Sapna Bhavnani is a force to be deemed with. Her words are as powerful as her personality and rightly so because she never fails to make a point. She has always stood and spoken against what’s wrong and it’s this very attitude that makes her one of the most celebrated women in India.
Sapna Bhavnani, the popular Indian celebrity hair stylist has once again won hearts. She stood for something that was much needed. The stylist in her recent interview with a daily newspaper spoke her mind about SALMAN KHAN, RAPE, BIGG BOSS, and her upcoming book ‘One Chapter’. We thank Sapna for taking a step ahead and for making some genuine points. She has always spoken against what’s wrong. People in a country like India usually don’t do that. They generally say what they hear without having an opinion of their own. She has always been vocal about her dislike for the actor and this time here is what the popular stylist said.
Why the ‘Bhai of Bollywood’ makes no difference to her life?
“This man really misuses people and I don’t have to give him importance…especially in my book.”
And here she makes a valid point:
“It’s insulting to have an Indian man talk like that on an international platform. I am embarrassed to call myself an Indian when statements like these go out worldwide. I was very vocal about it on Twitter, and everywhere. I got a lot of flak for it, but flak or stalkers and trollers should not be the reason why you should stop voicing the truth. It’s (comments on Twitter) insane, if you read some of the crap that was written… you’d know. Before I started blocking them, I was reporting them to Twitter, my point is to get them off Twitter, but when twitter was also not taking necessary action, I had to block them, because I couldn’t let them affect my mental health. These guys are hired by the Khan and political parties… these people have zero followers, but everyday they come to slam you.”
Sapna courageously talks about her gangrape yet refuses to define her life by that one tragic incident. Here’s why she didn’t write about it in her memoir:
“I still don’t know, if I have the guts to talk about my rape, but I can start a new chapter one of my life once it (rape) is out of the system, so there will be a chapter on that too. Being strong doesn’t mean you can’t cry. Just because you are strong you can’t cry, you can’t heal… it’s a phase of healing, which you can’t have. That’s a wrong notion about being strong… they say you are a man you can’t cry, that’s not correct. And this strong woman image that I have, has been a curse in many ways. This is where I want to speak, this is the wrong notion of strength because people think if you are strong you can’t do this.”
As far as Bigg Boss is concerned, she says, “it was an out-and-out “f***-all experience”:
“You have a male chauvinistic f***ing pig as a host of this f***ing show, that insults people, so people watch the show, and people worship him on the show because people want a job in one f his stupid f***-all movies where he dances like a monkey – that’s Bigg Boss in a nutshell.”
She seemed very excited about her literary debut, published by Harper Collins:
“I wrote chapter one and it was so good I could not do chapter two.. isn’t that life? You are always trying to complete one thing in life and then you move on to the next. So this book is going to be about all the chapter ones in life, everything is a new beginning. People ask me if it is going to be non-fiction or fiction, but, ‘if you can’t tell, I am not telling’.”
Here’s wishing this powerful women all the luck for her book.
More power to you Sapna Bhavnani. Bravo J
