When I wake up in the morning and the sunlight first hits my shut eyes, the first thing I want to open my eyes are to my phone screen. After checking if something earth shattering has happened over the night on social media I scourge for news on Google. Every now and then something interesting or outrageous catches my eye. Today was not a disappointing day either.
After India’s recent win in the Olympics, everyone is a sports guru in this country. Which is a great thing for sports and sportsmen all around, if it was limited only to sports. Our media has gone bonkers - digging up histories of all medal winners, their humble beginnings and love life are the top of mind these days. So it was sort of obvious that our gold winner Neeraj Chopra who is also called “easy on the eyes” (insert eye roll) would not be spared. But a recent post of Red FM really baffled me.
There are a bunch of RJ’s singing “Ude jab jab Zulfe teri” to a visibly uncomfortable Neeraj Chopra on Zoom call. Thank God he was not in the studio. I shudder at the thought of what the gyrating ladies would do if they met him in person. So we have a world class sportsperson, who won an Olympic gold for the country and we call him on a show and “tease” him? The video ends with the RJ saying “zyada cheda to nahi humne?” What if a couple of male RJ’s had done this with PV Sindhu? Umm, no comments. Rant over.
