SLUMDOGS AND MILLIONAIRES
Shabana azmi is one of the most eminent citizen and actor of our country, who is known to have taken up causes ,especially of the poor and down trodden. But, recently on her 60th birthday she and her husband, famous script writer and lyricist javed akhtar chose to do an act ,which could perhaps open the debate of how do these bollywood people really care about the people which they always pretend .
On the birthday party attended by the who's who of bollywood , She cut a cake which looked like a slum house with an open drain flowing nearby. Creative people are known to do things which doesn't always suit the sensibilities of common people, although they are in their right to express their creativity in the form of freedom of expressions but certain acts which make a mockery of the life style of a section of people(surprisingly70%) can't be brushed aside under the garb of privacy and freedom of expression. The fact that these very celebrities cry hoarse in front of t.v. cameras and news channels about how much do they care about the common people of this country, once off camera these very people become an object of scorn,contempt and sometimes ridicule for them.
Sometimes back during the release of the movie slumdog millionaire, megastar Amitabh bacchan had criticised the movie director for portraying a negative image of our country. But couple of years fast forward and the same messiah of indian culture and middle class values was seen having the same cake from the hands of shabana azmi with a gleefull smile and smugness fit for a corrupt politician.
Maybe they are bored of playing the role of mother teresa and gandhi and want more variety.
