Salman Khan's 26-11 comments

Bollywood actor Salman Khan was in the news once again for the wrong reasons.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am no fan of the actor. The man belongs in jail for running over and killing  a couple of labourers who were sleeping on a pavement in 2002. Having said that, I believe that there is nothing wrong with his comments. (He has since apologized)

The fact is that the hype over 26-11 has very much to do with the fact that Taj and Oberoi were attacked. The elite of South Bombay never bothered when blasts went off in Ghatkopar, the local trains and Zaveri Bazaar. It's when their so-called comfort centres were attacked that they even bothered to care.

  1. Incidentally his latest film Dabaang has broken all Hindi film records and is set to be a mega blockbuster. Wanna catch it at a single screen and whistle through it?
