After Salman Khan contracts Dengue, BMC conducts an inspection at his Bandra apartment to locate mosquito breeding spots

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) carried out an inspection at Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra’s Galaxy Apartments to locate possible mosquito breeding spots on Sunday. The inspection was carried out a day after Salman Khan was diagnosed with dengue. A group conducted the investigation of the opulent apartment along with six other buildings located along the same road in Bandra.

Elaborating about the drive, a report by The Free Press Journal reported BMC Pesticides Department Officer Rajendra Naringrekar said, “Dengue larvae were spotted at two spots in the Galaxy premises. But no larvae were found at Khan's home."

When the publication asked if the BMC has sent a notice to the Galaxy society over mosquito menace, the officer clarified saying, “We don't send notice to societies instead we forward it to homeowners if larvae is found in their house.” The official explained that the civic body issues three types of notices based on the action required. 

“In the first category, we inform residents that there are mosquito breeding spots (in their homes), which they need to destroy within a week. We initiate legal action against those who don't comply.” Meanwhile, in the second category, notices are sent if breeding spots are spotted in the society's water tank. In the third situation, the official word is forwarded to those who excavate illegal borewells or construct a water fountain.

For the unversed, earlier this week, Salman Khan had contracted dengue. Due to this, he took a short break from his ongoing projects including filming for the reality show, Bigg Boss. Talking to Hindustan Times, Khan’s manager had shared that Bhai is recovering well and will start shooting after Diwali. On Tuesday, Salman was snapped at the birthday bash of his brother-in-law and actor Aayush Sharma.

Talking about the film, Deshmukh will helm the movie as a first-time director. The Marathi feature film is slated to release on December 30.  A couple of weeks back, Deshmukh had discussed making his directorial debut with PTI. He was quoted saying, “This (direction) is something I was attracted to for many years but didn’t dare to do it because I was acting. In the last three-four years, I was trying to figure out.”

Vaishali Takker suicide case: Rahul Navlani blackmailed to leak her intimate pictures, reveals Nishant Singh Malkani

The name of TV actress Vaishali Takker hit the headlines after she was found dead in her apartment. While the investigation is still underway, a few of her loved ones are coming forward and revealing shocking details related to her death. Recently, Vaishali’s co-star Nishant Singh Malkani has also broken his silence.

She was in a depression. She had consulted a psychiatrist.”

Elaborating, Malkani said, “I now realise the magnitude of her problem, when I get to hear things such as Rahul wanting to show their intimate pictures to her to-be husband. Intimacy happens if you are in a relationship, but that does not mean that you threaten to share those moments with anybody else if you break up.”

The Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega actor went on to reveal, “It was a very toxic relationship. She used to cry so much on the set so many times, kabhi kabhi acting bhi nahi kar pati thi because she was under so much stress and trauma. I used to tell her to ignore him and move on.”

For the unversed, Vaishali Takkar was found dead at her residence in Indore on October 16. The actress left a suicide note accusing Rahul and his wife Disha of mentally harassing her. Rahul was arrested near Indore on October 19 and is currently in police custody.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui responds to NO buyers for his 7 films by OTT platforms; says “Mera kaam hai acting karna. Usske aage main kuch nahin janta”

The honeymoon is over. Major OTT platforms are no more willing and ready to pay astronomical sums to producers to buy feature films that they want to dump on digital without taking the theatre route. The OTT players have seen through the ruse. The hardest hit apparently, is Nawazuddin Siddiqui who has a slew of releases waiting to go on the digital domain.

But no buyers? Says Nawaz, “This is news to me. To be very honest, once I complete a film I don’t keep track of its journey. Mera kaam hai acting karna. Usske aage main kuch nahin janta.”

Nawaz also adds that to him the format of screening is not relevant. “Whether my films are seen on the big screen or at home, I am equally excited about it. There is no difference in my mind between the two experiences.”

What about the fact that the viewership at home is distracted and disrespectful? “Not true,” protests Nawaz. “Sacred Games is my most avidly watched work and the most loved performance of my career. And it’s on the digital platform Netflix. On the other hand, films like The Mountain Man and Raghav Raman where I worked really hard were hardly seen in movie theatres.”

The actress even became vegetarian which was considered to be harmful for her health because she was weak. Janhvi was quoted saying, “It was long ago I remember staying in our Juhu house, papa was smoking a lot. I think it was around the time of No Entry, Wanted, and every morning, me and Khushi would find new ways to destroy his cigarette packets. So, either we'd go and cut up his cigarettes or I'd open it and put toothpaste on it. Nothing worked, and Mom would also keep fighting with him. She became vegetarian. She said I won't eat non-veg till you stop smoking and the doctors were like no you are too weak. You need to eat more, and she was like no. And Papa would beg her.”

Janhvi went on to add that it was her mother’s sudden demise that led to Boney Kapoor give up smoking. Speaking about how her demise had forced Boney to give up on the bad habit, Janhvi added, “Four-five years ago, he was just like she wanted me to stop. I couldn’t do it then. I’ll do it now,” Janhvi added. Readers would be aware that the nation woke up to the shocking news of Sridevi’s demise on February 24, 2018 after the actress reportedly drowned in the bathtub of one of the plush hotels in Dubai.
