Anupam Kher reflects on fatherly bond with Mahesh Bhatt
Anupam Kher shares heartfelt memories of his 40-year friendship with Mahesh Bhatt, likening their bond to that of a father-son relationship.
A Mumbai court convicted ten members of the Ravi Pujari gang on Wednesday (April 25) and acquitted two others in connection with a plot to murder Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt in 2014.
The 10 men were sentenced to a five-year jail term after being found guilty under charges of criminal conspiracy and abetment to a crime punishable by life imprisonment and sections of the Arms Act.
The police claimed that the attack was planned to spread terror in the entertainment industry after one of the absconding accused refused overseas distribution rights of a film. However, the gang was arrested before the execution of the plan.
