The Bachans look fab together, all in white essemble, But flaunting their mid finger this way is a sure NO – NO….!!! Disgusting…….!!!!They should learn from SRK how to hold up their hand….

Wow..Its so easy to comment on HHC abt the “politically incorrect” gesture of the Bachchans when am sure majority of them wouldn’t have even stepped out of their house to vote! As the mad momma said “lighten up” guys!

oh for chrissake – lets lighten up. its just a mark on the finger. its not as though not flipping the bird makes us better citizens and voters. despite the 9/11 attacks, half of mumbai didnt vote – and we should appreciate those who did and can still crack a smile

i thought i could let it slide…but can’t. the bachchan family for all their “political correctness” and talk of wanting to respect people’s sentiments have failed miserably at just that. you can see the cheeky grins on ash’s and abhishek’s face to know that they think it is very funny flipping the bird. that is all well and fine, but when it pertains to the elections it is plain disrespectful to the whole democratic process of voting. I can understand when the older people hold up their middle finger since they might not know that they are inadvertently flipping the bird, but the younger lot who are fully aware of what holding up the middle finger means do it…it is just a tad bit crass. loooove how kids like sonam kapoor and the sinha kids hold up either their whole hand or the v sign.
pls tell the bachchans to get over themselves before they get more fan hate coming their way!! seriously seriously offended!!!!

It is funny actually. It is time to lighten up.

The reason why it is middle finger in Mumbai/Maharastra is because there was Muncipal election in some places recently maybe a month or so back, so some people might still have the ink on their index finger. To avoid any confusion and any forgery voting, they decided to ink the index finger.

Btw, The middle finger was inked this time as parts of the country has already voted and had their index finger inked so the election officials didnt wanted to create some difference between the sections of polling states… My guess is that the next phase of polling states will have their ring fingers inked… Just our luck to get the middle finger :-)

Seriously! These guys need to get that the obvious is not always cool… It’s so much cooler (and dignified) to go beyond what would be expected amd come up with your own version, either Sonam, Aamir and SRK’s full hand salaam, or Sonakshi’s two fingered salute…
