kya socha aur kya paaya

I guess yesterday was my turn to be surprised!! As I sat through fliiping one boring channel after another (what has happened to cable television nowadays??? NatGeo and Discovery seem to be on eternal reruns, travel and living is happily thriving in the valentine mood...and the movie channels..lets not even go there! Hey..btw, nobody dare ask me WHAT I was doing at home on a beautiful sunday evening...whatever!), when I saw the "straight" talking Karan Johar sipping coffee with the masticating SJ Bhansali and the "Lovable" ambassador Mallika Sherawat. So, I nestled into my blanket, waiting to be entertained with her scatter (heehee) brained humour and his serious demeanour, when...I hate to admit it, was pleasantly surprised! The lady who spoke (yes, I was in fact listening to her, while my dad drooled) seemed to have a rather smart head on her shoulders- articulate, witty, spunky and honest- that is what Mallika Sherawat seemed to be! That was so refreshing and such a complete anti-thesis to what I had pictured her to be (ok, she might be one of a kind-because Rakhi Sawant suddenly made a guest appearance in my head right now..and frankly, my enthusiasm is a trifle squahed!). Anyway, the Bhansali guy was the same old insipid, self...but I must say this Haryanwi chic stole the show. Sudden flashback to the previous show and Ms.Priyanka-personality of a wallpaper-Chopra reminds me of how being "politically correct" is an excuse for dull-dimwitted brains. Frankly, that girl is a blob on "smart chics" - take away "what ya...no comments and awesome" from her vocab, and she will be legally dumb!..ok, non-filmy background...so she has made it into the big league...yeah fine, whatever..but Come on...show some vitality..some spark....not the same old " No comments, none of your business...well, times have changed"crap......
Ok, so you think Ms.Sherawat aka Ms.Lamba was the only exception..well think again..i have one more example to prove that just because one hails from a cultured family/hangs out with the khadi wearing, jhola carrying, Satyajit Ray is God society, you are smart! Well, pardon me...but last night, I was a witness to yet another surprise...Konkana Sen sharma, ladies and gentlemen has the personality of a doormat (not even the cheerful parrot green ones, I might add..the old drabby ones which have been exposed to all the gore and dirt which the owner has collected while trudging through all the slums of Navi Mumbai!). That lady could not frame a sentence with ease and was SO dull when it came to the interview..I think she has memorised a few sentences which she conveniently regurgitates as the need arises! She is a brilliant actor, with a rather shrewd mom, but some wiring is mesed up...I would love to have Cyrus talk to her and make mince meat out of her..all she can say is "sorry...shut up...no way...and absolutely!!!"
Right..now that I have proven to be an A-class bitch, I just wanted to make a statement that appearances are deceptive...Amitabh as an actor is phenomenal ..but as a person..well, I have my doubts(really..who gets into tiny squabbles with an actor 25 years his junior or have flings with anything that walked in skirts)...Mallika is sexy and hey..I think she is even more quick witted than sexy..Priyanka chopra..child, you need to undergo and brain transplant..and Ms.Sen Sharma..frankly my dear, I dont give a damn!
