Rasika Dugal, outspoken as ever, says she would have said no to a movie like Animal because her biggest fear is that one day she will accept a project that will inadvertently promote misogyny. With Mirzapur and Delhi Crime, this has been Rasika’s moment in many ways. It was wonderful to have Rasika with us. She shared that the politics of every project she chooses is of utmost importance to her, not just as an afterthought, but as the very foundation of her decisions. Here's an actor who is deeply mindful of the ideas, values, and narratives she puts into her work, in an industry where choices are often driven by commercial viability, convenience, glamour, or pressure. More power to you and your tribe, Rasika Dugal . Cheering for you all always. WeTheWomen

Recovering from a fractured skull but his overriding emotion is just one- “ I WANT TO FLY AGAIN” - Capt Smit Machhar, Indian Hero Pilot who saved the Fly Dubai plane, is being treated for the aftermath of a depressed skull fracture, sources confirmed. This includes headaches and vision side effects for which he is being monitored round the clock. This fracture & ensuing neurological side effects is the result of the Omani co-pilot Hamam-al- Hammami pounding his head from the back with a crash axe ( see below) - mandatory equipment on the cockpit that has metal cutting claws. The enormity of the courage displayed by Capt Smit is reinforced every day. He told Netanyahu that when the co-pilot hit him from the back, “..the blows kept coming.. because of his initial blows my vision was almost like nothing… and I was completely blurred out” ( hear below 🎧). And yet he managed through this overwhelming moment to open the cockpit door, allowing the other passengers to come in and pin the attacker down while he himself was bleeding profusely. Prayers for his fullest recovery and for him to be able to return to his first love- flying ❤️🩹🇮🇳💔. Full coverage Mojo Story

The female biker Sia has lashed out at the outrageous claims made by Kalyan Baisla the man who rammed his car into her bike in a chilling and evidently deliberate attempt to knock her off her bike. This because she asked his car to keep distance and alleged that he was drunk and intoxicated. The family has filed an FIR and now the big question for Gurgaon Police is why this man has not been arrested. A gym owner and Kabbadi player, Baisla is also seen in devotional music videos calling him the Maharaj of Uttarakhand and in other pictures standing with men who have guns- it’s not yet clear what the context for that viral picture is. But clearly he is connected and believes he enjoys impunity, will the police prove him wrong or allow his lawyer to indulge in victim shaming ?

For the first time since he was stabbed by his copilot and became a global hero for how he saved a plane full of passengers with his courage and presence of mind, Captain Smit Machchhar comes on camera to speak of what happened, choking up in tears at one point, in this video call with PM Modi. Smit relayed a hijack squawk code and managed to open the cockpit door even as he lay bleeding on the floor, his assailant co- pilot on top of him. The plane was 30 seconds from crashing and its thanks to Smit and the passengers who supported him that everyone is unscathed except Smit who is still recovering from stab wounds.

Incontrovertible evidence of how Twisha Sharma was abused and maligned by her husband and his mother emerges on tape. Imagine a mother in law who asks her daughter in law about her sexual history, former partners, accusing her of promiscuity- and comparing her to a prostitute, while, her son, calls his wife a R##ndi . Who made this lady a judge ? I was truly chilled to the bone when I heard this audiotape - where Twisha Sharma’s brother, a serving major in the army confronts his sister's mother in law and takes her on for the constant harassment of Twisha. On April 22nd days before she was tragically found dead in the judge’s home, the family secretly recorded what may now stand as one of the most chilling windows into the cruelty Twisha endured inside her marital home. In the audio, accessed exclusively by Mojo Story, Former Judge, Giribala Singh can be heard brazenly defending her son against the complaint that he called cTwisha a “r*ndi” . She can be heard aggressively saying that it’s her right to know whether her daughter in law has had multiple partners in the past. And then- that oldest trope in the world- she questions her morality, accuses her of promiscuity and invokes parallels with prostitutes ( used in this context as an abuse by her) , language so vile, so dehumanising, it is hard to listen to without outrage.

Shocking Victim Shaming by Naveen Bainsla, lawyer of Kalyan Bainsla, the man who rammed his car into a female biker, unable to answer my most basic question- if his client/"brother" is “innocent” as is being claimed by them; why did Kalyan flee the scene of the crime ? Nor could he explain why Kalyan tried to flee from police custody a second time , before being arrested in Rajasthan and charged with attempted murder If this is how lawyers talk no wonder that women think 100 times before filing FIRs and fighting legally. Simply appalling. Full coverage Mojo Story- and my full grilling interview of the lawyer here
