Now Amitabh - Aamir 'War' Erupts ... Frankly, I'm Bored!

Ho hum dahlings. I've seen so many of these so-called 'Star Wars' over the years, they've begun to bore me. Barely has the Bachchan - Shah Rukh died down (or has it, now?) that AB has trained his guns at yet another Khan. Aamir this time. And the cause of his ire is a statement by the outspoken (always around release time dearies, always around release time) Aamir in a recent interview on why he didn't like Black; how he thought it was 'over the top'; how he didn't agree with Rani's voiceover when the movie starts ("How can a deaf, blind, dumb person from birth have a V/O?") and how it was insensitive to a child ("Much like making a bear dance!"). Well, it did anger one ol' bear enough to come out charging and lashing out at Aamir.
AB has responded in an interview stating, "Yes, Black must've been 'over the top for Aamir ... it went over the top of his head!" He also referred to AK's films with similar subjects on disabilities like Fanaa saying that in that case those were insensitive too.
Now Aamir is seeking an appointment with angry Amit to clear the air. But hey, guess what dahlings? At the end of the day, the media's had a feast, the warring parties have shaken hands and the stars' in question have got extra large chunks of free publicity. So everyone's happy, eh? Except one person ... ME! Frankly darlings, I'm bored. How about some 'real' stories now huh?
PS: While on the topic, it does amaze me how easy it has become to 'bait' our dear Amit. All one has to do is give one quote here or there and hey presto, he responds true to form. maybe he should just ignore the 'baiters', that way they get no publicity and that's best punishment na? Write in and tell me what you think of this whole drama? Your opinion matters. To them too!
