Very good article by Shobha De! 👏
Agree with her abt Indian mothers spoiling their sons rotten so they grow up with a sense of entitlement and no moral direction of right and wrong!
The scene that infuriated me the most in the movie "No One Killed Jessica" was Manu Sharma's mother standing in the background, repeating like a moron, Merey Mannu ko kuchh nahin hona chahiye"
She had no feeling for the innocent girl whom her son killed for no reason, all she wants is her son shd not be punished at any cost...threaten, bribe witnesses, kill them, bribe police, do anything but my son shd be safe, out of jail. 😡
First of all these mothers bring up their sons to be monsters, then they want to protect them from punishment after heinous crimes!
But of course its not just the blind mothers, its the morally depraved, son-obsessed fathers too!
Salim Khan said this in 2002 abt Salman beating up his girlfriend:
"Salman may have done a few things in an emotionally-charged state", he conceded.

I agree with all the posters here abt Nargis and Sanju...Sanju was a drug addict from teenage years, in his debut movie "Rocky" its quite apparent that hes a druggie.
Nargis defended and protected him all her life, after her death Sunil Dutt used his contacts and influence to keep Sanju out of jail.
I understand every parent is protective abt their child but these parents never stopped their sons from starting on a lifetime of criminal acts in the first place.
If they had been more proactive and strict with their privileged sons from childhood, perhaps they wouldnt turn out to be so prone to breaking laws and be high-profile criminals.
