Anara Gupta's movie screening halted in Jammu
Jammu, June 22 Former Miss Jammu Anara Gupta's debut film "Miss
Anara", based on her life story of her arrest on charges of
acting in a blue film and acquittal by a court, could not be
screened in her own native land following angry protests by Shiv
Sena activists.

The film starring Anara in the lead role was screened in 200
cinema theatres across country.
On Friday, when the film was to be released, Shiv Sainiks staged
protest demonstrations here and marched in a procession to her
house in the town, saying the film would "have an adverse impact
on society". They threatened to storm theatres screening the
film.
Anara had won the Miss Jammu title in 2001 when she was in her
teens. In October 2004, she was arrested on charges of acting in
a blue film. She was kept in custody by police and made to
confess before the media about her acting in the blue film and
under what circumstances she had done so.
The former Miss Jammu, however, retracted her statement in the
court and charged the police with framing her. Her case
attracted wide media attention. A court acquitted her after a
forensic laboratory in Hyderabad declared that the girl in the
blue film was not Anara Gupta.
More than half a dozen officers were placed under suspension for
her harassment and torture.
However, the Shiv Sena has challenged the court ruling and has
asked for a re-investigation.
The film has been produced by K.K. Yadav Productions.
