THIS WEEK’S unavoidable news on all the channels and newspapers is the arrest of actor Shiny Ahuja. The actor was arrested for allegedly raping his household maid. The final truth is still to be cleared but this throws out the most important question: The role of celebrities in our society.
That Ahuja stooped so low to even get involved with his household help is something not acceptable. Forget his personal life, what he totally ignored was his public figure status. When a celebrity or a famous figure gets involved in such activities what its leads to is a huge outcry and publicity in the media. Such news generates more of a negative impact then a positive one.
A leading star involved in rape, a leading actor involved in drunk and drive accident-killing people at night. A sportsman involved in slapping other of his teammate or a leading cricketer hiding his injury. These are news that has more of a disturbing impact then a positive one. These news start providing food of thought to common people and some even try and imitate their famous counter parts.
The fame and name comes with lots of responsibilities. When a nation showers love and affection and creates a celebrity out of a no-body, it also demand ethics and responsible deeds from such person. They must not start taking these love and confidence for granted and must behave properly. The days are not far off when all this fame would be gone over night and they would be left with the shadows of their dark past.

'domestic help' as human as any one else. In most cases even the wives are also taken as no more than domestic helps.If the two had sex, it could have been consensual , there is also a possibly of later recanting and plaything to higher stakes tutored or otherwise.
There is no big thing in being a star or whatever else, eventually all have human weaknesses. A so called star has so many opportunities lost or won, their life is so artificial. Enacting close intimate scenes with co stars with whom to get more intimate or be bitching later is another aspect of this life. So frustrating when you analyse.v
