4). That, the accused persons herein are part of a TV show named ‘Khabarnak’ that is aired on Geo newschannel every Saturday and Sunday at 11:05pm and repeated at 04:05am and 2:05pm. On 23/01/2011, the show ‘Khabarnak’ was aired as scheduled on 11:05pm. In this so called veritable “gossip column of talk shows”, at 11:23pm, the accused persons, despite being aware of the complainant’s contributions to this country and her maintained goodwill, crossed the limits by making a personal attack on the complainant’s esteemed and reputed personality. The conversation between the anchor and the dummy Pervez Musharaff was going as a comic until it got derogatory and an aspersion was made on the complainant’s integrity as a political activist. The comments followed by an actor present at the show were purely personal attacks. For the convenience of this Honb’le Court, its Urdu version is reproduced hereunder:-

5). That, the life of Complainants family has been disturbed and their privacy invaded by the comic T.V show aired by the Accused persons representing the Complainant as a downgraded woman having an unchaste personality. Furthermore, the Accused persons portrayed the Complainant’s political life as ‘Personal Property’ of the party head. Due to this, the Complainant have been going through immense mental tension and pressure as she is unable to reconcile the bad image depicted by the Accused persons and is thus unable to face her family, friends, international forums and the society at large with dignity/integrity which is a major trait of the Complainant’s personality.
T.V show promotional advertisement is annexed as ‘A’
6). That, the freedom of expressions adopted by accused persons has crossed the limits of decency and morality.

Cont’d………….P/7
P/7
8). That, it is submitted on behalf of the complainant that the accused persons have committed criminaldefamation as stated under Section 499 of the Pakistan Penal Code. Not only was defamation committed but was also broadcasted to millions of viewers around the globe. The complainant also submits that the accused persons have insulted her modesty as a woman by uttering words that intruded upon her privacy and damaged her reputation and integrity at local and international level which is also an offence punishable under Section 509 P.P.C.

Dabangg director chooses Sallu over SRK
After the success of Dabangg, everyone wants a piece of Abhinav Kashyap but the Dabangg director is a loyal man! Even though Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan is eager to work with him, Kashyap has decided to stick with Salman Khan and refused SRK.
Meanwhile, Kashyap even went for a meeting with SRK where the actor reportedly told the director that he would act and produce the film.
Later, what transpired between Salman and Kashyap is unknown but the Dabanggdirector chose Sallu over SRK. Speculations suggest that Kashyap decided to remain loyal with Salman, who gave Kashyap his first blockbuster hit.
A source told Mumbai Mirror, "The shooting of Dabangg 2 starts in December 2011. As for SRK's film, he has still not been able to lock the script. The SRK project is still far away."
