Sensational Slap

Add to Google Reader or Homepage



Shriya, an upcoming south Indian actress, slapped a youth at Tirumala Tirupati last afternoon. This news had its own share in the Indian TV Channels beamed across all over India. The youth was brutally beaten up by the so-called escorts of the actress in front of the huge crowd gathered around and it was neatly(?) video graphed and beamed on the channels.



Later Shriya told the media that the youth tried to molest her. The youth said, “All I wanted to do is to shake hands with her!” One is not sure who tells the truth but I have some questions pertaining to this incident that bothers my mind repeatedly.

  • Is this incident so important to be covered by the so-called news channels?
  • How can it be possible for a youth to molest an actress who is surrounded by her escorts?
  • In all fairness, the actress should have lodged a compliant with the police and should not have allowed her escorts to beat a man in public. Who gave her this authority of beating someone?
  • What was the purpose of the youth’s visit to Tirumala – too see the Lord or Shriya?
  • What will he gain if he shook hands with her?
  • In what way Shriya has become more important to this youth than the Lord?
  • What are the outstanding accomplishments and contributions of Shriya to the society? All that she did is to strip her clothes and gyrate her hips in front of a camera for the sake of money?
  • When will we, the Indians, realize that celebrities are also ordinary human beings and there is no special feature in their organs nor they do have any special organs?


I am aware I will not get answers to such questions. It is a pity that even most of the educated lots behave in this manner whenever they come across a celebrity particularly female celebrity. We can say we are progressed only when we stop reacting in such fashions.
