To a large extent, the general public is responsible for encouraging the actors. If you start arguing sanely with such fans, they will tell you that all they care about is entertainment and not the actor's public life. Well, an actor's life is not public anymore when it comes to running his car over homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and killing them.
I was actually appalled that someone recently had posted on IF that these homeless people are to be blamed for sleeping on the road. I mean what do you explain to people with such a thought process.
BTW, I didn't like the joke on Madhuri's MIL either. It doesn't matter whether it was done in a light manner or not. There are certain things you can't justify by simply saying it was just a joke. I mean did Salman khan think that Madhuri's family, her in-laws, their family friends are watching the show. Taking such digs at someone's MIL (especially someone you don't know) is totally unacceptable. Perhaps, Salman's jokes are inspired from his personal life experiences.
I agree with you totally Mohini !
Yeah, folks are so crazy about these film stars and cannot differentiate their public persona or private, which nowadays are the same, their behaviour gets obnoxious day by day and set a fantastic example to impressionable minds, as if their trashy movies don't 😡 wish they dust their conscience off cobwebs once in a while😳 before they pontificate on blogs and interviews😆
Salman , from what i have seen on a few shows has a blase, condescending attitude towards females, esp katrina, which is disgusting.
He tries to keep a poker face while cracking his sick jokes, which folks assume is funny. His joke on Madhuri's MIL was in poor taste and poor Madhuri kept a straight face, i was wondering if she understood what was said. Now, am sure, she was wondering how to give him a kick or slap his face.
Sorry SK fans.
I wish at least one contestant walks out calling some actor names and it becomes an issue, after which no star will be invited on these shows. Either way, most of these singers hardly get a chance after the show is over, so time someone kicks them where it hurts most, their EGO !
