With two days to go for release of Love Aaj Kal, Saif Ali Khan has resolved a major controversy surrounding his debut home production. Saif apologised to the Sikh community for sporting a trimmed beard in the movie. The Punjab Cultural and Heritage Board which had raised objection to to the portrayal of the Sikh community in the film accepted the apology from Saif in Mumbai on Wednesday evening.
In his apology Saif mentioned that he regretted not growing his beard long enough while visiting the Gurudwara to woo a girl. The movie will also be trimmed by 15 seconds as per the board's demand. Said said that his film did not try to disrespect the Gurudwara which is a place of worship for the Sikhs but considering the legitimate demands of the board he was willing to cut the scene.
This is not the first time that the Punjab Cultural and Heritage Board has raised objection to the portrayal of the Sikh community in Bollywood. Earlier films like Singh is Kinng and Jo Bole So Nihaal had run into trouble with the representatives of the Sikh community. The board also made it clear that this was the last apology they would accept from Bollywood and would not entertain such things in the future.

Says MTV Splitsvilla 2 winner Sakshi Pradhan, as she tries to clear the air about the sleep and win allegations made against her

Terming the allegations "false", Sakshi vouched she was not a "sl*t" and said she could "prove it too".
Sour grapes?
"It is a case of sour grapes. I don't know why these contestants are trying to malign me. Just because I speak my mind, doesn't mean I sleep around with people," said Sakshi. However, the 21-year-old winner was silent on the contestants who had made the accusations. Reiterating her unflinching faith in god, she said, "truth will come out one day."
'Not me'
Sakshi also added that the girl in the porn MMS tape being circulated (as reported by MiD DAY on July 22) was not her. "I am tired of shouting it is not me in the MMS. You can check my reputation in Noida (where she grew up) and Pune (where she studied) before saying it is me. I am a well-educated girl and am aware how the industry functions. Am I stupid to spread such malicious rumours about my own character? My career is about to take off and I don't need any negative publicity to push it further," said Sakshi.
'MTV professional'
Remaining loyal to MTV, the television channel that made her famous, Sakshi said she had nothing to with Joanna Magee (a top contender of the show, who was alleged to have been backed by the show's bosses in return for sexual favours.) "I don't know her and don't want to say anything about her. As far as I am aware, everyone at MTV was professional and no one had time to mingle with each other."
