Ameesha Patel, SRK & the eulogy of duds



If Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel creates a ruckus at the Airport and starts flinging dirty words on airline staffers how do you think the issue should be dealt with?

She should be treated with kid gloves, according to an HT mus (e) ing, because, we are reminded, she is a celebrity.

If Dean Jones calls a bearded cricketer a terrorist, he would have been just making an off-the-cuff remark, many eminent former Australian cricketers and Harsha Bhogle tell us.

So what if this poor bearded soul with no religious tag were to barge into the HT office in Mahim and start hurling abuses at this apology of a reporter solely because what ever was written was supposedly blasphemous?

Would she invoke the celebrity status to shut her ears and pass off as she wants the airline staffer to do just because the Patel in question was Ameesha?

Sad. Duds just occupy plum positions or perceived plum positions to abuse it.

There is no end to this nonsense.

Shah Rukh Khan tells us that even mothers’ milk is contaminated. Can we all raise a pesticide toast please?
