Actress Elnaaz Norouzi, known for her work as Zoya in OTT series Sacred Games’, is set to star in the second season of the Emmy winning ‘series ‘Tehran’. She is turning a singer with her debut track which is yet to be titled.

Commenting on the development, the actress said: “I cannot contain my excitement now that the news is out. I’ve been working and holding onto this song for more than 2 years. It’s a big deal for me as it’s all so new to me but I’ve worked extremely hard on it and now I can show it to the world. It’ll be out this month and I hope everyone supports me in my journey as a singer.”

Talking about how the song came into existence, she continued: “The journey to this song started with me taking vocal training because I wanted to work on my voice for my acting. That’s when my teacher and vocal trainer pursued me to learn music saying that ‘you have a good voice’. Initially, I was like, ‘Okay, this is not on my radar at all’.”

“However, during Covid first wave, when I was stuck in Germany, I met a music manager who also liked my voice and offered me to sing. That’s how it all started. Eventually, I met some German song producers, who helped me materialise this song,” she added.

The song will hit the airwaves on July 27, and will be available on YouTube and across all audio streaming platforms.

‘India Got Latent’ row: Ranveer Allahbadia to appear before Assam Police today

Published

Guwahati, March 4: YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia is set to appear before the Assam Police in Guwahati on Tuesday in the case related to his controversial comments on the stage of ‘India Got Latent’ show that has attracted massive backlash for the podcaster.

A case against Allahbadia was registered in Guwahati and he was served summons to appear before the Assam Police here.

The Guwahati Crime Branch last week questioned another YouTuber Ashish Chanchalani, who has also been embroiled in the controversy for his comments made during an episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’ show.

The interrogation lasted several hours after the YouTuber arrived at the Crime Branch office.

“YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani showed up for interrogation at the Crime Branch. He has complied with our inquiry. We will phone him if necessary, but we are not currently calling him again. We have not yet received a response from other people connected to the investigation. They will receive new summonses shortly,” Guwahati’s Joint Police Commissioner Ankur Jain told reporters here.

When Allahbadia made controversial comments on the show hosted by comedian Samay Raina, Chanchlani was listed in the Assam FIR.

Due to his remarks regarding parents and sex in an episode of the show, Allahbadia, better known by his stage name BeerBiceps, faced severe criticism and complaints.

Chanchlani has pleaded that the FIR filed at the Guwahati Crime Branch, Guwahati Police Commissionerate’s Cyber Police Station be quashed.

As the Maharashtra FIR was filed first, the YouTuber requested that the Guwahati FIR be transferred to Mumbai. While considering Chanchlani’s anticipatory bail motion, the Gauhati High Court granted him temporary relief on February 18 and instructed him to appear in person before the investigating officer within ten days.

The lawyer for Chanchlani contended that their client made no statements on the show and that the FIR’s accusations were limited to the co-accused. Under certain provisions of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhtia, Information Technology Act, Cinematograph Act, and Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, Guwahati Police filed a formal complaint against Chanchlani on February 10.
