What kind of journalism is this?

Is there nothing more important in our lives than the quality of catwalks at fashion shows? Or the “lack” of modelling stars?
Ms. Triya Gulati, please try to understand that there are matters of much more importance in this nation of 1.5 billion people. The quality of ramp-walks or modelling are not really a matter of concern to the average Indian. It may be of concern to Karan Johar and others of his ilk, who think someone walking the ramp for a designer is suited to work in films.

When models start transitioning into films, we get typical Bollywood masala films – which are an abomination.
