There are smooth talkers, and then there’s Simon Leviev. Compared to him, most conmen are slick as sandpaper. This is how Simon rolled: go on the dating app Tinder, pose as a guy looking for love. Attributes: handsome, emotionally available, sharp dresser, and oh yeah, rich. Really rich. With pluses like that, who wouldn’t swipe right? A lot of smart, beautiful, even sophisticated women did, as revealed in the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler . “The women in the film, first and foremost, they were looking for a boyfriend. They were single, a bit lonely. And that was why they were on Tinder swiping, swiping,” explains director Felicity Morris . “Certainly, they saw in Simon something that would take them out of their ordinary life.

UK-based indie production and distribution company Bohemia Media will shift away from theatrical releases and expand its focus on developing video-on-demand projects in new plans set following the departure of its head of distribution Delphine Lievens.

For the unversed, the Shaktimaan actor said, "If a girl asks a boy to have s*x, she is not a girl, she is a sex worker. Because a decent girl belonging to civilised society would never say such things." The video was posted on his YouTube channel, Bheeshm International.
