Divya Bharti changed her religion to marry Sajid. This is what happened to her actress right before she died!
Tumblr media
Divya Bharti Special Story: Divya Bharti was one of the actresses of the Bollywood industry in the 90s, during which beauty discussions made headlines. This is why Divya Bharti became a well-known actress in the Bollywood industry after movies in a very short span of time. In his brief Bollywood career, he has worked with many of the titans of the industry. Despite starting her career at a very young age, Divya Bharti has made many films back to back in a short span of time. She was signed on to 14 films at the same time as well. Entering the Bollywood Industry with Govinda Divya Bharti debuted in the Bollywood industry in 1992 with the film Vishwatma. But let me say that previously she worked in her Divya's Telugu films where her beauty and innocence made her people admire her and her beauty and simplicity brought her to the Bollywood industry. Her first successful film for Divya Bharti was Shola Aur Shabnam opposite Govinda. This film made him an overnight star. Married at 18, died at 19 When Divya Bharti died on April 5, 1993, bidding farewell to the world at the young age of 19, she got married. In fact, at the age of 18, her Bollywood industry famous producer and director Sajid Nadiadwala married her. Divya not only got married at the age of 18. She converted to Islam for Sajid Nadiadwala and Divya became Sana Nadiadwala. What happened to Divya before she died? News of Divya Bharti's sudden death at the age of 19 shocked everyone. At the same time, after her death, it was widely reported that Divya started her drug addiction at a young age. However, his mother responded to these reports, saying she never did drugs. Yes, it is certainly true that he drank rum that day. For many years, the investigation into Divya Bharti's death continued, but there was no disclosure of any kind. So in 1998 the case was closed. Divya Bharti was returning to Mumbai from Chennai after finishing the shooting on the day of her death. He injured his leg during filming. Around 10pm, some friends came to his house on the 5th floor of the Tulsi Apartments in Versova, West Andheri, Mumbai. In the meantime, Divya Bharti was sitting and drinking with his friends. At that time Divya's maid was cooking her food in her kitchen and Divya was sitting by her window and directing her. Then Drunk Divya's hand slipped and fell straight from the window without a grill. He suffered many serious injuries in this accident. He was rushed to Kapoor Hospital, but died shortly after arriving in the emergency room. Sajid Nadiadwala remained in the circle of questions. After Divya's death, many serious allegations against Sajid Nadiadwala were also leveled. The investigation found nothing about Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid Nadiadwala still loves Divya Bharti very much and this is why he still keeps Divya Bharti's picture in his wallet. Not only that, he considers Divya's family as his own family.

LEVERAGE (PT 2)
A DEADLY CLASS ONE SHOT
— PAIRING: Marcus Lopez Arguello x Reader — WORD COUNT: 2,202 — WARNINGS: Cursing, violence, kidnapping — REQUESTED BY: N/A; literally one person commented that they wanted a part two and I already had it planned so- — A/N: So....... this got super long. Oops lol. I used some of the same dialogue from episode 10, but most of this deviates from the original source material which I did on purpose because it fit better for the sake of this story so please don’t come for me about not sticking to the “right” plot- Anyway, I had lots of fun writing this, and I hope you guys like it :)
Tumblr media
Marcus could’ve sworn he felt his heart drop straight out of his chest when he got back to the van and saw you weren’t there. It was the strangest thing—he’d snuck off as the fight inside Shabnam’s house died down with a weird feeling that he should go check on you, needed to make sure you were still okay. You’re just being paranoid, he’d told himself, but he had to follow his instincts, just to be sure. Instead of finding you safe and sound where he’d left you, however, you were nowhere in sight.
When Marcus got back to the sprawling mansion, his friends were regrouping on the bottom floor in the kitchen. “Has anyone seen Y/N?” he asked as soon as he was within earshot, not even bothering to keep his voice down.
As the rest of the group exchanged questioning glances, Billy sighed. “I told you not to bring them,” he said, but he started to get to his feet regardless as if to help search the house, but Marcus was quick to shut him down.
“No, you’re right,” Marcus agreed. “It was my idea, and it’s my fault we’re even in this mess. I can’t risk losing any of you, too. Go back to the van. I’ll catch up with you guys later.”
The calm facade he’d put up for his friends’ sake was gone as soon as they were. Running through the house, bat poised and prepared to strike down any redneck friend of Chester’s that dared to get in his way, Marcus was absolutely frantic. Each time he called your name and no answer returned, gruesome images flashed in his head of all the reasons that could’ve been the case, of all the things he’d endured at the hands of Chester in Sunset Boys’ Home, and while he wouldn’t wish those things on anyone—especially not you, of all people—he couldn’t help that his mind naturally wandered to where his worst fears lied in wait, ready to overtake him at the first sign of danger.
