Shobhaa De blasts A-Listers of Bollywood SRK, Salman, Big B
By bollywoodcelebden, 9 December, 2008
Shobhaa De blasts A-Listers of Bollywood SRK, Salman, Big BNot very well known writer Shobha De has vent out her anger against A graders of Bollywood like SRK, Saif, Hrithik, Akshay and Salman as they chose to keep quiet on the Mumbai terror issue.

She writes in her blog article, "I read 'Shah Rukh Khan's on BBC Asia' (reported in a local tabloid) with a great deal of disappointment. The report begins by quoting him stating, "I tried to keep away from commenting on all this…" He later goes on to say, "Youngsters need to understand Islam and respect the religion in the right way…." Yes, Shah Rukh! You are not telling your fans something they don't know! Also, "……..no agenda should be attached to any kind of religion.'' Thank you SRK, for stating the obvious. And for being so very politically correct…. non-committal ….during the most violent attack on Mumbai - the very city that has made you. I wanted to hear some words of comfort for those who died; some strong condemnation of those who committed this crime. This report made no mention of any such thing. And it was the only published comment from SRK to date."

The writer who is known to write gibberish in a fiesty way says, "SRK is no ordinary Bollywood star. Others from his fraternity have spoken up boldly. Why such a wishy-washy response from The KingBadshah etc etc?? This is the time for people like him, Sachin Tendulkar and others who preen away as 'National Icons' at other times, to stand up and be counted. Look at RGV's arrogant and offensive stance even today - boycott his lousy films and teach him a lesson. The Taj is not a potential movie set he needed to study for art direction! Most of the filmwallas owe something to someone sitting in Dubai.

"No wonder they have been so cautious and guarded in their response. Cowards! All they can think of are overseas' box office returns (they make the most money in those markets). Dhanda has silenced their conscience. Amitabh sleeps with a gun under his pillow, and then says it is a symbolic act! Aamir weighs his words with care. Salman stays chhhup (just as well). Akshay, Hrithik, Saif…… lost your voices all of a sudden??"

Ok I have seen so many raliies and other clips for the support of Mumbai after the attack but I did not see Shobha De in any of them. Where was she?
Its is easy for anyone toblame other but the hardest thing is WHAT ARE YOU DOING ....When we relaise that it will be the end of all this crap...
PS: JUSt watched Movie MAssal adn it had Salman and Amir talking about it....

I dont agree or disagree with what she has written..but she has been an active part of the rallies. She stayed out Taj the entire black night with friends...Listen to her interview with barkha in youtube. She is definitely very very passionate about the mumbai cause.

Yes...She cannot say what SRK should say or should not say. If akshay chooses to remain mum, its his right to do so and she cant comment about it. I agree until there. She has no business telling what SRK should or should not do.

I will see her interview. Till now I did not see her. But I am a big fan of her and her attitude.

But what I did hear and wathed was Salman's interview on HT's Grandstand and there were few sentences that Salman choose to speak which I did not like at all.
It is a very sensitive matter and everyone has to be passionate about it.

Blasting politicans was good and right thing to do, because they weren't doing their job but why are you blasting bollywood? that is just stupid.

Agreed with what she said. She's good at what's she's saying. These people are worried about their fu**ing fan base. I hope Rab Ne bana Di Jodi and Ghajini flop at the box office. Khan should look for a better home now. P.S. A Nation Comes Before anything.
