Vivek Oberoi
Yes, you read that right. If reports are to be believed then Vivek Oberoi may play the role of the dynamic Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in a film.

According to a report in Mid-Day, Vivek has been approached by a US based filmmakerMitesh Patel to play the younger version of the BJP leader and aspiring Prime Minister. It is common knowledge that Modi used to run a tea stall and even worked in the staff canteen of the Gujarat Road Transport Corporation when he was young. We'll get to see Vivek reprising the role of the politician on the big screen if he agrees to the same.

Actor Paresh Rawal has reportedly given his consent to play the older version of Modi and rumours of him co-producing the film are now doing the rounds.

After 'Krrish 3' Vivek spoke about essaying different kinds of role, guess playing a neta as powerful as Narendra Modi will be a challenging task.

Armaan Kohli's angry outbursts in the Bigg Bosshouse reached a tipping point when he was arrested on Monday following an FIR filed by British singer and actress Sofia Hayat accusing him of molestation. The police arrested Armaan after watching a clip that was not aired on the show, but was the basis of the complaint. The actor was granted bail yesterday. While TOI is not privy to what actually transpired, we spoke to people who have known Armaan in the past and his temper issues. Only time will tell whether Sofia was justified or not in this case, but one thing is for sure that many villain roles in Bollywood await Armaan when he is out of the house.

If a woman has filed a complaint against him, then I am sure it is true: Ayesha JhulkaBollywood actress Ayesha Jhulka, who was dating Armaan in the 90s, had also acted with him in a few films, but she doesn't want to associate herself with him now. She says, "I watch the show for Salman Khan. But I would never like to associate myself with a man like Armaan. He is history now and if a woman has filed a complaint against him for such a behaviour then I am sure it is true. Everyone knows him and what kind of a person he is, so my saying anything about him does not work."

He has been a girlfriend beater: Dolly Bindra
Apart from a hit-and-run case against Armaan in December 2002, there was another police case against him filed in 2008 in Mauritius by Dolly Bindra. She says, "He has been a girlfriend-beater. I had filed a case against him in Mauritius on behalf of his then girlfriend Moon Banerjee. I was adamant on taking it forward, but Moon did a volte face for reasons best known to her. Sofia has done the right thing. I am surprised why he is still inside the house. He should have been thrown out after he abused Kamya Punjabi. Kisi ladki ke muh tak kaise jaa sakte ho. I stand strongly against not just Armaan, but all men who misbehave with women. I hope Sofia doesn't get bogged down by pressure of any kind."

Don't blame Armaan, Bigg Boss provokes you to such aggressive behaviour: Raja
Raja Chaudhary, who was one of the inmates in the second season of the show, says, "Every individual has a different tolerance level to react to someone's comments. This show is such that it pushes you to take extreme steps. In that limited space, you have been living without your loved ones for such a long time and then people provoke you to say something; obviously you will lose control."On the arrest, he says, "I'm surprised about the arrest because whatever happened was part of the show. Armaan might have an anger problem, but he seems to be a soft-hearted guy."

Hurling abuses is unacceptable: Shilpa
Shilpa Saklani, who was evicted some time back from the ongoing season, says, "I stopped watching the show since Apoorva came out of the house. There is no denying that Armaan has a temper issue. Losing your temper during a task is one thing, but not being able to keep your anger in check and hurling abuses at fellow inmates on a day-to-day basis is something else altogether. I won't be able to comment if it's right on Sofia's part to file a case; it's entirely her prerogative."