You’re being paranoid, he told himself. This is like Vegas all over again. They’re fine. They probably just—
In Marcus’s haste and clouded state of mind, he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going, and the sound of a cage door rattling cut off his internal monologue. “What the hell?” he muttered, fumbling in his pocket for his lighter. The room was dark, too dark to make out any specifics save for the vague outline of a figure squatting inside the small, metal prison. The flickering orange glow of the flame coming from the lighter in Marcus’s hand revealed his company—an old, angry woman in a pig costume snarled at him from behind the bars, and he couldn’t say he blamed her—he would’ve been pretty pissed, too, if Chester had dressed him up like an animal and caged him like one. It had been bad enough having had to share a room with him.
“Love him, my bull god!” the woman shouted abruptly. “Love him with your murder stick!”
She probably would’ve said more if it weren’t for the sudden bullet she received to the head. Marcus stumbled away in surprise, dropping his bat in the process. “What the fuck?” he said, ducking as he glanced around warily for the source of the deadly shot.
“A bat?” said Chester, stepping out of the shadows, gun in hand. “You watched the Warriors too many times, bud.”
And before Marcus knew what was happening, Chester overtook him like he had done so many times before.
The first thing Marcus noticed when he came to was the warmth. He opened his eyes, blinking in the bright light of the many bulbs that had been drilled into the makeshift sign that leaned against the wall beside him—Fuck Face, it read, in big, red lettering.
The next thing he noticed was the tape on his mouth.
Shit. He didn’t have time for this.
Marcus was vaguely aware of the old man from Shabnam’s party—the one who’d tried to correct him about what classified as a gravity bong—giving some sort of talk show introduction, but his attention was focused on where Chester stood behind the camera, now wearing a tacky blazer over his t-shirt and a manic grin on his mangled face. He seemed defenseless at the moment, and one look at Marcus’s unbound wrists told him that he could make a run for it, but he didn’t. It was too easy. Marcus had already underestimated Chester enough as it was, and he doubted he could live through making that same mistake again.
Instead, Marcus remained planted to his seat on the couch, but his eyes followed Chester as he moved to sit in front of the camera. Marcus saw Chester’s mouth move, he heard the music playing softly in the background, but it felt distant, like it was nothing more than a scene he was watching on a TV screen. It was as if he was a member of the live audience Chester was supposedly talking to through the camera lens, being forced to take part in the horrific game Chester was playing, and he couldn’t find the remote to change the channel to something better, something more pleasant where you were still safe with him.
“You’re gonna admit that you’re not the Orphanage Killer.”
That sentence alone was enough to bring Marcus back to the present. His dark eyes narrowed at Chester, whose smile faltered ever so slightly.
“And if you don’t,” he continued, “I might just have to take somethin’ of yours in return.”
Marcus’s brow furrowed. He didn’t want that to mean what he thought it did, but Chester turned to the man on the other end of the couch and said, “Why don’t you bring in our special guest, Mr. Shandy?”
The older man disappeared into a back room, and when he came back, he had you by the arm, leading you onto the shoddy set that Chester had put together for his talk show. You caught Marcus’s gaze as you were prodded toward the vacant sofa cushion beside him, silently pleading for help.
And Marcus wanted to help you, but for the first time in his life, the only thing he could think of was the consequences. He was scared, scared of losing you, but even more so of being the one responsible. He’d never be able to forgive himself if you suffered because of something stupid and reckless he’d done as some poor attempt to be the hero yet again. He was already the reason you were in this mess at all, and he couldn’t risk dragging you down any further into the hole he’d dug for himself. So, Marcus sat, watching quietly as you were placed next to him, unable to meet your tear-stained face.
“I found this pretty, little thing out in the yard,” explained Chester, “and I was about to kill them for seeing too much when I realized something. After your fireworks display, I needed to get back the upper hand. I needed some leverage. You’re too much of a good guy, Marcus, always tryin’ to save everyone, so I knew you’d come runnin’ straight to me once you found out they were gone. It was only a matter of time.” He paused, letting his words sink in, his gruesome grin returning. “So, either you give me what I want, or I’ll hurt you the way you hurt me. An eye for an eye and all that.”
You glanced nervously at Marcus, but he stared straight ahead, his jaw set and gaze hardening.
Chester waved a hand at Shandy, who reached across you to rip the tape from Marcus’s mouth. Marcus winced, but he didn’t make a sound save for the quiet exhale of breath that escaped past his lips. He was eerily calm, and you hated it. While you were moments away from yet another breakdown, he was just as stoically unreadable as ever.
Swallowing, Marcus, at last, said, “Chester killed all those people.”
Chester leaned forward in his seat. “Because?”
Marcus’s eyes darted over to you, then back at Chester. Why was Chester dragging this out? It was supposed to be simple—give Chester the credit he thought he deserved, and maybe you’d have the chance to walk away unharmed—mostly, anyway, though being held hostage in a stranger’s basement is bound to have lasting psychological effects. Marcus wasn’t so sure about himself—knowing Chester, he’d want to exact some sick sort of revenge—but he didn’t care about himself anymore. Your safety was all that mattered, but Chester seemed no closer to letting you go now than he did when you were first brought in. Marcus needed to buy more time. No, said the voice at the back of his head. You need a plan, dumbass.
