So what's so special about Mallika baby opening a store?I racked my brain cells but couldnt come up with even one reaosn why she would make "good television" (can almost see those male eyes doing the snigger). But was told otherwise by my boss and as one of my collegues is ever so eager to point out "boss is always right". I grudgingly had to accept to do the shoot.
So I ventured into the crowded Dadar market place where the clever shopowners had put up a huge hoarding announcing that "Mallika Sherawat would be coming here at 12 noon". So what followed next was chaos as the entrance was blocked by fans and curious onlookers.My cameraman and I were quietly wondering how would be able to get a good frame to get Sherawat maam's bite. But I didnt have to mull over this a lot coz, the melee of the media and the store's "big" sized family ensured that we would not get exclusive bites, and we would have to, as is known in television parlance settle for a "junta bite". And we were so lucky to get the haryanvi lady giving her two bit of "how great it felt opening a store(try figuring that one.
What ensued next was a boycott from most of the TV crews, as I called boss he told me that I had to file a story.
And what do you know the story played whole of next day's bulletin..so maybe Mallika Sherawat does make good television!first published:December 26, 2005, 11:12 ISTlast updated:December 26, 2005, 11:12 IST
