Ranjita Nithyananda Sex Scandal Book, How to survive a scandal
Three months after the telecast of the controversial tapes that allegedly showed her with godman Nithyananda in a compromising position, actor Ranjita is busy working on a self-help book, tentatively titled 'How to survive a scandal'. And the book draws on her experience.
"I am writing this based on my experiences in the past six months, and there are so many people out there feeling traumatised and suicidal," the actor told TOI in an exclusive interview, the first after the controversy broke. "My book will help people come to terms with personal problems, and I am in talks with a couple of publishers," she says.
"I am also writing a fiction, aimed at the youth of today, but the one drawn from my experiences will come out first," says the actor, pushing back her smartly cut hair. 'Autobiography Of A Yogi' and other books by renowned spiritual gurus line the shelf in her living room. "I was always a bookworm and you move from fiction to philosophy. I am especially fond of Indian spiritual writing," says the actor, who came to Chennai early this month. While struggling for the right word or the perfect phrase, she also took time to meet up with CB-CID officials in connection with the Nithyananda case.
Asked why she went underground when the controversy broke, Ranjita goes quiet for a minute. "I do not want to hang on to the past. I want to move on. I was very hurt and went through stress and trauma. I decided to hibernate for a while," she says. "The media was writing so many negative things about me, and some were fabricating interviews. Things piled up one on top of the other. You need time to deal with such things, to reconcile, but people think actors do not deserve that kind of time," she says with a rueful smile.
She quickly adds that her husband, sisters, parents and in-laws were pillars of strength. She has a short role in 'Raavanan', but she is yet to watch the film.

Osama Bin Laden location
While admitting that the agency does not have exact knowledge about Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden's whereabouts, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) chief Leon Panetta has said that it is believed that the warlord 'is in an area of the tribal areas of Pakistan.'
Panetta, who appeared on ABC's "This Week" programme, said that intelligence agencies had last information regarding bin Laden's location in the early days of the nine year old Afghan war but there has been no information about him in the recent past.
"It''s been a while. I think it goes back almost to the early 2000s, you know in terms of actually when (bin Laden) was leaving from Afghanistan to Pakistan that we had the last precise information about where he might be located. Since then it has been very difficult to get any intelligence on his exact location," Panetta said.
Panetta, however, claimed that most of Al-Qaeda's top commanders have been taken out, and expressed the hope that the CIA would soon be able to get bin Laden and second in command Ayman Zawahiri.
"If we keep that pressure on, we think ultimately we can flush out bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri and get after them," he said.
The number of Al Qaeda members remaining in Afghanistan is "relatively small", said Panetta.
"At most, we''re looking at 50 to 100, maybe less. It''s in that vicinity. There''s no question that the main location of al Qaeda is in the tribal areas of Pakistan," the CIA chief said.
Panetta stressed that US President Barack Obama has made going after Al-Qaeda the "fundamental purpose" of the Afghan military mission.
"We''ve got to disrupt and dismantle Al-Qaeda and their militant allies so they never attack this country again," he said.
