Bollywood Bakwas

Aamir Khan put his foot in his mouth some time back with his Bakwas on Narmada.

After a long time, there is now a competition of sorts amongst Bollywood ladies to indulge in such Bakwas.

First, it was Shabana Azmi, the self-styled secular face amongst Muslims, but in reality, a thinly disguised fanatic. She made an absolutely absurd statement that Muslims cannot get a place to stay in Mumbai. This was one of the most irresponsible statements made by her. Earlier too, she has been taking up various causes and stirring up trouble. But this statement took the cake. No one, whether Muslim or not, in right mind can believe such incredible utterances which have no substance. The statement appers either thoughtless or just to appease her own folk.

The second insensitive statement was made by the wife of Amitabh Bachchan that she would speak in Hindi since she was talking about a Hindi film. This statement was deliberately designed to poke fun of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena and Shiv Sena who have been quite justifiably trying to espouse the cause of their own language in their own state.

It is high time that the husbands of both these ladies ask them to shut up and concentrate on being good housewives.

If they cannot live without making fools of themselves, they should then go to places where they might feel themselves more welcome than in Mumbai, which is the city that has made them for what they are - false goddesses.

Such statements are designed to create disharmony amongst the peaceful people of Mumbai.
