Leslie Love Tripathy is India and Odisha's Cultural Touchstone


She came, she posed, she conquered. Leslie Love Ann Tripathy has essentially willed her way into public consciousness. With hand on hip and a marketing strategy always in mind, she has chased down fame with a cunning and tenacity that's unmatched, even in Hollywood.In this relentless game of self-branding, what you think of Leslie doesn't matter. Just that you think of her. charts the rise and rise of the world's most famous Indian-Oriya, using her story as a launch pad into a broader discussion about celebrity, media, marketing and consumerism in our tabloid era.As hundreds of flashbulbs lit up the still-darkened skies, Tripathy moved through a crush of gawkers and paparazzi as if she was floating along a red carpet only she could see since she has been constantly been badgered by her obsessive psychopath stalker and her rising above the idiotic scandal and controversy that could only be witnessed in a gory backward state of India-Odisha..The cable channels flashed "Breaking News" graphics. Magazine editors began jockeying for exclusives. But Leslie's face was frozen with a coy grin not letting her critics,detractors celebrate her misery as her every move was being monitored by a live audience.It's hard to have to deal with the media scrutiny sometimes.She's just a media darling for us and yet scandalous enough to hold everyone's attention.She was the queen, the first to really, really, really use the paparazzi, to create her star.For the paparazzi, meanwhile, the public fascination with the rich and famous celebrity titles now account for three out of five dollars spent on magazines in North America has breathed financial legitimacy into the unseemly game of cat-and-mouse. Had she been in U.S.A God only knows what would have happened to her rising tabloid fan frenzy which alone in India not to speak Odisha has got people talking the world over.The grim footage of Anna Nicole Smith being rushed into a hospital on a gurney earned the shooter $1.5 million. The first pictures of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed embracing on a yacht sold for an astounding $7 million.Not surprisingly, the prospect of instant fortune means anything goes. And the behind-the-scenes footage of Britney Spears being hunted by gruff men with telephoto lenses as she drives, as she goes for a swim, as she stops at a gas station is a bit chilling. Leslie has been heard saying,''I feel like the media has used me so much and now I want to start using them to focus on things that do really matter in the world, whether it be for charity or for my products or for promotion of India and Odisha's beautiful heritage and culture getting a permanent up beat feature on the globalised platform."

Leslie of Odisha is the Princess of Beauty and Softness




Leslie has certainly made her mark on everybody, who have that great luck to have met Princess of Beauty and Softness and Tom Hazzlitt was heard saying "Holycow!!!!How perfectly beautiful can a girl at her age be?Flawless alabaster skin and her whole face lights up when she speaks and there were moments when I had to fight to hear the words because I'm just lost in her beauty." She is not only vehemently pursued by her suitors,film makers whom she rejects left down right,yet many political parties in the country want her to campaign and join their party as they are inevitably assured of the votes doling in from her male admirers and huge fan following.I am sure she would find a way of harnessing her own skills and popularity to the sense of Odisha,India as a more modern and compassionate country.She never disappoints her fans,she readily waits ans signs autographs,poses with them for photos,a rare instinct shown by celebrities.She makes sure nobody is neglected nor ignored.

Leslie if she has a talent for something then its love,love and love,her compassionate heart always dying to bring cheer and a difference in the unfortunate,dejected people's livesShe is their spokesperson"After her moves were restricted following the death threat to her life,,so she could not visit her favorite orphanages,old people's homes,house for the disabled because she was cautious and concerned that people who were targetting her would inevitably target people whom she loved and cared about,because after it was out that all her movements had been monitored by her psycho stalker and his gang members there was an impending danger to the lives of the people whom she was regurlarly paying visit.Those very people missed her and were heard saying, 'Who's going to speak for us, now?' They had a point. The disabled: who's going to speak for them? The AIDS patients: who's going to speak for them? The drug addicts, the down-and-outs, the homeless, the elderly? She was their voice and drew attention to their plight.All of them prayed for her distress,trauma to be over soon and they could get to behold the angelic face of their Fairy Princess and get solace with her healing touch and soothing voice"


