Unkind towards Rupali

I find too many in this Forum going out for personal attacks on - in this case - Rupali. Why are people so negative, so unkind, so rude even?

The actors and actresses are busy all this time in 2 shows, don't forget that: Anupama and the Parivaar one. And the latter is not only weekly but also 2 hours long each time.

Where is the chance to perform at high levels all the time? Especially in the absence of a great story, good dialogues, and adequate directorial support!

Just let's be kind to our lead stars - and the others. If one doesn't like it, switch off the TV or go to another show but this constant negativity is grating on my nerves - at least.

If its easy to switch off the TV, its also easy to not visit IF, not read forum posts and not post replies too, isn't it? Also i don't understand this blind celebrity worship. One can always like celebrities who provide entertainment but I am always puzzled by the unhealthy attachment and reverence some people have with celebrities

In any other walk of life, a paying customer can complain without issues. Say i paid for a shoe and it didn't come out great, i can blame the company and owners. No one will say if I criticize a product owner, it gets on their nerves. Why should celebrities be different?

Now do keep in mind I am talking only about criticism of acting and professionalism and not criticism of their private lives or casting aspirations on their character or motives in real life. That's vile.

But the criticism I see here is mostly about acting, expression, delivery, dancing etc. What personal attacks are you seeing? .

I will never understand people who defend rich celebrities as if they are their personal family. They are getting money for their performances so the paying viewers have every right to their opinions, judgment and criticism of the same performance. And they are getting paid huge money all the time for every performance, its not like they are taking a money cut. If they have signed for the Parivaar show its because they are getting paid huge bucks, its not like its for charity.

Higher fame and higher money will also draw higher scrutiny and higher criticism. They are both part of the same coin and you cannot have one without the other. Higher fame will draw higher expectations which in turn will set higher standards and that in turn will lead to higher criticism. You cannot be ok with the fame and money and then try to draw the line at criticism. It doesn't work that way. These are the stars of the most popular series in the country, so they will be measured against those standards. Just like the CEO of a company is measured differently froma new joinee. No one says - lets be kind to the CEO, do they? Everyone knows they are getting top money and top job and name so they have more scrutiny, not less

I know we live in a country where cricketers and actors are worshipped and their fans take any criticism personally, but that's not something to be proud of.

CRITICISM COMES AS YOU MOVE HIGHER UP LADDER ..My criticism is towards makers who do not groom their actor well according to their script .

I have only seen criticism of the show storyline, acting or dancing. The show is popular and is considered a benchmark on TV. There are always things to improve and as fans we have the right to praise or provide constructive criticism on the performances.

Additionally these actors also have an influence as can be seen from the social media. Hence, why not use it for a better society.

"With great power comes great responsibility" as they say.

My 2 cents, not bashing anyone

Can't speak for everyone. I tend to criticize if I am attached to something as I am.super picky and feel super duper let down and disappointed. Actors are good on show, some are fabulous. Ckts are messy. I pick my battles, which post should I react to and which one not, to no matter how that post makes me feel. Some actors are that way, they dont let -very affect then focus on the love. (I got a clue wat u r hinting).

Criticizing means different to different ppl. I do it to vent my frustration and also caz its constructive feedback unless it goes on different direction. Constructive criticism helps with growth.

The ckts, script, direction, tracks, dancing are the ones that are getting trashed here, as thats the main concern.

Actors do their job, they do what they are told to, the only thing they are in control of is 'how can I make an impact with qcting in the scenes'..I stand mostly for Anu in this form more than Anuj, regardless I love them same.

Individuals express frustration in different levels in that case SP kee solid baj rahi hai, on twitter at times here and may be outside, no post for him? I am neither V fan not like SP despite he is a good looking guy. Jo hai wahi hai. Haven't seen that here on IF.

One simple funda on IF, personal kuch bhi nahin lena, always differeciate ckts n actors.

Long post alert ...

