DO NOT call him Mega Star. He is way over-rated. He is in reality is glorified clown. Does not even know how to dress well!

A shameful period for India. A pilot thought his qualification was that he was the son of Indira and if he could pilot a plane, he could pilot India. Just an ego that would not tell the man that he was not right for India. And then he perpetrated the Sikh genocide and got many Indian young officers killed.
And then Big B thought he could taking his acting to the real world. It is one thing romancing and exchanging flirts with daughter-in-law and another in politics requiring a clean image.
Rajiv brought in a lot of friends and ushered in an era of instability that saw PMs come and go until Vajpayee and Narsimha Rao, friends from different sides of the isle stepped in and stabilized India. Manmohan Singh brought in by Rao was a good stop gap for the BJP to grow and bring out some great leaders after Vajpayee’s death.
