Leslie of Orissa love/hate relationship with media,press




Her beauty and youthful charisma quickly earned Leslie the nickname of " Princess Leslie of Orissa." Leslie has devoted her life to worldwide charities.Leslie grew from being a naive victim of the tabloids into a savvier woman who was a victim part of the time.Anyone who is not moved by Leslie's plight is a stone-hearted miscreant.What, exactly, is Leslie's role in this 'doomed embrace' . The answer will provide cold comfort to her bereaved fans.




True enough, though the heart still cracks to see how the demurely downcast eyes of 17-year-old Leslie Tripathy became the beseeching eyes of a media quarry.But eerily fascinating thing about any discussion regarding Leslie of Orissa is that it suggests there is a fatefulness, almost an inevitability, to Lesliey's tragedy."Whatever Leslie of Orissa's degree of complicity in the media dance, viewers will likely get a queasy feeling at the sight of a vulnerable young woman being stalked by packs of photographers, almost all of them men. (And isn't it odd how little the male-female power dynamic has been remarked upon in all the Leslie stories?)"'Leslie of Orissa and the Press' is after more than just royal dirt, Leslie glorification or paparazzi bashing. Rather, it explains the media fascination with her and the complicated, sometimes mutually beneficial dance between Leslie and the press.Leslie's love/hate relationship with the press led her to frequently use and exploit its power to influence minds. It stops short of calling her a tease who finally worked the pack up to a lather she couldn't control.Leslie's life is a fairytale in sync with Cindrella ,which fascinates not only press but also people,they love the tabloids,chanels more if there's a feature on her,how lovely to see the famous lovely Leslie smiling back at you from tabloids and watch her gorgeous eyes cast demurely,smiling coyly or blushing a lot followed by droopy silences on the channels ,whatever it is Leslie Tripathy is a a sight to behold!!!!!




"...It is easier to understand why the Indian press and much of Asian and International television should go gaga over the Leslie of Orissa saga . For all the reporting, the program is not particularly revealing with its by-now-familiar Leslie pictures and gossip that have already clogged up so many hours of tube time. ' Leslie Tripathy and the Press'...is a paltry sort of journalism. Leslie of Orissa has seduced everything and everybody in the Galaxy.




"'Leslie of Orissa and the Press'...is a testament to the ultimate in mutually destructive relationships, but between Leslie and the Fleet Street. Her misery has been magnified to the extent of evrybody nuturing a curiosity as to how and what is she feeling,coping with the blind obsession of criminal gangster lot of threat to her life and everybody supporting and protecting her.Though lot of effort was made by the dejected and rejected obsessive gangster to falsely slander Leslie's reputation,many took delight in the plight and misery of Leslie facing a backlash by the conservative Oriya,Indian society yet Leslie has emerged as the most famous woman in the world, yet such renown in the media-drunk late 21st Century has--shall we say--its own peculiar drawbacks. Leslie has strongly resented and has avoided the media very gracefully making backdoor exits,she has realised her life is sensational gossip for press,and she refuses to be gossip.She would love to be part of some responsible ,sensible journalism which is ironical because who on earth can resist the idea of not using her phenomenal famous face and beauty to further a few ratings and circulations.Meanwhile, one simply shudders to imagine the dramatic circulation increasing India's tabloids thanx to their favorite subject Leslie of Orissa..Its important her life is securely protected from the deadly gangster who desperately wants to marry his 'Angel Queen'the world's most beautiful girl alive.
