Ans it's not as if this kind of tactics is new to Politics, look at how brutal it can get in any General Election in the West..."
Yeah nothing new. But I gotto say that a person's capabilities in his or her professional life, should not be judged based on the right or wrong decisions he or she makes in their private lives. I think its not fair. But then the whole world is not fair.....Oh well ! This is why I didn't go for politics, or I would have.
Absolutely right its nobody but Dharamji's and Hemaji's business.As long as they are doing their duties to our country why should anyone poke their dirty little nose in the middle, like they have never taken any bad decisions in life.
BUT the fact that you're willing to ignore their personal indiscretions ( (if true ) is it because they're stars and you're associationg their onscreen persona (heroes and heroines that are virtuous to a fault) to what you think their private selves are? I mean if one of the Ghandi clan running for Office had this kinda of information surface about them, would you be so easy to forgive and forget and then vote them into power? It's easy to say separate personal from professional, but we're not talking about two distinct people it's the same man/woman who chose to do underhanded things to achieve a desired goal..with that kind of mind set who's to know what kind of devious things they'll do in office to satisfy their Professional life.
All of this is hypothetical and in no way reflects on Dharemdra and Hema...but I'm just generalizing to bring out the point that Private/Professional lives cannot be separated..as for even thinking of voting for a Movie star..well I just won't have the confident in them...no matter who it is they don't get my vote...let them stick to what they are best at ..Entertainment!