So, Marcus did what he did best: he improvised. He was no stranger to talking his way out of dangerous situations, so what was one more? “B-because,” he started, his gaze drifting through the room as if he was going to find the words he needed scratched into the walls or hanging off of the ceiling.
Chester again leaned forward, this time so far you were sure he’d fall out of his chair. He gave Marcus his undivided attention, eagerly waiting for the next sentence to fall out of your boyfriend’s mouth.
“He’s desperate for some semblance of significance in the world,” Marcus continued, “to make a mark even if it is just a smear shit stain.”
What the hell? you thought, your irritation growing by the minute. You weren’t sure how kidnapping worked—this was only your first time playing the victim—but you were almost certain you were supposed to appeal to your enemy’s better nature. Tell them what they wanted to hear, and maybe they’d have mercy.
Marcus knew better, though. Chester wasn’t capable of mercy. All he knew was anger, an anger that, if fueled enough, could become blinding. Marcus was well-acquainted with that fiery rage—the scar on his face was a testament to that—and if he could redirect it onto himself, he could act as a shield for you.
Chester’s face fell, an eye twitching.
“Because he can’t make anything, so he destroys,” Marcus said, pressing on. “Because he’s the kind of guy who’d screw a goat on national television if it got people to pay attention.”
You wanted to scream at Marcus to stop, to tell him that he was only making things worse, but the tape on your mouth and the sheer fear of what would happen if you took it off prevented you from doing so.
“He doesn’t need a camera to do that.”
The focus of the room’s inhabitants shifted onto Dwight Shandy. There was a pause, the only noise filling the sudden void being his misplaced laughter, before Chester bolted upright, grabbed the gun off the corner of his desk, and lunged at Shandy.
“You hypocrite!” yelled Chester.
Maybe Marcus should’ve been thanking Dwight Shandy for drawing the attention onto himself and being the ultimate recipient of Chester’s rage, causing enough of a distraction for the Nicaraguan to grab your hand and drag you off the couch, but there was no time. Marcus led you aimlessly through the bottom level of the house, unsure from which direction he’d come but absolutely certain that he had to get you as far away from Chester as possible.
“I ain’t finished with you, boy!” Chester yelled, his voice echoing down the hallway after you as you ran. Marcus squeezed your hand tighter, pulling you to the side abruptly and into an alcove just out of sight. The space was small, and despite Marcus’s somewhat composed performance on set, you could feel his heartbeat hammering against you now, his breathing ragged as he held you close, doing his best to block you.
Soon after, Chester ambled past, unaware of your hiding spot. Carefully, Marcus crept out after him, much to your dismay.
The room was too dimly lit for you to see anything more than the faint outline of the two boys as they fought just on the other side of a tall shelving unit. One of them got thrown to the ground—Marcus, you assumed, if Chester’s bragging was any indication—as the other hovered over him, landing punch after punch. Eventually, you had to turn away, snapping your eyes shut as you forced down the taste of bile in your throat.
There was a metal clang, followed by the screech of a latch as a cage door opened, and the angry dog within was set free. Claws scrabbled against concrete, teeth snapping, and a set of hands grabbed you by the shoulders. You nearly jumped out of your skin as you cautiously opened your eyes only to see Marcus, now covered in blood, staring down at you. He gently grabbed a corner of the tape covering your mouth, his expression apologetic as he peeled it off.
You sighed in relief, collapsing into Marcus’s arms. “Is this what they teach you at that school?” you choked out, another round of tears already beginning to soak your boyfriend’s t-shirt.
Marcus buried his face in your hair. “You have no idea.”

Marde Bazande (The Loser man)
Tumblr media
Marde Bazande is the latest movie directed by Mohammad Hosein Mahdavian which was first shown in the 40th Fajr festival. Having already made a name for himself by directing Shishleek and the blockbuster series Zakhme Kari exclusively shown by Televika, Mahdavian decided to go for a different story though working along with the same cast from Zakhme Kari.
A middle-aged detective, Ahmad Khosravi is assigned to a murder investigation and having looked for clues, discovers a corruption network. Ahmad is relentlessly trying to catch the culprit at the expense of his private life and that of his two children. He thinks he’s about to unravel this crime mystery when he is all of a sudden in for a surprise!
Cast and crew of the movie
Javad Ezati, Rana Azadivar, Anahita Dargahi, Babak Karimi, Mehdi zaminpardaz, Majid Nowroozi, Amirhosein Hashemi, Amir Dejakam, Sajad Babaei, Manoochehr Alipoor, Shabnam Ghorbani, Venoos Kaneli and Melika Pazoki are the actors of Marde Bazande. The script of the movie is co-written by Hosein Hasani, Ebrahim Amini and Mohamad Hosein Mahdavian. Amir Banan and Kamran Hejazi are the producers of Marde Bazande.
