Dear Homi,
you have hurt me terribly by making #cocktail. A 2 min video will not make amends.
Kindly make a film that changes the message you gave in #cocktail.

Any publicity is a good publicity and so the video went viral with everyone having an opinion about it. Some good, some bad and finally the director had his say.
(I dont have a say;-) I am just using the video reference to make a point, which is #mychoice )
First of all lemme tell you some facts-
1. Homi Adjania- the video director is also the director of #cocktail. The most regressive movie of all times which tells you that unless you wear your hair long, dress up in salwar-suit( mind you, only till the MIL approves, remember d " main hoon hi nahi is duniya ki" song? so spaghetti and shorts, or was it a jumpsuit??( I have no fashion sense anymore) ) and are soft spoken, no smoking, no drinking.. You will end up being used like a doormat.
In his defense, that is the ground reality in India. But he could've made a progressive film just by changing the ending.
2. The video got shared on Ashton Kutcher's wall!!! OMG! Ashton (*fake excitement as if he is Brad pitt or Eric Bana) but seriously, Ashton?? women empowerment? #his choice you know kinda Demi moore, mila kunis, his choice thing. you get the point.
3. The video stars #DEEPIKA .The one woman I admire for being who she is. She always wore her heart on her sleeves. Never gave in to fake bollywood standards of "we are just friends". She gave respect and love to every relationship she was in. And that itself takes courage.
In a society that cringes when a girl says she has a boyfriend, Deepika flaunted hers for all to see. That itself gives her full right to star in the video and say #mychoice , because she has infact lived her life on the choices she made. also ending up with a permanent mark for an temporary relation.
Yes, the video says some things which one might take in literal sense. I absolutely oppose infidelity. (so I do have an opinion after all) but its time to rise above it.
#mychoice is for all the choices we make, some we will regret, some will take us far. But stand by it.
That makes me think about a new topic- The Change of surname after Marriage is also #mychoice, but for some husbands like the home possession isn't complete without 7/12, the possession of wife isn't complete without the change of surname, or they compromise with a hyphen (*cringing and pulling a dagger to my heart*)- More on it later.
