The Shobhaa Punit War

Punit Malhotra should have listened to his mother and not swooped to this level. It is true that Shobhaa De started the whole episode by rubbishing his directorial debut film “I don’t believe in Love Stories” and she wrote in her blog that Punit deserved to be spanked in public. Shobhaa is courageous to trifle with the sentiments of a brash young man. Punit promptly tweeted that Shobhaa was a fossilized menopausal woman who wasn’t getting enough to which Sonam Kapoor apparently replied “Ha ha”!!!

Everyone knows that insults do not have a level of gradation but have a progressive order of obnoxiousness in retaliation, a fact that has been proved by his interlude. However it takes courage for anyone, be one brilliant or ordinary, to create something unique and put one’s signature on it. One knows that brickbats and sniggers await one, but personal attacks are in poor taste. I know this from experience since I was at one time brave enough not to have comment moderation on this blog. I discovered the hard way what intense issues people have which are manifested by love notes in the form of comments.

However the big “M” word and the issue of “not getting any” is a comment that would obliterate the debutant director from the affections of most women. Punit should realize that one does not need to be fossilized or menopausal not to get any and this is a rather sensitive subject with most people, in relationships across age groups or otherwise. The M word is a very touchy subject with most women since sociologically and biologically, a woman is seldom appreciated after her eggs are depleted. Mommy and her kitty party sahelies will definitely not give Punit beta any laddoos for such behavior.

  2. isnt this typically male comeback attempt? I mean the moment they see a woman smart mouthing them ( i don't use that word in a derogatory way) they retaliate in such a shoddy manner..and to think bimbettes like Sonam add to this with their Ha Ha...

  4. Well said.. True.. the comment was in bad taste..I will not defend Shobha coz in my opinion even her comments were a little too personal in effect.. she should have limited herself to commenting on the movie. But Punit went a little overboard with his retaliation..
