Sacked, driver attempts to rape television actress
Television actress Ekta Tiwari was saved by her friend and neighbours, who came to her rescue on hearing her cries for help
Television actress Ekta Tiwari, best known for her lead role in Tere Mere Sapne, has filed a complaint of attempted rape against her former driver, accusing him of molesting, assaulting and threatening her in her Bhayander flat on Thursday night. According to the Navghar police, Tiwari stays alone at her Naya Nagar flat in Bhayandar and had employed Mira Road resident Sajid Sayyed (26) as her driver three months ago.She fired him a fortnight back, following which he started sending her lewd SMSes and began stalking her.”I required a driver and an acquaintance introduced me to Sayyed. I used to talk to him but never discussed anything personal. However, he must have misunderstood me and thought that I was attracted to him. Sayyed began falling in love with me and started acting weird. I was not comfortable with his behaviour and fired him 15 days ago. This must have hurt his ego,” said Tiwari.Tiwari had warned Sayyed to back off, but he wanted to have an affair with her. On Thursday, Tiwari was at home when Sayyed came to her building. He kept a watch the entire day and, noticing that she was alone, began shouting her name. Scared, Tiwari asked Sayyed to go, but he barged into her house instead and tried to rape her.
Rape attempt “On Thursday, Sayyed barged into my house and grabbed my hand. I warned him to go away but he began kissing me violently. He dragged me to the bedroom and tore my clothes. I ran to the window and shouted, but he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall. I got hold of my mobile phone and dialled the number of one of my friends but Sayyed snatched the phone, dropped it on the floor and pushed me on the bed,” she said. “He was trying to rape me, but my friend and neighbours came there and saved me. They tried to nab Sayyed but he fled, threatening to kill me and them,” said Tiwari. “We are on the look out for Sayyed. He fled the scene when Tiwari’s neighbours heard her cries for help and came to her rescue,” said API M Shivadkar from the Navghar police station, where Tiwari filed the complaint yesterday.

Minissha Lamba blasts her 'Bheja Fry 2' director
Minissha Lamba is miffed with Sagar Ballary, the director of 'Bheja Fry 2' and her forthcoming 'Hum Tum Aur Shabana', who has been reportedly bad-mouthing her.
Shocked and hurt, Minissha feels it is Ballary's attempt to publicise his films.
"I used to consider Ballary a friend. But if by maligning me he is trying to get publicity, then he's hardly a friend," she says.
Minissha also feels this is Ballary's way of getting even with his 'Bheja Fry 2' producer Mukul Deora, with whom Ballary was apparently at loggerheads during the shoot.
Ballary has accused Minissha of shooting a promotional video for 'Bheja Fry 2' behind his back.
Minissha retaliates: "I think I got caught in the cross-fire between Ballary and the producer of 'Bheja Fry 2'. Since he couldn't hurt the producer in any way, he has chosen to make me a scapegoat."
"If the producer asked me to do a video I'd naturally do it. Why was Ballary opposed to it? It's so sad I've done two films with him. I play the title role in 'Hum Tum Aur Shabana'. So how can he threaten to chop off my role?" Minissha asks.
Minissha believes Ballary should have been "more responsible" with his words.
Minissha replies, "I worked in two of his films. I did 'Bheja Fry 2' although I had a small role. I did it for Sagar Ballary. And this is what he does!"
"I can understand him wanting publicity for his film. But at my cost? Not by destroying my reputation," she insists.
"If Sagar Ballary had a problem with me, he could've told me personally about it. It takes years to build a friendship. It takes just a few careless remarks to ruin it," Minissha says.
After Ballary's outburst, Minissha has not bothered to get in touch with him. "What is there to ask him? Does he feel negative publicity would help the film? I've spoken to the producer and he's pretty upset."
Minissha is equally aghast at reports suggesting her rivalry with Pia Trivedi during the making of 'Hum Tum Aur Shabana'.
"Pia is a lovely girl and she has a wonderful role in 'Hum Tum Aur Shabana'. I had absolutely no problems with her during the film," the actor clarifies.
"I am playing the title role, so why should I get insecure? I've worked in a film like 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' which had Bipasha Basu and Deepika Padukone. So what's there to be insecure about?" retorts Minissha.
Katrina goes from ‘Sheila’ to ‘Rockstar’
After grooving to the saucy ‘Sheila ki jawaani’, Katrina Kaif will be seen in a 1970s rockstar avatar in the song ‘Dhunki’ from ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’.Kat, dressed casually in a pair of shorts, a white t-shirt and a bright orange inner, holds a guitar in the song, and looks like a complete rockstar.
The 27-year-old shot for the song at Agra Fort, and a crowd of over 1,000 gathered in no time, according to a source from the sets of the movie, which is being made under the Yash Raj Films banner.
