Two left feet

Published April 22, 2012

We must celebrate Ali Zafar’s success in Bollywood. However, the singer/actor should also understand that he doesn’t get dazzled by the glitz and glamour that the Indian film industry throws at him and start becoming choosy. He should know his strengths and weaknesses.

Nowadays Ali Z is being seen on virtually every award function in India. Nothing wrong with that. But his recent appearance at a beauty pageant exposed his ability to dance. One should not do something that one can’t. Simple as that. Come to think of it, if every star starts following this dictum, the industry will be devoid of performers. So keep going, Ali Z.
