Not many have it in them to call spade a spade the way writer-socialite Shobha De does. Never does she flinch to pass a snide remark on anything (or anyone) controversial or even celebrated.
A week back, Hema Malini’s Tweet criticizing Pratyusha Banerjee’s suicide was taken in a negative light by many. Shobha De too expressed her disappointment, specially with Hema being the mother of two daughters.

Here’s what Shobha wrote:
”I am so disappointed with Hema Malini. What is she saying? When I read her utterly insensitive comment about a tragedy that has shaken the brittle world of showbiz, I asked myself, “Is that a mother talking?”
Hema has two young daughters. She is a grand-mother. Surely, she has gone through some serious problems when her girls were growing up, trying to make something of their lives, waiting for the big Bollywood breaks to come along?”
”Hema must have had her share of anxiety when the girls started dating, fell in love, dealt with disappointment and heartbreak? Perhaps, they were let down by people they trusted? Knowing what an involved and loving mother Hema has always been to her girls, she must have spent hours and days absorbing their stories, vicariously living their pain.”
