Aspiring Bollywood actor Gehna Vashisht assaulted
The girl faced the ire of a bunch of social activists recently because of her controversial photo shoot. It seems that she she draped the Indian flag around her waist and teamed it up with a bikini
Beaten by a mob of 20-25 people, Gehna was accused of disrespecting the Indian national flag. Raising the hackles of the masses, the actor had to pay quite a huge price for opting for a flag as a part of her ensemble. Actor-cricket anchor Mandira Bedi has also grabbed eyeballs in the past for choosing to wear a sari that had the Indian national flag imprinted on it. Although Bedi didn’t have to experience something so ruthless, fortunately for her, she did attract a lot of flak for her style statement.
When we spotted a picture of an injured Gehna facing the cameras with a dejected look on her face, we wondered if the people who did this to her have been arrested yet. If not, Gehna simply has to wait till justice prevails, we guess!

Incidents like these show how backward India is. Indian society is no different from hardcore islamic fundamental societies even though many Indians dont like to admit it.
If a group of people dont like something, they believe they should ban something or beat up somebody because they think they know better. India is right a third world, slum country littered with illiterate and uncivilized goons.

Someone does something you don’t like? Beat them up.
Someone says something you don’t like? Beat them up.
Someone worship a god you don’t like? Beat them up.
We’ve had the first two steps, I’m just waiting for the third to complete the mob rule that is destroying India.

This is rubbish, nonsense. Cant they get a simple point that Indian Flag is not made to use as bikini. This is injustice to the nation. She should be punished for this.

It was wrong on the part of the actress to drape National flag like that which itself was an big insult.Our soldiers sacrifice their life for Our national flag and these morons keep on insulting our flag as if it is an ordinary clothes.Mob should not have attacked,they should have made police complain,violence is not the solution for every problem.

This is sheer nonsense. Not that I agree with what she did, but I am sick and tired of this stupid moral policing done by every tom, dick and harry in India. Just because, you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean you can physically abuse someone ( either man/woman). The people who did this must suffer the consequences,and in an extreme way at that. No one should get away with the silly excuse of protecting the integrity of the flag.

what makes you think that these so called patriots are having any respect for indian flag. most probably they are on rolls of the media group which organises such cheap publicity gimmicks for both the politician and the upstarts of bollywood. of late we see many such orchestrated tv news which just bring to our notice the name ;of course with bit of shock,violence,sex and cheap stunts the political group and the upstart bollywood actors. i am always surprised at the presence of tv cameraman at such places . they must be having divine vision like sanjay of mahabharata who narrated the live telecast of the battle to the blind dhritrashtra. hope we dont end up becoming blind tv watchers who see only what is shown and not what is to be observed

Prakash….
Not only her… Anyone who do like this will be treated in the same way or even worst. Its India’s National flag. India is my Motherland… I don’t know how about you…
Anything related to mother and motherland is divine for me…You will not rubbish that.
Probably you don’t know how a soldier protect the integrity of the flag… Its not silly. Its not only the responsibility of a soldier, every Indian should protect it.