What movie critics have to say
Seyed Ehsan Emadi
This movie is definitely a step, if not more, backward in Mahdavian’s career path! The plot offers nothing beyond he has already maneuvered around in Zakhme Kari, that is speaking vaguely of Iran’s corruption networks which go to any lengths to gain what they want, brutally crossing all the red lines and committing the most dreadful crimes. Alas, the movie only obliquely refers to such nasty crimes, though for understandable reasons. Just as Zakhme Kari series, Marde Bazande fails to delve deeper into such crimes. What’s the point of all this superficiality? You may wonder!
The artistic and dramatic aspects of Mahdavian’s work, though this time void of his typical ambitiousness, is just like his other movies. One or two adrenaline-pinching scenes, such as car chasing scenes or the train about to come any moment when one criminal is tied to the train track, though performed well have nothing to say compared with Derakhte Gerdoo or Rade khoon glorious sequences.
 Contrary to Peyman Moadi’s role in Majaraye Nimrooz or Javad Ezati’s in Lottery, Ezati is really not a plausible option for a stubborn and smart detective who happens to be a grandfather! Only is it in Ghahveye Talkh as a comedy series that Javad Ezati can play the role of an old man! In Marde bazande, his playing the role of an elderly is nothing short of hilarious!
In the first trimester of the film, we mistakenly think we are busy watching a robust detective story! But as we continue watching, we realize how shallow the whole concept is! The detective’s troubled relationship with his son is a cliché at its best! Babak Karimi’s secretive and mysterious personality adds to the complications of the scenario.  As a result, Marde Bazande is not even as good as Lottery! After all these unrelated happenings, the mystery is unravelled in the most irrational manner and makes the viewer wonder why it took the director two good hours to take them to where they finally got!
With seven movies, one documentary and a 15- episode serial only in 6 years, Mahdavian is known as a very prolific director. Still, I suppose he should give himself a break as the ideas and emotions behind movie production sometimes do need to sink in
 Mohamadreza Moghadasian
Marde Bazande depicts the life of an aging silver-haired detective whose life is unsettled and is supposed to solve a crime mystery. He’s a hopeless loser who despite his miserable personal life, have always tried to be moral and to follow the path of righteousness. Dedicated entirely to his career, his relationship with his son has gone south, but this very criminal case is a watershed in his personal and professional life. Going through something akin to a metamorphosis, he manages to overcome his fear and uncertainties and takes a bold decision.
The script of this movie is quite an improvement compared to Mahdavian’s previous work, Zakhme Kari, thanks to his co-writer Ebrahim Amini. Javad Ezati’s playing the role of a man in his mid 60s is also truly remarkable. He has starred in many movies directed by Mahdavian playing a variety of roles. In Marde Bazande though, he has managed to successfully pull it off to act as an elderly man and definitely deserves to be nominated for the best male leading actor.
The director has done a superb job regarding filming, framing and photography to illustrate the modern society of Iran. However, his fear in being more outspoken regarding the plot is his Achilles’ heel which is particularly noticeable towards the end of the movie when the viewer expects their questions to be answered but is instead left high and dry!
The rampant corruption has penetrated the society and the detective who is supposedly the protagonist of the story, can’t even be remotely effective in serving justice! The loser man remains a loser man! He finally patches things up with his son, but that’s a negligible victory compared with what the audience expects him to have achieved!
Tumblr media
Merits of Marde Bazande
Javad Ezati’s stardom
Mahdavian’s progress to non-historical genre and his relative success in storytelling
Kamal Poor Kaveh
In the light of this film, Mahdavian is now a director who has launched his journey on the path of success by providing his viewers with different movies every time. Marde bazande is a very intricate crime movie which reminds us of Raymond Chandler’s novels and his popular detective Philip Marlowe. He’s surrounded by lie, envy and opportunism and is ultimately able to provide us with the clues.
 The usual elements of a crime movie are all present in Marde Bazande. A murder case, a determined investigator, rainy streets, a seductress and sophisticated financial and emotional affairs are all combined in this mystery and as the plot thicken, more suspects come into play.
Javad Ezati will probably stay in his fans’ minds for many years to come in his role as Ahmad, the aging adamant detective with his rough voice and unique posture.
 The biggest pitfall of this film is its many dialogues which can puzzle the audience especially those with less intense concentration.
Merits of Marde Bazande
The main actor’s deep understanding of his role as a lonely, yet determined  detective which is exemplary in cinema of Iran
Less use of dramatic music which is orthodox in detective movies
The bird’s-eye view of the leading character at the last sequence of the film which highlights his loneliness and his moving toward a different     direction
Reza Saemi
Having already tried his hand at a detective genre in Zakhme Kari production, Mahdavian has produced yet another whodunit movie. It touches upon the financial corruption between the blue bloods of Iran
(the politician’s children mainly sons) and tries to solve a murder which has its roots in governmental and economic mafia. Marde Bazande is both a melodrama and a mystery which condemns the status quo!
