You do a have a very good point, the same thing put me off after watching the FameApp Iv.
Though between VG and Parth case, looks like Parth had a bunch of reasons to get to legal standpoint with Vikas and there is muhc more lurking there than we know, I respect his decision to take a stand against the more powerful mentor , its commendable.
But , his " its not my problem" attitude when the reporter asked about Niti specifically, about the recording was a real let down . Real Real let down. One statement from him, that he felt bad she was dragged into this issue between him and VG, that he doesn't know what she heard but will clarify with her personally, that he has no disrespect for Niti or women in general-Would have been enough.
Again..no one was asking him about rocketscience. It was not a test. Its simple human ettiquette. He could be right, he could be wrong, but he needed to say something more. Atleast he could say that he read the note but decided not to reply because she didnt take names and he did not want to provoke anything.
Worst thing is he bunched Niti up with rest of the actors who spoke against him. Dude, but they didnt hear abuse about them, Niti is the only girl in question..she heard it. It must have been so so painful for her. Parth needed to have some sensitivity or elan while dealing with the question than take it to professional chemistry etc. How hard is it to say " I have never disrespectd women, I don't know what she heard, but I always have respected her, and will clarify this issue with her".
No...he is playing it too safe, he was scared if he clarifies, Utkarsh might leak something more to prove that Utkarsh information is right. So it was clear that he fears more information and arguments from VG and his clan about this, so he chose to not clarify.
Agreed, that if he readily apologized it would look like he is guilty even if he did not say the abuse words. So he might have backed off. But what about Niti's pain...he needed to address that. It looked like he bothered to talk to press only because of Ekta's statement and all PP wants is to end the case and go back to work. Fine by us and God Speed.But as a matter of woman's dignity , and honour..which is a huge issue in our society and media, it was logically and PR wise very important to address that question.
At this point I would say, hope all this ends soon, hope Parth gets away form VG and gets on with his life, and hope Niti is never in the future dragged into Parth's issues with a third person.
