When people say she could have done anything, like taken up an odd job like a BPO job to survive, they are not seeing her point of view.
She was a national award winner at 11. She continued to do TV and did another hit film called Iqbal by 14. By 16 she was the heroine of a blockbuster in Telugu, she was touted to be the next big thing. Suddenly all her next films flopped and she is nowhere. It went down to a level where she was paid only 50,000 per day for a two-day shoot of an item song.
But the thing to be observed here is, she has only seen a posh lifestyle ever since childhood. A lifestyle where she could spend a lakh a day. And you suddenly expect her to take up a BPO job where she gets paid 15,000? She wasn't getting enough work, and this seemed like easy money. And she was very young. She was told every actress goes through this, so she went for it.
I can see her point of view, and I still don't think what she has done is wrong. Neither is the media, they are doing their usual job. If I do something, it would be pitying her, because with a little bit of smartness she could have gone places. Because of her naivette she has gotten to where she has. I still wish her name wasn't taken up and her dignity was protected. They have ruined her life by making it public.
So she indeed was rich. Then her parents are at fault. Cos they should have invested into her future. Invest in real estate or bonds or whatever. For eg ,for all the flak the Honey Boo Boo family faces,their mother is really smart and is saving up all the money they are earning for the future use of Honey Boo Boo.
Also a bankrupt person can't expect his lifestyle to be same as before when he had money. They have to change with circumstances or else they would be worse than before and thats what happened with this girl too. There are many things to work on in this same industry. Being in front of screen as a lead is not the only thing to aspire to.
@Bold: What dignity? Same one she lost when she became a prostitute right. Don't tell me sleeping around for money will increase your self worth or pride. She must loathe her life,her decisions and now its worse. Atleast now maybe she can try to improve her conditions. Ppl will talk about this for few days and then move on. She might write a book about her difficult days,maybe get a movie about her and earn money again.
