\r\nShabano family approaches Court against Haq. Emraan Hashmi, Yami Gautam\'s Haq directed by Suparn S Varma is releasing on 7 November 2025. The film is based on the real life incidents of 1985 Shah Bano case, which concerned women\'s rights and maintenance laws in India.\r\nHowever, even before its release, the family members of Shabano approached Court seeking ban on its release. Siddiqua Begum, Shah Bano&rsquo;s daughter, filed a petition in the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking a stay on Haq&rsquo;s release.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nEven Jubair Ahmad Khan, the grandson of Shah Bano spoke against the film. He said&nbsp; \"When the teaser was released, we learned that a movie had been made about my grandmother. A lot of facts in the teaser are distorted. It is our private matter that has been given a commercial angle. They should have taken our permission. The common people will watch the movie and think it shows true events,\"\r\nSiddiqua\'s lawyer, Tauseef Warsi said &ldquo;This film is based on the landmark case of M.A. Khan vs Shah Bano Begum. For the first time in Indian history, a Muslim woman fought for maintenance and won the case... It is mandatory to obtain someone\'s consent before using their personal life, name, as this falls under the right to privacy,&rdquo;\r\nHowever, the producer\'s lawyer Ajay Bagadiya says &ldquo;The disclaimer of the movie clearly says that this movie is inspired by two things: the 1985 Supreme Court judgement in favour of Shah Bano and a book titled \'Bano, Bharat ki Beti\'. It is a fictional depiction, and it is not necessary that everything is presented factually,&rdquo;\r\nEven earlier Siddiqua had sent a legal notice to the makers demanding an immediate halt to the \"publication, screening, promotion, or release\" of the film.\r\n

\r\nYami Gautam reacts to not winning awards. Yami Gautam made a name for herself not only with her beauty but her performance. But she didnot get any award to showcase. In the midst of all this, she reacted on not winning any awards.\r\nShe said&nbsp; &ldquo;As much as I have understood the Bhagwat Geeta, what Lord Krishna says to Arjun is true. Not that I have become that detached like the most perfect human, but if you have the ability to detach from the success and the fear of losing or seeking validation through somebody else&rsquo;s perspective, you are fine. I have stopped seeking any kind of validation from anyone. Agar who award milta hai to main bahut achi actress hoon, otherwise shayad nahi hoon. Aisa nahi hai (It&rsquo;s not that I am only a good actress if I get that award, and otherwise I am not).&rdquo;\r\nShe continued&nbsp; &ldquo;The fact that my audience loves me, certain directors and producers are willing to take a punt on me, usse bada award kya hai jab audience aapko utha deti hai. Baaki sab aana jaana hai. Audience ko hi pata hai (there&rsquo;s no bigger award than your audience lifting you up. Everything else is passe. The audience knows). If it makes somebody happy, great!&rdquo;\r\n
