MRS. SUSHILA SINHA (Patna) I have taken a bet with a friend that the newly married Devika Rani has a child. Am I not right ? Not yet. But you can count on the risk from now on. When the little one comes it will be christened in the cradle of international art. MISS BHARATHI MENON (Ernakulam) Do film stars believe in the second world (i.e. life beyond the grave)? That is the fourth world for the film stars. The first is before their stardom. The second is their world of glamour and make-believe in the environments of their studios. The third is their home where their emotional frustrations take tragic shapes. Beliefs are the ghosts of the human brain. Film stars who have hardly any brains can not stretch their imagination into a world beyond the grave. Must a wife share all her secrets with her husband? There will be some incidents in the lives of many women which if disclosed may ruin their lives? Isn't it wise t:> be secretive under such circumstances ? In this world of men a woman has been given a very brittle reputation. Only tact and secrecy can guard its integrity against the constant onslaughts of men. A woman with a past should not risk a conventional marriage. It is a terrific responsibility. A man always likes to imagine that his wife is the one woman born for him and no one else. If the woman has past secrets they inevitably come out some day or other and when they do roses fly off the marital bed and thorns crop up. In moments of emotion women prove themselves bigger fools than men, and confess errors which become mortal sins in the eyes of men in a moment. Remember, the sins of women are but licensed acts for men. What is license for a man is an unpardonable sin for a woman. If a married woman is unfortunate enough to have a secret past, let her guard it with her life till her ashes are thrown into the Ganges. In nursing that secret, she may have to suffer day and night but she will be at least snared the taunts of the licensed brute. KAWASJI F. KAPADIA (Deolali) Where is our sweet, talented Sushila Rani ? She is working in a social picture called "Gvalan". The picture is being produced by Amar Pictures. THOZHURE P. A. NAIR (New Delhi) Most of the Indian film stars seem to be using Lux toilet soap. Is Sushila Rani also accustomed to that? Many stars seem to be selling the soap alright, but I can't say whether they actually use it. Sushila Rani doesn't need to sell soaps. She has refused many such "bubbling" propositions. M. E. DINKER RAO (Madras) Are wives necessary ? Yes, for men to be called husbands. In that word "husband" is the complete story of a woman's eternal bondage. That word is an age-old glorified epitaph on the tombs of our living dead. R. S. TIWARI (Jaipur City) Can a blind man fall in love as well as the one with eyes. Yes, with the help of his ears. The timbre of a sweetheart's voice is a more reliable index to the woman's inner quality than her beautiful appear K. N. Singh believes in looking his role in "Ratnavali" a costume of Amar Pictures 23
