It's Aamir Vs Amitabh Vs Anurag...
Amitabh Bachchan hitting out at Union Health Minister A Ramadoss on the minister's anti-alcohol/smoking lament against him and the B-Town junta on his blog. Aamir Khan justifying his stand on carrying the Olympic torch despite anti-China protests. Shah Rukh Khan taking digs at Pepsi's rival brand Coca Cola and Preity Zinta on the Knight Riders website. These are perhaps just three of the many instances of stars using the internet to make themselves heard, defend their actions and settle personal scores.
The internet as a medium may have been around for quite some time now. But it was not until very recently that its power has dawned upon the B'wood junta.
True Shah Rukh Khan was one of the earliest entrants into this space when he launched srkworld.com almost a decade and a half ago. But the site has been languishing ever since the dotcom bubble burst. During the release of his film Don, he promised to revive it. We are yet to see the promise being kept.
But with Amitabh Bachchan now using bigadda as his blogpace, Shah Rukh is not the one to be left behind. The King Khan's blog is much publicised and awaited on his Knight Riders website.
Khan is of course making the most of this opportunity. Even though he hasn't been blogging, Shah Rukh has authored some 'Hoog-Leeisms', ie pearls of wisdom from Riders' mascot Hoog Lee. One of the comic strips on the site even takes a dig at Preity Zinta's lack of cricketing knowledge as her caricature says, "David Beckham is my favourite batsman!"
