The way media is glamorising these negative characters is praiseworthy. After the arrest of Salem and Bedi, TV channels were found vying to be the first to give details of the breakfast Abu Salem would take in the lock-up. The media is not interested in showing the dietary charts of players like Leander Paes, Sania Mirza or Sachin Tendulkar. The lifestyle of dons and goons seems more attractive. Soon publishing houses might come up with a book by Monica Bedi — "What should celebrities eat in a lock-up" or "What shade of lipstick should one wear to the court". Recently I saw a local badmash
fighting with a journalist. He was saying, "Today you are not
giving me proper coverage. The day I become an underworld don, you will
even write about what kind of undergarments I wear." |
A
saleswoman in a boutique was trying to convince a customer, "Take
this suit, ma’m. This is the suit Monica Bedi wore when she appeared
for the first time for police interrogation". The customer lapped
up the dress. Soon Abu Salem T-shirts may be available in the market.
