“When someone is passed away, we try to find out their virtues with a magnifying glass but when they r alive we only find out their faults.”Afzal hossain the popular TV actor said this in 2001 after the untimely death of director Aheer Alam.
Today your departure has made me reminded of this.
“I find God inside children”-once you said in an interview.
“Bloody hypocrite.” I said angrily seeing that on paper. Today I’m asking myself.-“why”? Did I ever see u fondling any kid unlike what was proved in the court? Was that possible for me? None of the charges against you were proved true in front of the court, rather those were considered as a trap to extort money from you. But the media seemed to know everything that no one does. They sealed the word ‘child abuser’ beside your name forever--------
But we know, such things really happen. Millions, billons, trillions of kids all over the world are being harassed everyday sometimes by their close ones. Many are embracing death being the victim of Never ending(!) lust of so called ‘elders’. But how many of such cases are bought to the court even after having clear evidence? How many mothers dare to take their children’s side not being aware of the ‘honor’ (!) of their family? And even if someone dares, the police often refuse to take the case because the client is not able to bribe them or just because the accused one is from an ‘influential’ family may be having a political background. Many People around the world miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles away from you didn’t miss any single chance to dub you as ‘baby f**ker’ but ignored the real ones around themselves.Why?May be alllllll were jealous of your name and fame which we were unable to earn.
Once in an accident your hair was set on fire and a large portion of your head had been burnt. From then pain killer and u had been friends forever. But why did we come to know this NOW????I still can’t forget that even this accident of your life was once mocked by an eminent American rapper in one of his videos. (I’m intentionally not mentioning his name).But why? Why someone’s pain becomes amusement for the others? How could you dare to heal such a selfish world?
“The man is a crack. Why did he turn his skin white when he was already famous with his black skin”? I heard several people saying this about you. I really never tried to find what made u take such a decision while u had always been raised your voice against racism? Was it a way to show your agression to the world?Or just a severe vitiligo? Duh! What’s the help of knowing this now?
U uttered this in your own exclusive style-
“If you’re Thinkin' Of
Being My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White”.
But it still does matter in one way or another. I’m from a country where majority of people have got dark complexion.-“so, what type of bride do u want, dude?”
-“FAIR skinned, tall, slim,a paragon of beauty.” This is the answer which is common to hear after asking the question mentioned above to any guy here. Whenever a dark baby girl is born in a family all her relatives whisper among themselves.-“It will be troublesome to marry her off.” Frustration consumes the girl as she grows up. No matter how good & intelligent she is, no matter how much talent she shows, the society keeps on reminding her-“U r a dark ugly chick.” This is why she suffers from identity crisis. People suggest her fairness creams, home made face packs, even bleaches which damage her skin badly. But nobody dares to say,-“you are a good girl, why do you bother with your complexion”?
The difference between you and us is we can’t scream in the pain of our tortured soul in front of the whole world like you did.So,don’t worry we still can assure you now in your own language that you are not alone. Though you were so lonely in this earth that you had to consider your chimp as your best friend but whenever you were out you had to crawl away from the crowd of fans!!!
Your departure teaches us how helpless the stars become because of fame, scandal and money. May Almighty God give us the wisdom to consider every superstar as a human being of flesh and blood not a superhuman.
Rest in peace in the house of God.Surely we all will see you sooner or later.
