The first blind item for December comes from Rajeev Masand. It’s about the current controversy that has been in the news for over a month now. It’s not getting any better and it remains to be seen whether this controversy will have a happy ending for this movie or still stick to what it is now.
Honestly, it is really sad and pathetic that the authorities didn’t do anything. Well, can you really be surprised? When has this country ever stepped up to protect a woman’s honour? It’s only when something bad happens that you see the authorities finally waking up and trying to take control.
It’s nice of this senior actress to put her nose in this controversy and try to find a solution to it. Funny how she thought that this actress would support her in this initiative. For one, this rebellious actress doesn’t like the actress in this controversy and the rebellious actress has gone on national television and blasted this senior actress for threatening her when it came to her own controversy.
As for the other two leading ladies in this blind item, it’s really sad that they can’t put their pathetic emotions aside to support this campaign. It’s still not surprising since these two literally have ganged up against this actress for a long time. Well, here’s hoping that this campaign really does something to stop these political parties and their idiot chamchas from making serious threats in public. This whole thing has brought unwarranted attending from the Western Media. Like if it’s not enough that they laugh at how silly Indian movies are, now they are laughing at how silly Indian people are.
Check out the blind item below from Rajeev Masand.
Bollywood Blind Item
Guess Who Ducked the Petition
A senior female actor, a firebrand feminist, has reportedly led an initiative to reach out to the Prime Minister, objecting to the manner in which protestors threatened physical violence against the leading lady of a controversial Hindi film.
The veteran actress got a strongly worded letter drafted by a Supreme Court lawyer and sent it around to other top actors, asking them to sign and put their weight behind it. Apparently, several female stars have put their name to the letter—both senior actors, and current-day leading ladies. Only three are believed to have politely declined.
One, famously rebellious, asked not to be involved. Nobody was surprised, given that few have supported her in her own crises. The second, a top star, dithered and delayed, saying she needed to consult her lawyer, but didn’t get back in time. The third, apparently asked to be excused because she holds a foreign passport and did not want to get on the wrong side of the authorities. The inside joke is that she wouldn’t have supported the film’s leading lady anyway, given their own past history.
OSOP Guesses
Senior Actor: Shabana Azmi
Rebellious: Kangana Ranaut
Top Star: Anushka Sharma
Third: Katrina Kaif
Knew that people would be attacking the petition or the petitioner instead of shaming the duplicitous liar for not condemning threats of violence. It’s women like her that make sure that any cause stumbles and falls before it takes off.
Admin, I’d like to see what you say if Hrithik would refuse to sign something like this. You just brushed Kangana’s indiscretion under the carpet.
Like we said in the intro, this whole thing is just pointless. If Shabana truly cared about threats made against women in the public place, she should have gone the whole way and fight on behalf of all the girls in India. Why don’t these women in parliament do something about this? It’s horrible what India has come to, how men are doing the disgusting and inhumane thing to women and children. There should be a law that puts men who make threats like these to jail. Enough is enough. But who is fighting for the women of India? The government needs to do something about this. And only the women in power can bring it to these lazy men’s notice.
I don’t know about Shabana political leaning. But even if it is for political motives at least she’s doing something guys. All politicians use situations but while doing it, if you are at least fighting for the right, then it’s better in my eyes. You are doing good for someone while helping yourself. So give credit where it is due.
Admin, in the list that came out Anushka name is already there as signed. So who is the third actress?
What felt disappointing than these actresses is Shivani comments here. I mean okay if you hate Deepika, but this issue is much bigger girl. Kangana or Katrina don’t have to love her to sign it and show a stand. This is a life death situation and if your own field people don’t stand up for you, then….
But even here spewing venom on the one you hate, I think you can do better than that. I think Admin should bring some restrictions at least in such sensitive issue. It’s not like a usual masala Rk love triangle going on here to comment like this. Like girl, let Deepika be evil reincarnation, and Kat and Kangana at least have their own personal reasons to hate her. But what is your problem with her, how has she hurt you that even when her life is at threat, her family is not sure if she’ll reach home back safely, all you can think about is boxers and tattoos. Like how?