Among its many positive points, I can mention the great picture composition, the amazing play by Javad Ezati and his thick different make up, but above all introducing a detective who is a devastated aging father and an outcast investigator who is eventually removed from the criminal case when the big investors exert their influence.
Marde Bazande is the story of those heroes who don’t become corrupted merely to win
Merits of Marde Bazande
A  non-stereotypical picture of an Iranian detective
Javad Ezati’s extraordinary performance
Seyed Arya Ghoreyshi
Mohammad Hosein Mahdavian has now once again returned to his realm of power after having a different experience with the movie Shishleek. Marde bazande is a dark intricate thriller which targets the country’s political circumstance. A victim’s suspicious murder leads us to a world of mistrust. Within the classic genre of a crime movie, Mahdavian and his team have tried to address some of the thorny issues of Iran at present. We are also reminded of the fact that how forged the terms social genre or social movie are.
Marde bazande meets the primary expectations of its viewers. It can keep the audience at the edge of their seats for as long as two hours. It has moved beyond the conservative norms followed in the cinema of Iran due to the courage shown by Mahdavian and his co script writers.
Having said that, this movie is by no means a number one movie and has many flaws! The detective and the melodrama genre are not blended well with one another and this has made Marde Bazande a dichotomous film! This allegedly loser of a father and a detective is now trying to prove himself to the world as he gradually changes both in his personal and professional life. Still, the movie suffers from lack of unity.
Another shortcoming is raising the viewers’ expectations at the beginning of the movie and not being able to meet it by the end as at first, we expect a startling revelation is about to take place, but are completely disappointed by the end! Of course this can be due to the sensitive content of the film.
Rest assured, Mahdavian is a very competent director who knows how to rub his viewers the right way. If only he and his colleagues would go the extra mile to make the script richer in content so that the result wouldn’t be a relatively appealing but an imperfect film.
Merits Of Marde Bazande
Javad     Ezati’s facial mimicry to convey a vast spectrum of emotions
The     director’s effort to be loyal to the genre, though imperfect
Touching     the less talked-about topics in the cinema of Iran
Ali Seifolahi
It’s an example of a detective story with the film noir genre. It consists of a typical weary detective with a traumatic life, a complicated crime, a mystery to unravel and a seductress with a lot of censorship! Beyond the rainy streets, the movie has three layers of story: the investigator’s effort in finding clues, the discovery of a corruption network connected to the government and the detective’s failed relationship with his son.
The movie could have become a blockbuster! It could have been a very entertaining detective story illustrating the fears and the pains, the victories and defeats of the detective, it could have become a perfect example of a melodramatic and detective genre, but alas, didn’t become any of them as it fell into the trap of cliches and turned into a pedestrian film with a very conservative approach. They could have written any name in front of the title of the director but Mahdavian! What a pity!
Merits Of Marde Bazande
Hadi     Behrooz’s film-taking
Shabnam     Ghorbani’s act as Marzieh
Amir     Hosein Hashemi’s act as the detective’s assistant
Ahmad Shahvand
Considering its every aspect, this movie is lackadaisical! With due respect to the leading character and his role, Javad Ezati reminds us of Baba Eti in Ghahveye Takh comedy series! Therefore, the whole movie goes to waste and apart from one or two scenes of the accidents and the railway, there’s nothing to flex!

Temporary Marriage or Legal Prostitution?
Shabnam Barati
My quest started by questioning the reason behind the stigma around a legally and religiously accepted institute and its great impact on even foreigners’ perception of temporary marriage as legal prostitution. My resources were less than 15 movies produced after the revolution, two documentaries on YouTube, and a few academic papers which the latest dates back to 2012. Firstly, we need to know briefly about different types of marriages in Iran.
Tumblr media
Legal marriages: Permanent and Temporary
The Islamic Republic of Iran recognizes two types of marriage: permanent or Nikah, and temporary or Sigheh. To be valid, temporary marriages need to have the legal form of the contract. However, this permission is given to the couple to contract this marriage verbally and just between the two of them as it doesn’t need witnesses nor to be registered, in contrast to the permanent marriage. In a temporary marriage, the duration should be precisely determined and can vary from one hour to 99 years. In Mut’a marriage, a consideration should be specified to be paid to the wife which is the equivalent of Mahr in permanent marriage, only less.  Besides this, a man doesn’t have to provide financial support for his temporary wife, a right reserved to a permanent wife. And last but not least, a man is allowed to make four permanent marriage contracts and as many temporary ones as he desires, while a woman can only have one husband of any type at a time (Ghodsi, 1994). 
Temporary marriage in Iran’s cinema after 1979
If one watches one or two of the movies about this topic, the rest of the list is not any different except for the names and some other details. The plot of these movies is about a man who has a family and a secret temporary wife who’s usually younger and married to him because of either love or financial needs (in the latter case, she’s probably a widow or divorcee). After a set of events, the secret is revealed, and the family becomes about to fall apart. In the end, either the regretful man can save his family or is left alone because his temporary wife also becomes penitent and leaves him. Nothing good comes out of these marriages in any of these movies.
