Filmmaker Leena Manimekalai’s Kaali Poster Tweet is deleted by Twitter

In response to “a legal demand,” the social media site Twitter has taken down director Leena Manimekalai’s tweet about her contentious documentary “Kaali.”

The Toronto-based director released the “Kaali” poster, which showed the title character smoking and clutching an LGBTQ flag, in the aforementioned tweet from July 2 that was quoted above. The original tweet was replaced with a notification that said, “This Tweet from @LeenaManimekali has been withheld in India in compliance to a court demand.”

When the tweet was removed by the microblogging platform is unknown. Tuesday saw the filing of separate FIRs against Manimekalai over the divisive poster by the Delhi Police and the Uttar Pradesh Police. Further, following concerns from leaders of the Hindu community in Canada about the “disrespectful depiction” of Hindu gods, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa urged the Canadian authorities to remove all “provocative material” associated with the movie.

“Kaali” was on display at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto as a part of the “Under the Tent” initiative. Manimekalai, who had been attacked for the poster, had declared on Monday that she would keep speaking out without fear as long as she lived. “Nothing is lost on my end. I want to have the freedom to speak my mind without fear for as long as I have the ability to do so. If my life is the price for it, I’ll pay it “She responded to a story about the dispute in a tweet written in Tamil. In order to comprehend the significance of the poster, the filmmaker also recommended viewers to view the documentary.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986. However, Smita Patil died soon after from childbirth complications at the age of 31. Raj Babbar got back together with Nadira a few years later.

Juhi Babbar made her film debut with Kash Aap Hamare Hote opposite Sonu Nigam in 2003. She worked in a handful of films over the next few years before taking a hiatus to do TV. In 2023, she returned to films with supporting roles in films like Faraaz and Farrey. She is married to actor Anup Soni.
