Prominent jeweller Boby Chemmanur taken into custody following complaint by actress Honey Rose

Published

on

Wayanad, Jan 8: Jewellery magnate Boby Chemmanur was taken into custody by Kerala police on Wednesday morning from his resort in Wayanad following a complaint lodged by popular actress Honey Rose.

Rose accused Chemmanur of using derogatory language against her, an incident she disclosed had occurred four months ago.

Wayanad Superintendent of Police Taposh Basumathary confirmed Chemmanur’s detention and said the probe team handling the case would take him to Kochi for questioning.

Currently, Chemmanur is held at the Wayanad police camp and is expected to be transferred to the Kochi Central Police station later in the day.

The swift action took many by surprise, particularly as Chemmanur was reportedly in the process of securing anticipatory bail.

On Tuesday, Honey Rose publicly revealed her decision to file a police complaint, describing the incident as deeply disturbing for her and her family.

She shared her experience on social media, where she also warned Chemmanur that she would extend her complaint to his close associates if necessary.

Rose had earlier narrated the incident on social media without naming Chemmanur, which resulted in intensified cyberattacks against her. Police have since arrested around two dozen people involved in these attacks.

The actress, who made her acting debut in the 2005 Malayalam film Boyy Friennd, gained widespread recognition with the 2012 film ‘Trivandrum Lodge’. She is now a highly sought-after figure in the entertainment industry, particularly for public events.

Boby Chemmanur is the chairman of the Chemmanur International Group, a sprawling business conglomerate. He is well-known for his association with late football legend Diego Maradona, whom he brought to Kerala in 2012.

Chemmanur has often made headlines for his unconventional ventures, including a record-breaking 812 km marathon in April 2014, aimed at raising awareness about blood donation. This initiative led to the creation of the world’s largest blood bank, inspiring approximately 1.4 million blood donations.

As the investigation unfolds, the allegations have cast a shadow on Chemmanur’s reputation, which has been built over decades of high-profile activities and philanthropic efforts.

Sonu Sood feted with 390-foot cutout by 500 Sholapur students

Published

on

Mumbai, Jan 7: Ahead of the release of his upcoming film “Fateh”, 500 students from Sholapur paid a heartfelt tribute to Sonu Sood with an incredible 390-foot cutout poster of the Bollywood actor and humanitarian.

A record-breaking 390-foot cutout was created with custom Fateh-themed t-shirts, statues, and even decorated autos with the film’s branding. The 390-foot cutout stands not only as a tribute to Sonu but also as a testament to the film’s impact, even before its release.

“Fateh”, directed and written by Sonu, is a high-octane action thriller set against the backdrop of cybercrime. The film promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats with its gripping storyline.

A few days ago, Sonu visited the Samadhi of Shri Sai Baba and he stated that he seeked divine blessings for the success of his upcoming film.

The actor shared how playing the role of an ordinary man with hidden strength and determination provided him with a fresh outlook on personal growth and self-confidence.

Sonu shared, “I think Fateh was my dream role, one that I always wanted to play: a common man who has a superhero inside him. I believe every individual, every common man, has a superhero within them.”

“You just need to discover that. I’m glad that with Fateh, I was able to discover that side of myself. And I hope that when people watch it, they not only get entertained by the script but also get inspired.”

Asked what Fateh means to him, he said, “I think when you can be someone’s hope, it’s not about how rich, famous, or influential you are.”

“We are all those things, but sometimes, when someone becomes a hope, a person leaves their native village in Punjab or Uttar Pradesh with the belief that when they reach out to an individual, their life will change. I think that is true Fateh—when you can change someone’s life, that’s what real Fateh is.”

Produced by Umesh KR Bansal under Zee Studios and Sonali Sood of Shakti Sagar Productions, with Ajay Dhama as co-producer, Fateh, which also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vijay Raaz, is slated to release on January 10.
