knock on would

PC is charged! screams the headline of an article in the Hindu in which we are told that the winner of the National Award for 2009 for Best Actress was thrilled to have found out that I am one of the youngest actresses to win the National Award. Aside from being another article that confirms the title of her next film with Vishal Bhardwaj (Saat Khoon Maaf), this fluff piece only merits mention for offering another case of abuse of would (And by the end of the year I would be doing some high-class action in the sequel of Don). Did the former Miss India say that? Would she say that? Or should we blame someone named Anuj Kumar for paraphrasing piecemeal quotes tossed to a roomful of people from the fourth estate? Would anyone really know?
