under the fire star

[my remarks] "out of proportion blow kiya hai"

Hema Malini said this, trying damage control after saying that North Indians who have a hard time in Mumbai should go back where they came from. I posted it because it's a wonderful example of Hindi-English. At the same time, my mouth really fell open when she made the first statment; some years back, South Indians, of which she is one, had a very hard time in Mumbai, thanks to anti-outsider campaigns by the Shiv Sena political party. I want to say 'what was she thinking?' but I think I already know the answer: nothing at all.
