Today, we come up with a new property called Reading Out Loud.
The big news this week is the troubled Sunaina Roshan, daughter of Rakesh and Pinky Roshan, sister of Hrithik Roshan. But what’s the real story? WE BRING IT TO YOU IN THE VIDEO BELOW:
For those who’ve come in late, we reflow the story for you right below:
All calls to Rakesh, Pinky and Hrithik must have failed. Journalists, am I right? We all want sensationalism, we all want quotable quotes, we all 'think' it is news. That includes me, high on the list. But often we do not know the real story. Nidhi Razdan from NDTV tells you so often 'Every story has 3 sides'. But still, you and I have been of the firm opinion that 'Every story has 2 sides'.
It doesn't matter here whether Hrithik had an affair with Kangana Ranaut/ Barbara Mori/ anybody else. It doesn't matter here what went wrong with Sussanne Roshan's life at the Roshans' residence in Juhu. It doesn't matter here whether Sunaina is siding Kangana over Hrithik. Look at the Roshans' residence now and you will feel scared standing below the building in question. In fact, Sussanne herself tweeted an appeal last evening, yes it was an APPEAL but did any section of the media write that word APPEAL? No, we were just in a hurry to put it out first- the mad race of the Internet where we are often asked to keep our brains aside. Some seniors in various portals have even said that: So what? Put out the denial later? Woh bhi content hai, it will only help us to quantify. LOL!
But no, this is absolutely no time to laugh, not even smile. Sunaina Roshan is going through a terrible emotional disturbance, she is saying anything in thin air, she is doing everything that needs not be done.
Day before evening, she called to tell me, "I had a nervous breakdown, last week. A doctor was at home near me." Compare this to her statements which were given only last week, saying, "I am okay. I haven't had any medication."
And do you know what happened, last night? Roshans are my neighbours and I am not standing up for them because we happen to stay opposite each other. It's just time to understand the plight of Sunaina who had contracted very high fever in childhood. It's time to understand that Rakesh Roshan is in the midst of chemotherapy sessions.
So yeah, what happened last night? As I reached home from office and got down from an Uber, I saw two ambulances parked outside. I saw Hrithik Roshan almost running towards his car. I am told that Pinky Roshan had taken Sunaina to a doctor in the morning and Rakesh and Hrithik had followed them. While she was leaving, Sunaina had threatened to slap the watchman, she showed him a raised hand. Are you scared? I am.
And the night before that? She was shouting at the top of her voice for the longest time.
And today? She is very much at home and her phone is off.
Aren't you scared?
Tell me, in such a state, how can she stay alone? She is demanding a new house from her father and brother- but do you know she has almost an entire floor to herself (after Hrithik separated to stay alone in a sea-facing flat (near Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Vivek Oberoi) in the Palazzo building where Roshans stay?
And what does she eat? Only mutton, chicken and fish. What does she drink? No water. Yes, you read it right. She drinks only aerated drinks when she's thirsty.
Yes, she was in alcoholic rehab. But now, little does she realise that even a drink at a social gathering could make her re-enter that hellhole?
Do you know, two years ago, she sold almost all her jewels through a servant? The Roshans went back to the jeweller and recovered the jewels in the nick of time.
Can we end this media circus on Sunaina Roshan? Or at least, down it in numbers? Even if your Editor or whosoever in your office is asking you to up it. Time we journalists learn to get to the bottom of truth in every story and then put our bylines (which we are obsessed with) out. And remember, the basic element in a success story of a person is his ability to say 'No'.
I am shocked that even the print media, which has always played it safe and sound, has not taken much pains to dig deeper into what's happening.
Amen.