Leslie of Odisha is 'Elegant Spice'


Celebrity culture is cruel, but especially to women. "One of the characteristics of celebrity culture is that you first build someone up and then you write about their downfall," says German writer Tom Levine. Leslie has been going on that up-and-down train. Her last summer was already something of a downward ride. Her 20 kilo weight loss set the press speculating she might be suffering from anorexia. She wasn't, and such close attention could not have been easy for a bulimic. But her public admission of her eating disorder in an interview with the BBC has encouraged hidden sufferers to seek help. Her life reflects many of the concerns of ordinary women — their weight, their relationship troubles — and by talking openly she also eroded the stigma attached to failure. Even a famous perfect young girl has battled the bulge, even a beauty like her has had to face a lot rejections,still she never used her charisma to get ahead in life but has admirably chosen to stick to her morals,ethics,principles in life resisting every thing that has seemed to be on the immoral side.Life and people have been cruel to this delicate darling,who's no stranger to pain,suffering and misery.Leslie has always preferred to suffer in silence rather than wear her emotions on her shoulders,a typical trait of her British Stiff-Upperlip upbringing.Leslie's greatness remains in the fact that she displays a sunny disposition in public,licking her wounds in privacy some traitvery visible in the immortal Diana's life who also was a bulimic like our fairy princess Leslie,these bulimics think they are a burden to society,often wishing they were not alive,they always choose not to speak about their troublesor suffering considering themselves as worthless creatures.

Its sad despite her efforts Leslie has been criticized for her "American style of emotionalism,where she would hug and kiss or air kiss the female fans of hers,never letting any man get any closer to her though,any little act of kindness and love,words of genuine affection brought tears to her eyes,such an emotional girl"but her approach actually represents a liberation theology in hidebound Orissa. "It was very radical. She didn't just talk the talk, she walked the walk."

Many feminists have read her struggle against a sclerotic system as a parable of empowerment. Famously dubbed as an "incredible superstar." That she iss, but she would never have located herself in the feminist firmament. She wasn't interested in gender equality. She fought against a patriarchy because it was old-fashioned and restrictive, not because she repudiated its male values. Lesliey remains one of the first and most potent symbols of the "girl power" celebrated by the Spice Girls with their mildly predatory allure and celebration of girly friendship. It is a neat fit for Leslie, with her close women friends and her troubled search for a mate. What 'Elegant Spice' really, really wants is not at all radical: to love and be loved.

