what we are reading – EightandHalf
Lil late but it surely counts for the archives. So, here it is..a half page advertisement by Red Chillies Entertainment (Shah Rukh Khan ?) in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Samna, wishing Uddhav Thackeray all the best for his birthday. As they say, in Bollywood there are no permanent friends or foes!
You join politics! And that’s what India’s first Indian Idol Abhijeet Sawant has done. Sawant has joined Shiv Sena.
Abhijeet Sawant suddenly shot to fame when he won the first season of Sony Tv’s show Indian Idol. We were never too fond of him. He became gaurav of Marathi Manoos. But then everything went wrong. His albums flopped, accused of plagiarism, got bad reviews.
He moved to reality shows. Tried shaking his legs. No more luck there. Someone saw an actor in him and decided to gamble his money with Lottery. Have you even heard of it ? Obviously the film sank without any trace.
With nothing more to do, Abhijeet has joined politics just before the Maharashtra Assembly Elections. Shiv Sena’s Executive President Uddhav Thackeray made the announcement and welcomed Sawant in the party. With Shiv Sena facing tough competition from MNS, Sawant’s singing will surely manage some crowd at the rallies. Votes ? We aren’t sure.
