It was ridiculous of her saying "we are from UP so we'll speak in hindi". while this could still be tolerated, she adds "Maharashtrians may forgive us"..
and in the context, there was absolutely no need of either of the statements. To my mind, it could be a "cheap publicity stunt" or a very immature talking..
If you listen to the statement it clearly seems to be a provocation, and for the upcoming politician (goon), its a free advantage........... could I smell a nexus here?? Is it actually that the bachchans are helping Raj to keep going with his anti-hindi agitation?? (Remember, the two families had good ties until very recently, plus, as the anti-hindi stand *might* help Raj, the northies of Mumbai *may* unite under the SP flag)
Lets hope there is no violence against the innocents this time.
