A regular guy
by Debashri Sengupta on Feb 09, 2007 04:00 AM

I have seen a lot of SRK-bashing in the recent days. I wish it were related and limited to the inane KANK role that he did last year. Unfortunately, a lot of negative comments are about the PERSON. I can only think that it is because we are sometimes unable to accept that a person, who is just like us in every way is so successful. Shahrukh has always maintained that he is an entertainer. I don't think he has EVER crossed boundaries. No court cases, no money-swindling, no associations with underworld dons or politicians (unless of course you count the courtesy relations that people in his position have to have), no tax-evasion. People weren't finding anything negative to say about him. At the same time they found it difficult to believe that a person could be so successful, without resorting to 'negative' or 'dishonest' activities. Now with his past few movies not doing 'as well as expected', people have got a chance to say anything! This is not right. Anyone from the common man on the street to the what-was-it.... 'Valmiki' organizations (never heard of those ones before!) is maligning the guy. Come on people! SRK is someone we should look upto. His grit, determination, talent (though, I wish he did more films like 'Swades'), honesty are attributes we should look up to. Don't let the 'crab mentality' stop us from praising a person when he is worth it. Let's own up to the fact that SRK rules! Yes, he still does.....else, there would not be so much being said about him. As 'Guru' says, "Jab log aapke baare mein bura kehne lage, to samjho ke kuchh theek kar rahe ho" :)
