I have not been able to crack the
secret behind the failure of Hindi, Bengali and Bhojpuri film stars to grab the
coveted chair. They pull crowds, orchestrate wins, fall behind, and ultimately
get lost in obscurity. Someone told me
that the stool examination parameters for South Indians are different from
those for ordinary Indians. I do not know whether the information is correct,
but the parameters in case of the chair seem to be definitely different.
I feel that more often than not, materialistic
success is obtained and sustained with crookedness and manipulative people
skills. Whether one is a scientist, a teacher, an artist, a lawyer, a sportsperson,
a journalist, a film star, an industrialist, a politician or a commercially successful
Guru – whether one reaches and remains at the top depends upon the presence of these
two elements in progressive order. I fear that Hindi, Bengali and Bhojpuri film
stars fall short somewhere when the time comes to grab the chair.
Talking of film star politicians,
the death of Vinod Khanna shocked me. This hugely admired and envied star
looked pathetic in his last days. Everyone must die, but this way? Though I
neither liked nor disliked him, his departure left me sad. Life need not be
devoid of grace, even for film stars and politicians.
