SO a press conference to protest the shackles that the Censor Board is inflicting on Bollywood's creativity saw a rather massive turnout. But one thing your diarist could not help but note: three garrulous fathers (a king of B-grade production and a dial-a-quote addict; a yesteryear villain and one not particularly reticent with the press by any stretch; and a '90s action hero) obediently attended the protest meet, but none spoke a word. Rumour has it their their feisty (younger) daughters had given them strict instructions to keep stum in the wake of the Pahlaj Nihalani scandal. They didn't want any careless comments lest the Twitterati (and the bitterati) starts lynching them on social networking. We live in such cagey times, don't we?
