Bollywood has expressed shock and anger at the photographs of Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur allegedly kissing in public, which dominated major news channels and newspapers.
Kareena and Shahid were filmed in intimate positions, a daily tabloid said adding they were shot in a party in a restaurant in Mumbai. Both, however, have denied the reports.
Though there's a general dismay about the incident in the film industry, the paper Mid-Day, which carried the pictures, stands by them and has resolved to fight the legal battle to the end. "I haven't seen it. If you allow yourself in the photograph, there's no fault of media," said mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan .
Actress and parliamentarian Jayaprada said, "It is not right to take the youth of the nation in this direction. I know that Kareena is not such a girl. So, whatever she is saying, I believe in that. She cannot be like that."
Actor-turned- parliamentarian Govinda said the photographs were violation of an individual's privacy. "It is related to women's respect. If some girl does it by her own wish, it is wrong but if someone tries to harm someone else's respect, it is wrong and immoral," he said.
Meanwhile, Kareena has sued Mid-Day, saying that neither she nor Shahid were present in the said restaurant at the time.
