Papon

"A kiss of death" is how Papon's colleagues in the music fraternity have described his act which cost the "Moh moh ke dhaage" singer dearly. In his defence, Papon says he is a "demonstrative, affectionate" man and the kiss was "fatherly". But the nation, and its favourite news anchor, are not buying this justification. The anchor was certain that the "utterly, untoward and unwanted" attention by the self-styled Papa must have bewildered the child. In India, fathers don't kiss their daughters on their lips. Mahesh Bhatt had done so with his daughter Pooja and all hell had broken loose.
