Action hero

A recent episode involving a film star which made news. the thing is so funny.

1. Hero beats up wife and burns her with cigarette butts.
2. The badly battered wife files a police complaint.
3. Film industry elders prevails on her to withdraw the complaint in the 'interest of the family and child'.
4. Wife does a somersault and says she tumbled down a few steps and sustained the injuries.
5. Film producers association rushes to ban our hero's alleged girl friend, also a film star, from the inudstry for 3 years.
6. Hero lands up in a hospital with asthma and jaundice even before he can step into the jail.

Sure facts are stranger than ficiton. If you just narrated the whole thing to me I'd think that it is the story line of the latest tear-jerker serial on TV! Wonder if the film fraternity 'elders' would do the same if this happened to their daughters? May be yes, after all. Tradition and family honor is upto the woman to keep, while man simply upholds the same by beating his wife. If you take a sample, may be 50% women will respond that their husbands have the right to beat them up. May be that's how the term action hero came about after all.
