What is the story about?
Actor and former rugby player Rahul Bose is at the centre of a controversy and the matter has reached the court. Bose has been accused of faking his domicile certificate in Himachal Pradesh to become the national president of the Rugby Federation. All of it began two years ago when the actor promised the royal family of Shimla to establish and recognise a state-level rugby association.
Divya Kumari, from the royal family of the Jubbal princely state in Shimla district, as per a report by India Today, has alleged the promises were never fulfilled. She even questioned the credibility of the actor's domicile certificate. The allegations also say how Rahul Bose was born in Kolkata, and possesses the Aadhar Card and domicile certificate of Maharashtra. The matter has now reached the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The next hearing is scheduled for December 16.
The actor told Firstpost last year, " I think the ratio remains the same. There’s some good, there’s some bad, and there’s some very average stuff. And for that, you have to understand who you’re catering to. There was this misconception that with OTT, you would now cater to the highest common denominator. Right? Because all of us want to see the wonderful things."
Bose added, "So the numbers have exploded at the lowest common denominator, and the numbers have risen in at the highest common denominator. In essence, it’s the same. You’ve suddenly gotten a massive infusion of trash and a very healthy infusion of very interesting, well made content. So the ratio remains the same because human beings don’t change. You can change the device. Human beings don’t change."
