For the last two days, the local media has been on an overdrive to cover the ignominy suffered by the actress, Shweta Menon while she was the chief guest at an official function at Kollam, a couple of days back. .
In these days of an all pervading mistrust engulfing the society, any unwanted visual is designated as 'morphed' by the parties directly involved, for their own selfish reasons to get a reprieve. And a few of them have proved to be so in the past as unscrupulous elements had succeeded to create a smoke screen to cover their mistakes. In the process, one often comes across the hopeless situation when both, the aggrieved and the accused end up crying foul over an issue!
Her difficult moments
She'd arrived at the venue of the event at the appointed hour and was received by the organisers that included Peethambara Kurup, the local MP of the Congress party and the Collector, among others. She was at the venue till the completion of the event, delivering her inaugural speech and even partaking in a singing bout with Kalabhavan Mani, her colleague from the film world despite her 'nightmarish experience'.
The MP was continuously endeavouring for a body contact at the slightest pretext. The Collector - who was the main organiser - had sympathised with her on her plight when she'd reported the matter to him. And her agony had begun. The opposition's wing, the DYFI, has filed a case against the MP for his alleged misdemeanour and even, had burnt his effigy!
Two aspects need to be touched upon at this juncture:-
(a) The media visuals that had covered the event show the MP trying to make body contact with the
actress many a time. Again, two factors require mention at this stage, which are:-
(i) there wasn't any surge or unmanageable movement of the crowd in the immediate
vicinity of the actress, the MP and the other dignitaries.
(ii) the MP has not been at the wrong end of the media's coverage as he hasn't been into
any controversies, thus far.
(b) The Collector has vehemently denied that the actress had reported the matter to him and that's what
has saddened the actress - painting her as a liar.
She and her husband are preparing to give their written complaint to the chief minister.
Meanwhile, the media has gone to town on the issue and is all agog with quite an array of 'panel discussions'.
Tailpiece.
1. Is anyone of us, among the common public, of the opinion that actors are of easy virtue and anyone has the freedom(?) to misbehave with them?
2. If one respects one's mother, sister and wife and expects everyone else to follow suit then he has no right to misbehave with others' mothers, sisters or wives. Period!
3. While the media is doing a fantastic job in bringing out wrongdoings into public domain and must continue to do so, being the most effective watchdog for the society, it needs to show restraint and maturity in the subsequent coverage of issues.

Didn't I tell you that we, Malayalees, are a sexy people? I mean, we've sex in our mind always!
