Radhika Apte slams reporter for question on leaked 'Parched' video
Actress #Radhika_Apte on Tuesday got angry with a media reporter for asking about the leaked nude scenes in her last release "#Parched".
"Sorry, your question is very ridiculous. Controversies are made by the people like you. You saw the clip, you shared with other people, so you made the controversy," she said at the launch of Swatch watches on Tuesday.

Plea in HC against release of movie 'October 31st'
A petition was filed in the Delhi High Court on Tuesday to stop the release of a #Hindi_film based on the aftermath of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which led to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

"From whatever little is shown on trailers, it is clear that action and words used by the characters are of offending nature, they have all ingredients to tarnish the reputation of such persons. Apart from the fact that same can't stand the test of fair comment or that of social interest, they appear to be provocative," said the plea.