I recall when one of these movies became so controversial as it was -or the first time- about the custody of a child who was born in a temporary marriage. Islamic law reserves equal rights for the children of permanent and temporary marriage, but to be recognized by the father is completely another story.  
In the bazaar of sexes: legal prostitution in Iran
In the bazaar of sexes is a portrait of a bachelor who wavers between the fear of relationships and a longing for love, a divorced woman fighting for survival, and a man of faith who tries to reconcile the lived sexuality of others with his dogmas around the institution of temporary marriage (W-Film, N. D.). Sudabeh Mortezai looks at the Shi’i Iranian sexual and gender politics in the lower class part of the society. Mortezai openly shows all the struggles and dichotomies in Iran’s society caused by the neverending clash of modernity and religion that has led to the opposition between the people and the state. 
youtube
Law of Desire: Temporary Marriage in Shi’i Iran
Shahla Haeri’s Law of Desire is the most comprehensive academic publication on the topic of Temporary marriage in Iran, which is based on her fieldwork back in 1989. In her book, I could find the reason for the stigma around Sigheh and its association with prostitution. Haeri highlights the taboo of women’s sexuality which is not something formed after the revolution. She claims that the mandatory unveiling by Reza Shah in 1936 followed by a more liberal approach of his son allowing women to dress as they wanted, led to the increase of unveiled women and consequently their representation in the media. However, there was hardly any debate about their sexuality. Pahlavis considered temporary marriage an archaic aspect of the religion and tried to push it to the margins of society (Haeri, 1981). Although the religious framework of the country didn’t let them outlaw the temporary marriage, their silence on the topic in general discourses and even in the Family Protection Law (1967) made the public believe it was prohibited (Haeri, 1981). Having lost its respectability, Zawaj Mut’a became a matter of secrecy, and the people who resorted to it started to hide it from their family and friends. As a result, the specifics of the institutions became ambiguous (Haeri, 1981). 
As Haeri (1981) demonstrates, when the Islamic regime took over, they started trying to revive the temporary marriage to remove its negative connotations and reintroduce it from a new perspective. Identifying prostitution as a challenge to social order and the sanctioned rules for the association of the sexes, Shi’i scholars distinguish it from temporary marriage and believe that the latter is a divine way to satisfy a very natural need according to the social and religious rules (Haeri, 1981).
The majority of society doesn’t grant legitimacy to temporary marriage. Most middle-class women don’t acknowledge it as the recognition of women’s sexuality and active role in initiating a relationship; they see it as a threat to their marriages Haeri, 1981).  
Haeri states that even though temporary marriage is still stigmatized and marginal, there are widowed or divorced women, utterly from the less favorable socioeconomic background, who make contracts of temporary marriage as it brings them financial support and a better status in society. Drawn upon her interviews, Haeri (1981) argues that these women are aware of their sexual appeal to men, initiate relationships, and some perceive temporary marriage as an “escape”.

She killed 7 members of her own family while pregnant. Now her son could be orphaned by execution
Neighbors woke to a woman's cries for help just after 2 a.m. in Bawan Kheri, a village in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Sleepily, they emerged from their homes to find a horrific scene of mass murder.Lateef Ullah Khan, one of the first to arrive at the two-story family home on April 15, 2008, found villager Shabnam lying unconscious on the floor near her father, Shaukat Ali, whose his neck was slashed.The bodies of Shabnam's two brothers, her mother, sister-in-law and 14-year-old cousin lay almost beheaded in a blood-splattered room, court documents showed. Her baby nephew, who they would later discover had been strangled to death, appeared to be asleep between his parents' bodies.The case hit headlines -- not only had Shabnam murdered seven of her family members, including a 10-month old child, but she was eight weeks pregnant at the time. Shabnam and her lover, Saleem, were found guilty of the murders and sentenced to hang.If she is executed, Shabnam -- who, like Saleem, is only referred to in court documents by one name -- will be first woman given the death penalty in India since 1955.But with her execution looming, Shabnam's legal team is trying to halt it -- and is arguing that she is a victim, too. Lawyer Shreya Rastogi says her client, who has never admitted to the crime, is a casualty of a patriarchal society that puts caste above all else.เกมคาสิโน

Thoughts on Barsaat Ki Raat
Ngl after reading Noor’s comment “EW GOD NO BHARAT. But every single song is a home run soooo…” (find it here along with other Madhubala movie suggestions), I was intrigued to watch it.
It starts off ok, although the first time they meet is really weird. Surely I’m not the only one who thinks he was so creepy? I mean Shabnam (Madhubala) couldn’t even wait for the rain to stop and ran away.
Tumblr media
and then after she knew who he was 
Tumblr media
Girl...
