Who is Ruchi Gujjar? Actress booked for hitting producer with her sandal at Solang Valley premiere
Ruchi Gujjar, an emerging actress and model, is making waves online following a dramatic episode at the premiere of the film Solang Valley. After grabbing attention at Cannes 2025 with a necklace showcasing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face, she is now in the spotlight for reportedly assaulting producer Karan Singh with her sandal amid a Rs23 lakh financial dispute. The incident has gone viral, leaving many wondering who she is and what triggered the heated confrontation. Who is Ruchi Gujjar? Actress booked for hitting producer Ruchi Gujjar is an Indian actress and model hailing from Mehara Gujarwas village in Rajasthan. A graduate of Maharani College in Jaipur, she belongs to a traditional Gujjar family where women rarely pursue careers in entertainment. After being crowned Miss Haryana 2023, she shifted from modeling to acting and gained popularity through music videos such as Jab Tu Meri Na Rahi, Heli Mein Chor, and Ek Ladki, in which she appeared with actor Aman Verma. At the 78th Cannes Film Festival, she made headlines for wearing a striking necklace featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face, complemented by a traditional Rajasthani gold lehenga and Bandhani dupatta. Why did Ruchi hit the producer at Solang Valley premiere? On July 24, 2025, Ruchi Gujjar lodged an FIR at Mumbai's Oshiwara Police Station, alleging that producer Karan Singh Chauhan and the So Long Valley team defrauded her of Rs 23 lakh by falsely promising a TV project, a share in profits, and screen credits, all of which never came through. The following day, during the film's premiere, she confronted the producers, slapping and hitting them with her sandal, a moment that was captured on video and quickly went viral. Accompanied by protestors demanding the film's release be halted until she was paid, Ruchi now faces charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including assault, criminal intimidation, and obstruction, according to NDTV. Gujjar's lawyer stated that a separate FIR for assault would be filed against Karan Singh at the Amboli police station. In response to the incident, director Man Singh accused Ruchi Gujjar of orchestrating a 'publicity stunt.' He claimed that Gujjar had previously attempted to halt the film's release, but the court ruled in the makers' favour and allowed it to go ahead. 'Ruchi Gujjar and Karan Singh are well acquainted. If she truly paid any money to Karan for the film, she should present proof. This is nothing more than a publicity stunt,' he added.

Before dying in Kargil, Indian Army soldier chose a bride for his son. This is their story
1 2 Chandigarh: It is often said that marriages are made in heaven but celebrated on earth. For Karan Singh, the son of a Kargil war martyr, his marriage was destined by the Kargil war itself. Before leaving for the battlefield, his father, Havildar Mahavir Singh of 17-Jat regiment, penned what would become his final letter to Karan, who was then undergoing military training as a recruit. In his letter, Mahavir hesitantly revealed that he had chosen a girl, expressing his hope that Karan would marry her after completion of his training. Though Havildar Mahavir Singh was martyred in Kargil, Karan honored his father's dying wish. He sought out the girl his father had chosen—and married her. Today, the couple Karan Singh and wife Sudesh Boora are happily married for around 24 years. Interestingly, the couple's both children, Apoorav Boora and Anjali Boora are into their graduation and preparing for the officer's entry examinations for armed forces. Karan's father, Mahavir Singh had attained martyrdom even when Karan was to complete his basic military training. In his last letter posted in April 1999 to his son, Mahavir Singh had written, "I am writing this letter, as you had requested of me. Don't worry about me, my son, I have reached my unit safely. Please take care of yourself during the training. If you don't mind, I wanted to share with you that I have finalized a girl for your marriage. But don't worry, we will not marry you till you complete your class-XII. Please keep on writing at home, your grandmother always worries about you. Complete your training with concentration and zeal. Don't bother about anyone at home, all are happy". At that time, Karan was a recruit in "Multan Coy" in the Jat regiment's training Centre at Bareilly. The letter was written by Mahavir Singh, a Havildar posted with the 17-Jat regiment, on April 16, 1999. After the war broke out in 1999, Havildar Mahavir's unit moved to Mushkoh Valley in Kargil. His unit was assigned the task to push the enemy out from Pimple-II complex (Point 4875). In the fierce battle, Mahavir had lost his life on July 5, 1999 in a fierce battle. A total of 34 men including two officers of the 17-Jat regiment lost their lives in Kargil. Havildar Mahavir Singh was conferred with Sena Medal (SM) for his gallant act. At that time Karan Singh had not completed his military training. According to Karan, he was given special leave from the training to perform the last rites of his father. Later, Karan left the army to take care of his mother and younger brother. He is now running a petrol pump near Hisar cantonment, which was allotted by the government to honour the next of kins of soldiers killed in action. According to Karan, he took the words written by his father as his last wish and on inquiry found Sudesh whom his father wanted him to marry in Karsindhu village in Jind district. After two years of his father's death, he married the same girl in 2001. Girl's father was not in the army, but her maternal uncle was known to Havildar Mahavir Singh. Karan's wife informed that she was not aware about the fact that her father and her father-in-law had any kind of discussions about her marriage as she was very young at that time. "If it was destined, I am proud that I was married in this family. We are preparing both our children for the armed forces," Sudesh added.

7 held for performing bike stunts on Parvati River bank
Jaipur: Police in Dholpur Thursday arrested seven youths who were filming social media reels on the overflowing banks of the Parvati River during the monsoon, ignoring repeated warnings to stay away. Officers said the youths, many of them students from nearby villages, were performing bike stunts and even stepping into the river to catch fish, putting their own lives and those of others at risk. They were booked for disturbing peace and creating chaos. A senior police officer said the crackdown followed a series of recent mishaps. Last week, four youths entered the swollen river and were swept away; three were rescued while one drowned. "We have been continuously patrolling the area, but these seven ignored warnings and were busy performing stunts and catching fish," the officer said. In recent weeks, youngsters across the district have been flocking to overflowing rivers, ponds, and waterfalls to shoot videos, often standing dangerously close to strong currents. Acting on reports of such activities, a team from Sepeu police station arrested the seven while they were filming near the Parvati River. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?
