'We don’t go into a frenzy when cameras capture SRK’s and Hrithik’s 6-pack abs'

So Deepika flaunted her perfect assets and some gawked and gaped, some others drooled and swooned, while some raised eyebrows and friends and feminists went into protest overdrive about the media coverage of it.
In this era of women emancipation, we have forgotten that it should be about equality, not being over-sensitive. We don’t go into a hostile frenzy when cameras caress and capture SRK’s and Hrithik’s perfect six-pack abs.We marvel, we envy and we drool. Why should it be different for a woman? When you are a public figure and you go out to a press event, you are bound to be dissected from your chipped nail polish to your repeated shoes. If admiring and focussing on a woman’s assets is a crime, all item numbers should be banned. How fair is it to say, I will dress to tantalise publicly, but you have to look the other way? In your homes, you dress keeping in mind the reactions you will receive from your family, in-laws, husband and neighbours.
For a celebrity, going out in front of the cameras is a responsibility to flaunt only what they want noticed and it’s really silly in the name of women’s rights to say, “Why did you notice and focus on what I flaunted?” Or, “How dare you give a public appearance media attention!” We react to situations from our point of view. Of course, to us, our point of view is absolutely valid and correct; else we wouldn’t be so vehement about it. It’s often quoted that one man’s meat is another man’s poison and that one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist. Everything in life is about perspective, and while you are governed by yours, you must keep an open mind about the flipside of the coin. As long as there is no violence or unlawful methods being adopted, everyone is entitled to their point of view. Even if it’s top angle!
