Bollywood star caught up in casting couch scandal

A leading Bollywood actor was embroiled in a sex scandal last night after being filmed apparently offering to promote the career of an aspiring actress if she slept with him.

An Indian television station broadcast footage of Shakti Kapoor, famous for playing movie villains, in a Mumbai hotel room propositioning an undercover reporter who was posing as the actress. Kapoor was also filmed naming Bollywood stars who he claimed had slept their way to success.

In the video clip, the actor said: “I want to make love to you … and if you want to come in this line [of business] you have to do what I am telling [you] to do.”

Kapoor has accused the television channel behind the sting of setting him up and denied any wrongdoing.

Bollywood, the Mumbai-based Hindu film industry, reacted to the scandal with a mix of faux outrage and weary resignation. While some demanded a boycott of Kapoor, others suggested his behaviour was commonplace in the Indian film industry.

Kapoor certainly seems to think so – in the video clip he names three leading actresses and claims they have had sex with top producers and directors to clinch roles. “So you have to do it just once,” he told the undercover reporter.

Mahesh Bhatt, a producer, described sex for screen-time as “Bollywood’s best-known secret” and suggested Kapoor should be fined for his actions.

“The rot is within us,” he said. “The casting couch is a reality. It is a power thing, to which vulnerable girls who want to join the industry fall prey.”

But Kapoor, who has performed in more than 300 films and is best known for his portrayal of villains, insisted he had neither solicited sex nor made allegations against other celebrities.

He said the video had been tampered with by India television and threatened to sue the channel.

“The tapes have been doctored,” he said after the first clips were broadcast. “I never touched her.”

The woman had pestered him for months for a film role and he only went to the hotel to meet her when she threatened to commit suicide, he said.

Despite his denial, India’s Film and Television Producers’ Guild urged its members to boycott Kapoor.

“Kapoor has been completely irresponsible in his behaviour and utterances and must publicly apologise to all those whom he has insulted and slandered,” it said in a statement.

“The guild is advising its members not to engage Shakti Kapoor in any work in any of their productions.”

Preity Zinta, a leading actress who was one of those named by Kapoor, said: “The comment is made in very poor taste. He is truly a real-life villain and deserves to be banned from our film industry.”

Syed Abdul Mujeeb

Prof. Dr. Syed Abdul Mujeeb

Syed Abdul Mujeeb (Urdu: سید عبدالمجیب ) (1957–2009) was a medical scientist of standing in the field of Microbiology. He was awarded the “Pride of Performance” by the President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf at an investiture ceremony on the Pakistan Day, on 23 March 2008.

Biography

He was founder member of Pakistan Biological Safety Association, a member of International Biosafety Working Group (IBWG).[2] and was appointed member of the committee on biological drugs in pursuance to Section 10 of the Drugs Act, 1976 the Federal Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Health, (Re-constitution of the expert committee on Biological Drugs)
As a renowned medical scientist of Pakistan, he had done many pioneering works in the field of Haematology. His cooperation in the establishment of series of blood banks in Pakistan will always be remembered. He authored many books, papers, pamphlets and monographs. He had working relations with many national and international organisations such as WHO, UNICEF, UNO and Blood Banks of many countries.
He was Associate Prof in the Department of Pathology, Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, since 2006. In addition, he was also Associate Prof of Pathology (Honorary) at Dow University of Health Science from 2008; Member, WHO Expert Advisory Panel on Blood Transfusion Medicine and Research Coordinator (2007–2009) at JPMC.
A senior microbiologist, in charge and head of the blood bank at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, Dr Syed Abdul Mujeeb, died due to heart attack. He was 52. A number of doctors belonging to the JPMC and other healthcare facilities and educational institutions attended his funeral prayers.
He had received the President’s Pride of Performance Award for his outstanding services in medicine in 2008. He had written numerous research articles, awareness publications published in international and national scientific journals. To his admirers, friends and colleagues, Dr Mujeeb was a thorough professional, committed to the wellbeing of patients suffering from blood diseases.
An expert in infectious diseases, Dr Rafiq Khanani (Director of Dow Diagnostic Research and Reference Laboratories & President Infection Control Society of Pakistan) expressed sorrow over Dr Mujeeb’s death and said he would always be remembered for his research and services in the field of transfusion medicine. He always stressed the importance of safe blood and blood products and their transfusion. In June 2009, Dr Mujeeb had participated in the Global Consultation on 100 per cent Voluntary Non-remunerated Donation of Blood and Blood Components, organised by the World Health Organisation in Melbourne, Australia. In a presentation there, he had said that Pakistan with a population of 160 million had in general disorganised, fragmented and hospital-based blood transfusion services, with no national blood transfusion services and programme for voluntary blood donors. If two per cent eligible population donated blood twice a year, all current requirements of blood could be met in the country, he had said.
