We need to talk about Botox Turd

It is important that we spend some time trying to know Botox Turd, not that she is worth it but it will give insight into a mindset which has become quite common.

Botox Turd is an actress who has packaged herself quite successfully as ‘intellectual artist’\ ‘thinking actress’ for some decades now, and so has reaped huge benefits. She started her career as ‘accidental find’, when she was fresh out of the institute. The ‘accidental’ part is a joke since it doesn’t require much thinking to know that she got the role where many deserving didn’t, because of her father. Incidentally I have immense respect for this woman’s father, he was incredibly talented and a great human, no pretensions. But Botox Turd is a different breed (I guess she is the product of crassness of our time) she used him to his last breath. Poor man must be wriggling in his grave. Botox Turd’s success in positioning has more to do with her “validh” (very valid!!).

If she did work in some excellent movies (as also crass) the credit should go to the script writers and the Director but Botox Turd usurped all that to come out as a savior, being a muslim made it easy. Further there were (and still are) people much talented than her, ending up in TV serials or no work (I had the opportunity to watch theatre troupes from small towns they are incredible). During the shooting of one of her early movie the story she doesn’t stop elaborating is about how she went to observe a woman who lived in abject poverty as her study material (it is astounding how they use people). And what she found was (hold your breath on this) that how people could live without AC!!!. Atleast it is better than another actress-parliamentarian who came to know about poverty in India through movies! (I don’t blame her without a background that Turd has she will make such blatantly stupid statement). So Turd came to know that people could live without AC, this was early 1970s!!. Then Turd famously went in for bookh hartal for slum dwellers. This worked well for her and she is reaping on it even now.

There are some very committed, not famous, not wanting any fame, who are involved in some incredible activities around the country like say to give some recent example Irom Sharmila in Manipur who was in hunger for weeks or say the anganwadi worker whose hands were chopped an year back, and many many millions who carry on with their job without attaching much significance to their contribution. But Botox Turd doing even a small thing is event, she does have backyard NGO which she supports as part of packaging and she will see to that she gets maximum mileage on this. One wonders how will many of these pretentious people survive without slums or street children, where is the photo-op!!. Some of the NGOs based next to power centers also try to buy or influence genuine NGOs based in villages so as to accrue benefit, NGO ladies and gentleman is one big licking space.

An Amitabh Bachchan, a Rajnikanth, Shah Rukh Khan or any other immensely popular actor have done more to the country by means of paying huge tax (offcourse there are tax evasions but accept it- what they give as tax is very significant like multi-millionaires in other field). Any child will tell you that the basic infrastructural needs, government doles to poor and so on come from this money (yes even garbage collection). A contribution Botox Turd can only dream since she was never popular and so less earning (she is the only blot in one of my favorite movie Amar Akbar Anthony. Any guesses on how she got that role??!!. She knew she can never be popular so she packaged the ‘concerned celebrity’ part and since being licking.

So are we against celebrity endorsing cause??. Off course not. But the celebrity has to be famous, popular, it assures reach. We are indebted to Shah Rukh Khan for taking time from his very busy schedule to enlighten people on keeping street clean (off course more than ads focus need to be at the educational level). Botox Turd was never popular nor she can claim be to more concerned than anyone else, just acting in certain movies doesn’t give her that position, she acted in equally crass failed movies. Democracy functions with pressure groups (not lobbies); it needs some very committed genuine people, meaning people who function at grassroots-carrying years of experience and involvement, they add dimensions missed by the gloss. They are the one who should have impact on policy making. People like Botox Turd diffuse the seriousness of the issue, and in the stampede for self promotion they crass, they caricature the situation. People like her blur the lines and bring in the elements of crassness and gross, at the expense of addressing severe problems common people face. They use it as an opportunity to self promote. Incidentally Turd even has recipe for Kashmir problem!!...well the nearest she got to Kashmir was pillion riding Abdullah boy (most of the Kashmir problem can be traced to Farooq Abdullah’s amazing incompetence and equally passionate speaking skills…it took people sometime to see through the charade….now he does the rounds of TV studios. He is also the member of BCCI. It’s a round world with Jaitley boy also sharing some experience on licking!!. Indian cricket is in safe hands and so are programmers in TV studios!!).

Being a Muslim is what has helped Botox Turd immensely (in Indian context a muslim is automatically a secular…Turd is much more than that), what has she to do with problems common Muslims face is a mystery. In case one forgets a Muslim is a human first, so it is not necessary that only a Muslim can understand the problems of Muslim, particularly those who are poor. Anyway she never had any views, it was mostly to be on the safer side (sophisticate, diplomatic whatever one said). She did try to rush to Imrana (with media) but then that was before they decided on who should be NCW Chairperson, which Turd was salivating for.

Making statements from studios or moving arse in ‘intellectual circle’ doesn’t add much nor makes anyone bold (she is only a packaged counterpart of Shahi Imam, providing ‘bites’). What matters is common people at common places doing some extraordinary work and they get the institutional support. Pimping for poor is an old business which has recently got very lucrative. If any popular actor involves himself or herself is welcomed but pretenders are what we need be careful about. They squat themselves near power centers; they have occupied a space which popular actors have no time or inclination for. There is a huge lick here, media complies as it add to the gloss. Botox Turd has been hugely successful in this.

Post Script: This woman is an opportunist and as crude it can get. Even in her prime she talked trash (like on Smita Patil…Turd can never be Smita Patil. Smita Patil was best of hindi movie could ever produce), she foul mouthed (documented by none other than Mrinal Sen). People do mellow down with age but Turd gets cruder, probably trying to keep up scoring brownie points with her counterparts and yes the Market needs. If despite her background the woman is such a disgust then think if she was from slums, abusive surrounding. A woman from slums making their living is more inspiring, botox turd has to learn her lessons, some very humbling (her father was extremely subtle, civilized man). This woman has a big ego, despite a hypocrite she sees herself a savior. For audience like us it is rather funny. And it should remain that way, people can decide for themselves, it is only when they start licking at responsible position that we need be cautious. It is shocking that she was nominated to Rajya Sabha (Mahajan ??)