Not to be harsh on Bharat Bhushan, but I thought he was bland. While his tragic artist act worked in Baiju Bawra, here it just fell flat. I would’ve been A LOT more invested in the love story had another more charismatic actor played the role. The attire and poetry can’t hide the fact that he had nearly one expression throughout the whole movie. 
Tumblr media
There isn’t much happening in the story. I was excited to see K.N Singh as the angry father but sadly he didn’t do much! Things just fizzled out and ended fast.
Here’s what makes Barsaat ki Raat watchable though :
The three actresses, especially Shyama (Shama) and Ratna Bhushan (Shabab) as the qawwal’s daughters. They work so well together, you can’t even take your eyes off them during the songs. I loved Shabab’s sass, it made her stand out among the more reserved ladies. I don’t particularly agree that the female characters are strong, considering the fact that Shabnam spent the second half of the film moping. 
Tumblr media
The music by Roshan. I love qawwalis and the three that were featured in are exquisite. Nigah-e-Naaz Ke Maron Ka Haal Kya Hoga is my favourite so far.
The lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi. I don’t necessarily mind if the songs aren’t translated, but the subtitles are essential in this case. The lyrics contribute so much to the songs, they won’t be as meaningful in my opinion.
Overall it’s a decent watch, if you can handle the rather lukewarm hero and just enjoy the music and actresses.
You can watch Barsaat ki Raat here. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles for the songs (Can’t find the version I downloaded ages ago). However, I have found the Qawwali songs subtitled here : 1-2-3-4.

Imagination exercise reveals COVID risk of local activities
Combining local and very real risk statistics for COVID-19 infection with an imagination exercise helped participants in a psychology study make more realistic decisions about their own risky behaviors, according to two new papers.
Study participants from all over the country who had dismissed their risks of COVID-19 and those who had perhaps over-responded to the danger both rethought their personal decisions after going through the imagination exercise. Three weeks later, their attitude adjustments still held.
The experimental intervention is now being integrated into a publicly accessible data dashboard through a collaboration between the Duke University research team and scientists at Georgia Institute of Technology. The project has funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to see if it could help more people properly calibrate their risks and behaviors during the pandemic.
The studies, which appear this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and in Nature Aging, drew on established science about memory and decision-making.
The researchers sought to design an intervention that would help people more accurately gauge the risks they face from the COVID virus while engaging in their typical local activities, such as going to the gym or getting their hair cut.
“We started with this idea that it’s important to have an accurate understanding of risk in our own local communities,” says Allie Sinclair, a graduate student in psychology and neuroscience at Duke, who led the research. “Underestimating risk is of course bad for public health because we can do risky things and put ourselves and others in danger. But at the same time, overestimating risk is not good either,” because curling up in a ball at home can be hard on one’s mental health and financial well-being.
The researchers started the experiment by asking 300 American study participants—who were recruited and tested over the internet—to gauge the local risks they faced doing 15 potentially risky everyday activities like grocery shopping or getting a haircut during the pandemic. In general, their perceptions were not in line with their local statistics, and their attitudes toward the local risks tracked closely with how well they were following public health guidance.
The imagination exercise
In a second study, the psychologists tried to change the way a different group of 735 Americans felt about their real risks.
The first part of this intervention was called the imagination exercise. A quarter of participants were asked to imagine hosting a dinner party in their home with their friends and family and to name the people who would be there. During the party, somebody coughs at the table, and then three days later is found to be positive for COVID-19. The host would then have to call all of the dinner party guests and tell them to get tested.
“By using real people you know in the imagination exercise, it’s designed to make you imagine what it would be like to experience the bad outcome of a risky decision,” Sinclair says.
Another quarter of participants faced the same scenario, but happening to an imagined stranger and their friends. The third condition was a story about a family of rabbits eating some produce that had gone a bit bad and feeling ill afterwards. The fourth condition was a control group without an imagination exercise.
After the imagination exercise, participants were asked to guess the probability (from 0%, impossible to 100%, definitely) of encountering a COVID-positive person in a hypothetical group of people from their area. They guessed the risk probabilities for group sizes ranging from 5 to 500 people.
Using up-to-the-minute county-level COVID-19 statistics, the researchers then gave participants feedback on whether they had been over-estimating or under-estimating their risks of these activities.
After finishing the imagination exercise and the risk guessing game, the participants again reported their attitudes about the riskiness of the 15 everyday activities (such as dining inside a restaurant or exercising at a gym). The intervention worked: Those who overestimated their risks thought better of 12 of the 15 activities; those who underestimated their risks were more wary of the 15 activities—though grocery shopping was apparently non-negotiable.
The group that imagined scenarios about real people had the most lasting attitude change when measured one to three weeks later.
“What do these risk numbers actually mean right now?” says Shabnam Hakimi, who co-led the project with Sinclair during a postdoctoral fellowship at Duke. “You can make it stick with context and personally relevant information.”
