Shweta Basu sex scandal

   Shweta Basu sex scandal: Bollywood is just a fence sitter in her case


                          From the look of things, now that Mardaani is out, the actress has absolved

herself from the responsibilities of being a women's rights' activists. In a recent press

conference, the actress was asked about actress Shweta Basu Prasad's involvement in a

prostitution ring,but Mukerji, who was last seen saving a bunch of girls from a prostitution

racket onscreen, refused to comment. With Mardaani almost two weeks old, Mukerji

obviously has no need to answer questions about such issues and so she did what most

Bollywood heroines do - maintain a diplomatic silence that only serves to make them look

hypocritical.

                     It isn't just Mukerji who has kept mum on Prasad's case. While some have been

prompt at pointing out the young actress' fall from graceand one section has furiously

lashed out at them for not revealing the names of her clients and just going after her, the

actors Prasad has worked with and the wider film fraternity has decided to sit on the fence.

                   Considering how so many aspiring actors enter film industries all over the

country and are often exploited by power brokers within the industry, you'd think that the

least that B-town's rich and famous could do is be sympathetic to an actor who felt she

had no option but to resort to becoming a sex worker. However, there's been very little by

way of a public show of support for Prasad.  more >>
