Newsy Take

Abhishek Pandey

SRK says he want Pak players for his IPL team. Shivsena says it wants SRK to apologise in public or go to Lahore for his ‘Pak love’. BJP and Muslim groups surprisingly come together against Sena’s politics. Rahul goes Mumbai and tells Sena, Mumbai belongs to everyone and it is not the legacy of Thakreys. Everyone is busy doing business for good or bad. None of them wants to bear the losses in the business and SRK is not an exception.

It is the business and it doesn’t know any principle. Even SRK accepted in one of the interviews, no one in the industry knows any principle on Thursdays and Fridays – the release day of the Bollywood flicks.

Shahrukh Khan has invited controversy for himself after commenting on inclusion of Pak players in his IPL team. But, he could not become braver any more because he is not a politician, he is a businessman. He can not take any stand strongly that affect his business – the commercial success of his movie.

His movie ‘My name is Khan’ is about to release and he would not like that his movie fell prey to any controversy failing his arduous efforts and losing his hard earned money that he put in making a ‘wonderful’ movie.

Neither he would apologise nor did he will take his words back because both the actions would affect his stardom in turn affecting his business. He needs not to do this though as being an Indian he has all the rights to speak out his mind as Sena and MNS has. SRK and Shivsena both have right of free speech, both have right to do their business.

But, the business started stinking and becomes unbearable when his daughter asks him whether they have to leave India for Lahore or any other place. It is just very sad, shameful, and unconstitutional and against the core values of the country. All the problems arise here.

Who has given the Sena, MNS right to spit venom against any one who does not belong to their cult? Who has given them right to throw any one out of Mumbai or the country? Who has suggested them to poke their nose in every issue they find beneficial for their politics? Who authorize them to beat north Indians for appearing in exams in Mumbai?

They are no one to be the voice of Mumbaikars as they dint come out when Mumbai was bleeding and needed help after 26/11 attack. MNS and Sena must reply why Mumbaikars allow them to play politics on their issues when they can’t stand for them in need.

Politics is good, so is business. Sena wanna make use of every moment in the times when MNS, congress, NCP are ready to fix the last nail in Sena’s coffin anytime. It is the fight of survival for Sena but these kinds of strategies in ‘business’ would fail its all efforts. It is wiser for Sena not to create any problem over SRK comments because it can backfire fiercely. Even, SRK would not like to prolong the spate because its better to become coward sometime for good.
