Choreographer Jani Master was arrested on September 19 in connection with a sexual assault case filed by his former employee. His wife, Ayesha, has now come forward to defend her husband and question the validity of the allegations.

Demanding Evidence
In an interview with TV9 news, Ayesha expressed her disbelief at the accusations against her husband. She stated that she needed concrete evidence to believe that he was guilty of the alleged crimes. She said, “The allegation that the woman was harassed when she was 16 is disgusting. There is no truth in it. If the girl can show evidence, I will leave Master. I have been married to Master for the last 14 years and we have no children. I know him very well. His nature is not what is being alleged. How is it that she never complained before? And how is it that after being on her own for the last year, she suddenly surfaces to complain to him?”
Questioning the Complainant’s Motives
Ayesha pointed out that the complainant had previously expressed gratitude and admiration for Jani Master. She questioned the timing of the complaint and suggested that there might be ulterior motives behind the allegations.
The Complainant’s Allegations
The woman, who is now 21, alleged that Jani Master had sexually assaulted her multiple times over the past six years. She claimed that he had pressured her to perform sexual acts in exchange for work opportunities.

The 40-page FIR detailed the harrowing experiences of the complainant, who was only 16 years old when the alleged assaults began. The woman accused Jani Master of using his position of power to manipulate and exploit her.

Janhvi Kapoor is the rising star of Hindi Cinema, presently gearing up for the release of Devara: Part 1 and shooting for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. She follows it up with an action drama starring Ram Charan in the lead. But in the midst of all this, we have exclusively learnt that Janhvi Kapoor is all set to make a special cameo for her debut co-star, Ishaan Khatter’s next film produced by Karan Johar.

According to our highly placed sources, Janhvi Kapoor has signed on for a 10-day cameo in Masaan director Neeraj Ghaywan’s next film. “When Karan and Neeraj came to Janhvi with the offer, she couldn’t say no as she has the utmost respect for both of them. She has allotted 10 days from her packed diary and is excited to reunite with her debut co-star, Ishaan Khatter,” a source informed Bollywood Hungama.

The source further informed us that it’s a two-hero film, and the team is in talks with another young hero to come on board. “It’s a story of two friends, and Neeraj has come up with a solid storyline that will win over the audience. The treatment and flavour is very different from Masaan,” the source tells us further.

The movie will hit the big screen in the 2nd half of 2025.

Alia Bhatt, currently immersed in the YRF Spy Universe film, Alpha, is gearing up for another ambitious project: Love & War, a Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial slated for a grand theatrical release in March 2026. However, amidst these action-packed endeavours, Bhatt has revealed a desire to explore a more intimate genre: the romantic drama.

As per a report in Pinkvilla, sources close to the actress reveal Bhatt has been actively considering several romantic scripts and has her heart set on a particular one. This forthcoming project, a quintessential love story, is slated to commence production in the final quarter of 2025, following the completion of Love & War. “Alia has identified a script for her next after Love & War, and she is looking to produce and act in the film. It’s an out and out love story, and Alia’s heart at the moment is on the aforementioned script,” revealed a source close to the development.

Intriguingly, the director attached to this romantic venture is rumoured to be the same individual who helmed a massive 2022 blockbuster. “There have been multiple rounds of meeting and the conversations are in the right direction. The film is still a year away from going on floors, and hence, there is also a chance for Alia to change her mind if something better comes up. But given how the things are at the moment, the love-story in question is locked as Alia’s next for 2026,” the source added.

The team is actively seeking a prominent male lead for the film, and casting discussions are expected to commence in January 2024. Once the necessary paperwork is finalized and stakeholders are committed to the project, the casting process will officially begin.

Alia Bhatt’s upcoming slate includes Jigra, set for release on October 11, 2024, and Alpha in late 2025.
