Hello, my fellow Bollywood enthusiasts! It’s your favorite Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, ready to dish out the latest spicy scoop from the world of Hindi cinema. Grab your popcorn; this one’s a doozy!
You know how the Malayalam film industry has been a hotbed of controversies lately? Well, the drama just got juicier! Actress Revathi Sampath has leveled some serious allegations against senior actor Siddique. Yep, you heard that right. She’s filed a rape case against him, and the cops are treating it as a non-bailable offense. 😲
Revathi didn’t just whisper these accusations into the ether; she marched right into the Trivandrum Museum Police Station and filed her complaint. And guess what? The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is on it. This team was specifically set up to deal with sexual harassment cases in the Malayalam film industry. Talk about taking things seriously!
Here’s the tea: Revathi claims that back in 2016, Siddique invited her to Muscat Hotel under the pretense of discussing a film role. Instead, she says, he sexually harassed her. Eight years later, she’s decided to speak out. Better late than never, right? 🤐
Now, Siddique, being the seasoned actor that he is, didn’t just sit back and let these accusations fly. Oh no, he’s gone full defense mode! He rushed to the Director General of Police, crying foul and claiming it’s all a plot to ruin his reputation. According to him, he met Revathi in 2016 in the presence of her parents. Hmm, interesting twist, don’t you think? 🤔
And let’s not forget, Siddique wasn’t just any actor; he was the General Secretary of AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists). Back in 2019, the Hema Committee was formed to investigate harassment claims in the industry, and they submitted a hefty 233-page report to the Kerala government. This report named several bigwigs involved in harassment. Siddique held a press conference, dismissing all allegations. But soon after, Revathi’s bombshell accusations came out, and guess what? Siddique resigned from his AMMA position. Coincidence? I think not! 🕵️♀️
Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, where there’s smoke, there’s usually a blazing inferno. And moral of the story? Always keep your drama on-screen, folks! 🎬
Until next time, stay nosy!
