The (un)Objective Comment

“I loved Kites. Bollywood has come a long way.” I excitedly shared this with my friends.

“It’s bullshit. I can’t imagine Hrithik Roshan acting. Better you go and watch The Notebook. It’s true copy.” My friend Steven snapped.

I could imagine the conversation leading to argument and decided to change the topic. We started discussing how fantastic the pickup of BMW was which we were driving in.

After spending the fantastic evening in the Dubai bar, when we reached back the hotel, I was curious to know why Steven did not like Kites. I tried to probe and he endlessly reiterated that the idea was not original. I too am, not very appreciative of stolen concepts and agreed with him. However, I personally like Hrithik Roshan’s flawless performance and can bet it was one of his best. So, I added with caution, “ Where do you think Hrithik could have done better.”

“I just don’t like that nut.”

“But, you said his acting was bad.”

“I just hate the look of that six-fingered.” He snapped.
“How’s that related to his acting.” I questioned.

No answer. I assumed he did not know whether Hrithik’s performance was flawed.

This reminds that, over time our perception is built and it’s not easy to challenge them. This may sometimes stop from appreciating a great deed or celebrating a big achievement. If you still hate someone, ask yourself—WHY? If you don’t have an answer, look for something to appreciate.

Now, I’m trying to figure out why I hate Shah Rukh Khan so much.