I don’t usually respond to negativity. But it hurts to see some fans cannot look beyond blind hate even when lives are at stake. It just shows how low humanity is these days.
If it is not politically motivated, then y does Shabana opt to go directly to MP Modi? Y not a formal police complaint to the respective states? and if no action is taken then the Minister of that State, Y directly to the Prime Minister who actually has the entire country to run?
It’s funny, but those ppl have every right to protest just like SLB has every right to make the movie he wants.
The death threats and associated violence was disgusting and frankly embarrassing. I am happy to see Deepika and SLB get protection and the Minister sacked, I do think the minister should’ve been expelled from the party but it is a sensitive issue and approach to deal with the situation does matter.
Kangana is jealous soul who can only misuse feminism for her own gain. Kat aunty is always insecure of Dp much before their history. Also kat is known as a selfish taker who is shameless enough not to support her own mentor (with whom she claims to be friends with ) in his bad days. So how can you expect this user to support her rival? Also her fans and PR wished for Dp and her parents death openly on twitter and pv
Western media should look at their own Harvey Weinstein scandal and the 101 men accused after him before laughing at this story. This is just a threat that was actual emotional and sexual abuse and in some cases rape. Actors like George clooney and Brad Pitt Ben affleck who pretend to be Social justice warriors knew about weinstein but kept mum as they wanted to act in his films. Such hypocrisy!
Nothing surprising here, the standard Bollywood Hypocrisy Playbook was on full display at the IFFI, and voiced especially by Boney Kapoor who just shrugged and said “Padmavathi is not my film”. The lack of spine has always been there, sadly.
Lack of spine was also shown by hypocrite Deepika who acted in an offensive movie called Aarakshan but in her interviews said no comments after a big controversy erupted over it.,
of course insecure katrina wont sign it ! she is too low and cheap to rise above her bitterness
Whts low and cheap is Deepika commenting about RKs boxers and getting his name tattooed on her body. I mean how desperate can u get really?
whats low is that you for one cannot leave your own personal bias and clear dislike for deepika (as evident from your cheap comments regarding her) and look at the bigger picture here..I find it quite disturbing that a woman.is being threatened to having her body parts cut off so openly..its disturbing on a whole nother level.Also shame on anushka,the so called feminist,strong,independant,thinking woman of today..bloody sham!!basically all she does is leech off of virat!also i expected no better from katrina,wo to hai hi doormat..Kangana on the other hand has enough shit going on and was quite obviously shunned by majority of the industry during her controversy,.so i guess that left a bad taste in her mouth..but these other two hypocrites should be ashamed of themselves.This was not the time to pick and bully another actress over their mutual dislike,jealousy or whatever the case may be over her,it was time to unite over a sick ideology plaguing the country and the general ill treatment of women and lack of respect in general!
I will subscribe to every word. your comment and analytics are very mature. With Kanganа enough of their own disputes, when no one supported it, even such a “fair” Shabana. She must stay out of the mud of Bollywood. I did not expect Katrina to support Deepika, we all know that Katrina on screen and Katrina in real life are two different people , but Anushka? I thought she would support Deepika. although … During the controversy with the comment of “rape” Salman. Anushka did not have the courage to say something, just because she was working with Bhai at the time. For a long time I feel that she is not very sincere
anushka is just another kajol…pretends to be a feminist and is actually a doormat.
ya right…when everybody on this site is making cheap comments on kat u have no reaction but when i call out DPs name ur offended.
HEll YEAH! Look at the issue at hand..anyhow I’m pretty much done with this conversation and have said what i had to say.I cannot go back and forth over someone elses moral code..
Shabana is a stinkness. She has her own bias agenda and doesnt really give a foot or cranny about Deepika, SLB or padmaviti but she just has a great and reasonable excuse to get all of btown & others to campaign against BJP. Is Shabana affiliated with any political party?
True. Shabana Azmi had her own political point. I remember reading an article where she was furious at some muslims members of one party or group of people she knew who were supporting BJP. She was lecturing them why they should not support BJP
Shabana is very shrewd. everything she does or says is for political gain. Shame, I found her really pretty when she was young.
I find that some muslims will support anyone who is against bjp/rss. Its like a friends enemy is my friend.
