Vir Das And Kangana - We Need Them Both - by Shobhaa De
His message was incontrovertibly positive as he urged us all to turn our backs on hate and haters. Is that a crime? If it is seen as one, then all that he talked about acquires instant validity. Jai Hind!

Opinion: Jai Bhim - Leave A Good Movie Alone, Folks
