Bollywood is a place where one can find everything—from affairs and divorces to love and weddings. Today, we will discuss an actress who, despite knowing that her husband was cheating, chose to stay with him. She is none other than Mumtaz. When Mumtaz Revealed That She Knew About Her Husband's Affair In the 1960s and 70s, Mumtaz was one of the actresses deeply loved by the audience for her performances. From her strong screen presence to her beauty, fans admired everything about her. In a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Mumtaz revealed that she belongs to an Iranian family and grew up in Mumbai. Earlier, Mumtaz lived in Lata Mangeshkar's neighborhood in Walkeshwar and later shifted to Govind Mahal in Marine Drive, where Jaikishan ji's house was located. After establishing herself as a leading actress in the industry, Mumtaz married businessman Mayur Madhvani in 1974. However, a few years into the marriage, Mumtaz admitted that her husband had an extra-marital affair, and despite knowing this, she could not bring herself to end the marriage. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Mumtaz said that men often have affairs secretly. 'My husband had only one,' she shared. Mumtaz further revealed, 'He admitted to me that he liked a girl in the US, but he also said that he would never leave me. I respect his honesty.' Mumtaz was so hurt by her husband's infidelity that she returned to India and had a brief affair herself. The veteran actress said, 'After that, I started feeling lonely. I was a little overbearing, I was unhappy. So I came to India. When there are thorns all around and someone brings a rose, one gets carried away. But that was nothing special; it was just a small phase which ended soon.' When Mumtaz Quit at the Peak of Her Career Mumtaz married businessman Mayur Madhvani in 1974, and she admitted that her in-laws did not want her to continue working in films after marriage. Speaking to Vicky Lalwani, Mumtaz said, 'At the time of my marriage, the Madhvani family said that I cannot work anymore. At that time, I was the highest-paid actress. Who else would charge Rs 7.5 lakh for a film? But when they refused, I quit working.'

The injured would be given Rs 50,000, he said. "Deeply saddened by the loss of lives due to an accident in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in the mishap. May the injured recover soon," Modi said on X.

A day after being sentenced in the rape case, the suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna was assigned the prisoner number at Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara Central prison, jail authorities said on Sunday. Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister and JDS supremo H D Deve Gowda, spent his first night in jail following Saturday's court verdict that found him guilty and awarded life term in the case. He was reportedly in tears and appeared visibly distressed. Prison doctors assessed his health late on Saturday night to ensure his medical condition was stable. "He broke down during the medical check-up and expressed his anguish to the staff," a senior official said. Prajwal has reportedly informed the staff that he has approached the High Court challenging the conviction. The former MP is currently lodged in a high-security cell and is being provided enhanced security. According to prison officials, the standard dress code for convicts is being followed, and he will be required to wear the uniform given to prisoners. He was allotted the Prisoner number 15528 on Sunday morning, they added. Prajwal was on Saturday sentenced to prison term for the remainder of his life, while the court slapped an overall fine of Rs 11.50 lakh on him, directing that Rs 11.25 lakh be paid to the victim, a domestic help of the family of the accused. A court here had convicted Prajwal Revanna (34) in one of the four sexual abuse and rape cases against him. The Special Court for MPs/MLAs Judge Santosh Gajanan Bhat pronounced the verdict on Saturday, after convicting Prajwal a day earlier. The case pertains to a 48-year-old woman who was working as a domestic help at the family's Gannikada farmhouse in Hassan district's Holenarasipura. She was allegedly raped twice -- at Hassan farm house and Bengaluru residence-- in 2021 and the act recorded by the accused on his mobile phone. Prajwal was booked under sections 376(2)(k) (being in a position of control or dominance over a woman, commits rape on such woman), 376 (2)(n) (repeated rape on the same woman), 354A (sexual harassment), 354B (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe), 354C (voyeurism), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 201 (disappearance of evidence) of the IPC, and Section 66E (violation of privacy) of the IT Act, by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) which probed the case. The court sentenced Prajwal Revanna to imprisonment for life and imposed Rs 5 lakh as fine, under section 376(2)(k), and imprisonment for life which shall mean remainder of natural life along with Rs 5 lakh fine under section 376(2)(n). He has been also sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for three years and Rs 25,000 fine under section 354A, rigorous imprisonment for 7 years and Rs 50,000 fine under section 354B, rigorous imprisonment for 3 years and Rs 25,000 fine under section 354C. A two year RI has also been given to Prajwal, with a fine of Rs 10,000 under section 506, imprisonment of 3 yrs and fine of Rs 25,000 under section 201, and imprisonment of 3 yrs and fine of Rs 25,000 under section 66 E of IT Act.
