Popular under Shobha De?

The article claims that "It became popular under the editorship of noted journalist, author and columnist, Shobhaa De after 1995." There are specific references to Stardust being the most read film magazine that predate 1995. For example, in an article from the New York Times, September 6, 1992, titled "Steamy Magazine Coverage Steaming Up Actors in India," in which actors are upset at their personal lives being discussed threadbare in cine magazines: "The most disliked magazine is Stardust, the country's largest circulation, English-language film gossip magazine. Mr. Kher's anger was directed at Troy Rebeiro, a reporter at Stardust, who received the stinging slap."

Stardust was popular long before Shobha De ever came on the scene. Still, I am not going to make a change until someone responds here. --Hunnjazal (talk) 20:06, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
