Divided in Love, Rishi Kapoor and son Ranbir are united in their hate of media

Rishi Kapoor with son RanbirRishi Kapoor and his son Ranbir dont see eye to eye on any issue Both father and son have told me that the relationship is at best troubled and unfulfilled and that father and son communicate through Neetu Kapoor While they agree to disagree on most issues there is one thing that Rishi and Ranbir agree on It is their aversion to the press While Ranbir discreetly chooses to stay away from the paparazzi and secretly holds them responsible for his relationship problems how Dont ask Rishi openly and contemptuously lashes out at the media at every given opportunity This seems a little silly considering how much he likes to talkRishi of course conveniently retracts when the situation gets sticky for him Repeatedly he puts his foot in his mouth and then blames the media for it In his latest outburst against the media Rishi was joined by his elder brother Randhir who complained that his grandson Taimur Ali Khan daughter Kareenas son was not getting a normal upbringing because of the intrusive paparazziBut isnt the exposure of the child to the media the parents choice If Taimur and the earlier starkid favourite AbRam are getting more attention than Aamir Khans little son Azaad does it mean Saif Ali Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are bigger stars than Aamir Or that Taimur and AbRam are more popular children in the media than Azaad or Aaradhya No Aamir has chosen to keep his son away from the limelight And the Bachchans too have decided they will limit Aaradhyas public appearanceNormal is a state of mind which most celebrities are progressively isolated from Before seeking normality Taimurs family needs to define it and decide what is normal for them Being in the limelight is not normal for children from workingclass homes Being celebrity parents if you have a problem with your child getting undue public exposure then the choice is yoursJust say no Unfortunately it is not a no that Bollywoods biggest want They want yesmen masquerading as mediapersons to write exactly what they want Sadly in the hunger for news the entertainment media is swallowing every bone in the mistaken hope of finding some meat This week there were two absurd reports which no one swallowed One suggested that Shah Rukh Khan had turned down two roles offered by Sanjay Leela BhansaliFirst our actors should know it is extremely bad manners to talk about turning down roles Nowhere else in the world do actors and their overzealous PR machinery speak on roles that are turned down Secondly which are these two films that Bhansali is making to offer them to Mr Khan He hasnt even begun planning his next Thirdly at this juncture in his career when the projects that hes choosing are letting him down why would Mr Khan turn down BhansaliEven more ludicrous are reports that Priyanka Chopra is likely to do a sequel to Aetraaz So says producer Subhash Ghai Is Priyanka Chopra mad to return to the role of a female predator who crawls and slobbers all over her employee Akshay Kumar In this era of Harvey Weinstein the last role Priyanka Chopra would play is that of a sexual predatorStars want to be politically correct in their postures both off and on screen But for that to happen they first need to look at their own lives and rectify the anomalies and contradictions So please dont give interviews after downing a few pegs in the evening and then deny your quotes when you see them staring at you the next morningCatch up on all the latest entertainment news and gossip here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps to get latest updatesThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
