Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor files complaint after assault, death threats

Popular television actor Samay Shah, who is known for playing Gogi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has filed a police complaint after being assaulted in front of his apartment complex recently. The actor and his family have revealed the incident to the media and said that this is not the first time that he has received a threat.

According to the actor, the incident took place on 27 October when Samay was returning to his Borivali residence after work. He shared CCTV footage on his Instagram account where four to five men can be seen waiting outside his building.

The video clips show a man going after Samay as he comes home in an auto. They soon go out of the screen. It is difficult to recognise the people from the footage but a case has been registered in the Borivali police station.

Speaking to entertainment portal SpotBoyE, Samay said that he was returning from finishing a shoot at around 8.30 pm when a man approached him in front of his house and started abusing him “without any reason”.

Samay recalled that the person threatened to kill him and when Samay enquired what was his issue, the latter refused to reveal anything.

“My entire family and I are under a lot of stress and hence we decided to seek legal help after which we finally filed a police complaint this afternoon,” he told the publication.

Samay’s mother revealed another aspect of the incident. Apparently, the actor’s family has been facing threats and abuses for the last 15 days. The incident on 27 October was the third time this happened.

Recalling a previous such assault, the actor’s mother said that while she was at the window of their first-floor house, a man passed by in a rickshaw while “abusing Samay loudly”. She failed to spot his face and spoke about another time when a guy had entered their building and had threatened to kill her son.

Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson Apple TV+ explores the curious link between music and technology

In The Salmon of Doubt , Douglas Adams writes: “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great

Studying women presidents and prime ministers on screen, from Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up to Dimple Kapadia in A Thursday

In 2016, when I heard Hillary Clinton had lost the US Presidential race to Donald Trump, I took it as a confirmation that this is how much the US hated its women. And I felt temporarily gratified to live in a country which elected a woman as its third prime minister. This was before I remembered Indira Gandhi was the only woman prime minister we have had, and she was an outlier. Her strong and uncompromising leadership style skews meaningful analysis of gender representation in governance. Anyway, for all the breaking of paths and glass ceilings, trailblazers like Gandhi and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher commonly belong to conservative or traditional parties. Left to the simultaneously imaginative and mimetic art of comedy, the first woman US president looks like Meryl Streep’s Janine Orlean in Don’t Look Up and Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Selina Meyer in the HBO show Veep . They are both are anti-feminists and women of power. Yet they could not be more different in how they reflect the r

Netflix's Lupin acknowledges dangers of fantasies of omnipotence, introducing viewers to a socially conscious gentleman thief

By Emma Bielecki Netflix’s immensely successful new French-language show Lupin has introduced a new generation of anglophone viewers to one of the most popular characters in French popular fiction, Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. Lupin was created in 1905 by the writer Maurice Leblanc at the behest of publisher Pierre Lafitte, who had recently launched a general interest magazine, Je Sais Tout . Lafitte wanted a serial that would guarantee a loyal readership for his magazine, as the Sherlock Holmes stories had for the Strand Magazine. Drawing inspiration from Conan Doyle and EW Hornung’s Raffles stories, Leblanc obliged by creating a flamboyant and ultimately always benign trickster figure. Cat burglar, con artist, master of disguise, Lupin is also a brilliant detective and righter of wrongs. His appeal has proved enduring: in addition to the original 20 volumes of stories authored by Leblanc, there have been countless plays, radio shows, TV series and films, from Italian pornos
