What does Shobha De smoke? Wasn't she also a part of the so called debauch posh set? Has she done tauba from all that?


Too old to get invitation at those parties.

Well some celebs are filthy! Take Akshay and Ajay, for example. How filthy and low can they get in their treatment of their young female co-stars? And even Sajid Khan, for years blinds have mentioned him as being a creep and harasser to women.

These people live their lives the way they want to, irrespective of blind items.

Kangu herself is giving blind items on national television. She was the one who pretty much confirmed how SSR was a womanizer!

She didn't say that. Just don't misquote anyone. She said that SSR did have several relationships in past also. And there's nothing wrong in that. Having more than one relationship (after breaking up the previous one) doesn't make anyone womanizer! 😑😑

No it doesn't!

But in trying to prove her point about nepotism in SSR's case, she did makes these skirt-chaser stories sound like a reality!

Shobha De is right about one thing for sure. None of Kangana’s statements on BW is an exaggeration. But Kangana makes people uncomfortable because she attacks their favorites while exposing Bollywood or they’re afraid she will expose their favorites. Hence they shoot the messenger.


not just that, anyone says or confirms what she says is then name called as well.. Example - Abhay Deol.. can't refute the statements or the message so just as you said "shoot the messenger"...


I mean supporting problematic views and ideals just because they go against someone you dislike, WTF? there is no objectivity left any more and yet they claim themselves as "sane, intelligent, mentally stable and from this planet/dimension" ..

Lol.. sorry I can’t take Shobha De seriously. Sau chuhe khaa ke billi hajj ko chali is totally apt here. Shobha’s whole image is/has been the typical Page 3 bitchy Bombay socialite who is very much part of this ‘toxic’ culture that she herself is calling out in this piece. I’m sure KJo knows that people don’t ‘actually’ like him - it’s really not eye-opening. The rest, sure, we all knew existed, doesn’t make it right but then you should have called it out when you were in the position to do so na? Not saying people can’t change but Shobha is just being her usual bitchy self here.

I hate socialites,social climbers and page 3 people more than Kangana. So on my hate list Shobhha De is much worse than Kangana.

Shobhaa De is a social climber who was a air hostess who married a rich industrialist.

These people are completely useless. They do nothing but to drop to place to party with their expensive birkins and jimmy choos. They are on such a high horse and misbehave with common people. They look down with contempt at someone less wealthy than them. I have seen bollywood celebs and super rich in India are much well behaved.

I have seen many such parties and it has made me to detest such people. All they do is to complain and gossip in these parties. Networking happens only when someone has a common enemy.

I agree with Shobhaa De calling Bollywood opportunist. Now days most people are opportunist and support those causes and become friends with people from which they can benefit something in return.

Shobhaa's husband is not that popular on party circuit now, so she is complaining.

Wow. 😆 WOW.

This has to be the mother of ironies! Shobha De, SHOBHA DE of all people calling out Bollywood ? The same person who has profited off its culture of dirty laundry in public and throwing the nastiest blinds out there. The one who has been bootlicking more stars than you can count, whose entire career is an extension of making money off whatever she's trying to go against here 😆

What Rajeev Masand is today is what Shobha Dee has been for decades and she's suddenly found the conscience to be sati savitri devi supporting ganga se bhi pavitra Kangana? A whole joke 😆

This entire Kangana thing and now Shobha De's support of her is a classic case of major FOMO 'noone invites me to the party anymore so I'll just protest at the door against its happening' like how dare they enjoy without me 😿

I keep saying this and I will continue doing so. Bollywood is indeed a nastyass place. The power balance is so off that it's scary. Its so easy to take advantage of an outsider. BUT you can't champion to change the system if you have played the same dirty games,profited off the same things as everyone you are accusing everyone else of and if you're an equally vile human being. Whether it's dirty blinds,so called drug culture, sexual harassment, extra marital affairs, threatening people- Kangana has done it all. Shobhaa De as profited off it. So if Bollywood is a rot, Kangana and Shobhaa are right there being part of it all. This pot calling the kettle black is hilarious on another level LOL.

Watch Shobha De write about how amazing Bollywood is when the tide changes. 😆
