55 legal cases and ₹90 crore debt: How did Amitabh Bachchan rebuild his life?

<p>Former Mumbai Zonal Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Sameer Wankhede, has spoken about the defamation suit he filed against Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment (owned by actor Shah Rukh Khan and his wife, Gauri Khan), over the series 'Ba***ds of Bollywood'.</p><p><br>On the defamation case filed by him against Red Chillies and Netflix, Wankhede said, "My personal belief is that this has nothing to do with my job or my profession. In my personal capacity, I've approached the Delhi High Court. I wouldn't like to comment on the court proceedings or the issues involved, as the matter is sub judice... This is a matter of self-respect, personal dignity, and personal honour."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He added, "Whatever satire or parody you create, do it with your own people or profession. Today, the issue of drug abuse has become a major issue for our nation, and by highlighting such things, you're insulting not just one person, but those who have worked with me, and others who fight against drug abuse... "</p><p><br>Wankhede continued that his fight is for the honour of his family, "My family has nothing to do with my profession. They have nothing to do with my cases, my profession, but why are they feeling the brunt of these kinds of things? Hate messages are coming from Pakistan, the UAE, and Bangladesh. I will not accept that because of me, they are facing the brunt of it... We have regularly informed the police about the threats that my sister and my wife keep getting..."</p><p><br>Sameer expressed his faith in the legal system, saying, ".. I have faith in our judiciary, our constitution and the system of our country. I am a loyal soldier of the government of India. There are numerous checks and balances in our system, and there is a proper rule book, the Constitution, according to which we work. One person does not make the decisions here. Everything has been done in accordance with the rules and regulations. It is not about any publicity; it is about dignity. The kind of hate messages I have been getting, no self-respecting man will remain silent on it. I will fight this legal battle to whatever extent possible. I have presented all the messages in front of the Delhi High Court..."</p><p><br>On October 8, the Delhi High Court issued a summons to Red Chillies Entertainment Private Limited and others in a civil defamation suit filed by Wankhede.</p><p><br>Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav issued a summons (notice) on the plea of Sameer Wankhede against Red Chillies Entertainment and others.</p><p><br>The High Court has asked Red Chillies Entertainment and others to file a reply within seven days.

Bollywood’s upcoming courtroom drama Haq, starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, has hit a legal roadblock ahead of its release. The daughter of late Shah Bano Begum, whose landmark case reshaped India’s personal law debate, has reportedly sent a legal notice to the makers and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), alleging that the film uses Shah Bano’s life story without the family’s consent. The notice, issued by advocate Tousif Z Warsi on behalf of Shah Bano’s daughter Siddiqua Begum, has been addressed to Haq director Suparn S Varma, Junglee Pictures, Baweja Studios, and the CBFC. It demands an immediate halt to the movie’s release, promotion, and certification process. Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan Net Worth: How rich is he?

<h2><br>Who is Pawan Singh, and what has he said so far?</h2><p><br>Pawan Singh is a well-known actor, singer and politician, who has a huge fan following in North India, especially Bihar. Singh and his wife have been embroiled in a legal dispute for years. The actor claims that Jyoti's recent action suggests that she is pressuring him to help her contest elections.</p><p><br>In his press conference, Singh denied the accusations, stating, “Jyoti Singh posted on Instagram that she was coming to Lucknow to meet me. I was aware of her intentions and had informed the administration. We met at the flat with my brothers Hrithik and Dhananjay, while Jyoti was accompanied by her brother and elder sister, Juhi. How I behaved with her — only I, she, and God know that.” He filed for divorce in the Ara Family Court in 2022. However, both of them have reportedly filed several cases against each other.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pawan Singh, also known as Powerstar, is a politician, playback singer, actor, and music composer.

He also works in the Hindi film industry, and has sung popular tracks such as "Aayi Nai" from Stree 2, and "Chumma" from Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pawan had faced several serious allegations. In 2019, actress Akshara Singh filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Singh, alleging threats. Jyoti is Pawan's second wife; he was previously married to Neelam Singh, who died by suicide in March 2015</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Khan recalled, “Even when Kareena and bhai got married, there were lots of strange things – Love Jihad, Ghar Wapsi, all kinds of weird headlines were being made as well. You know, ‘You took one of ours, now we will take one of yours’."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Explaining further, she said, “There’s going to be lots of haters, there’s going to be lots of voices, and that’s also okay.

So I think these things like… interfaith marriage, even when Kunal and I got married…"</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sharmila Tagore has also talked about the challenges she and her late husband faced during their interfaith marriage in the 1960s. In a conversation with Twinkle Khanna, the veteran actress revealed that they got threats. Much similar to Sharmila's case, Saif once revealed that Kareena's father, Randhir Kapoor, received threat letters over the interfaith union. &nbsp;The star couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony in October 2012.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the work front, Soha was last seen in Chhorii 2.</p>

Interfaith marriages are common in the Pataudi household, but not everyone is pleased with this. Actress Soha Ali Khan recently discussed the backlash her family faced regarding interfaith marriages.

Interfaith marriages are common in Saif Ali Khan's household. His father and cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore tied the knot in the 1960s. Decades later, Saif and Kareena Kapoor got hitched, then Soha Ali Khan got married to actor Kunal Khemu after being in a long relationship with him. While interfaith marriages may be normal at Khan's home, they haven’t garnered much appreciation from the conservative part of society, who were quick to slam their decisions. Years after Kareena and Saif's wedding, and her and Kunal's wedding, Soha Ali Khan revealed how people had reacted to the interfaith marriages.

She was asked about interfaith marriage and whether the backlash had affected her. “I don’t think it got to me because I feel like, as long as the people who I love and who I care about and I respect are on the same page as me, it’s okay. There’s going to be lots of haters, there’s going to be lots of voices, and that’s also okay,'' she said. Also read: Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 teaser postponed: Why the Oct 2 release didn’t happen
