One must appreciate the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bhaduri and Shahrukh Khan for feeling strongly about the rape case that happened in Delhi a few weeks back. It proves their legendary statuses. They are such big names that even if they hadn’t commented on the issue, nobody would have noticed because it was thought to be an issue not related to their domain. But they made it a point that they showed solidarity with the poor girl’s family. Jaya Bhaduri even apologised to them for not speaking on time. SRK uttered the words, “I’m sorry I’m a man.” And Amitabh Bachchan wrote a poem on the tragedy.
