I have not read about SRK matte...Dear Mr. Faridoon,<br />I have not read about SRK matter yet, but your words make me feel very sad. Truly hope your daughter doesn't have to bear similar things. We are not Christians or Hindus or Muslims or... We are only humans, and all of us share the same love for life and the same fear for death.<br />On a lighter note, years ago I read some interesting books on Islam, but I must admit (please, don't laugh! I also smile to myself when I think of that) only thanks to Muslim Indian actors I began to interact comfortably with Muslims living in my town. The Khans have the merit to show to Western fans a new image of Muslims. Why should I feel fear of Muslims now? When I meet a Muslim on my train, coming back home after work, I start immediately to exhaust him/her talking about Indian cinema... Muslim is no more synonymous of terrorist (as Western media keep on telling us) in my subconscious: the first thing coming to my mind when I listen or read the word Muslim is KHAN TRIO !!!<br />:-))Celestehttp://cinehindi.blogspot.itnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589300215493185670.post-25323543058053410362013-01-30T03:28:59.316+05:302013-01-30T03:28:59.316+05:30I really understand, Faridoon, that there is much ...I really understand, Faridoon, that there is much more to the matter and that it's not about taking sides only. But I also do get an impression that more and more often when SRK has something important to say, be it on Twitter or during the press conferences or otherwise, his words are immediately taken out of context and misinterpreted. The journos have a new "controversy", various so-called experts have a reason to analise/humiliate him publicly and SRK has to explain, issue statements, apologise... And he's quite alone in that while usually his biggest "fault" is that he's a very intelligent man who has his own point of view. Do the Indian media people really prefer to listen to, write good stuff about and stand by the dumbo celebrities? Only because they have family connections and SRK doesn't have any?<br /><br />To finish on a more positive note and because these are my first comments on your blog, I really appreciate your work and it is always a pleasure to listen to your interviews with stars. Keep on the good job :)<br />Greetings from Poland.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589300215493185670.post-508524411693692132013-01-29T22:07:24.372+05:302013-01-29T22:07:24.372+05:30My pleasure Svetlana and Kate...its not a matter o...My pleasure Svetlana and Kate...its not a matter of supporting Shahrukh...its a matter of putting things in perspective i guess...<br /><br />Agree with Margaret...as always your views echo my sentiments too<br /><br />Best Faridoon Shahryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503060698802637193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589300215493185670.post-72509662021726349812013-01-29T21:05:27.064+05:302013-01-29T21:05:27.064+05:30Culturally we are all strange creatures when it co...Culturally we are all strange creatures when it comes to the line between personal and public beliefs and convictions. At times when those that rant & rage the loudest convince those that are unaware the din can be deafening. But it is the way of the world to speak out of ignorance or some other such streak to fan the flames in either direction. There is no soul attached it seems and the likely target in the crosshairs takes both barrels. Human nature is very fickle and which ever way the wind blows leads one to be cautious. That being said there is no earthly reason to compromise not to prove a point but to be a lonely voice but not a martyr.Mis4Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723574577204580566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589300215493185670.post-81673283332306197652013-01-29T21:04:00.846+05:302013-01-29T21:04:00.846+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Mis4Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723574577204580566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589300215493185670.post-51757036272803884572013-01-29T16:21:03.130+05:302013-01-29T16:21:03.130+05:30Thank you so much for voicing your support for SRK...Thank you so much for voicing your support for SRK. Seldom do I read texts that are so full of hatred towards someone as the hogwash by Venky Vembu. This guy seriously needs to go on a long vacation; maybe then his reading comprehension will improve. And I'm NOT Asian, by the way, I'm from Poland. It is thanks to SRK that I got interested in Indian cinematography, in Indian culture, in India itself. I've never ever heard of a Mr. Vembu. Up till now. I wonder who gave him the right to expel one of India's finest gem from his country. Shame on you, Mr. Vembu.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589300215493185670.post-35162370646310051352013-01-29T12:12:14.511+05:302013-01-29T12:12:14.511+05:30Sir, thank you for the honest article.
