Journalism...this?
Salman Khan recently walked the ramp with Miss Universe Zuleykha Riviera... And it was not a regular normal. Yes any ramp with Salman would not be regular but what made this event stand out, at least in my eyes, was that he did this...and in fact the whole ramp was staged to raise awareness against AIDS...and to populaise the HIV testing with the slogan "Get tested... it's in fashion!"
I was there to cover it and so were all other channels and newspapers present in the city and of course the news agencies. But unfortunatley the news that made out to the audience from the news organisations was that Salman with another lady...this time Miss Universe. Even Katrina Kaif didnt make news who was present there with Salman Khan. It was as if Salman was found hooked to one more lady... this the Miss Uviverse from Puerto Rico, who seem to be in awe of the superstar!
When in came to news channels, they found it better to show Salman with Zuleykha on ramp rather than his bites which emphasized on AIDS awareness...
Kudos to the Khan and all involved in the show for the effort...but I am at a loss of words for the media...

The original king of Bollywood
The last couple of days has seen the media splashing the faces of two of bollywood’s most popular actors. November 1 was Aishwarya’s b’day and yesterday was Shah Rukh’s day.
However today, on the 100th birthday of one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actor Prithviraj Kapoor, there was no trace of any mention.
Out of sight, out of mind is a saying that goes well with the media.
Prithviraj Kapoor is not just an ordinary actor. He revolutionized the film industry with his acting. And he is the patriarch of the Kapoor family, which may as well be referred to as the first family of Bollywood. My salute to a man whose dream was the Prithvi theatre, which has given a new meaning to Indian theatre and so much to Bollywood.
