Arbaaz Khan reacts to Abhinav Singh Kashyap’s allegations that Salman Khan’s Being Human was created to clean his image June 21, 2020 at 08:43PM
Actor Salman Khan has been making headlines for various reasons these past few days. One of the reasons is his fallout with Dabangg director Abhinav Singh Kashyap as the latter has made several accusations against the Khan brothers. He has alleged that they bullied him which led him to not go ahead with Dabangg 2. In his latest post, the director claimed that Being Human was created to clean Salman Khan’s public image.
Arbaaz Khan reacted to the allegations and stated to a daily that they have taken legal action against him. They have also complained to the film association. They have decided to take this route instead of getting in a fight. He added that they are following the best way to handle this. As per reports, they have filed a defamation case against Kashyap.
In a Facebook post on June 20, Abhinav Singh Kashyap demanded a probe into Being Human. “Salim Khan’s biggest idea is Being Human. The charity being done by Being Human is just a show-off. Five cycles used to be distributed in front of my eyes during the shooting of ‘Dabangg’, next day the newspapers would print that the generous Salman Khan has donated 5000 cycles to the poor. It was all an effort to cleanse Salman Khan’s image so that the media and the judges were kind to them in his criminal court cases. They are making money by fooling the innocent public. They are selling Rs 500 jeans for Rs 5000 and laundering money in the name of charity. Their intention is not to give anything to anyone, but to only acquire from people. The government needs to probe Being Human…I will cooperate with the government.”

Obscene anti-Salman Khan song doing the rounds in Bihar June 21, 2020 at 08:15PM
The move to thrust incommensurate blame on Salman Khan for Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic death especially in Bihar has now crossed all levels of decency. A song credited to someone called Vikash Gope entitled ‘Madarc...d Salman’ has gone viral. The song starts with ‘Murdabad’ slogans for Salman, Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar and then goes on to abuse Salman in explicit language, blaming him for the death of Bihar’s beloved ‘Sushant Bhaiyya’.
The singer then pauses to say, “No film of Salman should be released in the theatres of Patna.” The video comes with a disclaimer, “Agar aap Bihari hai to hi iss gaane ko sune” (listen to this song only if you are a Bihari).”
Interestingly Bihar has a massive population of Salman fans and it is feared that the whole ‘Sushant Versus Salman’ controversy could assume a communal colour if allowed to be propagated and fuelled.

Sushant Singh Rajput had no marriage plans June 21, 2020 at 08:00PM
There are stories doing the rounds that the much-missed Sushant Singh Rajput had plans to get married in winter this year. The truth is, Sushant was not in a relationship when he passed away. Rhea Chakraborty and Sushant had broken up some months ago. Prior to that the two were living together and yes, they were definitely contemplating a life together.
But then Sushant stopped taking his medicines and his ladylove couldn’t handle his mood swings any more. Rhea quit the relationship some months ago.
So whom would Sushant have married in December this year? This is just not possible and those indulging in posthumous speculation about the very private Mr Rajput’s private life must remember: he’s watching.

Justin Bieber addresses sexual assault allegations with receipts, plans to take legal action June 21, 2020 at 07:12PM
Singer Justin Bieber has released a bunch of hotel receipts and email screenshots to address the sexual assault allegation claim against him which was shared on Twitter on June 20 by an anonymous user. On Saturday evening, a Twitter user under the name Danielle alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Justin Bieber in 2014 when he was 20 years old and she was 21. In the post, she alleged that she and her friends were invited to Bieber's hotel while she was in Texas and that she was sexually assaulted without consent. She did not reveal the identity of her friends. Later on, the tweet and the account were later deleted from Twitter.
"I don't normally address things as I have dealt with random accusations my entire career but after talking with my wife [Hailey Baldwin] and the team I have decided to speak up on an issue tonight," Justin Bieber shared a series of tweets in which he addressed the allegations.
In the tweets, he mentioned he was with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez and provided articles, hotel receipts and screenshots of emails. He even said that he plans to take legal action. "Rumors are rumors but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly. I wanted to speak out right away but out of respect to so many victims who deal with these issues daily I wanted to make sure I gathered the facts before I made any statement," Bieber wrote.
"In the past 24 hours a new Twitter appeared that told a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four seasons hotel. I want to be clear. There is no truth to this story. In fact as I will soon show I was never present at that location," he further said.
Bieber concluded by saying "Every claim of sexual abuse should be taken very seriously and this is why my response was needed. However, this story is factually impossible and that is why I will be working with twitter and authorities to take legal action."

In the past 24 hours a new Twitter appeared that told a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four seasons hotel. I want to be clear. There is no truth to this story. In fact as I will soon show I was never present at that location.

As her story told I did surprise a crowd in Austin at Sxsw where I appeared on stage with my then assistant side stage and sang a few songs. What this person did not know was that I attended that show with my then gf Selena Gomez

These photos clearly show me on stage with my assistant sidestage and the other with both of us in the streets of Austin afterwards on March 9 2014 pic.twitter.com/WlC6KAvJOZ

Here is article that shows we didn’t arrive in Austin that night from Selena’s show in Houston until late in the night. https://t.co/BsxCoMasqa
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020
The other reason this story might say I was staying at the four seasons was because a tweet from 2014 on March 10th not the the 9th says they saw me there . This is that tweet pic.twitter.com/piTHxjajvi
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020
However I never stayed at the four seasons on the 9th or the 10th. This person put another tweet up earlier saying they saw me at the restaurant the following night not the hotel pic.twitter.com/K4WHNRlC6k
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020
Furthermore I stayed with Selena and our friends at an airbnb on the 9th and on the 10th stayed at a Westin because our hotel reservation at LĂ€ Quinta and not the four seasons was messed up. Here are the receipts for the hotel on the 10th pic.twitter.com/hLNHnvJ6XS
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020
We have also confirmed with the Four Seasons regional manager that I was never on property on the 9th of March 2014 and never a guest on the 9th or the 10th and I welcome all press to inquire with them if needed or wanted.
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020
The Pics I showed of me and Selena march 9 in Austin should make it clear that we were together that night and went from the venue to our Airbnb and never went to the four seasons. This is our airbnb receipt where we crashed with our friends pic.twitter.com/4ZDIqjeCIQ
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020
On march 10th selena left for work and I stayed at the Westin as the receipts clearly showed with my friends nick and john before I left town. Once again not at the four seasons. We booked it for a couple days to stay for the defjam show but I bailed on the 11th to head back home pic.twitter.com/Ku15SCYz91
