A
word shot off the mouth is like a stone
from a sling. That’s why it’s imperative
to carefully choose you words before you
pull the trigger. Once fired, these words
can be interpreted in different ways.
Our esteemed celebs from Tinsel town have
a habit of shooting from the lip. Often,
they end up biting the bullet. Nevertheless,
these verbal missiles make great headlines.
Let’s roll back the clock and unravel some
of the crispy quotes of 2008. That’s not
all; we’ve got Miya Moohphat to comment
on every quote.
Miya Moohphat brooks no malice to anyone.
So enjoy this for its flavour and its spirit.

Amarr
Upadhyay
“Before
Rajeev, it was me who broke the jinx
for television actors”
Said Amarr
Upadhyay when told that
Rajeev Khandelwal has led the way
for other TV actors with the success
of Aamir.
Miya Moohphat
says, “Couldn’t agree with you more
Amarr. During that period, you were
the first television superstar to
break from the small screen and move
to films. But huzoor, unlike
Rajeev, we’re still waiting for that
elusive big hit from you.”

Rahul
Mahajan
“Through
Bigg Boss, I’ve come out clean
and no longer does anyone think of
me as a wife beater.”
Said Rahul
Mahajan in response to
being asked why his marriage failed.
Rahul’s ex-wife Shweta had accused
him of physical abuse.
Miya Moohphat,
“Ho ho ho ho! So how did the scars
on Shweta’s body come about?”

Sonal
Sehgal
“TV
actors mainly work to pay off their
bills”
So said former TV
actor and Bollywood bound Sonal
Sehgal when reflecting
on the ills of television.
Miya Moohphat
says, “Oye kudiye, tussi bahot
sahi gal kitti hai. However, it’s
a different matter that your first
film Aashayein, starring John
Abraham, is yet to take off. However,
you did impress with your cameo in
Ghajini. I’m sure the money
that you got from it was enough to
pay your bills.”

Smriti
Iraani
“It
was a God send opportunity”
These were the words
that Smriti Iraani reportedly used
on describing her return to Kyunki
saas bhi kabhi bahu thi.
Miya Moohphat says,
“My dear Tulsi, I couldn’t agree with
you more. It was God who brought you
back in Kyunki…. However the
very same God also connived to wield
the timely axe on Kyunki….
But all’s well that ends well and
hence the end of the show spelt bliss
for all couch potatoes who were burdened
by the painful and the customary viewing
of Kyunki..

Sanjay
Nirupam
“Bigg
Boss will do more harm to my political
career”
Congress spokesperson
Sanjay
Nirupam responded to a
query on how an appearance in Bigg
Boss would benefit his political
career.
Miya Moohphat
says, “Ahhhh! Was Nirupam ever part
of Indian politics?

Sajid
Khan
“If
I were gay, I wouldn't be ashamed
of myself.”
Sajid
Khan defended himself after
semi nude pictures of Riteish Deshmukh
and him cozying up to each other in
a towel were flashed across all channels,
newspaper and magazines. Inevitably,
Sajid vehemently denied these tales
but not before remarking that even
if he was gay he wouldn’t be ashamed
of himself.
Miya Moohphat
says, “Hmm! I like such liberal minded
people. However, why is it that both
Riteish and you are still single?”

Zulfi
Syed
“Rahul
Mahajan used to swear by the Gods
and yet lie.”
A dejected Zulfi
Syed raised this point
while hitting out against fellow Bigg
Boss contestant Rahul Mahajan
Miya
Moohphat says, “Zulfi miya
ab bagawat karke kya fida. Besides,
speaking the truth didn’t enable you
to win Bigg Boss. Please remember
nice guys often finish last."

Aman
Verma
"I
would love to portray the role of
a woman or maybe even a gay character.
That's the only thing left for me
to do on television"
A then idle Aman
Verma revealed his secret
desire.
Miya Moohphat
says, "Secret? Well, after the
casting couch controversy, we thought
Aman had put all his desires to rest."

Raja
Chaudhary
“When
Abhishek Bachchan came to the house,
he took me in a corner and explained
the Guru mantra to me, ‘jab log
tumhari burai karne lage toh samjho
tarraki kar rahe ho. I followed
that mantra and reached the finals.”
Said
Raja
Chaudhary on being quizzed
whether he played dirty politics during
his stay in Bigg Boss.
Miya
Moohphat says, “Arre Rajaji,
lagta hai Abhishek ka filmy gyaan
ka tum par kaafi asar pada hai.
That explains why you went on a binge,
messed with people on the streets
and landed yourself into jail and
finally under rehab center. But I
don’t blame you for it. After all
you were blindly following your Guru’s
words. If anyone is at fault then
its AB.”
