Celebrity, fortune, self obsession, sensational amorality and phenomenal lack of judgement…. I was just reading an article by Mr. M J Akbar and all those adjectives that have become synonymous to a celebrity and Shahrukh Khan in particular. Quite relevant in the recent scenario where a celebrity with a talent but not sure about virtue is making uproar regarding special treatment in US. Among all those virtues that a celebrity owns by default, walking on air is quite an art. A single wrong foot and you are bang down.
The way Mr. Shahrukh Khan put the whole Govt. in motion just because he was treated just like another man in the world by US customs and border security authorities. Everybody including Mr. Shahrukh Khan are aware of the fact that this is not his first visit to US, so there must have been some reason for the fact that he was detained for the first time. At the same time US Govt. have some reasonable questions about Mr. Shahrukh Khan’s hosts.
Every celebrity is famous but everybody famous is not a celebrity. Ask Former President Mr. Abdul Kalam who did not even let any fly know that something same has happened with him at
Little while ago Mr. Shahrukh Khan did delivered a sermon to Mr. Emraan Hashmi when he complained about being denied a flat in Mumbai just because of his religious identity. Mr. Shahrukh Khan could have kept quiet but there are no brownie points for silence. Also he could not think in real terms, that celebrating the status of celebrity is not always a real opportunity. He told in bold words to Mr. Emraan Hashmi to stop crying. But when his imperial procession was marginally interrupted he wailed loud enough to be heard all over the country.
Mr. Emraan Hashmi is just pleading for home and Mr.Shahrukh Khan is just 3 letters ahead, demanding 'homage' from all of the world.
Please ‘Ssshhhhhh.. Ruk’ Khan.
