Waheeda asks for better policing
Stating that “people are losing their values”, legendary actress Waheeda Rehman suggested that the policemen be taught proper values to properly deal with rising incidents of crime against women. She also slammed the theory that the influx of people of other states into Maharashtra is linked to the rise of such incidents. “I cannot believe that. Men are men. People are people. Outsiders, insiders do not make a difference. People are losing senses and their values,” Waheeda said.
A 22-year-old photojournalist working for an English magazine was raped allegedly by five men in Mumbai's Shakti Mills compound Thursday. “Bombay used to be the safest city... it is now becoming very scary, very bad,” said Waheeda, 77, adding, “I think policing needs to be increased and they also need to be taught proper values and duties.”
I didn't think that I wanted to be an actor and actually I really wanted to do something different. I thought if I would become an actor, every one would compare me to my brother and mother and say that she chose the easy way.
