These two women got there husbands killed and the society is shaken. Then there are women who are burnt alive every other day. If not burnt alive, then the lives that they live with their husbands are worse than any death. They are beaten every day. Then the society is not outraged?'

Do auroton ne murder kiye toh chauk para aur itne barso se jo mard uspe zaarti kar rahe hain aur aaj bhi kat rahe hain uspe uski joo nahi rengti (What a shameless society! Two women were murdered, so they are shaken, but what about the years of injustice that men commit against women? No outrage on that)? If they did kill so soon after their marriage then find out whether they were forced into marriage or not. It is easy for a woman from a small town in India to say no to marriage? Can she say that?' On June 2, Raja Raghuvanshi's body was found in a deep gorge close to a waterfall in the Sohra area, also known as Cherrapunji, within the East Khasi Hills district. Sonam Raghuvanshi surrendered a few days later.

Russell Crowe remembers shooting Gladiator at Mediterrane Film Festivals Festive Awards ceremony
Washington DC [US], June 30 (ANI): Actor and film director Russell Crowe made a surprise appearance at the Mediterrane Film Festival's Golden Bee Awards, returning to the island where he shot "Gladiator" more than two decades ago, reported Variety. "If you want to know what I love about Malta, it's everything," said Crowe, who was given the Malta Film Legend Award. "26 years ago, in a funny way, I became a man in Malta," he said, "For whatever films I had done before then, nothing had the majesty, ambition and budget and ultimately reach of 'Gladiator.' It wasn't an easy production. I had to fight every day for the integrity of the character I was playing, just like the journey of the character himself in the movie. And sometimes, you get lucky enough to make something that resonates with people." Crowe talked about a young man who asked him for a photo last week while he was travelling in Italy. "I shook his hand and he started to cry. His friends told me later he's the head lifeguard of the local beach, he's got muscles on they'd never seen him like that. I ended up hugging him. When he got himself together, he said, 'You don't understand, when I was 8 years old, my mother sat me in front of a TV and put on a videocassette of "Gladiator" and told me, 'If you are ever wondering what type of man your mother expects you to be, it's this type of man.' The honor, the integrity, the faith - a man made in Malta," reported Variety. "I did so much research before I got here," she said, "It's rich with history." Ferreira's upcoming projects include "Mile End Kicks," which is premiering at TIFF, and she said she enjoyed playing a music journalist who is "an insufferable girl, which is always the best part." 'The Last Emperor' producer Jeremy Thomas received the Lifetime Achievement award, while Pierre Agius and Joseph Formosa Randon were honoured with the Career Achievement awards for their extensive location work on films shot in Malta. The festival's top Golden Bee award for best feature film went to Tunisia's "Where the Wind Comes From," with the film's star Eya Bellaga winning best performance. Julio Medem won best screenwriting for his film "8," which also received the Jury's Choice award. The Mare Nostrum award went to "Miyazaki: Spirit of Nature," reported Variety. While the festival welcomed numerous industry guests to network, screen their recent work and check out famous film locations on land and by boat, locals and industry members alike turned out for outdoor screenings of several films shot in Malta, from "Popeye" and "Troy" to "Gladiator II," "Clash of the Titans" and the classic "Malta Story," reported Variety.
