Privacy

 Privacy is indeed everybody's birthright. Nobody, absolutely nobody, for whatsoever reason it could be, has the right to invade anyone else's privacy. That is the given of basic decency, however weirdly curious you might be.

In a way, however, technology has absolutely taken away our privacy. Everything we may or may not do leaves an eternal, never to be effaced trace in that anonymous, and autonomous, too, web. We are Abhimanyu's in a way, with no chance or way of disentangling ourselves out of this web! As the AI becomes finer, such complications are going to grow more complex!

As for film stars, however, most often than not, their call for privacy appears either a "fukkat ka" publicity stunt, dramebazi, and a PR job. If an actress, for instance, wants total privacy for her kid, why did she for nine long boring months flaunt her pregnancy, her dangerous exercise regime, her revealing maternity suits, and so on, and so on?

 When it suited her so that she can thus mint money, it was okay to feed the public hunger and public madness/craze in the 'public' space (,and, it suited the private sphere of her-'self', too!)! Rather weird and quite duplicitous! In fact, it is the celebrity stunts that make regular, daily lives of non-celebrity women difficult because the show-off-ism of film stars feeds in to gossip columns and breeds weird curiosity about every woman!
