Shiny Ahuja- Innocent or ....

In a court of Law, every man or woman is "presumed innocent, until proven guilty."

So what have we already done to Shiny Ahuja? Labeling him a 'rapist', never mind what his line of defence might be.

I recall him as the 'new' actor who made a mark in fairly meaningful films such as Gangster, Woh Lamhe and more recently, Zindagi Rocks, standing out by sheer virtue of his softspoken, yet intense personality.In fact, I even saw Zindagi Rocks thrice, because I 'so' loved his acting!

And followed his acting career, looking forward to more of his films.

Then I saw him on the television news last night.
Correction, saw a 'part of him' last evening.
First, with that horrible black hood the cops put on certain people.

Then, saw him cowering on the floor.. Hiding from the harsh camera lights as they mercilessly tried to catch him.
Looking absolutely broken, defeated...and.....

It was a really bad moment. For so much.... likely to have finished.Over.
For I'm convinced that life for Shiny Ahuja will never be the same again
