The world applauds a winner but derive more fun in ridiculing a fallen hero. Even a sage is susceptible to falling prey to the three temptations – wine, women and money.
World's number one golfer Tiger Woods is no sage but for a long part of his career, he was considered as one until that fateful evening when his car rammed into a tree. What followed next was the disclosure of a series of infidel acts committed by the legend.
Today, Woods has become the butt of all jokes, the favourite whipping boy for one and all. With his image gone for a toss, Woods took an indefinite break from golf to redeem himself and also save his marriage.
A few ago, Woods came out of his shell to apologise for his immoral acts and also announce his return to the sport. However, critics still doubt Woods' intent as they reckon the apology isn't genuine but just a PR exercise to salvage his image.
We asked few of our celebrated TV stars as to is this apology genuine or a PR exercise?
Sushant Singh Rajput: I think it's a complete PR exercise. I've learnt that this was a speedy interview whereby he only said what he wanted to. Not many journalists or photographers were allowed in. Besides, they were told to not ask any questions as it was only Tiger who'll do all the talking. He'll soon be retuning to golf and he's held this press conference keeping that in mind.
