So what if they kissed ?

The latest big thing to hit the desi tabloids after the Delhi Public School MMS scandal is the so called "public kiss" shared by Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur. Lots of space has been used for this big kiss that I figured I gotta blog it. If you have'nt been following the story here is a link to it.

As a response to the photo article, Kareena and Shahid have denied that it was them. In addition, they have slapped a Rs. 20 crore lawsuit on the publishers of Mid day. Kareena has also claimed that she would "fight for her dignity". C'mon folks, who are we kidding here ?

Firstly, I think the issue has been totally blown out of proportion. Whats in a kiss ? She likes him. He likes her. So they kiss. I dont see any problem with that. If Mid Day publishes the photo, Id see Kareena feeling bad about it but suing them for it?. Thats weird. I mean, this is the same Kareena who can professionally strip to her underwear for movies and kiss and cuddle and what not "on screen". Now if the same person does it in real life, whats the big deal with it. The Indian public for long has had this really hypocritical view of things. While sex in all its glory shall be beamed in the various music video channels and movies after movies claiming to show "not porn" but the greatness of the Indian woman coming as a spurt, why do we still have issues with someone kissing in public. You wanna see it, see it. You think its gross, turn your face away. Simple as that. Why make such a big deal. This whole idea of keeping sex in the bedroom doesnt work anymore. Period. Learn to handle it maturely. Not like a convent school kid !

And Kareena and Shahid, grow up. If someone caught pics of you smooching, does it matter. Really ? Isnt it all too much to make a hue and "cry" about it. Isnt it time to either get a room to smooch in private if thats what you want or get over it and move on with your life. Isnt it how things should be?

well said dude. Kareena says that she is from the well respected Raj Kapoor family...... ha ha what a joke. give her that 20 crores, she will turn into a porn star.
and next comes the general public, who gave them the authority to decide whats wrong and whats good for others.
I'm actually waiting to hear Shiv Sena's comments on this issue :)

I am definitely expecting a Shiv Sena fallout although the Kapoors are said to be close to Thackerays and hence the response might be muted.

Jagan,
Kareena definitely deserves her privacy when she does things privately. You cannot expect, being a star who otherwise loves the limelight to let people not take notice of such things in India. Its stupid, but nothing new. Being a popular star spotted with another popular star you are bound to be noticed and if you are kissing, well, that makes it even spicier. Now the public gotta mind its own business and the stars not be flustered by the attention. Fault is with both sides. As long as that is the issue being discussed, great. If it comes to why they kiss in public, then its stupid cos its their own business to kiss at home or in public.

Privacy? That's asking too much. I am with Ranga on this.

But didnt you look at the publicity part?
Free column space! And if they win the case, 20 Karores! All this for a kiss.

[Ok, we have done our part here]
