It has been customary at the end of an astrological debate, actually a quarrel (these days about Jaimini dashas) -- astrologers come away claiming victory. Starting with a Sanskrit shloka or sutra, a fatuous rhetorical war path, they end up abusing each other. I have seen it so often, astrologers using very offensive language and uttering arrant nonsense. They spout ill-informed academic poison. They cannot overcome their obsessions. Involved in such quarrels, you find yourself between a precipitous rock and a deep sea.
Dishonest politicians of India are known for their duplicity and saying in press statements and interviews that do not believe in astrology and that they never got right predictions from astrologers. As I have said earlier, these politicians are mostly interested in hearing about the destruction of their enemies in their own parties.
Do actors also say that and particularly Amitabh Bachchan ? My information and experience is totally different.
Here is one reaction to my piece (part one of BACHCHAN BLASTS 1). This is from a distinguished woman journalist who is very well informed.

Dear Mr Rao I read your article on Amitabh Bachchan denying reports of astrological remedies, etc. The man is a liar. If you look at his hands, his wife's hands and son's hands, they're studded with rings. Amitabh himself wears a huge blue saphire. Not for show, certainly. I've heard from a source that he goes to a tantrik in Benares. Where his bahu is concerned, her community, the Bunts, worship Bhootnath - Shiva as lord of the netherworld - and do all that goes with such worship.
.....Amitabh's father's autobiography for Penguin Books (English translation). It states that Harvanshrai's grandfather was so poor that he went to a saint of the Ramanand sect in Allahabad for blessings. The saint gave him three vessels and said that so long as his descendents had these, they would never lack. The turn in fortune began after that. I assume this branch of the family still has one of the vessels. Incidentally, I have it from someone who knows the Gandhis well that the split with the Bachchans was because ......
