Trust the stormy petrel and gutsy damsel of the Hindi film industry; Preity Zinta to take an unequivocal and unapologetic stance about a perceived slight to our beloved and respected national anthem and standing by her actions no matter however widespread and vociferous the ridicule and contempt.........
Preity Zinta has certainly gone and done it again following her eyeball and headline grabbing fight with Bombay Dyeing scion Ness Wadia; according to awe struck bystanders and members of the audience; Preity who was out to enjoy the thrills and spills of the Hrithik-Kareena blockbuster "Bang Bang" firstly accosted a gent in the audience for refusing to stand up and pay his respects to the national anthem while it was being played during the course of the show and later ganged up with a few patriotic and nationalistic members of the audience and threw the offending gent out of the multiplex lock;stock and barrel.........
As is our wont; hundreds of utterly hypocritical; two faced self appointed guardians of public morality and decorum took to twitter and berated Ms. Zinta by branding her "hyper-nationalistic"; while hundreds of others exhorted the authorities to book a case of "goondaism in a public place" as a result of her patriotic and well meaning actions that were widely reported in certain sections of the media..........
However; the silliness, hypocrisy, two facedness and facetiousness did not stop at this and cries of Preity go and join the BJP if you want to be hyper-nationalistic soon reached a crescendo on twitter; totally unfazed by the mindless frenzy and juvenile antics of her self appointed critics; Preity issued a pithy and pointed rejoinder saying that she was simply part of a concerned section of the audience who found the gent in question's actions to be totally disrespectful of our esteemed national,anthem and hence did what was required under the circumstances.........
Where do I stand on this one; I not only wholeheartedly applaud and acclaim Preity's actions in this instance but also exhort other self respecting and spirited womenfolk to take an unequivocal stance and make themselves heard without fear or favour any and every time any nuisance is being committed in a public place; Hats off Preity; please continue being your true, spirited and unfettered self; we are solidly in your corner and will keep standing by you no matter what...........
