Yes they are not same thing, but not very different as well, that is exactly what I said in my original post, if you read it one more time.Shikha Chaudhary (May 09, 2003 05:57 p.m.):
Being actually involved in a Sex Scandal and doing a racy film are entirely two different things !!!! There is no relation.Ranvir Singh Dalal (May 09, 2003 03:37 p.m.):
Rajender ji,
Very good points,
I agree she did not got the job just because of this one thing. But I believe it played a major role specially when you do not have any connections in bollywood.
In my opinion we do not have any right to interfere in somebody’s personal matters, but at the same time we all have right to express our opinion, specially when it is about setting role models for our next generation. When we say we are proud of Virender Sehwag, we are indirectly saying that we wish all next generation jats should try to be like him, if they can.
But How many of us really think of her as a Role model for the next generation ???
Let me give you one example of another famous JATNI, who was far more famous than Malika. How many of us here are proud of her as well. She was also doing her job, just like Malika. Do you recall in 1980's in UK there was a SEX scandel involving PAMELA Singh, She was a JATNNI(Miss India, I Guess, far more talented than Malika). If we use the same justification, that lots of ladies would be ready to do the same what Pamela did, to achieve that.
If we compare both these cases, these are not exactly similar, but at the same time not so much different. Both involved short cuts to instant fame.
Hope I did not hurt somebody’s feeling here. And I do not want to talk about Malika in particular, but about the profession she is in. Hope it works for her and she can demand better role for her in future base on her performance. But at least I would not like her to be a role model for next generation Jats....
Shikha, as I stated earlier, I (or we) do not have any right to interfere in here persional life. Here is your statement from earlier post, where you suggest of encouraging her so that it opens door for others. I wounder your opinion changed in just 2 days. It is good that you are not suggesting her as a role model any more.[b]Shikha Chaudhary (May 09, 2003 05:57 p.m.):
As for Mallika being a role model, i don't think anyone is even suggesting that . All I am saying is I am neither proud nor embarrassed, I am indifferent to what Mallika does because its her life and no matter what she does, it doesn't affect mine !!!!

I think we have to accept people for who they are and encourage them so that it opens doors for other people too. Isn't that what a community ought to do ?
!No she will still not be a role model for her racy scenes, But yes if she does hard work and achieve some thing from her hard work(Not the short cuts she is taking now), I beleive next generations hsould learn from her hard work. Every one does some good and bad things in life, but only their good things people admire. SO again I am not proud of today's Malika.[b]Shikha Chaudhary (May 09, 2003 05:57 p.m.):
And now, purely out of curiosity would Mallika be a role model IF she won a couple of Oscars or made it big internationally, despite all her racy scenes? I know it is way over the top, but think about it.

Why do I have the feeling that u r a little ticked off !!!! quotes like " U need to read it one more time " ....
Well,I will avoid the line by line rebuttal ...............Its really not worth it !!!!!!!
I followed your suggestion about reading your quote ONE MORE TIME and I am sorry to say that I am still not convinced by " they are not so different: sex scandal and skin exposure " But its not a big deal. You think they r not different and I think they r. Lets just leave it at that.
because Its not important, right ?
As for the other point about me changing my opinion in 2 days, naaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!! All I suggested was if we have to take a stand,we should support her. I don't know how she became a ROLE MODEL from that posting to this one........all i know is that frankly i don't give a hoot about what she does, how she does ...blah ..blah.. blah...
Well, this was my first discussion at jatland and i thoroughly enjoyed it !!!! In other words I am moving on....
Mr Dalal,what say you? shall we call it a truce ?
