Even before Radhika Apte-starrer "Phobia" hits screen tomorrow, there are already plans of making a sequel.

	"It seems to me that India is at some crossroads or another. You have to decide whether you're going to be stuck in the colonial past or enter the modern world. Join the rest of us, who are simply prepared to accept that we are all born equal, be it the colour of our skin or hair," he told reporters here.

Union Information and Broadcasting ministry has asked Fashion TV to abide by norms or face action citing a programme aired by the channel in which skimpily clad models were shown not as per the programming code.
	In an advisory issued today, the ministry said that in a programme 'Fotos', aired in November 2014, the channel had shown models dressed in skimpy bikini gave indecent poses.
	"Such indecent presentation of women's body appeared to denigrate women, was suggestive/obscene and also against good taste and decency," the ministry advisory said, adding that a Show Cause Notice (SCN) was issued to Fashion TV in May last year.
	The matter was examined by an Inter-Ministerial committee (IMC) in January where representatives of the channel submitted that the content mainly focuses on international fashion trends and lifestyle related topics.
	The representatives said the intention of the channel was to cover contemporary fashion-lifestyle trends and they have been sourcing such content

Richa Chadha's performance in "Sarbjit" has been applauded by critics even though the actress did not have many scenes in the Oumang Kumar-directed movie.
	Chadha, 29, said the makers had to shorten the length of the movie and so some of her scenes ended up on the cutting floor.
	"I had more scenes in the movie but they were cut for the duration of the movie. That happens. When an actor like Aishwarya has 20 scenes and six of them get cut, she still has 14 scenes.
	"Now, if I have 10 scenes and 8 of them got cut, then I have only 3-4 scenes. But I am not complaining. The reviews have been stupendous. I have always been confident of my work. It does not matter. But I feel it would have helped the film a lot more if they had kept the scenes," she said.
