Shital bats for Marathi media

Beauty pageant winner Shital Upare, who made her breakthrough in Marathi movies with 'Indian Premacha Lafda,' has come down strongly on the alleged stepmotherly treatment given to Marathi mediapersons.
While attending the premiere show of Mrunalini Patil���s ���Kay Raav Tumhi��� at a multiplex in Versova, Mumbai, the Nagpur-girl encountered a situation with the regional journos, which left her bemused; she penned down the story on her blog.According to marathimovieworld.com, she said, "I was invited as celebrity guest at ���Cinemax Versova ��� Mumbai for Mrunalini Patil���s film ���Kay Raav Tumhi���. During the film���s interval, we were called for a interview bite; so , we went out in (the) corridor, but there wasn���t (any) camera or media. Then, we went down stairs; but, (the) media wasn���t there either. So, the guard assisted us straight out of the gate of Cinemax; just along the roadside. And the media was standing there with a small flex of this film. When a senior artist asked the media people, as to why were (they) standing on the street and not inside the theater? But, the reply was horrifying . They said that the media for Hindi /English film only, were allowed inside ? But not Marathi media people.���
She added, ���Now, do you think I should write something more? I can just say, We Should raise our voice against such discrimination. It was neither my film, nor my friend���s film. I was just a guest invitee; but, still I felt hurt; because I am a Marathi. With such strange happening , I really doubt whether in Maharashtra, there is respect for Marathi ?��� she added.
Shital, who has bagged crowns across several beauty contests, could soon be making her bollywood debut.
