And who is she to say Nandita was an 'ambitious, pushy' woman? Is it because she was from Kolkata, and this is not in keeping with Shobhaa De's right-wing beliefs about Mumbai for Maharashtrians? (Even Om Puri is not from Mumbai, so that must be pricking Shobhaa too.) Or is it because she can't stand pushiness and ambition from others -- having oodles of it herself?<br /><br />And why are people so conservative in this country? Doesn't it show double standards that actors who perpetrate the casting couch in Bollywood are among the media's best buddies, while an actor's genuine life story is splashed around sleazily -- and then labelled sleazy in itself?!<br /><br />These half-literate tabloid journalists should read some of the genuine biographies of great people, whether or not they were written by the subject's spouse, and they'll see what a biography means.Sanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07364917836823907976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-56382078342805731592009-11-12T12:29:34.678+05:302009-11-12T12:29:34.678+05:30@introspection

If we wanted to read about Om Puri, we'll go to his website. or worse read his biography. So what if he did some great films. Every actor has some talent that's why they survive. We see their movies and appreciate their work if it is good, but we certainly don't need to know what 'Om Puri' did as an adolescent or to his maids.
