Raja Raghuvanshi's Family Says 'Life In Danger' Ahead Of Song Release Of Film On Honeymoon Murder
Indore's sensational Raja Raghuvanshi honeymoon murder case, which once gripped headlines across the country, is set to be recreated on the silver screen. Titled Honeymoon in Shillong, the film will depict the sensational crime from Raja's childhood to the events surrounding his fateful honeymoon.
The project recently unveiled its poster, and now a major update has emerged. Raja's brother, Vipin Raghuvanshi, revealed that the film's first song will be launched on September 21, i.e. Raja's birthday. Shooting for the track will begin next week, with 70 percent of the film to be shot in Indore and the remaining 30 percent in Shillong.
According to Vipin, the production will be packed with suspense, thriller elements, and a detailed account of true events that the nation has long been curious to see. But while the story moves toward cinematic release, the real-life Raghuvanshi family says they are living in constant fear.
Vipin alleged that unknown people have been showing up at their home daily, claiming connections to Raja. In one alarming incident, a man allegedly posing as a police station in-charge entered their house, gathered personal details about the children and family members, and left.
Raja's father, Ashok Raghuvanshi, said, 'An unknown man has come to the house in disguise. Now we are scared. In such a situation, anyone can come and kill us." The family has since resorted to keeping their gate locked at all times.
Vipin confirmed he is applying for a firearm license to protect the household. 'There is a threat looming over the family, so it has become necessary to keep a pistol," he said. The family has also sought police protection, but says they are now taking independent measures to ensure their safety.

‘I Didn't Decide To Be Born Brown': Indian Man Targeted By Teens In Ireland
A 22-year-old Indian man shared on Reddit about facing racial harassment at a bus stop in Ireland. Teenagers in a car used racist slurs at him. An Indian man claimed on Reddit about being a victim of racial harassment at a bus stop in Ireland. The 22-year-old man shared his ordeal on Reddit and stating that a group of teenagers teased him with racist slurs. 'I'm an Indian male, 22. After I left work and while waiting for the bus, a group of young teenagers in a car called me over. I naturally thought they were asking for directions or something. I went up to the car, and they called me 'hey sweet cheeks." I played along, matched their energy, and said thanks, really appreciated it," the user wrote in the r/IndiansinIreland subreddit. 'Finally, for the third time, they came up from the other side and shouted more racist slurs. They drove off, and when I was boarding the bus, those lads were still there, probably waiting for their next victim who'd give them the reaction they wanted, which I believe I didn't," the post adds further. 'I try to be stoic about things and not let them get to me, but I didn't decide to be born brown. There were two Irish people at the stop with me and another brown guy I don't know, and nobody spoke up. We are on our own when push comes to shove. Stay strong, people," Indian man concluded the post. This is to be noted that no video or photo of the incident was shared and the information is based on the claims made by the Indian man on Reddit. Amid incidents of harassment against Indians in Ireland, Irish President Michael D Higgins on Tuesday 'unequivocally" condemned the 'despicable attacks" against the community. The statement came after a spate of violent attacks on Indians in Dublin and other cities, which the Irish police (Garda) said was 'being fully and thoroughly investigated". 'The recent despicable attacks on members of the Indian community stand in stark contradiction to the values that we as a people hold dear," said Higgins. 'That any person in Ireland, particularly any young person, should be drawn into such behaviour through manipulation or provocation is to be unequivocally condemned," he added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Whatever character I am playing, there had to be a fight sequence," she revealed. Talking about 'Sholay', Hema Malini added, 'There were action sequences in Sholay as well, but they were mostly while going in the tanga (Horse Cart) — the dacoits are all behind me, chasing me. There is a very beautiful chasing scene in the movie. Every scene in the film is a moving shot, nothing is in one place." She said that she will show 'Sholay' to her grandchildren. When asked, 'We are talking about Sholay even after fifity years. You have grandchidren. Have they seen Sholay.?" Hema Malini replied, 'I don't think so, but now that it has completed fifty years, I will show it to them. I will make them sit in my house one day and watch it in mini theatre, definitely." She also shared that initially she was unhappy with her role in Sholay as she thought it was a small role compared to her earlier hit films like 'Sita and Geeta'. 'When 'Sholay' was offered to me, after making 'Seeta Aur Geeta', the same director, Ramesh Sippy told me, 'So many other characters are there and you are also one of them.' So I was feeling a little disappointed, thinking, 'Why only small role for me? Why not a bigger role?'" she revealed. However, later the filmmaker informed that her role would have a huge impact, insisting her to accept the role. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
