Shriya's Contradictory Desires

U.S. writer F. Scott Fitzgerald once said “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function” I remembered this quote when I read two contradictory statements of Shriya recently. Committing for an Item Dance in ‘Puli’ on one hand, she expressed her desire to pair with Ajith on the other hand.

You all know ‘Puli’ is an upcoming bilingual film starring Pavan Kalyan in Telugu and S.J.Surya in Tamil. Shriya recently signed to perform an Item Dance for this film. News says she demanded 50 Lakhs rupees initially but signed for 15 Lakhs for an Item Number! Justifying her decision she said “I have come for acting whether it is lead role or item number. I don’t have any discrimination. As far as this film is concerned, it is a combination of legends S.J.Surya, Pavan Kalyan and A.R.Rehman. Appearing for an item number in this film is a great thing. Moreover my favourite dance master Brundha choreographed for this song sequence. So, I happily agreed”

After portraying the much coveted role opposite Rajnikanth in ‘Sivaji – The Boss’, Shriya performed an item number with comedian Vadivelu in ‘Indiralohathil Na Azhagappan’ as she got 50 Lakhs for that item number. Annoyed by her move, Ajith, who originally planned to pair with Shriya for ‘Aegan’, dropped Shriya from the project. Now, Shriya expressed her desire two days ago this way “I have an unfulfilled desire. That is to act with Ajith. Formerly pairing with him could not happen unexpectedly. I believe that it would happen in the coming days” Does not her wish sound strange? That too after committing an item number again? I don’t think so. Be it is her sensuous postures to South Scope Calendar or her committing an item number or her desire to pair with Ajith and Vijay, I see only her ulterior intention that is making money in any way because she knows she can hoist her sail when the wind is fair.
