‘Di*kheads need to…': Eisha Singh and Avinash Mishra lash out at Rajat Dalal and Kashish Kapoor, here's why
Bigg Boss 18 has concluded, but the controversies continue! Rajat Dalal and Avinash Mishra clashed several times during the show, and their rivalry persists even after its conclusion. Recently, Rajat and Kashish Kapoor made negative remarks about Avinash and Eisha Singh, which left the latter extremely angry. Rajat even mentioned Bhavika Sharma, who was rumored to be dating Avinash while they were in the Bigg Boss 18 house. In response, Avinash and Eisha took to their social media accounts to condemn the controversial statements made by Rajat and Kashish. Why did Eisha Singh and Avinash Mishra slam Rajat Dalal and Kashish Kapoor? Recently, Kashish Kapoor appeared on Rajat Dalal's YouTube channel, The Little Adda Company. During this, Rajat informed Kashish that Bhavika Sharma blocked Avinash Mishra after he and Eisha Singh went on a vacation to Bangkok together. When Kashish questioned, "Bhavika kaun? (Who Bhavika?)" Rajat informed her that Bhavika was Avinash's girlfriend. Kashish quickly questioned Rajat if Avinash had a girlfriend outside when he was in the Bigg Boss 18 house. Rajat informed her, "Haa pehle se hi hai (Yes, he had a girlfriend)." Kashish then asked Rajat, "Eisha kya thi? Voh girlfriend thodi thi voh half girlfriend thi (What was Eisha then? She wasn't a girlfriend but half girlfriend)." After this clip from his podcast went viral, Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh quickly reacted to Rajat and Kashish's negative comments about them. Eisha Singh slammed them for being "obsessed" with her life and wrote, "It's high time some di*kheads need to move on from a show. Instead of clinging to the past like it's all you've got, maybe try focusing on your own life for once do something useful, build a future that isn't stuck in reruns. The obsession is embarrassing. I get that it's hard, but seriously, give it a rest. At least try.#EishaSingh." Take a look at Eisha Singh's tweet here- Avinash Mishra responded to Kashish and Rajat Dalal's comments She criticised them for not moving on from Bigg Boss and highlighted that they are profiting from his name. The actor wrote, "Some dumb heads are still not over BB. I understand taking my name will generate views. Bola tha 'AVINASH MISHRA zindagi bhar naam nahi bhoologe' Anyway mere naam le k ghar chal raha hai Khush raho #AvinashMishra." Take a look at Avinash Mishra's tweet here- Bhavika Sharma is yet to react to this controversy. After Bigg Boss 18, Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh's friendship often made headlines. Meanwhile, Rajat Dalal recently landed in another controversy when he got involved in Elvish Yadav and Prince Narula's feud.

Plagiarism, missing credits, stolen scripts: How Bollywood writers are fighting back against exploitation, malpractice
For Rajat (name changed), a 29-year-old writer looking to get his big break in Hindi cinema, getting a call from a known production house about his story was a big deal. This was right after the pandemic, when the OTT boom had begun. The producers assured his story was ripe for a web series with a major player. Rajat worked for months on the concept, fleshing out a cohesive story, but it did not pan out. "It was disappointing, but not the end of the road," I told myself. Rajat got paid for his work and was told that the story was not working, and hence, the makers had decided to go in a different direction. Imagine his surprise when he came across the trailer for a series on a big platform, some two years later, with the concept of his story, just with the setting and a few characters changed. "I questioned the producers, and they told me that they took the idea and fleshed it out with another writer. I told them it was wrong, and they said I signed off on it," the writer says. He won't go into the illegality of the contract he entered, but Rajat says he didn't fight the producers. "I had gotten more work since then, and did not want to be seen as problematic. What hurt me was that nobody would know that the show was mine. As a writer, the credit being missing hurt." To think this is a stray incident would be trivialising just how rampant missing credits, stolen scripts, and plagiarism are in the Hindi entertainment industry. The emergence of web shows and films on streaming may have democratised stories in the Indian entertainment landscape, but it has also resulted in a corporate-driven boom of malpractice and exploitation. And at the receiving end are the writers. But the fightback has begun, and quite spectacularly so. Two incidents in the month of May raised eyebrows about plagiarism, or rather stealing of scripts, in the Indian entertainment scene. One was the widely reported incident of the Prime Video series Gram Chikitsalay being accused of using a plagiarised script for the show. The matter is sub-judice. Another involved a writer posting their experience of being wronged by an unnamed OTT giant, which used