Pooja Hegde lambasts IndiGo staffer for rude behaviour; airline apologises
Chennai– Pooja Hegde, one of the top actresses in Tamil and Telugu film industries, on Thursday lambasted a staff member of IndiGo, who allegedly behaved in a rude manner with her costume assistant for no reason when the actress and her team were flying out of Mumbai.
Taking to Twitter, Pooja Hegde wrote, “Extremely sad with how rude IndiGo6E staff member, by the name of Vipul Nakashe, behaved with us today on our flight out from Mumbai. Absolutely arrogant, ignorant and threatening tone used with us for no reason. Normally I don’t tweet about these issues, but this was truly appalling.”
Pooja’s tweet evoked a swift response from the airline, which apologised for the inconvenience caused to Puja and her team in a bid to resolve the issue.
The airline said, “Thank you for taking the time to speak with us, Ms Hegde. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to you and would like to assure you that we are certainly looking into this matter to ensure that there are no recurrences.”
Pooja accepted the apology but pointed out that the apology must first be made to her costume assistant, who, she claimed, was discriminated against.
She tweeted, “Thanks for apologising for his behaviour but honestly, the first apology should go to my costume assistant towards whom he discriminated against and lastly us. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, irrespective of where they come from or who they are. There’s a way to talk.
‘Forensic’ trailer promises edge-of-the-seat thriller as Radhika Apte returns after hiatus
Mumbai– The trailer of the psychological thriller ‘Forensic’, which stars Vikrant Massey as Johnny Khanna, a forensic specialist and Radhika Apte as Megha Sharma, a police officer, was unveiled on Thursday.
As seen in the trailer, ‘Forensic’ is an edge-of-the-seat thriller where young girls are murdered on their birthdays in shocking ways. As new evidence comes forward with the help of advanced forensic technologies, the suspect keeps changing and the mystery keeps rising.
However, when the best possible duo – Johnny and Megha come together to crack open the case, they make good headway but at the cost of their personal and professional lives which turn upside down.
Commenting on the occasion, actor Vikrant Massey, who has had successful OTT releases in the past like ‘Haseen Dillruba’ and ‘Love Hostel’, said in a statement, “Forensic experts are so underrated, and I am glad that for the first time in Bollywood, we have a movie with a forensic expert in the lead.”
“Just like a good script is incomplete without a good director, I believe a crime case is incomplete without a good forensic expert and I hope that we are able to do justice to this profession via the movie. ‘Forensic’ is an exciting, edge-of-the-seat crime thriller with shocking twists and turns and I am looking forward to another successful OTT release with ZEE5,” he shared further in his statement.
The film is the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film of the same name and is directed by ‘Chhorii’ helmer Vishal Furia, and is produced by Mini Films and Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt Ltd.
Sharing her excitement on the film’s trailer launch, Radhika Apte, who has commanded a huge fan following courtesy her successful OTT projects like ‘Sacred Games’ and ‘Ghoul’, said, “I am returning to the screens after more than a year and I am super thrilled about it. Even though Forensic is an adaptation of a south film, I can guarantee that the viewers are in for a surprising shock as this is not just another murder mystery.
