Bollywood Hot Actress Celina Jaitley says Cheerleaders can't wear saris


Cheerleaders being wrapped cricketer being slapped, Is cricket turning into a Tamasha? Bollywood reacts...
Celina Jaitley: "No I don't think cricket has become a tamasha. I think everything that's happening at the IPL is being turned into a tamasha. Sreesanth being slapped is very unfortunate. I feel that the spirit of sportsmanship which makes every sport noble is now going out of cricket. Sad.
Hema Malini: "Yes, cricket has become a big tamasha. The dignity of the game is completely lost. Cricket by itself is so engrossing. Why does it suddenly need women to cheer on the players and the public?

There's absolutely no need for such distractions. The Indian public had no clue about such entertainment (cheerleaders) before this. And now there's slapping during the game! I am shocked.

Urmila Matondkar: "I don't think cricket is turning into tamasha at all. It's just that cricket has turned more glamorous exciting and bigger. As for the cheerleaders I don't think they serve any purpose at all. We don't need to copy the West blindly."

Naseeruddin Shah: "It's been heading towards that direction for a while. But hasn't everything becoming a tamasha? Look at the daily news."

Mahesh Bhatt: "The triumph of entertainment and the death of cricket. In the desperate effort to entertain our entire existence has become grotesque.

Sonu Sood: "No I don't think so. People in this country have a tendency to overeact. Cheerleaders add glamour to the sport. So why not treat it that way?
Don't spectators enjoy the presence of these cheerleaders at football games abroad? But here there's bound to be a reaction to everything that's new. Sad. What happened to Sreesanth was not right.

I agree cricket has become more of a tamasha less of a sport lately. At least to me it's no longer exciting.

Aryan Vaid: "I've always been a huge cricket fan. Nothing can take away from its popularity. Tomorrow it may can turn into a ras leela, it won't matter. It will continue to grow in popularity.

As for the cheerleaders I don't want to play a spoil sport. But I don't understand the need for so much flesh display. The IPL is a tamasha. And that's what sells. Ask Rakhi Sawant and Mika about it ha ha.

Chitrangda: "I really feel it's more a tamasha than a sport. All I hear are numbers involved in the money-spinning market. I miss the real sport, the real use of talent and the genuine intention of the sport. I'm afraid it's being played for the love of the money and not the game."

Kushal Punjabi: "Firstly this is hardly cricket. T20 is a completely new format. All the rules have been changed, so why not go the whole hog and make it a fun-filled event with cheerleaders, celebrities, the works?

As for the slap, fights happen in every sport. So let's not get carried away. Let's just enjoy the tamasha and let's be entertained. We are an entertainment-crazy people.

Muzzamil Ibrahim: "I've played cricket under 16 and on national level. Cricket per se incites passion. No need for cheerleaders and other props to set the pulse running. It has to be some non-cricketers who have turned into a money-making circus.

Ashish Chowdhary: "Well cricket is meant to be entertainment for all. And cheerleaders are a fun part of it. We don't need to ape the West. But it's entirely up to the organizers what elements they want to bring in.

But please let's not bring in the moral police. There's more nudity happening on tv. We get offended in the country for the silliest of reasons. As for Sreesanth's slap it's a matter between two team mates.

They's understand their bonding better than any of us. If Sree complains it should be looked into. If he doesn't we need to mind our own business. Emotions always run hight during sports events.. If cricket has become a tamasha I love every bit of it.

Samir Soni: "Certain frills might have been added to the cricket format to broaden the fan base. But that apart the game continues to be intensely engaging.The slapping incident is unfortunate.

But such things happen in any sport so why single out cricket? About the cheerleaders the less said the better. Cricket being big in our country everything about it gets blown out of proportion.

Prakash Jha: "Ha ha. Market pressures will turn everything into a tamasha. There's much more of it coming up."

Riya Sen: "Cricket as a game has a huge credibility attached to it. Some peculiar situations may arise. But nothing can take away from its charm."

Tusshar Kapoor: "Everything is turned into media entertainment these days. With so many channels on the air the appetite for controversy is insatiable."

Koena Mitra: "The slapping on the field was an ugly situation not expected from a sportsman. But I'm sure this incident is just an isolated one.The Indian team has such unity it's impossible for them to fight with one another.

As for the cheerleaders, they can't be dressed in sarees on the field. Come on! Some politicians are again wasting their time fighting a bogus issue.

Rohit Roy:"Well T20 is meant to be a tamasha kind of cricket in any case. It's the perfect blend of cricket and entertainment with Bollywood ka tadka.Quite like the baseball games in America.

The incident between Bhajji and Sree, however unfortunate, proves that cricketers are not taking the game lightly. I'm hosting the Jaipur leg of the tournament.

I've seen the matches from close quarters. Let me tell you they're fought tooth and nail. As for censoring the cheerleaders, that's another example of moral hypocrisy that exists in oir country.

Neetu Chandra: "No I don't think it's a tamasha at all. Rather it's a celebration of cricket and I'm sure the ILP will be like the Olympics of cricket.

It's amazing to see so many professionals apart from sports persons making the IPL happen. I hope everyone puts aside personal issues. Because the whole world is watching India."