their story without credit. The post has since been deleted. Figures from the Screenwriters Association (SWA) say that during a two-month period last year, the body received 98 such complaints. Encouragingly, more than 60 of these have since been closed. Charudutt Acharya is a veteran screenwriter who has written films like Vaastu Shastra and Dum Maaro Dum, as well as shows such as Crime Patrol and Duranga. Talking about this proliferation of 'stolen' stories, he says, "Old school narration has gone away. There used to be a method where you wouldn't give away the entire plot until you were signed, and narrations took place sitting at a table across from each other. Now, there are so many production houses, and everyone wants the full script with outline and pitch note. Then, there are so many people in the intermediary. Scripts go through too many hands now. The chain of command is too long now. It's easy for some misguided person to 'borrow' a script and make it their own, or give it to someone else." Zama Habib, who has written for TV shows and films for over 30 years, serves as the General Secretary of the SWA. He says the problem of stolen ideas and plagiarism does not always arise from producers. "There are times when some other writer develops an idea originally conceived by some other idea, and the producer omits the credit of the original writer. This can be because the other writer is a bigger name, who may look better on the poster." But writers say that in these rewrites, the other writers are also complicit. "The veterans need to take a stand," says a writer on the condition of anonymity, "I once requested a veteran writer who was hired to 'change' my script, to request the producers to keep my credit. But they said I hadn't done enough work to make that demand. That sort of attitude does not help." In the West, the Writers Guild of America famously went on strike in 2023, bringing Hollywood to its knees. The strike was joined by top Hollywood stars, and the studios, facing losses in the millions, buckled. One may ask why that wouldn't work in India. For one, there is no similar union for writers in India. The closest a body comes to the WGA is the Screenwriters Association of India (SWA), a writers' body that has been attempting to solve these issues. Preeti Mamgain, a writer who has worked on TV shows like Everest and Aasman Se Aage and the film Mohen Jo Daro, is also the President of the SWA's Dispute Settlement Committee. She explains what has changed, 'There were times when writers entered into contracts, shouldn't even call them contracts, actually, but writers sold their stories and scripts for as low as Re 1. People used to believe the producers were doing me a favour by making a film on my stories. In the last two decades, the avenues for writers have opened up. Now, writers have a choice.' The SWA has negotiated several cases wherein producers have been forced to acknowledge the writers' work and even pay them damages. "There have been several cases, some that came to the limelight and others that were settled out of court. But in those cases, producers and corporates paid writers big amounts of money. Due to that, producers have become more aware. Even writers are more aware of signing contracts and MoUs. The contracts may still be a little one-sided, but that can still be contested later," Preeti adds. Through its Dispute Settlement Committee, the SWA has established a procedure to analyse these allegations, wherein scripts are studied by impartial experts, and a report is made comparing the two drafts. This report analyses the story, the plot points, the tone, the characters, and even subtle things like the highs and the lows. It is an attempt to make a subjective art of storytelling as scientific as possible. The involvement of a body like the SWA largely works in getting the producers to toe the line, writers say. A writer informs about a film script they wrote for a small production house. After they were told to rewrite, the writer asked for money based on the work done so far, and was told to take a hike, albeit in not-so-polite terms. They approached the SWA and were assigned a lawyer by the body. Within a week of that, the money came into their accounts, and their credits were restored. But bigger production houses don't spook easily, writers agree. Zama Habib says, "In such cases, where courts are the only recourse, we even provide the writers with legal help, up to a certain amount. But the onus is on the writers to fight that battle. Many choose to, and such cases have come in the news as well. But even today, many writers don't choose to go ahead. In a country like India, where copyright is constitutionally protected, the legal fight will always favour you if you are right. But, the fear of a long legal battle deters many." Habib notes that often, courts have taken into cognisance SWA's analyses of scripts, which gives not just credibility to the organisation as an arbiter, but also confidence to the writers. Yet, it's a long road ahead!

