CELEBRITY Vs MP

                            CINEMA CELEBRITY   VS POLITICAL CELEBRITY

The society gives respect to the Ladies especially on public stages where they are invited for some public function organized by responsible people. In such occasions, it is quite natural that people throng in large numbers to see their favourite  actor or actress at a close range.. In such occasions there will be push & pull in the crowd to have a close view of their celebrity. In the jostling, it is quite possible that unintentional movements of people nearby may result in bodily contacts.  Inadvertently the VIP in the crowd also experienced the same situation.

Therefore the reported incident that took place at Kollam may not be attributed as a willful crime against the equally or more important person,( the elected Member of Parliament of the locality), does not seem to be a correct reaction from the VIP lady. After creating a commotion and hue &cry in the public through visual media and having done the damage to the prestige of the MP, withdrawal of the case does not cure the bruises caused in the mind of the MP who is a respectable person. In fact the case that is already initiated by the police may be processed to arrive at the exact position and also to prove the innocence or guilt in the reported case against the MP. Such kind of sudden reaction and then cooling down later when the situations are not favourable, will tell upon the status of the aggrieved person and also the person reported to have misbehaved. , As an elderly person I feel that, such altercation should have been avoided by the celebrity by proper insight as a matured person in public notice.

Before closing this note, I would like to comment on such recent incidents on the public stage enacted by well known celebrity Sri. Sharukh Khan.  He, in one of the functions held recently lifted up RinyTomy, another celebrity in his arms and swung around the stage, much to the uproar and appreciation of such behavior!.  Even Rini Tomy was happy to have such a recognition!. Deliberate and conscious actions of celebrities are well contained and appreciated by the artists and the public, while inadvertent movements or contacts without any prejudiced  intentions are overemphasized in public?

But in this instant case, the organizer of the function, on account of the heavy pressure of the crowd, might have lost his balance and might have touched the VIP, without any preformed idea of molesting her. Now analyzing the whole episode of the reported case of misbehavior on the part of the MP, it is clear that this is a case of apprehension on the part of the complainant and not a willful act from the MP, who organized the show without any evil intention.  The withdrawal of the case by the VIP lady also confirms the above thinking.  Celebrities while in an unruly crowd must be tolerant, calm & collected and must maintain divinity in their reactions..