So many choices
The study was “kind of an intense version of many of the decisions we face, that are applicable to any kind of choice you make,” Hakimi says. The intervention’s design is related to research by Duke professors Alison Adcock, Gregory Samanez-Larkin, and Roberto Cabeza on motivational states in the brain that make it easier for people of all ages to learn and remember.
“This is a great example of how discoveries we make while trying to understand the basic workings of the human brain can give us new tools to help us live better lives,” says coauthor Alison Adcock, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of Duke’s Center for Cognitive Neuroscience. “Even for problems that might—at first glance—seem unrelated to the specific scientific questions we start from.”
Stats are better with context
In a companion paper appearing in Nature Aging, the researchers single out one group of participants, the older people, who responded even better to the personal intervention than other subjects. “Aging adults think about positive information differently and value personal scenarios more,” Hakimi says. “And that’s exactly what we found.”
Older people tend to put even more stock in their relationships and friendships, and it’s quite possible that the exercise of imagining the people they know come to harm was even more persuasive for this group, Hakimi says.
“The personalized imagination exercise worked better than just hearing the numerical statistics for older people,” says coauthor Gregory Samanez-Larkin, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience. “This highlights the importance of tailoring public health messages to specific audiences.”
“Right now, the approach typically involves giving people statistics about case numbers and things like that without contextualizing it,” Sinclair says. “And we think that’s kind of doing it a disservice because we’re not giving people enough information to understand how it actually applies to their own lives.”
“If we pair the numerical risk information with that context created by the imagination exercise, we think that will be more effective to help people understand risk and think about how it applies to their own lives,” Sinclair says.
“This research suggests that we need to better humanize data dashboards,” says Samanez-Larkin.
“It’s not about telling them what to do, it’s about giving them the tools to decide what to do,” Hakimi says.
The US National Institute on Aging, the National Science Foundation, and the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Chhapaak: As Deepika Padukone champions their cause, meet real life acid attack survivors - bollywood
Tumblr media
Muzzafarnagar’s Rupa faced the acid attack inside her own home – her step mother-in-law attacked her and even her father did not stand with her or save her. Deepika Padukone’s latest release Chhapaak salutes the spirit of those like Rupa who fight all odds with little support and emerge winners, even after having faced acid attacks. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Chhapaak is the story of acid attack survivor Malti (essayed by Deepika) who reclaims her life. Chhapaak is loosely based on Delhi’s Laxmi Aggarwal and also features Vikrant Massey. We profile few of those champions who not only braved the social stigma in a comparatively less-privileged environment of our smaller towns and cities. Also read: Joker star Joaquin Phoenix arrested in climate change protest in Washington Rupa was attacked in 2005 and has been associated with groups supporting and helping women who have faced similar attacks. “I only had my uncle for support. He stood with me throughout,” Rupa says. After staying inside the house for almost nine years, covering her face even from her own family members, Rupa found support in a group of women and began stepping out. She is now an independent woman, earning for herself and takes pride in her face. “I have realised this is my identity now. I am not ashamed of my face anymore,” she says.   Lucknow’s Mehrunnisa was in college when a neighbour attacked her with an entire bottle of acid. “He used to follow me and I had complained about him to my family who scolded him. One day, he just came close to me and threw the acid on me. I had near-fatal injuries. Because of the society’s attitude towards women like us, I did not come out of my house for long,” she says. She is now working with Sheroes Café in Agra and credits the NGO with instilling confidence in her. Anmol’s case is even different as she was just two-month-old when acid was thrown on her. Her father attacked her mom and the acid also destroyed her face, giving her major injuries. Anmol says that someone brought her to a hospital and her mother succumbed to the injuries while she kept fighting for five years in the hospital. Anmol does not know who her parents or family are. “But I have been lucky, all the hospital staff took care and ensured I was treated well till the age of five. It was only later that I was sent to an orphanage because they felt I could make a better life for myself if I study,” Anmol says. Aged 19, she calls herself a social media influencer who earns her living through brand associations and content creation for platforms like Instagram and Likee. Anmol, however, is not your conventional social media star – she is an acid attack survivor who also had to struggle with poverty and a lack of home.   Anmol started an NGO to help acid attack survivors get proper treatment but left the organisation soon. “Many people got associated with it and began treating it as business. The cost of surgery for acid attack survivors is such that if you remove 20%-30% from the donations, there is practically nothing left. I could not continue with such mentality,” she tells HT. Shabnam, who hails from Agra and works at the Sheroes Café, says she cried a lot while watching Chhapaak. More than her own plight, she was reminded of the hardships that her family faced due to the attack on her. “I feel bad that they had to see such days because of me. Had I not been in that family, they would have never faced all these things.” She worked with a contractor and did embroidery work for him and he attacked her after she did not reciprocate his advances. Reminded that the attacker is to be blamed, not her, Shabnam says, “I know, my parents keep telling me. After I came to Sheroes, I began coming out in the open. Earlier, even if I stepped out, I would cover my face. Now I do not care for what people say and simply do all that I want.” Follow @htshowbiz for more Interact with the author @swetakaushal Read the full article
