iNDER ON STARS
Despite several warnings and scathing criticism the past, the obnoxious practice of calling any ra girl working in our studios as 'actress* and ling any mediocre actress a "film star", when she •pens to figure in the crime reports appearing in
newspapers, appears to persist much to the dent of the Indian film industry.
Such objectionable references and highly-coloured nons have, in fact, gone a long wav in spreading
unfortunate impression given to the lay public my, that film stars and scandals arc synonymous
always go hand in hand, as it were."
A fresh instance in point was recently furnished •eports about a certain youth called Azizul Haque

It is also desirable that the learned Magistrates disallowed such misleading references in their courts and saw to it that the persons involved are referred to according to their true status especially when they happen to be closely or remotelv connected with the film industry.
After all if one swallow does not make a summer, surely the extra girls (some of whom often hail irom the Red-light districts) involved in scandals rto not and cannot constitute stardom or justify anv uncomplimentary implication on the tribe of film stars as such.
