There's a certain amount of decorum that one's expected to maintain when in company of the others and when one's in public view. It goes without saying that this responsibility is proportional to the stature the individual enjoys in society.
It's against the backdrop of this sentiment that the ugly scene created at the Wasabi restaurant of the Taj hotel in Bombay by movie actor Saif Ali Khan is simply not acceptable. He's supposed to have broken the nose of an NRI businessman and socked his 68 year old father-in-law because they'd the gumption to tell the management to ask him and his guests to desist from being a nuisance to the others by their noisy chatter.
To insist upon the general public to watch his films to make him successful and popular is a decent proposal but his insistence to accept and put up with his boorishness and tantrums is definitely an indecent proposal! Moreover, this is also not the first time that the actor has got into such situations - in other words, he's a habitual offender.
I wonder as to what makes people like him to take law into their hands and subsequently, sneak through the backdoors of the police station - which is what happened in this case - or cover their faces while transiting from the police station to the court and back? It's a paradox, that, people like him crave for maximum publicity otherwise but try to shrink into obscurity during adverse situations without even having the grace to admit their mistake and tender an apology.
And for all you know, there must be heavy backroom parleys going on to hush up the case and reach an out-of-court settlement! Well, our heroes definitely have feet of clay!!
I'm reminded of an inscription that I'd seen in my Squadron at the Academy that says it all and is quite appropriate on this occasion and I quote,
"If you're a gentleman, nothing else matters
If you're not a gentleman, still nothing matters".
