Creepy Celebs
Since we have Michael Jackson, America wins the creepy-celeb contest hands down. But there are creepy celebs in other places. "According to Shakti Kapoor, his wife sees nothing indecent about his 'proposal' to a struggler-turned-female journalist on spy cam. There's complete harmony at home, he says. The screen baddie, who was apparently caught making promises of stardom to the girl in return for sexual favours, says he was falsely implicated in a sting operation orchestrated by a satellite news channel. Besides an overwhelming show of solidarity from the entire film fraternity, Shakti claims he's proud of the fact that his wife Shibani Kolhapuri and other family members have been unwavering in their support even after the damning video footage was aired on TV.
" 'At this difficult time, I am happy that my wife is by my side. She treats me as her only God on this earth. She is a typical Hindu woman who is very religious. She sees me as her Pati Parmeshwar and the video has done nothing to change that image. All this false and distorted exposure has not shaken her confidence in me one bit. In fact more than me, it is my wife who has jumped to my defence. If she has her way, she will go up to Mr Illiyasi and give him a good thrashing.' "
Clearly the Hindustan Times has got the tabloid approach nailed. I'd like to see somebody thrashed but not Mr. Illiyasi, whomever the hell he might be. Hey gals, are you treating your man as your only god on Earth? Me neither.
