what do men want?

AFTER A POINT OF TIME, MEN SEEM TO LOSE INTEREST IN WOMEN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD LOOKING OR TALENTED.


For decades now men have been wondering aloud ‘what do women want?’. But it seems like it’s time women ask them the same. Nothing seems to satisfy the fastidious tastes, wandering mind and roving eyes of a man after a period of time.

He can have a stunner like Bipasha Basu for a girlfriend, but for John Abraham she is too headstrong and he complains that they argue a lot. Rumour mills now churn out stories of how he allegedly runs away from commitment (and also from a besotted Bips) because he wants to keep ‘options open.’ Same seems to be the fate of talented, gorgeous women who are ‘happily’ married and take everything in their stride, with beaming faces and brilliant smiles. It’s not so much about roving eyes as it is about the ‘who cares’ attitude. So what if she is a talented artiste who manages to ooze oomph even after a baby, and continue to bag covetable lead roles? Seemingly, it takes a little more than all that for Kajol to win hubby Ajay Devegan’s appreciation and acknowledgement. While she is seen with him everywhere, from the music launch of his movies to his press conferences, Ajay is hardly ever there to acknowledge her success publicly. Kajol’s answer to this would be the predictable, ‘He’s an extremely private person...’. Could be. But in a recent interview he reportedly said he had no desire to act opposite Kajol as no husband and wife really share the same passion. Even a talented and pretty woman like Twinkle Khanna is not enough for an Akshay Kumar who allegedly runs astray every time he comes across the Priyanka Chopras of the world!

this is an article i read in the local news paper here!

I'm not sure what this article is even insinuating.. That Ajay is no longer interested in Kajol? Hmm. If they never star in a film together, I don't care, really.

The article sounds like hearsay, though, nothing to be taken seriously or considered deeply. What do we really know about the lives of Kajol and Ajay? I don't feel comfortable speculating their relationship or the state of their marriage. Both have stable careers (now I just wish Kajol would continue hers!) and they seem very happy.

Thanks for posting, though, michelle.. It shows, IMO, the kind of journalism you see all around the globe and indeed also in India. Rumours printed as newsitems.

We should rename this thread "What do journos want?" They never seem to be satisified with stable relationships. They always seem to want to manufacture drama. I guess that's the only way to draw some readers whose lives are so barren they must live through someone else. Me, I'm delighted that Ajay and Kajol have such a nice relationship. He's "never there"? Huh, so she goes home to an empty house. I have a feeling he's ALWAYS there, just not on public display. You can laugh at me if they split a few years down the road, but I don't take his lack of public display as trouble at all. Maybe he wants to give her the limelight alone. For one thing, he's a major star in his own right. Sharing her limelight might look like fear that he won't have any of his own. But he already has two national awards. Seems to me he doesnt need to bask in reflected glory of his wife.
