They say
Love is blind and I do believe so but in a different context.
Sanjay
Dutt, one of the known Bollywood film actors is in jail but it seems peoples
love for him has not changed at all. In fact, it seems it has increased both
within the Film fraternity and the audience. Though he has been convicted and
hence sentenced, for people that’s minimal...or may be it doesn't matter. Same
is the case of Salman Khan, he in a drunk state rode his car over 4 people and
still he is one of the most beloved and better paid Bollywood actors.
On the
other hand take the case of Shiney Ahuja. He has not been proven guilty yet
though he had to spend sometime in Jail. But he is finished now. As soon as the
news of his involvement in the case appeared in the news, it seems people has
written him off. There were reports that actresses are not ready to work with
him. Nobody knows if Shiney was really involved in the crime. But the thing is
his career in Bollywood is finished.
I wonder
why we are so indifferent, why are we so biased, why at times we ignore crime,
why we celebrate bad behavior, are we Hippocrates who talk about being good but
we actually want to be bad?
