Veteran actor Mithun
Chakraborty's son Mahaakshay
was on Thursday booked for
allegedly repeatedly raping an
actress for over three years and
forcing her to undergo abortion.
Chakraborty's wife, Yogita Bali,
is also named in the FIR.
In her complaint with the
police, the woman alleged that
in May 2015, Mahaakshay had
called her to his residence where
he offered her a spiked soft
drink. She then said that the
actor's son raped her after she
passed out.
Over the next three years, the
woman added, Mahaakshay
continued to sexually assault her
on the pretext of marrying her.
However, Mahaakshay tied
the knot with actress Madalasa
Sarma in 2018. In the interim,
the woman alleged that she was
forced to abort her child.
The woman later shifted to the
national capital and filed a
complaint in a court. The court,
however, ruled that the probe
should be conducted by
Mumbai Police as the alleged
offence had taken place in the
latter's jurisdiction.
Earlier this week, Mahaakshay
and his mother, who the woman
claimed was aware of her son's
actions, were booked for
committing rape, administering
her a poisonous substance,
cheating and causing her to
abort her child, police said.

African-made films challenge
Hollywood stereotypes
Producers of two African-made
films premiering on Netflix this
month believe their work will
show there's subscriber
appetite for movies that go
deeper than the Hollywood
stereotypes that often make
African viewers groan.
Subscribers to the world's
largest streaming service can
now watch Poacher, a Kenyan
drama about elephant poaching
and Òlòt?ré, a Nigerian thriller
about a journalist whose world
falls apart after she goes
undercover as a sex worker.
The films avoid the simplistic
portrayals that viewers in Africa
often resent, the producers say.
Netflix has begun screening
more content produced in
Africa, and in June released
romantic comedy Cook Off,
Zimbabwe's first offering on the
streaming service.
Poacher, the first Kenyan film
released on Netflix, uses drama
to show the lives of everyday
people involved in poaching.
"It's very simple to point
fingers," said Davina Leonard,
who co-wrote, co-produced,
and stars in Poacher. "When
you start a drama, now you're
looking at the people and their
motivations." The film's other
star, Brian Ogola, hopes
Poacher will spur people to
action. "It's still not enough if
we want our grandchildren to
see some of these animals in
their natural habitat."
The film ends with a statistic
from the World Wildlife
Foundation: if current trends
continue, elephants will be
extinct by 2040.
The other movie, Òlòt?ré,
joins a host of Nigerian films on
the platform, which has nearly
193 million subscribers
globally. Òlòt?ré was shot on
the gritty streets and in
rundown homes of Lagos. It
tells the story of impoverished
sex workers lured into being
trafficked overseas. Human
Rights Watch ranks Nigeria a
top origin country of trafficking
victims in Europe and
elsewhere.

H o R o s C o p e
ARIes
(March 21 - April 20) : You might want
to escape the frenzy of the day by going
shopping, Aries. Align yourself with
partners and allies who share your
views. Try to keep the disagreements to a
minimum. There is enough tension and war raging
in the world around you today that you don't need
to add to the negative force by contributing disputes
and ailments to the situation.
TAURUs
(April 21 - May 21): Your mood should
be quite good today, Taurus, although
there may be some strong forces at work
trying to subvert this positive attitude.
Try not to let other people's disagreements bring you
down. Take the high ground and you will certainly
prevail. A peaceful nature is extremely important in
order to balance the anger and hostility that's present
all around. Be the one to promote this harmony.
GeMINI
(May 22 - June 21): Today's arena is one
in which you can find a great deal of
material, Gemini. There will be no
shortage of energy to work with or
opinions coming from you. Realize that your words
have a greater potency about them as people become
more intent on uncovering the truth. Apply yourself
to peace and cooperation among groups. Help
people work together toward a common goal.
CANCeR
(June 22 - July 23): Peace and harmony
are in the regularly scheduled
program for the day, but there is a
good chance that there could be a
warring force with strong opinions and vindictive
tendencies. Hold onto your hat, Cancer, and
make sure you have your actions well aligned
with your soul or else you could be thrown into a
battle that has nothing to do with you.
Leo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): I told you so
might be your motto of the day. Try not to
rub this in other people's faces, Leo.
Indeed, you have the foresight to witness
an action and see the consequences right away. These
consequences might rear their ugly heads on a day like
this. Use your incredible perception and intuition to
home in on the best solution possible and work toward
that goal before things get out of hand.
VIRGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): You may know
exactly the right thing to do today, but for
some reason, the action required may be
a hard thing for you to implement, Virgo.
Take an active role to get involved. Say your peace, but
don't get so attached to the results that you get upset
and discouraged if things don't exactly work out
according to plan. Independence is an important virtue
to hold onto today.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Make sure your
opinion doesn't get lost in the frenzy of
the day, Libra. Your words may not
quite fit with the things that people
want to hear. Try not to take this personally. Realize
that this isn't an indication that your words are any
less important. You have an incredible gift of being
able to see things that others can't. Cherish and
nourish this ability instead of invalidating it.
sCoRpIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): You have two
choices today. Either jump into the
thick of the mess with both feet or stay
out of it altogether. There are definitely
two distinct camps setting up their arsenals for
battle. Realize that there is also a soft, tender,
harmonious aspect that just wants peace. It will be
hard to ignore the fact that your usual warring
nature is ready to do battle.
sAGITTARIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): You may end up
being the peaceful savior that calms
everyone down today, Sagittarius. Use
your artistic nature and love of beauty
and harmony to inspire others to put away their
differences and concentrate on the positive aspects.
Generous acceptance of others is the only way to go,
especially today, when people are riled up and ready
to fight. Do your best to promote peace.
CApRICoRN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): Your unique ability to
communicate with many different groups
and personalities will be extremely
important today to maintaining a bridge
between warring camps, Capricorn. Keep things moving
and try not to let the situation stagnate on any one issue.
If the conversation turns to raging and ranting, it's in your
best interests to stop it right away. Don't be afraid to step
up and take a leadership role.
AQUARIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): You might feel like you're
getting worked up from all angles today,
Aquarius. Find comfort in knowing that
things will definitely improve by tomorrow.
You might get the feeling that somehow you're all alone
despite the circle of friends that surrounds and loves you.
You may be called to action by a strong force. Try to stay
abreast of information and developments around you so
you can make the most informed decisions possible.
pIsCes
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : Try to rise above the
potential tension and rough spots of the
day, Pisces. Do yourself a favor and don't
feel like you have to stoop to another's
level. Take pride in your actions and do things with
confidence. Work with the negativity. The worst thing
to do would be to ignore it. Approach problems
squarely as soon as they arise. Don't dredge up the
past. It's time to move forward.
