Did Preity take a right step by standing against Ness Wadia?


Preity Zinta has filed a complaint against Ness Wadia stating that she was molested, threatened and abused by Ness inside the Wankhede stadium. The case is registered under IPC section 354 that is outraging the modesty of woman. People from all the sections are discussing about the case. The weirdest reaction is coming from the film industry and so called Preity Zinta’s friends who are neutral on the case. As of now, no one knows the truth. Here, it is necessary to discuss Did Preity take a right step by standing against Ness Wadia?

Yes

• A woman has a distinct character and modesty that cannot be challenged by anyone in any case, no matter how rich or powerful you are.

• Women always look on for examples that can really encourage them to take their stand against the wrong. Preity should stand strong to set the example.

• Many people are arguing that it is a personal matter, but a matter or abusive words once open in the public space, cannot be called personal.

• It cannot be called publicity stunt as there is nothing for Preity Zinta to gain from this case. It is standing against a powerful and rich personality.

• No one should forget the brave stand that Preity Zinta took in the Bharat Shah case. She even received ‘Godfrey’s Mind of Steel Award’ for the exceptional act.

No

• It is a case that is just wasting the people’s time. It is more of a publicity stunt after the end of IPL.

• The actual event happened on May 30 and Preity reported the case on June 13. What was Preity doing for all these thirteen days?

• If Preity was really hurt and she considered the case so important then why did she left the country at such a crucial time?

• Preity Zinta has just filed the case and she is not even accessible on the phone. This brings the case in doubt.

• Preity Zinta alleged that Ness behavior is the repetition and nothing new. If it is true then what took her so long to file the case against her ex-boyfriend?

Conclusion

The big crimes against women start from little acts like whistling and calling names. It is the start of the humiliation of women that further leads to cases like Nirbhaya. At this time, no one knows who is right or who is wrong. But one thing remains crystal clear. If Preity Zinta makes an out of court settlement with Ness Wadia then it will not be her defeat but defeat of all the women. If she is right then she should stand strong and fight the case till the end.

  • As no one is aware of the actual happening, the case revolves around ‘its and buts’. If at all Preity’s allegations are true, she should fight the battle till the end. It does not matter whether the accused is rich or poor, or having any strong background with respect to caste, creed, religion or any political or fan support, the accused remains the accused, and is punishable as per the law.

    Standing against Ness Wadia is definitely correct and appreciable in case Preity takes the case till its destiny and faces the whole scenario with a brave and confident outlook. Backing out in any step will be a huge set-back not just for Preity, but for the complete women community.

    The case is still in a dilemma as Preity delayed filing the complaint. This is not necessarily a point to hold her wrong, but that certainly leaves a question mark regarding the truth. The matter is not transparent, and every issue that has a hidden picture remains the hot topic of debate till the concern gets settled and that always leaves back its scar in the form of memories in the minds of millions, especially for a public figure like Preity who has a huge fan club to follow.
