Matlab what is rape on the pretext of marriage? That sounds contradictory.

He is such an innocent looking cutie. Remember him from the Band of Boys and Jassie Jaisi Koi Nahin. Shameful act!!eew!

He was also "the ex boyfriend" who released Mona Singh's infamous video. What a jerk

Really??? Didnt know he was the one. First I sort of had doubts on this rape on pretext of marriage thing. But now its believable. What a douche.

Yeh Pooja Bedi ka best friend hai. Whats with the guys in her life. First Aditya Pancholi her bf raped her maid and now this guy doing all these sort of things.
