Just not on, Hema Malini!

One doesn't have to say that you've a special place in the Indian hearts. It's not because of your personal qualities but thanks to the halo brought about by many of the characters played by you in your movies. But you seem to be frittering away the enormous amount of goodwill by sheer outrageous behaviour!

What else does one say to your tweets blaming the child's father for the accident. For the uninitiated, her Mercedes was involved in a collision with an Alto near Dausa, on the Delhi-Jaipur highway on the night of 02 Jul. While she was moved to a nearby hospital almost immediately, the Khandelwals, who're the inhabitants of the Alto didn't get immediate attention, whereby their two year old girl died bleeding! There were other passengers who're seriously injured and are now under medical management.

Your blaming the child's dad for the accident, through your tweets, was in real bad taste. As an MP and a responsible citizen of India, your action in the aftermath of the accident should have been the following:-

       (a) Insist on the Alto's passengers being moved for immediate medical attention at the hospital
            you're being taken to. Your alibi about you not being in a condition to take charge of the                   situation does not hold water because there were others - your daughter, son-in-law and
            the driver - who should have done the needful.

       (b) There seems to be some mystery shrouding the entire sequence of the case. Consider the
             following pieces of information that the media had brought about, related to the accident:-

                       (i) Your driver was released on bail soon after the initial questioning.
                      (ii) You were on the driver's seat at the time of the accident and
                            under the influence of alcohol.
         
        (c) Nothing specific has been said about the sequence of the accident, as to who was at fault and               why there was an inordinate delay in providing medical support to the passengers of the Alto               or are we to believe that there's a caste system prevalent in such matters too?

Ma'am, you must understand that the family is in a state of trauma, having lost their little child and a few of them aren't medically fit thanks to the injuries caused because of the accident. That's why your 'blame game' is simply not acceptable. Or has it been done with the following in mind:-

         (a) to influence the case in your favour?
         (b) to negotiate on the compensation that you've to give? And pray what's the price of a little
               girl who has passed into the mist of time?

Because your actions, simply, plead for a credible answer! And you can't afford to be dithering either!!

RIP, Little Chinni! My tears and prayers. Apologies for many of us being heartless. Here's wishing that your family has sufficient strength to tide over these stressful times!


Tailpiece.

Reports of your tantrums during the elections, while campaigning in your constituency were of bad taste. They're, however, not given much cognisanse because many times, the public can get enthusiastic while being with a celebrity and forget minor courtesies in the heat of the moment. That has to be taken sportingly - though I must hasten to add that uncouth behaviour has to be set right with the help of the organisers, then and there - because this is what one has to pay for one's celebrity status, otherwise don't aspire to be in politics.
