Letter to the Hoot – questions were poor

IN Opinion | 22/12/2004

I was rather surprised to see the quality of questions that were put forth to Mr. Aakar Patel. I am unaware of the circumstances under which these questions were asked, but i am definitely disappointed at the outcome.  

For example, ".Does Kareena Kapoor`s love life really have anything to do with serving the country`s public interest?"   I dont think there was any such issue at any point of time. I wonder where "public interest" came into the picture. Its a rather naive query.  

"If you wanted to expose indecency are you not committing an indecency while doing so?"  Whatever gave you the idea that Mid-Day was trying to `expose indecency`.... where did this question come from? 

I feel that these questions were rather amateurish and naive and reflects poorly on the responsible and mature portal that THE HOOT is.  Instead, Mr. Patel should`ve been asked the basic purpose behind putting those pictures on the front page , next to the masthead...that could`ve evoked an interesting response.