Naughty girl next door Leslie Love Tripathy


Naughty girl next door Leslie Love Tripathy
Leslie Love Ann Tripathy is nothing like as gifted as Judy Garland, nowhere near as sexy as Marilyn Monroe, but like those equally doomed young women, she has the power to touch us--that is to say, if one examines the response dispassionately, to make us feel sorry for her. She is a terribly mixed-up kid. We have always felt close to her (when we were not infuriated by her) because she represents in herself so many of the worries our own children are likely to foist upon us--disappointing school grades, anorexia and bulimia, becoming the obsession of unsuitable men and young men,unable to decide as to how tohandle all the numerous suitors,a tendency to show off, a preoccupation with clothes and publicity.
Sometimes she went too far, as children do, and we were fed up with her. Sometimes we felt that she was deceiving us. She doth protest too much, we occasionally thought, when she complained about the attentions of the paparazzi. When, after so many years of burning extravagant candles at both ends, became a the inevitable obsession of a criminal living on drugs,how many times was she asked to stay away from showbiz,but she revolted and courted danger when a fan became a stalker threatened to kidnap and kill his dream girl if she didnt agree to marry him and even went to lengths of killing and kidnapping people and whoever posed as a threat in his path of possessing this lovely,perky Angel Queen. some of us for a moment thought, as the Friar thought about Romeo and Juliet, "These violent delights have violent ends..."
But she has touched us--that's the thing. As the Friar went on to remark, "So light a foot will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint." She is so lovely to look at. She appears to be so shy. Like all our children, she seems to float above the drab and everlasting flintiness of our ordinary lives. Time and again we found ourselves ready to forgive her, just as in the end we always give in and send our wayward offspring another check to pay the telephone bill; and we did it as always with a shrug of the shoulders that is part affection, part exasperation, part amusement, part forgiveness--and part pity. Even a doubter like me, when the news arrived that the former coach of the wonder kid Buddhia Singh,judo coach Biranchi Das had been shot dead because he was protecting Leslie from the evil gangster,and the devil took him as a thorn in his path ofwinning his Dream girl that Monday morning, felt the tears come to my eyes,wondering how safe was the girl when she unfortunately had become a goal in somebody's life,here we arent referring to a normal man who when rejected or ignored takes the cue and leaves his dream girl for good with a bruised ego but here we are referring to a psycho gets violent with rejection,once he wants something he pursues it crazily and even can go to lengths of harming or destroying the girl if he finally understands he cant possess her.
But then we saw in her too some larger allegory. She mirrors our personal anxieties, and the perennial anxieties of the young its hard to believe there's so much hoi-polloi over this lovely girl,something we have seen in the movies moreover specifically 'Helen of Troy' . Much of the angst of this troubled fin de siecle has been indexed in her young life. Wars and poverty, sickness and prejudice, uncertainty and despair--this daughter of a professor of english literature, this gold medallist in english literature is paradoxically familiar with them all finding her life to be 'the stuff dreams,fiction,films are made of'
How sad! What a pathetic life, after all, enlarged for us all by unrelenting advertisement, blown up like a fictional drama so that it is already entering, before our eyes, the realm of myth--an apotheosis that in previous ages took centuries to happen. In the world at large, she is already on the way to join Elvis,Diana,Helen and Marilyn on a flying saucer somewhere: in BIndia everybody is concerned,living with fear what will happen next will there be justice around with a hysterical intensity that seems pathological.
Of course, this is partly a tabloid gossip, just as Leslie herself has become a tabloid star--almost a fictional star. We have been deluded into thinking we actually know her by the tireless machines of the media, and we have cried and prayed for her as for one of our own children.
With the slandering and sabotaging done to this lovely if maddening princess for standing up and fighting her battle,voicing and speaking her mind hasnt been taken well by the orthodoxical masses of Orissa though she's being hailed as Hero all over India and abroad,yet she's being crucified in Orissa for being the beacon of light empowering women in a man's world. Something, as the old song said, had to give, and perhaps this fantastic display of public grief though behind curtains as nobody wants to be in the hitlist of that psycho, so vulgar in many ways, so unconvincing in others, has to it some spiritual element after all. Perhaps in their hearts--or so I hope--the Indian people see Leslie as a fellow victim of degraded times, and have instinctively seized upon her misery,suffering as the moment for a fresh start.
Then again it is doubtless partly mass hysteria--groupies genuinely mean it too, when they swoon in the presence of their idols, one scream leading to another, one pair of panties thrown onstage soon leading to a storm of votive lingerie. It is partly resentment against the orthodox system.Lesliey has always had a disregard for rules,though naive and passive she has a streak for adventure,exploring the road not taken,may be Thoreau has inspired her to unleash her inner Columbus.Thats why even when everybody backed out from being part of that fateful Prisoner's Reform Programme when she was invited along other celebrities,she was fearless and bravely agreed to meet and try her best to reform the lives of prisoners living in Baripada jail.Its the Ulysses within her that wanted to explore,learn and see what sort of life prisoners led,'TO STRIVE ,TO SEEK AND NOT TO YIELD'Its because she has no idea of the affect she has on people,she doesnt know everybody who comes across her is enchanted by her innocent lovely face,good manners and compassion that overflows from every fibre of her petite frame. Despite late damage limitation from the Odisha State Govt, many Indians see the hypocritical,coward Oriya acting industry and many people who were supported by Leslie in their various causes previously never turned up to support the damsel when she was in distress,obviously they have been seen as villains in this soap opera, stuffy and reactionary guardians of an old order into which Leslie came as a lovely catalyst, only to be spurned as young heroines so often are.

