<description>Hi Vibhu

I was talking about Sonu&#039;s claim that he has some SMSs from Jha(I love you, I miss you etc.) that he can easily produce as evidence. My concern is that we become judgemental too soon.I agree with you that we don&#039;t walk around ready to record but in this case there is evidence that should be made public as well to substantiate the accusation. Jha is not totally wrong in his criticism of Sonu&#039;s singing. (Please don&#039;t get me wrong because I like Sonu&#039;s singing a lot).I want to ask you, just for argument&#039;s sake, if you were innocent and some girl accused you of molesting her, would you not want that she had some proof before she blamed you. (This happens too sometimes). Also,I know some gay men who are very nice people so it will be unfair for me to agree that all gays are dangerous. I think good and bad exist among both gays and straights.</description>

<description>Vibha, do you think Sonu moved around with a recorder to record this crime. How do you expect one to know this will happen and proactively record the crime? Lets say, God forbid, if you are going to get raped would you know? No, right? These gays are very dangerous and are loosing it. Because we as common man have not given them accpetance. Look for examplet the Siffer from SIF, their wives have exposed their gay activities and now they are unable to bear this becuase they know our Indian society considers this stigma. </description>

<description>If what Sonu is saying is true, then certainly Jha is totally out of line. What I find intersting is that most of us have believed Sonu too soon. Maybe Sonu was unable to bear the criticism in Jha&#039;s article and used this tactic to stop Jha from writing more about his weak points in singing. If I have read the article correctly, Jha has simply said that Sonu becomes nasal in his high notes. He says that about Mukesh and Sehgal also. What we have to do is actually see if what Jha is saying as a journalist is true or not. At the same time Sonu should be expected to prove his allegations.</description>

<description>This happened to the famous Sonu Nigam a few years back----and he kept quiet. 
It went &lt;b&gt;unreported, under the carpet&lt;/B&gt;

So, can you imagine how many common women hide these facts when sexual advancements are made to them...at work, at any place! All of these go unreported, victims do not use the laws provided to them.

Now when Sonu Nigam spills the beans--today he has received death threats! 

So if a woman dares to open her mouth, then she will be wiped out, killed....her body never to be found.

Now I understand that when siffers degrade their wives, why their wives do not come on DC to offer their side of the story. Because they fear their life, their safety, their well being...coz we are familiar with the angry,verbally abusive, aggressive  nature of siffers who are so angry with their wives who have dared to take legal action.

God save Sonu Nigam and each and every victimised wife of these siffer criminals.

<description>The bottom line is Subash Jha is a man(obviously) and he belongs to one place--SIF--Welcome to SIF, an org that gives refuge to rapists, thugs, cons, chors, dowry takers, convicts and criminals. Membership is free for everyone. </description>

<description>Pipped to the post! I&#039;ve always thought Jha was a kiss ass and the Anu Malik-Alisha Chinai episode told me all I needed to know about friendship and hatred in the film industry so I dont expect this to come to anything - however, this is a new one on me. I wonder if this is what all those pissed off celebs were talking about on KJo&#039;s show when they heaped scorn on filmi reviewers? At least Bollywood is talking about the casting couch now... till a couple of years back it was all - us? casting couch? chee chee! kabhi nahin. </description>
