'Cricketers are no different from prostitutes' - Mahesh Bhatt

Whats he smokin ???? No seriously..I've seen guys on crack make more sense than him. This is the excerpt from Indiafm -

Says a character in Jannat, "Dekhiye Sir. Cricketers aur prostitutes ke beech zyada farq nahin hota. Donon ki jawani khatm to kahani khatm."

In fact producer Mahesh Bhatt is supremely gung-ho about this latest eyebrow-raising tryst with controversy. "Yes, those are the exact words in Jannat. And what's wrong with that? If you think about it, we're all prostitutes. And at least they deliver what they promise. I'm no different from a prostitute. I too am a pleasure peddler. And please, I'd rather be a prostitute than a saint," says the eternal celluloid renegade who has earlier whipped up a frenzy of controversies in movies like Arth, Zakhm and Woh Lamhe.


Ok Sir...I can agree on the fact that YOU are a prostitute, but that doesn't make all of us prostitutes. And what do you mean by saying that you would rather be a pros than a saint..well you aren't a saint for one, so that surely makes ur a pros according to your words...And how does the sentence "Donon ki jawani khatam to kahani khatam" which is for prostitute business relate to CRICKET !!!! In this world that applies to everything, living and non living things...every THING loses its charm once its old...why just cricket !!! So according to Mr. Butt the whole world is filled with prostitutes...or better than that...the whole WORLD is a prostitute...

...why are you smokin!! Mahesh Bhatt says things for precisely this kind of shock effect. Thats just the way he is!
"Donon ki jawani khatam to kahani khatam" is rather silly but Mahesh's grouse against saints is very understandable. He is saying that at least prostitutes are honest in that they take money and deliver goods in a mutual transaction. Many so-called saints feed of off human misery and desperation, which perhaps is less clean a living....
I love your emphatic ending though: the whole WORLD is a prostitute! Who, pray tell, is the john?...or lets ask Mahesh that!

yeah...i never trust saints, the so called closest people to God. But his comparison of cricketers is jus plain stupid.
