Thanks everyone for your responses.
Many people are Salman fans, we may have enjoyed his movies, he may have helped many newcomers in their career, maybe he is doing humanitarian work now. But that does not absolve him of the punishment for a crime he has been found guilty of by the court. Even if it takes time and that is unfortunate ultimately that's just how it is.
Zain imam is a popular TV actor. He may sympathize with Salman but his statement in this interview reeks of ignorance and honestly plain stupidity! He said salman is being held accountable after all this time to satisfy people's ego! Are you serious dude?!
I had a lot of regard for him...I loved watching his offscreen bytes. He comes across as a nice guy besides being a talented n good looking actor. That's why as zains fan i am interested in his views. Ofcourse they are his personal views...but as a public figure I PERSONALLY think he should have shown some tact and restraint. He could have stopped with saying he's happy to see him out on bail but he spoke too much and in the process today I as a fan have much less regard for him. When we like and follow actors and public people we care about their opinions too. But in future I'll learn to try and keep that separate the reel from the real.
In that regard I feel until now Aditi has impressed me with her tact, maturity n composure at a young age. I hope she doesn't lose that ever because as her fan it would disappoint me if that happened...like today I'm disappointed with zains remarks.
Many people have said in discussions around this case- why so much fuss about this case when there are other more" real "issues like rape n murder...n well that's just unfortunate. It's like comparing apples and oranges. They are all crimes at the end of the day. Each crime has its own magnitude of impact in terms if how it affects society and also in terms of legality and punishment. So to say that discussing this case is a waste of time because its only an animal, animals die and get extinct all the time, etc etc i PERSONALLY think is extremely unfortunate.
ofcourse it's true that this case has received attention because a celebrity is involved but that does not change the facts of the case itself. And yes its taken far far too long for the verdict which is a shame...but thats just how it is in india! we can only hope that things get better.
perhaps salman may have been acquited in this case like others in the past and then nobody would have said anything...his fans could have rejoiced. but unlike the other cases here the fact right now is that he has been convicted and in such a scenario as a fan I expected a more responsible response from a personality who I love and adore. And I feel let down.
This issue affected me so I posted it. Some of you may agree, some may disagree, and some may be indifferent...that's perfectly ok. I'm merely sharing my sentiments on a public forum because I felt strongly about it.That's all.
