New Delhi:
Shah Rukh Khan lost his cool (and Salman wasn't even there). Sridevi's face looked inflexible when she tried to smile (you know what that means) and the long-standing debate on why Indian films are still just Hindi films, gets a new twist. As IIFA ends, the chinwag begins.
Known to speak her mind, actor Khushbu Sundar tweeted on the veracity of a global showcase for Indian cinema, represented by only Hindi cinema. Her tweets:
"Hindi industry remake all of south indian films or get "inspired" by them yet you avoid them..why"
"You have best of talent down south n nobody can deny that...wake up IIFA!!!!"
"Why south indian films are not part of IIFA? You represent Indian films or just Hindi films at IIFA?not fair IIFA :-(".
Then, Khusbu tweeted author and politician Shashi Tharoor to send the message to the IIFA: "@ShashiTharoor Hi Mr.Tharoor,why don't you take the initiative of promoting south indian cinema at IIFA?after all its about indian cinema."
With Khusbu, Shashi Tharoor and many others joining the debate on SNS, this one's going to go on till the next edition of the IIFA extravaganza.
After storming Toronto in full-on superstar mode, the badshah's patience ran thin (could be the niggling knee injury) when he was asked about his 7-year-long absence from IIFA. Shah Rukh said the media have created a myth that film stars are petty-minded people who constantly worry about losing out to each other. "Any star who has the time, comes. Yeh apke dimaag main hai ke actors/actresses ek chhat ke niche naahi aana pasand karte. Achhi baat yeh hai ke sab masroof hain aur masroofiat se aa nahi sakte. Otherwise none of us have any issues."
Salman's absence obviously hasn't done much to soothe SRK's frayed nerves.
Next point of debate is Sridevi and her (reportedly) botoxed face. Not-so-hot in a strapless red gown, few missed her lopsided attempt at a smile while presenting an award on stage. Add to that the recent report of Boney Kapoor being cash crunched thanks to hi-maintenance wife Sridevi and uh-oh, the fat's in the fire.
If you are all IIFA-ed out after the weekend gala, in true Bollywood style, the show is far from over.
