Television actress Navina Bole accuses Sajid Khan of inappropriate behaviour
Television actress Navina Bole, known for her role in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah , has publicly accused filmmaker Sajid Khan of sexual harassment. In a recent interview, Bole recounted a traumatic experience from over a decade ago when Khan allegedly asked her to strip during an audition. Speaking with Subhojit Ghosh, Bole recalled the incident that took place around 2004-2006. She explained, "There was a terrible, terrible man... he just really pushed the envelope when it came to disrespecting women," referring to Khan. Bole claimed that Khan called her to his home, not his office, for what she thought was a professional meeting. However, during the meeting, Khan allegedly asked her to "take off her clothes and sit in your lingerie." Bole expressed discomfort with the request, saying, "I really need to go home and get into a bikini if that is what you really want to see, but I cannot be sitting here and strip right now." Despite her discomfort, Bole managed to leave the situation, and Khan reportedly called her several times afterward, asking why she wasn't returning. She also revealed that a year later, Khan contacted her again, offering her a role and seemingly forgetting their previous encounter. Bole said, 'This guy must be hitting on so many women that he does not even remember that one year ago he had called me to his place and he has already hit on me so badly." These recent allegations are part of a larger pattern of accusations against Sajid Khan that first came to light during India's #MeToo movement in 2018. Several women, including actress Saloni Chopra and journalist Karishma Upadhyay, have accused Khan of harassment. In response to the allegations, Khan stepped down from directing Housefull 4 and was suspended by the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) for one year after an investigation.

Studies Show Breakthroughs in Male Contraception, Including First Male Contraceptive Hydrogel
By GlobeNewswire Published on April 26, 2025, 20:00 IST LAS VEGAS, April 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Groundbreaking research presented at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting in Las Vegas is ushering in a new era for men's reproductive health. Among this year's highlights are the initial safety results from the first-in-human trial of ADAM™, an innovative hydrogel developed as a reversible, non-hormonal male contraceptive. Additionally, new findings reveal that GLP1-agonist medications, commonly used for weight management and diabetes, are associated with improved sperm counts in overweight and obese men. Together, these studies represent significant advances in both male contraception and fertility, offering hope for expanded options and improved outcomes for men worldwide. Researchers will present their study findings covering important updates on fertility and contraception from April 26 to 29. Raevti Bole, MD, a men's health urology specialist at the Cleveland Clinic, posed in-depth questions to the abstract authors, providing key insights into their research. 'These exciting studies presented at AUA2025 reflect new possibilities in male fertility and contraception research,' Dr. Bole said. 'For the first time, we're seeing promising safety results from a reversible, non-hormonal male birth control that may fit the needs of couples who need a secure contraceptive option but are not ready for something permanent. There is also some new evidence that GLP1 agonists could have additional benefits for fertility in men who are taking the medication for weight or diabetes management. Together, these findings may represent novel paths towards men's reproductive health and safe, effective family planning.'
