Saif and His Life..!
A very talented actor the son of an equally talented former cricketer who’s having an affair with an actress nearly half his age, remarks to a journalist when questioned about his bohemian life style; “It’s my life!”
Sure it was Mr Actor, sure it was!
But the day you got married, not to this cute young thing, not to the one before this young thing, but the one who bore you two children, then it also became their life!
You get what I mean?
You don’t!
Ah well! I guess with reel life and real life getting so entwined and entangled you’ve also forgotten whether you’re following a script or you’re writing the story? The story is the same sir!
You know those two lil’ bambinos you brought into the world, one a son and the other a daughter, well I guess you brought them to share your life didn’t you? You wanted to be a father, to enjoy the joys of parenting, which my dear actor is not just taking them for a two- month holiday to Mauritius or Hawaii or Mauritius and Hawaii with London thrown in.
Oh no, you don’t need a father to do that, why sir, you could hire a male nanny, or travel agent who would do an equally good job if not even better with no cigarette smoke from your chain smoking cigars entering your children’s lungs all the time!
Mr Actor you need to be a role model to be a father!
“Dad lets play ball!”
“Not now children!”
“Why dad do you have a woman in your room?”
“Don’t speak like that, didn’t I play ball with both of you on the beach?”
“Yes dad, while you were eyeballing those bikini clad girls playing beach ball!”
And a few years later Mr Actor, you’re called by distraught mother of both your children to accompany her to school:
“What’s the problem teacher?”
“Your son was caught copying in his exams!”
“My son! Impossible! I’ve always inculcated ethics and values into his life, never, never cheat!”
“What were you doing while you were teaching him all this ethical stuff sir?”
“What was I doing?”
“He was cheating on me!” whispers distraught mother and former wife.
“And while we’re at it,” says the teacher, “your daughter lacks confidence!”
“She what?” shouts the actor, “But I am the most confident man in the world!”
“Ah yes sir, but does the most confident man in the world have time everyday to build confidence into his little children?”
Go back Mr Actor, go back to your running round trees and seducing actresses half your age, but as you make comments that ‘its your life,’ remember, ‘it’s their death..!’
