Poor Publicity
25.03.14
It is not a good time to be in journalism but it is
crazy time for being in public relations because they have to make headlines
out of nothing. Last read an item about Kareena Kapoor reacting to a newcomer
as a lookalike of Sister Karisma Kapoor. Anybody who knows Bebo will agree that
she will never find anybody good enough to be compared to her sister but she
must have let that pass for better preoccupations. These days I’m sent press
releases about Nargis Fakhri feeling excited about wearing a bikini in a
forthcoming film. She was a riot on the show with Karan on TV and this sounds
even crazier. Smart girl Sonam Kapoor, to not discuss anything in print and
quietly walk into a frame cladding a bikini for Yash Raj Films Bewaqoofiyaan
and smart boy Varun Dhawan for not making a big deal about his six pack or lip
lock scene for father David Dhawan Main Tera Hero produced by Balaji Motion
Pictures where Varun stars with Ileana Dcruz and Nargis Fakri in lead roles.
In that sense there is a lot to learn from Kangana
Ranaut who has proved a Queen in every respect after her sensational
performance in the film. Ranaut was far from desperate during her promotion and
the confidence reflected in her simple attire – cotton shirt and jeans devoid
of makeup when addressing print and electronic media. Remember how she sat
quietly listening to Priyanka Chopra wax eloquent during the promotion rounds
of Krrish 3 and took the thunder from everyone with her spectacular look and
performance! She has been low key about her forthcoming Revolver Rani letting
the publicists talk as much as they want about her co-star Vir Das and all the
inconsequential details.
