Sakshi Tanwar on Shweta Prasad - Page 6

The apathy and the ignorance on this thread is shameful. Someone stands up for another women and becomes an implied prostitute herself. Baffling. I'm so glad I'm not surrounded by idiots in my personal life.

Good for Shakshi, Shobha De and also Sandeep Soparkar (just read his views as well on his FB wall) for standing up for this girl. Not everybody has to feel sympathetic for this girl, fine. But what is the need to put people who stand up for her down.

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">No one is glorifying her apparent 'shameful act'. Prostitution is illegal in India (which of course doesn't explain why it is so rampant throughout the country with places like Kamatipura and Sonagachi being so infamous and actual tourist attractions now!) and in that sense, yes, Shweta has done something that is against the law.</font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">What is being objected is the victimization of one single person on National media, when she is clearly not the only one involved. And everyone has the right to their dignity and privacy. Just like Sakshi said, if criminals accused of rape are protected by the law and by the media, why single out a girl like Shweta? Only because she is a soft target and cannot do anything about it...her case grabs eyeballs and hence, the media makes a mockery out of her situation.</font>

Word. Thank you. 👏

Some drama queens never stop seeking attention by trying to sound "intellectual". Gee whiz. Wonder how pitiful a life they must be living.

Btw, I've reliable sources on a lot of Telly actors being in the "trade", and Sakshi is one of 'em. Also, I came across a shady forum the other day which was meant to discuss "obtaining celeb escorts". Of all the guys that shared info from their personal experiences, one guy sounded a word of caution about not wasting money on "cold" celebs, which included the name of ST.
On this topic, nobody said similar stuff about Shobhaa De or others. Can't help if some folks get a bullet in their a**e.

Reminds me of this historical incident in the life of Jesus Christ. A prostitute is caught in the act and they bring her to him to stone her to death, according to their law. And Jesus famously asks " let the man without a sin, cast the first stone". And they all leave.

Don't get me wrong. IMO, prostitution is wrong and shwetha is definitely not a victim. But, we Indians can be so hypocritical. Prostitution is wrong and illegal. But, so is bribing. How many of us have bribed or taken a bribe to get things done. In India, you have to bribe your way out for every little thing ... To get ur passport, to buy a piece of land to even marry( its called dowry). Did we all also not indulge in illegal then?
In a cruel and unsympathetic system like India, ppl do Wat thy have to get things done. Not that it is right though.
