Just my thoughts...why do people not like Shakti Kapoor -- becoz he is supposed to use woman and do the casting couch thing and be crude and all that right?

Now take say Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt...maybe add also Ajay Devgan...all of them are the same, just maybe in better position, more powerful and able to make people keep quiet about what they do.

All of these guys surely do the casting couch thing - just they have the advantage of the girls throwing themselves at them as they are better looking, better positioned etc. In fact I can even bet they have all been upto more mischief than Shakti who is not devious enough like them to be not caught.

So why do we persecute Shakti for all this and idolize Salman, Sanjay or Ajay?

All in all that way Shakti has shown himself to be a mature and somewhat likable individual. It's not that he is going to rape every woman who appears in front of him. I think what added to the negative image is his anyway doing villan roles in films and therefore people perceiving him in that bad way.

In my opinion he hasnt done anything worse or different than most people (right from bottom to top stars) in bollywood.

i agree wid u but only to some extent. i wont point fingers at salman-sanjay-ajay or on any big star today just to make shakti look good but as i have liked him so far in BB house, i would like to give him benefit of doubt.

Its not about making Shakti look good... I really dont care whether he cleans up his image here or not... Its just that all of them do it - they just do it better and dont get caught. And having said that I dont mean I condone the casting couch or the "boys will be boys" ideology, it is horrendous for the people having to go thru it - except I guess its better if the perpetrator of the casting couch is a Salman Khan than a Shakti Kapoor :-) and at this point of his career Shakti doesnt have that much power to help anyone get a break - so of course when people are propositioned by the likes of Shakti Kapoor they make a big hoo-ha about it but not so much when they have to do anybody more powerful.

well i am a firm believer of innocent untill convicted ideology so yeah i wud not drag any one into all this casting couch discussion and like i said so far i have found shakti to be a mature and sensible person. plus i havent seen those sting operation tapes so i really have no idea what has happened.
