Deepika dodges rotten eggs and tomatoes

By

Dressed in a colourful ghagra-choli, leggy Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone was all set to perform garba on the hit number Nagaada at a daandiya function in Ahmedabad. 
But she was stopped from entering the venue by the organisers. The reason? It was because eggs and rotten tomatoes were in store for her, as a group of protesters had gathered at the garba ground to protest against her film Ram-Leela. 
Some local groups from Rajasthan and Gujarat have been demonstrating against the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film, starring Deepika with Ranveer Singh, because they say it shows controversial content and misuses the name of Lord Rama. The protesting crowd also objected to Deepika and Ranveer's on-screen kiss.
According to onlookers, the group had come prepared with a huge stock of eggs and tomatoes which they had planned to pelt at Deepika and other members of the film. The organisers reportedly smelt a rat and warned Deepika's manager just before her appearance.

Sources close to Deepika said the protesters, belonging to Jadeja and Rabari communities, were all set to attack the actress as well as the organisers, as they wanted to stress their demand to ban the film. 
"A senior member from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's team met the protesters and explained how the so-called offensive portions have been re-dubbed, keeping in mind the sensibilities of various communities," a source said. 
"Bhansali had already sent a letter to the protesting community regarding the offensive portions which was related to a particular community from Rajasthan, but the protesters had already made up their mind to cause trouble at the event," the source added.
However, the matter was later sorted out and Deepika finally went to the ground to dance with her fans, who had to wait for more than two hours. 
On Tuesday, another peppy romantic number, Ishqyaun Dhishqyaun, from the film was unveiled online. 
Sung by Aditya Narayan, the number features wacky lyrics and sees Deepika and Ranveer show off some crazy dance moves.

An arrest warrant has been issued for former NFL player Darren Sharper and his acquaintance, according to the New Orleans Police Department. The 38-year-old is accused of raping two women in New Orleans last September.  Both Sharper and his acquaintance, Erik Nunez, 26, each face two counts of aggravated rape.

Two big sinkholes formed in Pokhara

By Anonymous
Two big sinkholes have been formed in the city of Pokhara. The larger sinkhole is about eight feet wide and seven feet deep on Gagan man marg, in front of Kalika Boarding School. It was reported 8:30 p.m., BWS spokesman Harikrishna Mahat said.  The agency's crews noticed a nearby patch in the street and traced it back to Sept. 15 road work to repair a water main leak. However, Mahat said there's no way to tell whether that leak in any way contributed to the sink hole. The trench was compacted and repairs completed by 5:15 a.m., so residents weren't affected, he added. source:staradvertiser.com
