The European press has gone to town with the photographs of a topless Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William. A fortnight back it was Prince harry's turn to be shot in the raw while binging with his friends! In our own country, the paparazzi is toiling hard to get the first mugshot of Aishwarya Rai's daughter!!
The celebrities, too, have their personal lives and they're bound to behave like normal human beings while enjoying the exclusivity of a private beach or a family resort. They cannot be grudged that freedom! Stories abound of adventurous lensmen who've stalked the objects of their coverage, at times going to ridiculous lengths, to get their dream shots. But what they tend to forget in their enthusiasm is that the celebrities, too, are entitled to their privacy and that they're trespassing into forbidden area.
Having said the foregoing, it's universal knowledge that both the press and the celebrities need the other for their existence. But, somewhere, a line needs to be drawn where decency and decorum are not given the go by.
Voyeurism needs to be condemned roundly. To me, it's a clear example of warped minds and bad upbringing. Period!
And, er, is anyone really interested in seeing such exposures?
