We believe Meera that the video which recently went viral on the internet is an attempt to malign her. So it was wise of her to appear on a TV talk show and clear the air. Though she did sound a bit reluctant on the marriage issue, she was clear-as-day on the subject of the vile video.

It seems that Meera has come of age and those of us who often made fun of her immature and somewhat rookie attitude to life will now agree that Meera knows how to clarify a situation. She did successfully manage to tell us that videos can be faked and the world we live in can sometimes fool us with make-believe gimmicks.

Have I said too much in Meera’s support?
