Preity Zinta: *giggle, giggle*, *laugh*” |
No…I haven’t. I wish I had…” |
What… the f**k?? Are you serious right now? Did you actually say that you wish for sexual harassment? |
You then tried to explain this reaction by saying that just so you could have answered the question… I mean… what??? |
Even then, you want to have had experienced sexual harassment or something worse just so you could give an answer? What kind of logic is that? |
It’s pretty safe to generalise that almost every woman in India has faced sexual advancements atleast once in their lifetime…and so you don’t need to experience a #Metoo moment to reply to the dumb interviewer’s question properly. |
Zinta has a few hours back tweeted about how the answer was taken out of context due to bad editing. |
The Dumb AF Interviewer Giving His Own Pearls Of Wisdom |
When Zinta said that, …this is very relevant question because people treat you the way you want to be treated. |
The interviewer, Faridoon Shahryar, promptly jumped in and gave some very very very wise words indeed. |
Perfectly letting us know that all this time we have been looking at the #MeToo movement completely wrong. |
He said that, |
“Exactly, it’s also about the way you project, you know. |
Because many a times there are a lot of people who are saying that you know, having … giving all the indications and all the stuff and after that just turning back because you did not get the role and coming up with stories… that is something which is happening as well which is I think a bit… which makes it a bit dubio... |
Wow… this means we have been looking at the whole movement incorrectly… the oppressed and wronged people here are all the accused who did absolutely nothing wrong and are just hapless victims to the devious accusers who are being petty after not getting a role. They definitely did not submit into the demands of the cas... |
And then the next part Zinta just rambled about how children need to be taught about this, and how her living in America has given her this enlightenment. |
And while her point of gender sensitisation is not wrong, but then her comments did not make a lick of sense. |
The film industry is one of the most safest places, there’s some of the most decent people I worked with. So I feel really bad when people say this industry is really and yes if they are dodgy people well there’re bad people everywhere.” |
“There is nothing you can do to change the world, the only thing you can change is yourself” |
– Preity Zinta |
What do I even do with these comments of her? How can she state that the Bollywood industry is one of the most safest places when so many accusations and stories of sexual harassment, assault and more have come out? |
And nothing you can do to change the world? Ma’am let me tell you that this movement is changing the world and the professional industries in some major ways. Powerful people are finally realising that their position and fame will not be a ‘safe from jail’ (a Monopoly reference) card for them and that they will have to... |
Tons already have. |

And this was a gem from her interview video: |
Preity Zinta: |
“Aaj ki sweetu kal ki metoo ho sakti hai. |
So don’t hang out with any Sweetu.” |
Sigh. I can’t even… is she drunk? Or high? What kind of drugs is she taking? |
This entire interview was so crass and badly answered to almost everyone, the victims of sexual harassment in Bollywood, the people who are working to bring justice to them and to the entire #MeToo movement in India itself. |

Poem: Inscrutable Wisdom |
Dream of having nothing at all, and think |
what you’d be, fossilized snot bubble, skipping light |
curmudgeon complaining, casting darts on the lawn in formation |
in the morning |
on their day off, they can’t read it |
at first as they haven’t the angle, it takes time |
to understand the meaning |
of a disappointing slime leaking, it’s nothing. |
at all dummy, this is nothing just like everything. |
But people loved it, they went crazy |
chanting intricately in column formations |
and shit, assuming it’s a warning, filling a hole |
with wishes written down and set |
aflame, until a pit of ashes in its place |
raked by an elderly Chinese man |
wondering what the words had meant |
becomes the sole symbol, showing that shadow |
obscures nothing of note, and mystery is wanting |
not finding a solution, the search itself is. |
Poem: Inscrutable Wisdom |
Poem: Nightmare 2 |
I shock into the world everyday |
at dawn, I’m surrounded by trenchcoats |
surrendering to the past, flicking butts |
from day to night, as the world turns |
they learn not at all, as they are all fury |
fear and fellowship, so to speak down |
is knowing the time of day, the masses huddled |
no more, girded by spiteful fury |
depression draining life forever |
Poem: Nightmare 2 |
Poem: Goddess |
She don’t feel like living, or that’s what she said |
and at least there’s a stitch of life, in that |
expressing the knowledge of a lack of spirit |
belies the truth, that we wish |
everyone for something more, crawling through storm |
strains yielding none at all progress |
building from scraps to torrents, life is a torture |
tornado, hurricane house fire. |
She’s a tangible beauty, oddly see-through |
personality parable, retracting with vicious abandon |
what springs from the self |
fulfilling prophesy, shaman the world over |
know her intoxication, dying like ink |
colored intangibly nameless shades |
of blue and red, wordless novels in her eyes |
predict apocalypse, set the sky on fire. |
Also a playtime puppy, bothersome occasionally |
in an endearing way, running loops |
through familiar topics etching the earth |
with crop circles, so that the meaning is hidden |
prior to completion, making a short story |
longer than a lifetime, and twice as hazardous |
for those who mistake the meaning |
pervading rants, they are as shadows at dawn. |
We are connected in every way |
all the time, each of us living through the other’s |
thrill buried in a musical wavering |
tuned precisely, is our chaotic lovemaking |
with the world of artistic expression |
appreciated mastery, she is a goddess |
