Hey Idiot Its Reel Life

Hey Idiot Its Reel Life
After the success of 3 idiots, I had been watching out each and every preview on news channel which can air a conversation with “The perfectionist” Aamir Khan. The day came very soon when he took an avatar of Spokesperson for Vidhu Vinod Chopra (VVC) Production house along with other crew member talking about the story and the script. But the dream took an ugly turn when agitated VVC embroiled in skirmishes with a reporter. So Before I could satiate my fathom for 3 Idiots it became an exaggerated TRP baby. But finally things turned my side when I saw Aamir Khan in “Aap Ki Adalat” few days back. I ensconced myself with lot of eatables in my offing and forgot rest everything. The conversation started off with light talks but how can we assume that media Brats like Rajat Kapoor not pinning down Achilles Heel. So the heated argument of VVC with media became the pivot of conversation. Aaamir handled it quite well and moved ahead. I heard a head turner in midst of the conversation when he talked about his disappointment with Big B over “Black”. I was perplexed when I heard that he blamed Amitabh Bachachan for supporting Child abuse in the movie. After these excerpt I lost my concentration from rest of the talk as my mind was fishing around the quote made regarding “Black”. As I m an aficionado of Amitji as well as Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Khamoshi, HDDCS, Devdas fame) so it was not easy for me to eat a humble pie for lampooning my demi Gods.
Since I watched Aamir in his directorial debut “Taare Zameen Par” I was surprised why an actor in spring of his on-screen career would take such a risk behind the screen, that too with such a sensitive issue? Why after maiden off screen appearance in TZP he hanged his shoe? But that night I got the answer of the big Q “Why Aamir Khan made Taare Zameen Par”. So, was it an effort to square off with Amitabh and to make TZP a pit against “Black”. Undoubtedly, Aaamir has remained a front runner against any menace of society be it Narmada Bacho or Tourism Bachao Aandolan and his concern for Child abuse is worth appreciation but to laden someone solely for such a menace doesn’t suit his persona. Of course Big B is the biggest icon of India and the whole nation emulates him. But there is a shear gap between his real and reel life. If Aamir shoots a Politician in Rang de Basanti in fits of rage of a scam does it mean he is promoting violence among youngsters? This question is answer to his question.
TZP he asked a question to parents whether they want a pedantic, sophisticated and vigorous tutor (Debraj Sahai) or a suave, maverick and empathetic mentor (Ram Shankar Nikam) for their little angels. Whether they want their child to grow strong against all the odds on their own or they want to pamper the buds till they bloom as flowers. And screamingly an obvious and unanimous answer was the latter one. But in midst of this hullaballoo we forgot about Ishant Awasti and Michelle. Both these characters are less similar but more different. For one life is beautiful as he can see the beautiful world, express his thoughts, share his feeling with his ilk and live life up to the hilt. But the latter one is a neglected gift of God for whom life is a curse. Her only weapon is her instincts. She is a completely ostracized baby for whom the world is zipped in her villa, her friends are her toys. Obsession of these fictitious characters, overlook of parents and invidious sibling has turned her more frustrated, obstinate and obdurate spoiled brat. So her concerns are quite grave than other children. Her mistakes are obfuscated as her mischievousness and her need as her stubbornness. Due to such reclusive environment she had made her own world of fictitious stars (her toys) where she rules. And any restriction in her world annoys her. In Lay mans term if Ishant is in the primary stage of this nemesis then Michelle is in the final stage. And she need a severe treatment as compared to her ilk.
My last few words are especially for parents that each child is different and they need to be pampered different. Scolding or thrashing a child for his refurbishment is not a testament of promoting child abuse. It is the other bitter half of the love and care which children don’t understand. Parenting is not just about soothing emotions and tapping back for their liabilities in fact it is bolstering those amateur minds keeping a tab on them. Lastly regarding the comment of Aamir Khan I would say there are several facets of the same nugget only our mind remains stationary sometimes.