Deconstructing the Phenomena of the famous Leslie of Odisha



Deconstructing the Phenomena of Leslie of Odisha

The first question that has been haunting me all this while with the 'Phenomenal Leslie of Odisha or is it Orissa episode' is this: Why on earth would anyone want to be famous, especially now? (What a nightmare! What a disaster!)
And the second question (the obverse of the first): Why do masses of men and women feel such intense emotion about the life and death ,happiness,sufering,misery of people who are strangers to them--strangers, that is, except to the extent that masses of people have been deceived by the tabloids into an illusion of intimacy with the famous?
If the intimacy was an illusion, is the interest and concern an illusion as well? Or how exactly do we assess the emotional truth of these outpourings? A moment of poignant communion in the Family of Man? A cheap exploitation of sympathies one centimeter deep? Or is there a third possibility? Something to do with mortals and gods and goddesses?
To be famous is among the basic human ambitions, of course, an all but universal fantasy. Who--except for nuns and monks, say, who are content with God's radiant attention--sets out in life to remain obscure? Fame is fun--and vindication. One need never be lonely, anywhere, ever. Fame has style, glamour, money, attention; ignites the sudden light of recognition in strangers' eyes, commands the comic deference of headwaiters as they sweep you past the serfs and hoi polloi to the best table.
Some who have come to be famous see in retrospect that the daydream may have been touchingly adolescent, self-inflating in the style of Mr. Toad. In some personalities, the need for attention is darker and more retrograde: neurotic, infantile, a sort of baby's unappeasable love craving, a raw, screaming hunger.
In any case, one should beware of answered prayers. Those with hard experience at being famous know that while celebrity can occasionally be delightful, it may become a burden, an arduous and menacing bore. Just how menacing it can be we saw on the evening of April-13th-2008 when it was flashed all across the world that The psycho stalker against whom Leslie of Orissa had lodged an F.I.R had killed Biranchi Das the famous judo coach of Limca Record Maker little wonder Boy Buddhia Singh because he had taken it upon himself to protect his favorite actress,activist the effervescent,charming heart-throb of Orissa-Leslie Love Tripathy from her dangerous stalker and crazy fan,who wouldnt take a no for an answer.So he decided to eliminate Coach Das who was posing an obstacle for the Devil who is a living version of Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde,only hewasnt adoctor nor had any contributions in saving anybody nor welfare ofsociety,but wasrather is an extortionist with 40 cases lodged against him,of which 5 are for murder.So its unfortunate that Leslie became a victim of her adventurous spirit and good nature.She went to a Prisoners Reform Programme on December-17-2005,she preached her message to the prisoners all of whom were her fans,the 16 year old had a reputation for being a outstanding spokesperson so inspired by her favorite Mother Teresa,Florence Nightingale,Eleanor Roosevelt and Diana,she hadagreed to help people make their lives worth living and always help the suffering at a very young age.Little did this flamboyant British bred Princess realise that she would become a Social Victim from a Social Reformer.As it happened a prisoner living inside the premises of the prison was madly in love with his favorite actress and only sensational face seen in Orissa,which way different from other oriya girls or so to say indian beauties as well.That convict living in that prison had given all hopes on life after he was convicted 4 years of imprisonment,little did he expect his life would change after he laid eyes on his favorite Pin-Up Princess.There were other actresses too but not stood out in beauty,manners,charm as Leslie did,everybody was smitten by her angelic aura.On top of it she was polite and kind to all prisoners,she signed autographs,shook hands,posed for photographs,smiled,spoke politely with everybody without any discriminations.Leslie's goodness had enchanted all but most enchanted was the stalker Raja Acharya who was a drug addict its imaginable he never thought rationally and lived life on his whims and caprices,who had made up his mind he would somehow win the affections of this lovely fairy angel somehow who co-incidentally happened to be a brahmin girl,a gold medallist,she seemed out of this world.The icing on the cake was tabloids had flashed the news that Leslie was single,never had a boyfriend and her friends had leaked it out that Leslie had vowed never to indulge with any boy before marriage abd had also vowed never to have sex before marriage.Well every bad boy always wishes to settle down with a good girl,which sure a rare species,but when this bad boy met his Angel Queen in flesh and blood he decided to pursue her deeply,crazily and madly.
The famed one is paradoxically as naked as an exile dispossessed. The celebrity enters into a powerful and potentially dangerous force field, a relationship with masses of people gone slightly insane; sometimes he encounters that side of human nature that forms lynch mobs: the beast. A surreal dynamic goes to work. The famous may find their fortunes held hostage by the moods and attention spans of people they do not know. The unstable affections of fandom have a life of their own and acquire an unpredictable but nearly absolute power over one's personal and professional fate. Fame becomes a form of primitive, dangerous religion, like snake handling.
It was always a primitive terror to be cast out of the tribe and made to wander as a stranger. Today a famous person--Arnold Schwarzenegger, say, or Sylvester Stallone, those universal action figures whose films require the fewest subtitles and therefore address masses most eloquently in remote cultures--might go anywhere on earth and never be a stranger. Is that desirable? Or a horror? Such planetary recognition may be as dangerous, in a different way, as being an unknown alien once was.
The most extreme danger comes in the form of the sort of lethal nonentity who gunned down John Lennon. Other stalkers are less murderous but more numerous. In fandom, boundaries of individuality break down and enthusiasts come to think they own the celebrity in some way. They behave with a bizarre, intrusive, proprietary aggression, as if the icon had entered their own head (as indeed the icon has) and thereby relinquished all rights of privacy and courtesy and become a plaything of fans' fantasy. Madonna has said that one of the worst things about being famous is that you cannot put your trash out on the sidewalk in front of your house: someone will plunder it. Autograph hunters are the most benign of stalkers. The press, to a divorced princess, an actress or the U.S. President, represents a complex evil and professional necessity. The predations celebrities fear most from the press, especially photographers, are intrusions into the lives of their children.

