I wish someone would do a book on a century of scandals and scams in India.
It can begin with the love child of the first Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Tabtrik woman Shardha Mata and may even have stories that link Motilal Nehru with Jaddanbai’s mother (I think Duleepa Bai) and Jaddanbai’s union leader brother’s claims that he was Jawaharlal Nehru’s half brother!
The firstever scam in a free India – was it Mundhra scandal or Jeeps scam? – can figure in it.
It can have stories of how Devika Rani eloped with her English lover, how Kamini Kaushal’s husband chased Dilip Kumar with a gun for seducing his wife, an all correct Shobhna Samrath (Kajol’s grand mother with a Sita like image) and her relationship with Motilal and innuendo about Nutan being his daughter…
to
a politically correct Aamir Khan’s love child…
Salman Khan’s midnight knocks on the doors of Aishwarya Rai, telephonic abuses and physical assaults on her…
How Priyanka Chopra has almost broken the marriage of Shah Rukh Khan…
Why Sanjay Dutt couldn’t marry Tina Munin and Madhuri Dixit and instead ended up with Maanyata…
The scams involving Vadra, the Prime Minister, 2G, Coalgate, Radia tapes scam that muddied the names of Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghavi…
I am one of the very few who can do it. I have had my ears to the ground.
I’d do it if I wasn’t alteady working on my next novel 🙂

That Imran Khan won from the areas that were considered strongholds of Taliban should have been enough for the red light to appear but our connections-obsesed celebrities didn’t give a damn. They were thrilled to find their ‘friend’ Imran Khan strengthening his hold in Pakistan and welcomed it.
Now, his man nominated Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Pervaiz Khattak has openly invited Taliban for peace talk and said they should also play their role to ensure peace in the province.
He has said that they do not feel any hostility with Taliban and are ready for talks with them.