I feel this also has to do with the fact that after some time saturation of the audience for the same character is bound to come - like Law of diminishing returns . The show has been around for more than 2 years , 6 days a week and has revolved heavily around the central ch . Ab kitna jhelenge , in today’s times even popular Bollywood actors have limited shelf life 🙄 .... Anupamaa as a ch is a heavy weight role esp with all the bhashans , it’s bound to weigh you down and now it has started showing visibly. On one hand while we have Mumbai and Delhi Police using scenes and dialogues from Anupamaa to promote social msgs , on other most of us are starting to get annoyed with the very traits which made the ch popular earlier .
That’s why Anuj’s entry was such a high point for the show . It gave us a glimpse of the ch outside of her role as a mother and romantic premise seemed v promising with the chemistry . But the makers screwed that up royally !!! 😔

Then another point is however good an actor , it’s difficult to be likeable if your character itself is so messed up , especially if audience identification with your character is so strong . Most of us are no longer able to identify with the ch itself , same is happening with Anuj also . I mean how can Rups act to make the Baa Jaap more bearable ? Are the actors playing AB and BB not good that they make us want to pull our hair apart every time they come on screen ? No ,just look at what is being given to them , woh bhi kya karein 😆

Then last point and a pet peeve of mine - it seems that the PH and channel literally want to juice out the last bit of Rupali as Anupamaa .... Even on RWSP why is she made to do nazar utarnaa , thu thu thu, arti karna like every 10 mins, made to wear drowdy clothes and why is every guest touching her feet ... While GK being Anuj is still allowed to flirt , and generally be more himself as an entertainer ( nothing against GK here , he’s the only watchable element in RSWP acc to me ) .. HC was made to remove his shirt once and since then has not even come again on the show but RG episode after episode is made to do these annoying things and generally behave like the Maa of entire universe .. RG herself also seems to be having inhibitions in shedding her Anupamaa image outside the serial also , which is making things worst ( SP also seems to be a victim of this trait ) ....

So is RGs time on the show up ? Not yet I would say if they want to explore Maan in a meaningful manner , give us some realistic stories etc ... but if they want to stick to the same Shah drama , maayka-Baa jaap , main Maa hoon thing , might be better if they head for the leap with new faces ....

My 2 cents ...

Hey I might be wrong, but I feel like this post is intended as a reply to mine, on the basis of the highlighted text. I am sorry if you felt like I was rude to Rupali. I didn't intend to be. But as an audience member I am entitled to the right to criticise the actor to whom I am devoting my time. Therefore, if I want to say her acting is grating on me, on all fronts, I am justified.

My frustrations are with the characterization of Anupama and Anuj, So more with the PH and writers than the actors. Anupama is depicted as this ashtabhuja who can do no wrong, she talks in generalizations and gives sermons. Some of them really irritate me, like the one how a mother is and should be. Or what it is meant to be a woman in general. It sometimes makes me say, Maate, practice what you preach. Yes you should always be respectful towards your mother/ parent. But when will the writer show her to be practicing it. Majaal hai ki Kanta Ben ko mahine mein ek baar bhi dikha de. Yes Leela kept Anupamaa busy at house work, did not invite Kanta for any functions before. But Anupama now is remarried, why can’t she invite her mother to her new house and family functions with Anuj, there are no restrictions on her. But pagphere ke liye Shah house jaana hai, gruh pravesh ke liye bhi Shahs chahiye. Madam you have a living mother, please do invite her and your brother sometimes. But then it’s logistics, the actors that portray Kanta, Bhavesh are probably busy with other shows. Phone pe hi baat dikha do.

My other pet peeve is Anupama is supposed to be excellent dancer, but the dances except for the Diwali group performance have been nothing great. The one which she won state competition and had international performance invites for, was mediocre at best. It’s PHs responsibility to give enough time to actors and performers to practice and schedule shoot accordingly, if they want to make such big statements.

Coming to Anuj, he is a big business tycoon, but has enough time to be involved in Shah house tamasha. He manages an empire worth thousand crores, but is rarely shown in his cabin or at work, let alone meetings with his other staff/clients. Dude when do you work. He has no media reporting his whereabouts after big accidents, none when he hands over business to family. None whatsoever when he is roaming in auto rickshaws. No one recognizes him on street, despite having his photos on front page of the newspapers and his name in in business case studies for MBA students.

As far i have seen no body is doing personal attacks on rupali. People here always criticize anupama the character and character traits.

Yes there was some criticism about her dancing skills and sometimes also on acting but i think it was kind of constructive criticism. The choreography is not good at all in the show and sometimes even great actors mess up their performance in acting so its kind of ok...its not that big deal. Other than this i didn't find any criticism of rupali which comes under personal attack.

Infact to be honest, rupali se jyada log personal attack to SP par kar dete hain. Kab vanraj ka criticism hadh paar karke SP the actor par chala jata hai pata hi nahi chalta. Wo bhi kam nahi hai... sometimes i feel he knowingly gives some provoking statements but then also...he should not be targeted personally...but i wonder usko defend karne to koi nahi aaya.🤣
