I was only trying to say that the point raised by court on multi tasking that a driver cannot shoot while driving is wrong. I have seen it in practical once which is common here. They use either gypsy or tractor with trolley to carry dead animals.

LOL.Yes. Who asked this Chinkara to stand on the way of Salman ? Salman thought that it was a street dog obstructing his way. Naturally Salman is disturbed, Because Salman is a busy actor of repute. He cannot afford to waste a single minute for the sake of this street Dog. Don't worry Salman go ahead.

But it is common and almost 500-1000 are killed every night by hunters for their meat.
It is not an endangered species and Supreme court itself has given the go ahead for killing Nilgai unlike Chinkara which comes under the category of threatened and endangered species..

In Salman's case, it is totally the fault of the Chinkara since it was he who appeared before the great Khan! So he committed suiced and blamed it all on poor Khan. So let us be fair and not blame the poor little rich superstar!

@MG I too liked his portrayal of a air force pilot in Aradhana, looked smart !
I feel the reason for their downfall is partly our society which puts them on a pedestal and no wonder they begin to think that they are the eighth wonder and throw their weight around then when fame and popularity come down they find themselves very lonely

True...I too am a fan of Tendulkar but he has been known to take advantage of his position every now and then. Few years ago, he refused to pay and got the taxes waived off of his luxury Ferrari car. Now this. While in reality, people like him should be more willing to pay their taxes on time and not taking benefits because that would mean money taken from other people in not so fortunate conditions. But they feel like they are gods or something and have every right to being treated differently.
I agree with you kalyani on every point. It would have been great if he had set an example. On saying so I would like to comment that we expect great deed from the celebrities and when they fail we raise our fingers but when we do the same in our own capacity it all goes unnoticed. That does not mean I am supporting Sachin's favour taking act but we must also learn to applaud his good gestures too such as when he refused to advertise liquor brand as well as cigarettes.
Yes Definitely, Shampa. What you say is perfectly true.. we do have a tendency to be quite unbalanced even in our adulation. When the celebrity is doing superbly, we put him on a pedestal and when he loses a few matches we are the ones who take a hammer to the pedestal, so the fault lies too with us little bit. And yes, not each celebrity has shown such discretion as Sachin when it comes to advertising. We must indeed give him credit for it.
