Prem I am afraid you are apparently arguing at cross purposes which you seem to have developed into an admirable style. Did you even actually read my post? I doubt you did. Let me copy paste a few words again for your benefit. "Unless and until the others icons have done something irredeemable and irreversible, their personal life would and should be of no concern to the general public."Please note the words in bold. That means corruption, bribery, lies which destroy other's lives (I never really pride myself that I am absolutely truthful or honest. I do lie sometimes but none of my lies ever destroyed anybody or hurt anybody. If they were, and I realized that, I have instantly apologized for them too) are beyond the pale of what I was exempting these other icons from. All I exempted them from was their personal lives. I think we should give them that space.If they have done something like bribery, corruption, lies which destroy lives as you cited in your arguments, they deserve to be punished by the police and judicial system. But really, you and I are nobody to sit over judgement on them or impeach them. I hope that was precise enough.Coming next to the other bone of contention, I was speaking about the RT affair with TK news report which was pure gossip as far as I can judge. Why do you think I meant the Hrithik-Kangana affair which was pretty far from both my thoughts and arguments? But here I wasn't even criticizing or supporting her. I just did not mean HER or HIM. I meant RT and RT alone and the news report about his linkup with his co-star which appears only like a rumor, gossip colomn or publicity stunt or gimmick to me.Just a request, next time please be precise when you cite somebody and do not twist the argument they have given to suit your own arguments.
PS: In English exam question papers in India, we have a section which we call explain with reference to the context. If you ever had such a section in any of the exams you wrote, you ought to thank your stars I wasn't correcting them. You would have scored terribly in that section in such an imaginary scenario.
