Ehhh this prune...he looked gross and was gross. It doesn't matter if it was consentual...if you are having sex with a minor it's rape.

Bollywood only likes to throw small time actors under the bus but the influential ones are left unscratched. If they were to reveal the dark secrets half the industry would be going to jail.

Yeah. That is why none have been punished for their crimes.

Yup. When you involve minors who cannot make their own decisions then things get hairy. Its pedophilia and rape.

You shouldn't judge the old people with new rules. earlier girls got married before hitting puberty. The shift in culture of waiting for the legal age is a very recent one.

Yes true but, if you have people like Anita Advani finally speaking out hence this is no longer some victimless crime.

As far as most know, he was egoistic and self-centered. The fame he saw made him India's first superstar which brought a whole bunch of arrogance with it. Karma is a bitch. His downfall was almost as quick and sudden as his rise to stardom. Still, the ego and attitude didn't go.

Yeah true. His fall from grace was so quick. Glad Tina dumped his ass and married the Ambani guy.

And remember this incident?

70s superstar Rajesh Khanna landed himself in a mess when yesteryear actress Amita's 15-year-old daughter Sabiha accused the man who was closer to her mother's age of molesting' her. The brouhaha that followed in Kaka's case was one of the most shameful chapters in Bollywood film history.
