She did not find the need to have her lover’s baby like Hema Malini.
She is not opposed to marriage the way Shabana Azmi (who thinks married women are pathetic) or Zeenat Aman (who’ll go in for a gold band only when she’s ready for a baby) are.
She’s not involved in any causes for a women like Smita Patil is with her Remand Home.
She did not leave her husband, Raakhee or Dimple style, to follow a starry dream.
She’s one step ahead of the ‘most complete woman in the industry’ Sharmila Tagore – in the sense that unlike La Tagore, she (very Jeetendra – like) has left behind a home, husband and family in Calcutta to pursue her career in Bombay.
Out here, Moon Moon Sen lives a totally abandoned life. She doesn’t think twice before going for late night booze, dinner and dancing binges, dating the men she likes and freaking out on life. This has raised many an eyebrow, questioned her integrity, labelled her a chaalucheez, branded her husband as hen-pecked and a bechara … and the unfortunate part is that the very heroines who are yelling themselves hoarse about liberation, emancipation and waiting to change the industry (if not the world) are the ones who are indulging in gossiping about this woman who has put into practice what they have been so far preaching and (looks like) meaninglessly talking about.
