You guys have been so good in your reports. These must be very time consuming - especially for Sr. Editor. Kudos to you.
Please accept my gift of $35 for site maintenance.
I believe Trollywood was established for a good cause. Apart from entertainment and dealing various issues of sexual minorities, Trollywood donations was to be used for charity organisation like Nepal Bal Mandir.
I trust this is happening.
Dear T-Fare Supporters,
Since Natasha Rai has taken it upon herself to cast a doubt regarding our intentions at T-Fare, we would like to clearify our position.
About a month ago we had the opportunity to accept video and audio advertising on our site. This would have provided thousands of dollars in revenue. However, we decided not to allow this because the advertising would distract our readers and take away from the "community feeling" of our site.
As Senior Editor, I personally spend about 5 hours of my time every week researching, writing and editing articles - including articles written by Natasha. I have not charged a penny for this service and neither do I intend to. The ENTIRE amount raised from donations are used entirely for the purpose of charity and site maintenance.
First, regarding site maintenance, let me just say that the huge bandwidth and popular site name we are using is not free. There is no such thing as free - especially without advertising. There is a maintenance fee we have to pay to run the site and it is only fair that readers help defray these fees. Our non-profit producers and editors are already volunteering hours of their time for free. It would be unfair to ask them to pay for maintenance/administrative fees as well!
Finally, we support charities like the Smile Train that use 98% of our contribution to put a smile on a child's face instead of a frown for the rest of his or her lives. Even a multi-million dollar charity like Smile Train has some (2%) administrative fees. For more details please visit:

While we feel deeply hurt and betrayed by Natasha - our "trusted" research reporter, we hope that we have been able to clearify our intentions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kanti R. Shah
Sr. Editor - T-Fare Online
TO ALL T-FARE READER & FANS,
The accusation raised against T-Fare is shocking, to say the least. Let me assure our readers and especially all my fans that I have and always will have 100% trust in my producer/directors/publishers at T-Fare and BPP. I would NEVER question their intentions by raising doubts and starting drama against them in a public comments section.
I have accepted every role that was offered to me - whether it was in the lead role or supporting role. I did this because I had 100% trust in my producers. I knew that no matter what their personal feelings, they would NEVER stoop low as to do injustice to my role. When I asked T-Fare if I could become a reporter, my request was denied. But I never questioned their decision because I knew that whatever decision they make, it would be for the best interest of the site. I did this because I had 100% trust in my publishers. Many of my fans wrote letters that other actresses were getting better parts in BPP films, but I never questioned BPP because I refused to believe that my directors would do me or anyone else wrong. I did this because I had 100% trust in my directors. When requested by T-Fare, my entire family has given interviews. I am amoung the only 2 people who trusted T-Fare enough to allow my picture to be used free for site promotion. I did this because I had 100% trust in the producers of T-Fare.
That is why it is so shocking that the person who many people believe has always been favoured by BPP & TFO is the one that seems to have no trust in the producers of BPP & T-Fare! The doubts raised against T-Fare producers is completely unfair and I call on all my fans and supporters to rally behind me and support T-Fare in their noble cause.
In order to show my support and keep it real, I am pledging an undisclosed amount as donation to T-Fare. As you know, I am a very humble person and do not want to reveal the amount of my charitable donation.
Finally, on the occasion of Durga Pooja I would like to wish all my fans. I wish each of you have a happy and prosperous life free of all evil people.

What a shame that we are doubting the intentions of the person who brought us together on this site as a community. We should be praising him and his efforts instead of speculating that he is using money for personal gains. I am really disgusted by this.
Dear Raj Shah, I can understand how betrayed and hurt you must be feeling. All I can say is that remember, you can never make everyone happy. There will always be some people trying to bring you down. I whole-heartedly support your efforts. You don't need to give us any explanation because I as well as most people in this community have complete trust in you. I disagree with Natasha's harsh comments but I have talked to her and I know that she is a nice person. She can often come across the wrong way. She often says things without thinking about the other person's feelings. In fact this is the reason behind the wars with Richa and several others in Trollywood. But we should never judge. Maybe she is going through a tough time right now? Only she can answer why she is acting like this. Thanks.
I TRUST THIS IS HAPPENING??? This is a shock coming from BPP loyalist Natasha. The comment should be deleted. It is an insult to Kanti R. Shah's honesty.
OMG, I was just able to read all the comments now. I posted my comment on the issues of donation as it was not very clear to me the reason for the donations as it was never mentioned on T-fare. Mr Bhansali had mentioned to me once that we will donate whatever funds if we ever raise to Nepal Bal Mandir (an orphange in Nepal). I was very happy that time as I used to go to that orphange myself.
Thats the reason I took it to myself to ask this simple question
to the founder of Tfare and there was no accusation or mistrust on anyone.
If that was the case, I wouldnot have acted or written for Trollywood myself.
Nevertheless, I apologise if I hurt
Sr. editor Mr. Shah with this.
Take care
I think you guys are jumping to conclusions. I really don't think Natasha meant any harm by the comment. Please stop over-reacting guys!!
