Sometimes I wonder that it must be terribly difficult to be rich and famous. How insecure must they be feeling while living in the constant fear of losing it all?
I don't like the movies of Karan Johar. But his public apology about casting Pakistani actors for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil made me feel like puking. How low will a person have to stoop to disown the people who worked for him? Here is a guy wanting to make millions by casting the famous Pakistani actors. And the moment he realises that his box office collections might get affected because a political party's goons threaten to sabotage its screening, he decides to publicly apologize.
Similar was the case of Snapdeal removing Amir Khan as its brand ambassador after the "intolerance" fiasco. What are these people who sit on crores of rupees afraid of? How are they able to face themselves in the mirror? Why is it so rare to find people like Nana Patekar who actually stand for something good?
It's easy for me to say all this because I don't have my skin in the game. I have nothing to lose while shouting curses from my keyboard. Someday I might be tested and fail big time.
This post is a reminder to self to know what is the right thing to do. No matter how hard we try to convince ourselves otherwise.
An old song, which perfectly captures the mood.