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin: Savi falls into a deadly trap
The latest episode started with Tara assuring Bhagyashree that Rajat must have saved some secret savings. She said that she would talk to Bhaskar in order to get more understanding and didn't want Bhagyashree to worry about the money, assuring her to investigate the issue herself. Savi became more worried while fully aware of the fact that time was passing away. Before departing, she left the responsibility of taking care of Kiaan in the hands of Bhagyashree. Meanwhile, Neil told Jeetu that the same fake rubies were found with Rajat and Teju too. While it looked like a key lead, Neil confessed he hadn't put two and two together yet. Neil also said Manjrekar had established the two victims were in touch with each other through messages prior to their deaths. Shortly after that, Neil got a call from Manjrekar asking him to meet. Jeetu reasoned that Teju's problems may be connected with her involvement with Rajat. But Neil promptly cautioned him against jumping into conclusions. Jeetu went further, even going so far as suggesting Savi might have killed because of emotional upheaval regarding her husband. Neil firmly put an end to the thought. In the meantime, Savi went to Bhaskar at the workplace and asked about Rajat's insurance documents, which she could not locate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning For Working Professionals. BITS Pilani WILP Apply Now Undo She inquired whether Rajat could have kept anything safe. Bhaskar further disclosed that Rajat had had a personal locker in his room. Clinging to hope, Savi hurried to rummage around the room and attempted to open the locker. After making a few unsuccessful tries, she looked at a wedding photo and attempted to use their wedding anniversary as the password. To her relief, the locker opened. She discovered a Lord Ganesha statue, a key, and a locker number inside. She prayed to Bappa asking for the clue to find the lost necklace. With Neil and Jeetu back together, tensions rose. Neil blamed Jeetu for betraying his trust by misinterpreting facts. Neil canceled Jeetu's access to his current location and confessed it was wrong to have shared confidential information with a person who never completely trusted Teju the way he trusted him. Savi then proceeded to the bank and opened the locker associated with the key. She discovered a ripped Swiss currency note inside. At this moment, Maruti called and invited her to Gandhi Chowk. With a distressed heart, she prayed for the safety of Ridhi and departed. Meanwhile, Srichand's son attempted to comfort Bhagyashree, vowing to support her completely even if he could not make her feel any better. Bhagyashree commended Srichand for bringing up such a thoughtful son. Srichand, in a secret phone call, inquired about his assistant if Savi was coming. The man replied that she was indeed coming, saying that she had fallen into their trap. Later, Srichand's son expressed guilt for not being there during Ridhi's difficult days. Tara suggested he could make it up by joining her in the US. She also pointed out that Ridhi hadn't contacted them since leaving, clearly disapproving. Srichand defended Ridhi, insisting she wasn't irresponsible. Savi later encountered Maruti and implored him not to hurt Ridhi. Maruti ridiculed her distress and issued a sinister ultimatum: in order to save the life of Ridhi, she would have to assume Rajat's former position in his nefarious dealings. Meanwhile, Nitin asked Neil about developments in the probe. While Neil remembered most crucial findings, he consciously refused to refer to the counterfeit rubies. Returning with Maruti, he loaded the pressure on. He asserted that Rajat had handled all their illicit money dealings and profited goodly from them. Savi was aghast, not wanting to believe Rajat was doing anything illicit. Maruti added that Rajat had even opened a company in her name that was used for money laundering before it was closed down. Savi categorically refused to do anything illegal. Maruti then made a terrifying threat — Ridhi would be cut into pieces if she did not comply. Savi was at her wit's end and pleaded with him to leave Ridhi alone. Maruti allowed her some time to think and left. Shaken and alone, Savi promised not to let herself be tricked and vowed to do everything to save Ridhi. Later, Neil informed Nitin that he had checked Rajat's vehicle but found nothing. Nitin mocked Neil's lack of progress, prompting Neil to remind him that the case was reassigned because Nitin couldn't solve it either. Neil walked away, visibly frustrated. The episode ended on a terrifying note. Savi received a parcel—inside it was Ridhi's bloodstained dress, confirming the grave danger Ridhi was in.

Rajat Patidar Injury Update Rajat Patidar suffered a finger injury during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) match against Chennai Super Kings, right before the league was temporarily halted. However, RCB's Director of Cricket, Mo Bobat, offered an encouraging update on Patidar's recovery during a recent pre-match press conference. Bobat revealed that the right-handed batter had resumed batting in practice sessions and is progressing well. 'Rajat is recovering nicely. He picked up a hand injury, but the league's suspension allowed him some extra time to heal and reduce the swelling. He's been easing back into training and has batted in the last few sessions,' said Bobat. The 31-year-old has played a key role in RCB's middle order this season. In 11 matches, he has scored 239 runs at an impressive strike rate of 140.59, making him a vital asset in the team's batting lineup. His return to fitness will be a welcome boost for RCB as the tournament enters a crucial phase.
