this paper and the guy writing are bakhtha of we know what ,

Everyone is answerable .

I am not in favour of screaming host but I do not see anything grossly off in checking


There are plenty of articles written in other international papers. You might want to check them out as well.

Are people braindead or something to follow examples of people whom they don't even know in their real lives? That's a pathetic excuse to blame someone for their own faults.

Are you suggesting that you know everything about everyone at your industry? The wealthy and the ones with power get away with a lot anywhere in any industry.


Well I'm glad you at least acknowledged that the bollymafia get away with their crimes because of power and wealth.


I may not know everything about everyone in my industry but I know for sure that if there are any criminals, then they certainly don't have PR or fanclubs worship them like minions

Ultimately it's about money, power and greed. Anywhere in any industry. Different tactics to crush whoever they want. Bollywood has plenty of filthy rich people but they are not the only ones that belong in the industry. It gives livelihood to many more who never get any limelight or that amount of money.

You are right! But only bollywood and political parties have minions & chamchas jo 24/7 unki worship mein lagey rehtein hain, to such an extreme that inko apney favourite (mostly criminals) ka fart bhi perfume lagta hai


Regarding bollymafia giving livelihood to less fortunate, I disagree because even the child & drug traficking industry gives livelihood to millions. That doesnt absolve them of their crimes.

Of course! Like I always said, is hammam mein sab nangey hai. Just like the deshbhakts worship their leaders, the fans/PR too make it seem like the rotten apple celebs shit gold and glitter.


100%! My poop is golden logic applies everywhere. It’s unfortunate that BW gets slammed as the ones pointing fingers have literally no pedestal to stand. But they are merely human beings with talent who made it. Fans are the ones who idolize and expect perfection leading to disappointment

True, but I honestly don't think everyone is bad out there. There are good and bad people everywhere.

Are we really gonna pretend that in Hollywood celebs don't get busted for drug use, go to rehab, openly talk about it, even illegal drugs, get into legal trouble and scuffles and bar fights, captured in drunken state, get mug shots?

Are we gonna pretend that when Hollywood celebs get busted for drug case they have to face prison and have to go to rehab . And have to face punishments for breaking law unlike here where celebs are Salman , saif , Sanjay and all those druggies are given clean cheat ?


are we even gonna pretend how in Hollywood whenever celebs do something problematic they get cancelled unlike here where people are blind bhakts of celebs 😆

What’s the difference between bjp bhakts and bhakts of these criminal celebs 😆


Also not this coming from a kareena Kapoor fan 🤣

New ID? How amusing.

Anyways, point was not the consequences of the actions but that do those actions exist ONLY in Bollywood, and the answer is no.

And what does being a Kareena fan have to do with anything? If the point is valid, doesn't matter if it comes from Kareena fan or Rakhi Sawant fan. Point is valid.


And Sanjay DID go to jail. FYI.
Your issues are not a BOLLYWOOD problem, thay are an INDIA problem. POWERFUL PEOPLE (whether Bollywood, politics, business) can get away with murder in India.
