Vijay Sethupathi faces serious casting couch allegations by user Ramya Mohan, deletes post later
Actor Vijay Sethupathi, who is known for his stunning acting in movies like Super Deluxe, 96, Vikram Vedha, Maharaja and Jawan , is reportedly in trouble as he has been accused by a social media user Ramya Mohan for destroying a life of a girl she knows. The post shared by Ramya has been deleted now. In the deleted post, the user alleged that Vijay Sethupathi is involved in perpetuating a toxic culture within the film industry. The words like drugs, manipulation, casting couch practices, and exploitation of vulnerable individuals were involved in the post. The long-deleted post can be read here. 'Kollywood's drug & casting couch culture isn't a joke. A girl I know now a known face in media was dragged into a world she never signed up for. She's now in rehab center. Dr**, manipulation, and transactional exploitation disguised as industry norm. @VijaySethuOffl has offered Rs. 2L for 'caravan favors', Rs. 50k for 'drives' and acts like saint on social media. She was used by him for years. This isn't one story. It's many and the media worships these men like they are saints. The drug-sx nexus is real. Not a joke.' The social media user expressed frustration over the lack of empathy from the public in another post. She said, 'It's insane how some insensitive morons are more focused on questioning the source or blaming the victim than actually acknowledging the truth. This truth hit the family like a storm when they went through her diary and phone chats. This wasn't just some story. This was her life, her pain…' *The post has been deleted now.

Chhoriyan Chali Gaon: Jawan actress Reha Sukheja makes her realityTV debut; says 'I'm focusing on physical fitness and building mental resilience to take on challenges'
Chhoriyan Chali Gaon is going to break the mould as the reality show will take its urban contestants deep into the heart of rural India. In this bold experiment in social dynamics and resilience, eleven independent women will spend 60 days in a village, stripped of modern conveniences, navigating everyday life the desi way. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now At the helm is the ever-popular Rannvijay Singha, whose commanding screen presence, fair leadership, and reality TV legacy make him the perfect anchor for this transformative journey. Among the season's most eye-catching contestants is Reha Sukheja—model, actress, and a true urbanite. Hailing from Hyderabad, Reha first rose to fame as a finalist in a beauty pageant 2010 and later appeared in the pan-India blockbuster movie Jawan. Having graced prestigious runways and carved a niche in fashion and film, Reha now takes a dramatic detour from the glamorous world she's known, stepping into a space where grit outweighs gloss. What sets her apart in this line-up is her honest lack of rural exposure, making her reactions raw, real, and highly relatable. With poise and humility, Reha is ready to swap stilettos for soil and experience a lifestyle far removed from her comfort zone. Speaking about her participation, Reha said, 'I'm really excited to be a part of Chhoriyan Chali Gaon. This concept is so fresh—we've never seen something like this where city girls move to a village. Everything from interacting with the locals to managing daily chores is totally new for me. I've always lived in the city and have no experience of rural life, so I'm curious to see how I'll handle it all. Village chores aren't something you can rehearse in an urban setting, so I'm focusing on physical fitness and building mental resilience to take on whatever challenges come my way. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ' She added, 'Talking about Rannvijay, he's been hosting for 20 years and knows exactly how to balance toughness with fairness. He's the ideal host for a show like this. To all the viewers—this is my first reality show, and I'd love your support and encouragement. Please watch me in Chhoriyan Chali Gaon and shower me with your love.' 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon': Jackie's Girl Goes Rural! Krishna Shroff Joins TV With a Twist

5 Powerful Female-Led Bollywood Films To Watch Before Alia Bhatt's Alpha
Last Updated: Alpha is the first female-led film from YRF's spyverse which features films like War 2, Jawan, Pathaan. Alia Bhatt is gearing up to impress fans with her upcoming film Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail. The action-packed project, the first female-led film from YRF's spyverse, also features Sharvari and, if reports are to be believed, Bobby Deol as the antagonist. Alpha is scheduled to release on December 25. While you count down to Alpha's release, here are 5 female-led Bollywood films you should absolutely watch in the meantime: 1. Mother India The 1957 film is a classic directed by Mehboob Khan. It is about a strong village woman, Radha, who raises her kids alone and stands up for what is right. Nargis totally nailed the role, and the film is still talked about for its powerful storytelling. 2. English Vinglish Sridevi plays a housewife who decides to learn English while visiting New York. It is not just about the language; it is about finding confidence and respect. Remember that cafe scene where she orders coffee so smoothly? Total win. 3. The Dirty Picture The movie shows the bold life of Silk Smitha, played by Vidya Balan. She owns every scene with her fierce energy and confidence. One of the best lines? 'Filmein sirf teen cheezon ki wajah se chalti hain – entertainment, entertainment, entertainment… aur main entertainment hoon." Iconic! 4. Pink This list can not be complete without this hard-hitting courtroom drama with Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu. The moment when Big B says, 'No means no," hits like a punch. It is one of those films that really started conversations. Kangana Ranaut plays Rani, a girl who goes on her honeymoon alone after being dumped. From Delhi to Paris to Amsterdam, she finds herself along the way. First Published: July 25, 2025, 16:58 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
