Meow. Catfights in the film industry aren't really new.Film history abounds with entertaining examples of how one actress ruined her manicure by pulling out an other's hair.Such altercations are enjoyable for the gossip loving masses- necessary, even , to feel connected to the people behind the larger than life screen images.But sexist or not it's mostly the female celebrities who've given in to their ego and made their dislike for each other in the most spectacular fashion. Like so much else Web 2.0 is changing that.
Bollywood actors now have
lucrative blog deals they need to justify with one scandal creating statement after the other. Perhaps that's why Aamir Khan has given in to the puerile schoolboy in him and bought the house that came-coincidentally of course-with a pet pooch named after his arch rival Shah Rukh Khan. So when Aamir blogged that "Shah Rukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits now and then", he wasn't trying to send the celebrity obsessed media into a tizzy(yeah right). Even venerable Amitabh Bachchan has waded into the fray with his own potshot at , you guessed it, Shah Rukh Khan.He's displayed his catty side by rechristening Shah Rukh's new quiz show "Paanchvi Fail" and comparing it to its TRPs with his stellar ratings for his Kaun Banega Crorepati.The gloves are off,gauntlets have been thrown and it's daggers at dawn in the virtual world. So let's just wait and watch the battle of the blogs folks....for the off screen war is yet to begin....