There is tremendous light and wisdom in Lesliey Iconn's work. However, more importantly, there is tremendous light and wisdom in her soul.

It is believed that Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But Lesliey is eternity and she is the mirror

leslie tripathy promising actress of this era




Leslie Love Ann Tripathy ,is , without a doubt, the most promising and prominent actress of this era, blessed with a certain versatility in on-screen roles as well as your stellar beauty.

Leslie Love Tripathy the uptown girl




My favorite actress Lesliey Iconn,who's an Uptown Girl,this song is for her.....from meShe's been living in her uptown world I bet she never had a back street guy I bet her mama never told her why I'm gonna try for an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am And when she knows what She wants from her time And when she wakes up And makes up her mind She'll see I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl You know I've seen her in her uptown world She's getting tired of her high class toys And all her presents from her uptown boys She's got a choice Uptown girl You know I can't afford to buy her pearls But maybe someday when my ship comes in She'll understand what kind of guy I've been And then I'll win And when she's walking She's looking so fine And when she's talking She'll say that she's mine

This combination of vulnerability and power is perhaps her greatest asset.

kind hearted princess Leslie Iconn Tripathy




Lesliey is good at promoting kindness, and she always insists the importance of having a good heart. You've probably heard from someone who used to hate Lesliey, but after he or she met her in person, suddenly, his or her views about her changed because the person discovered how nice she is to people. You might have already seen actresses who are mean and arrogant to other girls who are as pretty as them. But with Lesliey, that's not the case. She does have a good heart, and doesn't take any sides or "discriminate" against anyone.

Leslie Tripathy,the gifted woman of her generation




The regal cheekbones, the dewy complexion, the finishing-school comportment -- Lesliey has the whole package."Lesliey Iconn Love Ann Tripathi is going to rise up as one of the gifted women of her generation, and that's not the way the math is supposed to work when you're great and fabulous and a big star on TV. People would think I have an investment in her PR firm, but I've never focused on the fact that she's easy on the eyes and charming and sweet and genuine. That's great, but that and 10 cents will get you 10 cents. She's an artist, and she's still so young."
