MAN IS A DOG.

Social values hold him back and so not let him show his dog attitude.Man is different from other living beings tnat man has much more to do other than satisfying his physiological needs of food ,sleep n SEX.
So the celebs in question have got into the trap..
Totally wrong ont the part of media guys to provoke these celebs for their selfish ends.
These celebs are humans so why treat them as Gods.Any one could have fallen into the trap.
Totally a case of invasion into privacy...

i believe they are all adults and responsible for their actions... maybe they believe in the philosophy of "you scratch my back and i will scratch yours"


Why repeat old mistakes, when you can always make new ones!!

seriously, you dont have to be so judgemental especially when you have to apply the principle of generalization. What do you have to say about the women who accept their advances just for the sake of a petty role (going by todays movies, i believe we can do away with the heroines... no significance to their role than completely cosmetic one)... so going by ur principle of universal generalization, what do u call such women?

The controversy about actor Shakti Kapoor's indecent proposals to an undercover journalist from India TV who was pretending to be an aspiring actress, is a wake-up call to some glaring issues.

Even I feel that few of our indian channels n jounalists lack ethics. I dont think this issue can be expressed in more simple n ...

One interesting thing would be to question the morality of "RUCHI" (they call her by this name). Why not expose her as well !! Don't ...

Hi guys

I too agree that the lady journalist is also to blame.However having said that do u really believe that the reaction of Bollywood was just.Instead of owning up to their mistakes,they become agressive and put the entire blame on the media.Mahesh bhatt went on to say that even the viewers were equally responsible.Sting operations are here to stay and I believe it is a way by which you cud have some level of control over erring big shots.
Shakti Kapoor seemed to be devastated by India Tv's exposee.He was quite sad and angry that his daughter and rest of his fly were also affected by the media's operation.However he seemed more disturbed by the fact that he got caught and his truth exposed in front of his family.Probably his family wud never have known his antics ,if not for India tv,and he and his fly wud have led a happy life forever!!He says he was drunk and hence easily coerced.hey dude ,shud I then assume that whenevr u're drunk poor innocent girls are at risk??
He seemed to be perfectly in his senses when he was pleading to be left alone and constantly saying sorry!!
Bollywood needs to act soon.The casting couch syndrome is spreading among many of the big shots of the industry.I believe the day the industry comes together and says that they wud discourage the casting couch is the day I believe the media policing shud stop.
Public figures influence people thru their personal lives as well.When ure in the public's eye,please ensure that ur conduct is acceptable to the masses

She is a bitch.


That is equally true for a women also.
I didn't use man for the male sex alone.We all have got
animal instinct n therefore could exhibit it at times.
