Mumbai Feb 24 (IANS) Celebrities like Raveena Tandon and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi have come out against Papon after a video emerged of the singer inappropriately kissing a minor girl.
The shocked celebrities feel that it s disgusting and shameful and that the singer should be arrested.
Raveena Tandon: Disgusting! Shameful! Perverse! This man Papon should be arrested ! The girl s parents succumbing to pressure! The explanations given are ridiculous! Haven t felt such anger and shame to see this happen and some on tv debates actually defending the act.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi: If anybody behaved with my daughter the way Papon did with the teenage girl I would slap him several times in such a way that no one dared behave that way again.
Gauahar Khan: Wasn t smothering a child s face with your palm rubbing colour all over it for four seconds enough as fatherly love that you had to pull the child s face then to strategically peck her on the lip. There was no wrong camera angle or the child moving her face mistakenly.
Ashoke Pandit: Papon body language and his brash attitude while abusing the child is a sign of arrogance and complete disregard for the law. This is a benchmark trait of every powerful sexual predator.
