Filmy’s ‘Aaj Ki Fimly Khabar’ features Raveena Tandon
Astonished by a direct query about the incident where she poured wine on somebody’s head in a party, Raveena Tandon replied that the person was her husband’s ex-wife, she enjoyed doing it, and it was not at all impulsive. To enforce her point she said that she had decided two years back how she would react on seeing her husband’s ex-wife. Watch the entire episode of Aaj Ki Filmy Khabar (AKFK), India’s first authentic filmy news show, which airs this Wednesday, 10th May 2006 at 7:30 pm, only on FILMY.
Raveena used this opportunity to reveal the true story & defend all allegations levied on her. The ex- wife was bad mouthing Raveena and her husband Anil Thadani, and taking undue advantage of her husband’s good and dignified nature. Why she did not take the legal route? Asked, Mayank. “I did not have proof, had I gone legal, the person would have been trapped badly. My objective was to publicly humiliate and teach her a lesson and not spoil her life,” said Raveena.
On being asked why there is so much disparity between the life span of an actor vis-?-vis an actress she said, “an actor is accepted as a superstar at the age of 64 whereas actresses are written off as early as 30”. On her plans of getting back to mainstream cinema or television, Raveena said she is hearing scripts but still enjoys her sabbatical.

Every Wednesday AKFK has a non-interrogative session hosted by Mayank Shekhar – a platform for a celebrity to express his or her opinion on any controversy – this week’s episode will feature Raveena Tandon.

BBC to cut up to 2,000 jobs in biggest overhaul in 15 years
Cost pressures and leadership change drive major workforce reduction plan
LONDON: BBC has unveiled plans to cut up to 2,000 jobs, roughly 10 per cent of its global workforce, in what marks its biggest downsizing in 15 years.
The announcement was made during an all-staff meeting led by interim director-general Rhodri Talfan Davies, as the broadcaster moves to tackle mounting financial pressures and reshape its operations.
Between 1,800 and 2,000 roles are expected to be eliminated from a workforce of around 21,500. The cuts form part of a broader plan to save £500 million over the next two years, aimed at offsetting rising costs, stagnating licence fee income and weaker commercial revenues.
In a communication to staff, BBC interim director-general Rhodri Talfan Davies said, “I know this creates real uncertainty, but we wanted to be open about the challenge,” acknowledging the impact the move would have across the organisation.
The restructuring comes at a time of leadership transition. Former director-general Tim Davie stepped down earlier this month, with Matt Brittin, a former Google executive, set to take over the role on May 18, 2026.
While some cost-cutting measures are being implemented immediately, the majority of the structural changes are expected to roll out over the next few years, with full savings targeted by the 2027–2028 financial year.
The broadcaster had earlier signalled its intent to reduce its cost base by around 10 per cent over a three-year period, warning of “difficult choices” as it adapts to shifting economic realities and audience expectations.
With operating costs hovering around £6 billion annually, the BBC’s latest move underscores the scale of the financial challenge it faces, as it balances public service commitments with the need for long-term sustainability in an increasingly competitive media landscape.
