But apply the vice-versa & I have seen many examples.I have read some of your other posts, & I understand the point you are trying to make, but for me & few others, its a sorry state that we still live in country where double standards exist, & till those standards exist, we do need to favour the girl/women just a little bit more to balance the scales.Having said that I'm in no way denying what Minisha said about Arya was wrong & he has every right to be upset about it. It's just that in the outside world he wont have to face as many consequences as she will - & no I dont think being in the film industry immunises them. Even if you believe that certain parts of the film industry are progressive & dont look down at dating, actors & actresses have to worry about their image with the larger audiences - the aam janta.Trust me, I hope I live to see the day these double standards cease to exist in our society & I will proudly come to the defense of any guy as much as that of a woman. Sadly right now men dont need that kind of support since they can get away with anything (even criminal offences - which is not the case here, but just saying), while women will always be blamed even if they arent at fault (again may not be applicable in this case)
