Mumbai: A 36-year-old actress has fallen prey to an online courier fraud and lost Rs5.79 lakh. The fraudster falsely claimed that drugs were found in her parcel and implicated her three bank accounts in money laundering cases, deceiving her.

According to the DN Nagar police, Anjali Patil, 36, who works in Marathi, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil movies and resides at Gilbert Hill Road, Andheri West, received a call from an unknown number who claimed to be Deepak Sharma, an employee of FedEx Courier company on December 28. Sharma informed her that a parcel in her name bound for Taiwan contained drugs, leading to its seizure by the customs department. He claimed that her Aadhar card’s copy was found inside the parcel. Patil was told that her Aadhar card was misused and advised to consult with the Mumbai cyber crime department.

Subsequently, she shared the incident with her landlord, who confirmed her suspicions. Consequently, she realised that she had fallen into the scam and filed a case with the police on December 29.

The case was filed against two unidentified persons under sections 419 (cheating), and 420 (cheating and dishonesty) of the Indian Penal Code along with relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.

Nick Jonas recalls hilarious moment when 4-year-old Malti Marie barged into Jonas Brothers’ green room before show

Mumbai, Sep 30: Singer Nick Jonas recently opened up about a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment involving his four-year-old daughter Malti Marie, recalling an almost awkward moment when the little one unexpectedly barged into their green room just before a show.

In a podcast conversation, Nick recounted the incident involving Malti and his wife, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

He said the best part of the night was not the show itself, but what happened backstage when Malti decided to walk into the room where Nick, Kevin and Joe were getting ready.

Recalling the incident, Nick said, “The best part about the whole night was actually not the show and not trying to make anybody mad. Hold on. It’s what happened during the show.

Malti Marie and Priyanka were there and, you know, the protocol is to just sort of knock and then, but there’s no door into the stage, it’s just curtains. You can’t knock a curtain.”

He added, “Malti was very excited and, obviously, she’s four and a half, so she just kind of burst into the room. Luckily, we were all in our boxer briefs and stuff, tank tops, actually. She looks at us and she goes, ‘Oh, you are in summer clothes.’ It was perfect. It was so funny.”

For the uninitiated, Priyanka and Malti have frequently been seen attending Nick’s performances and supporting him from the audience.

Just months ago, the mother-daughter duo were seen cheering and dancing at a Jonas Brothers concert, showing their support for Nick.

Nick performs alongside his brothers Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas as part of the Jonas Brothers.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas welcomed their first child, Malti Marie in January 2022 through surrogacy.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan obliges to paps’ request, asks them to pose for a group selfie

Mumbai, Sep 30: Global icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen striking a warm interaction with the paparazzi on Tuesday night.

A video on social media shows the actress obliging photographers as she made her way towards her car after returning from Paris Fashion Week.

In the video, Aishwarya is seen signing an autograph for a fan before stopping to acknowledge the paparazzi waiting to photograph her.

Rather than simply posing for individual pictures, the actress had a sweet suggestion for the photographers. Addressing them, she said, “ Aao sab log ek photo lete hain” (Come, let’s all take a picture together)

The paparazzi appeared delighted by Aishwarya’s gesture as she made sure everyone could be part of the photograph.

Aishwarya has just returned from Paris where she walked the runway in a dramatic velvet creation with a crystal-embellished cape.

The actress, who has been married to actor Abhishek Bachchan since 2007, is part of one of Bollywood’s most prominent families.

Her equation with the paparazzi also makes for an interesting contrast with her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan’s who is often stirring headlines for her complicated relationship with photographers.

Jaya has openly spoken about her discomfort with paparazzi culture and has often objected when photographers flock around her or photograph her in private moments.

Jaya has also made it clear that she is willing to pose when photographers maintain a proper distance and allow her to approach them on her own terms.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya made news recently when she was spotted at the airport while heading to Paris, without her daughter Aaradhya.

The little girl never fails to accomany her mother at many events and travels, but this time around she seems to have given it a miss.
