Weren’t you tired of watching Bollywoodwallahs doing the same thing repeatedly in 2016? Whether they did it out of habit, humility or to create hype, it was plain annoying to see the same game being played from various angles. Here are the ones we would like to see avoided in 2017...
Priyanka Chopra’s shifting accent:
It’s become a bit of a joke, really. In every interview she gave on US television, PC sported a different “American” accent each time. So our ardent prarthana to pyari Priyanka: please find one accent in 2017, and stick with it.
Ranveer Singh’s monkey tricks:
Everywhere Ranveer went, he created his own private circus. The clothes, demeanour, his ceaseless chatter on topics that don’t matter — they all screamed for attention. And yet, the actor talked about wanting his privacy. So make up your mind, Ranveer, do you want your circus or your privacy? In 2017, you can’t have both.
Mallika Sherawat attacks:
She was hounded by the paparazzi in Patiala, attacked by terrorists in Paris, accosted by fans in Tunisia, chased by goons in Greece… for God’s sake! Is she an actress or a global ambulance casualty? Will Ms Sherawat please make up her mind whether she wants to be known as a star-chaser (who specialises in clicking selfies with celebrities) or a star who is perpetually chased? Awaiting your reply.
Rishi Kapoor’s Twitter rant:
In 2016, Rishi Kapoor caused so much havoc with his doughty tweets that we hear Mrs Neetu Kapoor has decided to confiscate his phone in 2017. A better idea would be to ration Rishi’s rants after each peg. Or better still, ration the pegs.
Kangana Ranaut’s I-am-an-empowered-woman speeches:
This was a busy year for Ms Ranaut. No, not in the studios, but also at at various public events where, using that peculiar accent which is exotic to some and plainly exasperating to others, she spoke about what it means to be a wilful woman in a world of deceptive, horny men…at least, that’s what we heard her saying. Can’t be sure. Half the time, her words made no sense. In the year to come, how about hiring a more coherent speech writer?
Sonu Sood’s Jackie Chan sales pitch:
Sood saab did one film with Jackie Chan at the beginning of the year and spent the rest of the year talking about him. Please find something else to discuss in 2017. We are truly exhausted hearing how much Mr Chan loves you.
Ranbir Kapoor hitting out at the media:
You are a celebrity, you will be written about. And not all of it will be glowing. Every aspect of your life will be scrutinised. It is part of a side-effect of being a celebrity. Learn to deal with it. If you can’t stand the fire, don’t go into the kitchen.
