Role Models?
posted May 14, 2008 - 1:33amThey are considered to be role models by the society and millions of kids aspire to be like them. I am talking about Shah Rukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar. Both great icons of their chosen fields, Cinema and Cricket.
So what do their kids look forward to. Khali. That's right. The Indian contribution to the WWE. And what's more appalling is that their parents and our kids' role models, endorse it. Recently after Khali returned from a tour both Shah Rukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar invited Khali for their respective kids to meet and see him in person. Is that all they could think of? There are so many other greats in India and abroad. They think of Khali and the media grabs it. This shows the shallowness which pervades the great icons or perceived role models of this country. Goes to prove, that making money alone is not a sign of greatness, and our media should stop glorifying such people.
WWE promotes violence. Period. And it is stupid to expose kids to such play acted violence especially when they are trying to pass it off as real. If that was not enough we have the biggest stars of this country endorsing it. I wonder how many kids, after reading the great fortune of SRK and Sachin's kids, wanted to be in their shoes.
