Reading the “True Media story”

Disclaimer: I see people blogging excessively these days on SRK issue…so it’s now trivial…or some would say fashionable to write on SRK ….but I would take up this chance to do some serious introspection :P

Few Bollywood bomb-shells possess brains!! So is the case with Neha Dhupia. But she once gave a statement that would definitely be the one she would remembered for -“Only sex and SRK sell”. I guess she meant in the usual jai-jai-SRK way. But I had to wait so long to get the true meaning: D. Perhaps, unfortunately the super-star got high on his own dose this time.

Our high handed VIP culture was way too much on display for the past six decades of Indian independence. But perhaps as people we have been trained to fawn at our seniors. College juniors must respect seniors. Ragging is nothing but PDP (Personality Development Program). All this gives rise to the classic Masonic pyramid structure in the society. The SRK episode is the latest one in the never-ending list of examples.

"What happened to Kalam was atrocious as he is a national leader. What happened with me is nothing in comparison to that," he said…..good at least he understands that…then just look how APJ Kalam reacted and how our Bollywood Badshah reacts!!

“But this time it was a bit too much. I have travelled to other countries. I never faced any problem in the UK where I am treated like a state guest. They escort me to the car”, says SRK. Obviously, he is the unquestioned, unparalleled (and all the other UN’s in English) demi –GOD in India. And moreover – Badshah - King Khan. Now com’on - If Napoleon Bonaparte goes to one of his territories, wouldn’t he get a rousing welcome? What’s the harm in such expectations? But the true problem is with the US constitution. It says, “All men are equal”. Isn’t it too much to expect people to have the read the visiting country’s constitution? SRK – I stand by you. You rightly deserve an escort in US as well.

"I told them I was a movie star and had recently visited the country for the shooting of my film. Nothing seemed to convince the immigration officer…” SRK says. How in the world is the security officer concerned whether he was a film star or not. No further comments. Reader should be smart enough to understand this. (Instead dumb enough – Pun intended!!)

SRK apparently called up Rajiv Shukla. Indeed, why are friends for? Don’t they say – A friend in need, is a friend indeed. Rajiv Shukla and the Congress would definitely be “treated” with a special screening of MNIK. I don’t see the Congress reacting so fast to the problems in India - or the ones faced by the Indian students in Australia. The APJ Kalam episode was supposed to be an eye-opener for all of us. But still people would affirm that respect to a former President – one of the very few non-political Indian Presidents – is important. And SRK had to come up with this tamasha. I understand there is lot at stake (he has co-produced the movie MNIK). But there is no reason why he has to even think of such a preposterous and stupid idea. He outshines us all – doing his own version of Rakhi Sawant and Emraan Hashmi.

And when this whole episode comes up - PC comes up & tweets ( I hate that term !!) and says how she is terribly upset at this!! But why PC? Oops…dint I forget that Kaminey was just released - Chalo some free publicity for Kaminey. And the Kaminey marketing team doesn’t have to scratch their heads on this!!
