MUMBAI: There are two things that draw people to the city of Mumbai. The intense financial charm the city offers and Bollywood. While the city let’s you make money in shortcut or otherwise, getting through Bollywood is cutthroat competition. Yet the city is (or was) considered to be the safest for women who relentlessly trying to make it big. But not any more.
A gang-rape of a photojournalist in Mumbai has put the entire city to shame. So much that even Bollywood has expressed its angst on such a horrifying and shameful incident. After all millions of women across the country come here in Mumbai to get a Ticket to Bollywood!
Bollywood expresses its angst through tweets:

There has to be harsher punishment for rape & a fixed time limit within which cases must reach a verdict in court. Wake up system!!

There is NO fear of Law. Rape cases go on for years. Nobody is Hanged for Rape. Politicians are interested in Power. NOT Welfare of People.
