In a landmark judgement about on living in relationships, noted Bollywood Producer Gaurang Doshi was finally proved innocent in a case filed by small time actress Flora Saini alias Mayuri and Asha Saini.
On February 15 2007, Saini filed a complaint on February 15 that said she had sustained injuries and a fractured jaw alleging that Doshi assaulted her.
Saini's
contention in court was that since she was living in with Doshi and all
those injuries were during the said period, she did not want
prosecution, but a claim of Rs Rs 6.15 crores.
Doshi in the meantime has just arrived an out of court settlement with his estranged wife for Rs 2.5 crores.
The
court ruled that since Saini was aware that Doshi was already married
at the time she was his mistress, she was not at all eligible for
compensation and her application was dismissed.
The
court (Judge Mrs SC Jadhav) dismissed her contention that she was
living in a relationship in the nature of marriage with Doshi and
contended that she was not entitled for compensation as claimed by her.
The said order in the Magistrate's Court by the judge Mrs Jadhav now
says that Flora's application stands dismissed.
In court Doshi and his Advocate SS Gandhi however refuted all her claims and said that Saini was interested in making money from the producer.
This is not just Flora's claim to fame. Flora Saini
who was arrested in a fake visa case and for human trafficking makes a
comeback to Hindi films in January ironically with a film called Lakshmi
which is about human trafficking and child prostitution.
Flora was arrested
in Chennai on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 when she tried to get visa using
forged documents at American Embassy. She had gone to American embassy
along with her assistant Sri Latha (35) to obtain visa and the officials
found that she was using forged documents. Police suspected that she
was trying to take Sri Latha to USA with her. The officials found
contradictory details on the documents and questioned them. However not
convinced with the reply, they questioned the actress' agent Venkat
Reddy and he too said to have given misleading details that prompted the
Embassy officials to report to police. Following the complaint, the
police arrested Asha Saini and the two others. The actress
told the officials that she is leaving for USA for 'consulting some
producers’ about a Telugu film. Chennai police headed by Deputy
Commissioner Mourya, Assistant Commissioner Ravindran and Inspector
Irudhayam are investigating the case. 29 year old Asha Saini’s real name is Flora
and is popularly known as 'Lux Paapa' for her hit number in
Narasinhanaidu. She had acted in many films in Telugu but never made it
to the big league. She has also changed her screen name in 2008 to
Mayuri.The Madras High Court then gave her temporary retrieve and granted her conditional bail.
Flora allegedly obtained US visa by deceitful for her make-up woman. The embassy officials detected a fraud in the papers and took Flora into custody. Justice
K N Pasha passed the order on a petition by the starlet, asking her to
furnish a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties of the same
amount, including one from her mother. The judge also ordered the actress to appear daily before the Royapettah police for interrogation. The case had been registered under sections 468, 471 and 420 read with 511 IPC.
Meanwhile Saini’s entire life and career has been punctuated by multiple controversies and cases.
Saini also turned down a Pakistani film offer which also had 'Bol' fame Manzar Sehbai. Flora
claims that she was offered 'French Colony' to be directed by Sarmad
Sehbai and produced by IQ Studio (Pakistan) but the actress rejected the
role with a weird reason.
“I
was offered the lead role in 'French Colony' and actor Manzar Sehbai
had approached me personally. But I have seen Pakistani actors come to
India for work and when they go back, they talk bad and indecent things
about Indians in their Press and Media,” was her refrain then.
Controversially in 2012 Flora was inducted into the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) as a panel member.
