul were first seen together publicly at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebration in
Jamnagar
last year.
For those who may not know, Rahul Mody is the writer of films like 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2,' 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,' and 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,' which starred Shraddha Kapoor and
Ranbir Kapoor
. He and Shraddha reportedly met during the shoot of 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,' where their friendship gradually blossomed into a relationship.

Stolen actor Shubham Vardhan: ‘The tendency to be safe has stagnated the film business, everything appears to be a copy of each other'

After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Stolen travelled to nearly 40 festivals before releasing on OTT. Its producer Gaurav Dhingra, director Karan Tejpal and lead actors Abhishek Banerjee and Shubham Vardhan talk about its making; balancing craft with social commentary; and the contemporary eco-system for indie cinema. The trigger for making Stolen is the 2018 Karbi Anglong incident in which two men were lynched as 'child kidnapping' rumours circulated on social media. Why did you think of developing this as a feature film? Karan Tejpal: It came as a shock to me that you can be so unjustly accused of something you haven't done. I was surprised that nearly 5,000 people can collect within minutes and brutally lynch you. They were assumed to be child kidnappers on the basis of how they looked. One of them had long dreadlocks and they were driving a big car. When I dug deeper into the incident, I came across how technology was used. Such incidents are what's called 'WhatsApp lynchings' since a message can be transmitted to thousands of people through WhatsApp. This case came to the limelight due these brutal videos which were doing the rounds. From 2015 to the time that the pandemic swept the world, there were about 300 such cases in different parts of India. It started as the unpeeling of this phenomenon and wanting to understand why and how (such incidents are taking place). Being a writer and filmmaker, in a couple of years, the idea of giving shape to a story came up. It crystallised into becoming a film when I met Gaurav. Making a film and telling it a certain way is a cathartic experience. I experienced such fear when I heard about such incidents and the injustice that can take place and no one is held responsible for it. I heard about this incident in 2018 and I started writing in 2020. I shot the film in 2023. How did Abhishek Banerjee come on board? Abhishek: My mind was blown when Karan and Gaurav (Dhingra) shared their idea. In the first meeting itself I decided to do the film. Their pitch was simple: we are trying to make this road film. The initial idea was to make a single-take movie and create that kind of chaos through the journey. Apart from the story, I was very interested in the way they were thinking of making the film. I thought let's get the emotions and script right and go ahead. Karan: We thought of Abhishek very early on because there are not many actors who are doing realistic performances the way he does. He has a control hold over his craft. He can control his pitch even when others are hamming their way through in Stree (2018). Shubham's performance is very much from his gut while Abhishek is from the mind. Gaurav Dhingra: The production crew had many first-timers. They were handpicked and came together because they believed in the film. Abhishek and Shubham, you are playing brothers in Stolen–you are both from Delhi's Kirori Mal College and you know each other for a long time. Shubham Vardhan: We were obviously comfortable since we know each other. At the same time, it was a little difficult since you can't hide your tricks because we know each other so well. In Mumbai, we want to do good and off-beat work but that kind of project doesn't come our way. It is rare to get the opportunity to work with like-minded people as well as to work on a project that gives importance to craft and story. Abhishek: We could laugh at each other and tell each other when something was going wrong. That's not easy. If you are working with co-actors with whom you don't have chemistry and you cross the line, they might feel bad. It is not about ego but all actors are insecure. Shubham: We have had a common language for nearly 15 years. So, we can communicate with each other with ease. The film carries a social commentary but is also nuanced. How do you achieve that balance? Karan: Genre is mainly about craft and helps in making choices. More than social commentary, my idea was to present how I saw the world. We never thought about preaching or pamphleteering. We were telling the story of characters and real people what could happen if they had an experience like this. If you have a certain perspective of the world, it should automatically reflect in your work. Gaurav: We wanted the film to be accessible and engaging for everyone. In the age of the internet, what is engaging is commercial. Even though Stolen was screened at about 40 festivals, why did you not release it in theatres? Gaurav: Our focus was that we are making a global film. After its Venice Film Festival premiere in 2023, various distributors wanted to buy the film. It was not sold in India. Had it been released in France or Germany first, in no time it would have been pirated. We wanted all theatrical releases to come together in four months and then go to OTT. Or, we wanted a global deal that would release the film at one go. The Amazon Prime Video deal came in. The four executive producers, Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Nikkhil Advani and Kiran Rao joined us. Abhishek: When you are trying to do something disruptive, logic is an important weapon. We did not want that kind of pressure related to the money that you need to raise for marketing in case of a theatrical release and then wonder for how many days the theatres would run it. How would you describe the current ecosystem for independent cinema? Gaurav: The eco-system is not working for independent filmmakers. Part of the reason is that the distribution has crumbled and needs to be innovated. The ticket pricing is high. In the southern part of the country, there is a cap on the ticket prices and marketing budget of a movie. There is a greater need of the exhibition system to have partnership of a different kind with movie makers. Abhishek: Over the years, I have noticed, everyone wants to be safe business-wise. Hence, the manufacturing goes up but creativity goes down. That's the case everywhere. Shubham: The tendency to be safe has stagnated the business. Everything appears to be a copy of each other.

'Replaced After 3 Years': Nushrratt Bharuccha On Being Dropped From Film Without Reason

Nushrratt Bharuccha, known for her roles in films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and Chhorii, may have delivered box office hits, but her journey in Bollywood has been anything but smooth. Despite starring in a Rs 100 crore film, she continues to grapple with the struggle for recognition in an industry often skewed against outsiders. In a recent interview, the actress opened up about the harsh realities of showbiz, including being replaced from a film after three years of commitment, with no explanation and no fault of her own. (News18 Hindi) Bharuccha has spoken openly on several occasions about the discrimination faced by outsiders in the industry. In a recent interview with Youtuber Nayandeep Rakshit, she recalled an incident where she was replaced from a film at the last minute, after being on board for three years. (News18 Hindi) The 40-year-old actress revealed that she wasn't replaced by a star kid, but by an actress who had recently gained popularity. Bharuccha said she felt cheated, especially because she had signed the film when there was no hero, director, or producer attached. 'My situation was a bit different. I was locked. I had signed that film for three years, but it didn't start during that time. Eventually, everything came together. I still have the signed contract lying at home,' she said, choosing not to reveal the film's name. (News18 Hindi) 'Suddenly, the film was on the fast track, they had a good hero, a good director, and everything was set. Then I got a call saying, 'We don't want to do this with you anymore'. I was shocked. I had supported the film when no one else was on board,' she shared. (News18 Hindi) 5/8 Bharuccha added that while she wasn't replaced by a star kid, the actress who replaced her had simply become a 'popular face' at the time. 'I stood by the subject and the film for three years and still got replaced,' she said. (News18 Hindi) She also spoke about gender discrimination in the industry. She mentioned how male actors get a string of hit offers after just one successful film, while actresses don't enjoy the same trajectory. (News18 Hindi)
