Yesterday while driving to work, I was listening to the songs from Silsila and had a thought about the reaction to certain behavior. I have seen comments from Chami regarding Rekha and Amitabh. Although mentioned here is the issues of Amitabh/Rekha and Dharmendra/Hema, it has less to do about them than it does bout our acceptance/rejection of behavior. I suspect that Chami is against Rekha because of her affinity to Amitabh. It is my observation that Rekha was subjected to more ridicule than Hema was. In fact, I cannot remember Hema being subjected to any ridicule. Is this because we have always perceived Hema as the decent belle as opposed to Rekha being more of a sex symbol?
The real question is; are we inclined to accept/reject words/actions/behavior based on our affinity to the perpetrator of them?
