Nakuul Mehta urges Rani Mukerji to LISTEN to Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma's thoughts on #MeToo as the Mardaani actress faces flak on social media

The #MeToo wave was one of the prominent things to happen in Bollywood this year. After Tanushree Dutta recounted the ordeal of how she was allegedly harassed on the sets of Horn Ok! Pleass by Nana Patekar, women from various fields came forward and narrated tales of how they were subjected to humiliation, unsolicited sexual advances and torture from everyone. At a recent round-table conference, actresses like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Taapsee Pannu, Tabu, Alia Bhatt and Anushka Sharma were talking about the topic of #MeToo. Rani Mukerji spoke about how self-defense was the need of the hour. She also said that mothers cannot be told how to bring up their kids. On the other hand, Deepika and Anushka spoke about the need for a transparent environment that allows girls to voice their fears. Many did not like Rani's POV and expressed their displeasure on social media. Actor Nakuul Mehta was one of them. He said it would have been a little better if Rani had heard what the other women on the table have to say...

It is not only Nakuul Mehta who seems somewhat disappointed by what Rani Mukerji has said. However, this is not the first time the actor has spoken lengths about #MeToo. His award acceptance speech at one of the functions was also about making a committed effort towards gender equality and making workplaces safer. Stay tuned to BL for more updates!

Trade booster: Working with Finance Ministry to ease export credit, says Suresh Prabhu

Trade booster: Working with Finance Ministry to ease export credit, says Suresh Prabhu Export credit provided by banks fell sharply by about 51.3% to Rs 22,300 crore as of September 28 from a year earlier. The commerce ministry is closely working with the finance ministry to ease credit flow to the export sector, commerce and industry minister Suresh Prabhu said on Tuesday. “One of the main challenges for export is finance. There is a decline in (export) finance, so we have taken up the issue with the finance ministry…I think, the finance minister is also looking into this (as in) how we can improve the credit flow into the export sector,” Prabhu told reporters. Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President Ganesh Gupta has been seeking adequate credit to exporters on grounds that lack of adequate loans would crimp the growth of exports. India’s exports have been hovering around $300 billion a year since 2011-12, without substantial growth. Read also |  World’s highest...

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has claimed that his administration inherited a minimum debt of N150 billion, adding that his administration is still checking the books to determine the actual total debt. Governor Makinde made the claim in a media chat on the state television on the occasion of his one month in office, The Nation reports. It was gathered that the governor threatened to expose his predecessor, Abiola Ajimobi , if he does not keep quiet about his (Makinde’s) administration. He said: “ We have confirmed N150b debt so far. We are still working to discover any other one. Some of them may be questionable. If you take bond, it is always tied to a particular project. If we want, we can do value-for-money audit.” According to Makinde, Oyo state receives N4.5b federal allocation while salaries and pensions stand at N5.5b, leaving the state with a shortage of N1b.
