Is Bollywood Forum getting Boring?! - Page 4

Yes Riya I agree.. I have to give it to Shahid for creating this euphoria around him. He did go through a rough patch but he bounced back.. and there was a time when people were making fun of him and had written him off.. but he continued and worked hard and bounced back.. People (even me) picked on him about him being too inspired by Srk.. I remember in KWK.. Kjo asked him that what do you think about this srk connect and Sha said that its a compliment and I take it well.. He never dampened his spirits despite the criticism and see now where he is.. he has achieved a lot despite all the odds.. Now this kinda attitude rocks.. most of the stars that are big today have faced tough times but its your ability to rise through these times and fight back is what makes the difference between ordinary and extraordinary.. All these star sons are great.. its just if they shouldtake things seriously and try to learn faster and adapt and then they can do much better. But I still think that fresh young talent should be encrouraged and our in grown Indian talent should be appreciated we have a very talented bright and ambitious pool of youth who can definately take bolly to the next level if given a chance.

Yeah he was kicked around for a quite a while, three of his films flopped in a month and he was really down while shooting for Vivah. He said he was always down while shooting for that film, but whenever he checked his shots on the monitor, he knew that he does know his job. Thats why he did JWM, to gain the director's respect. Like Vishal said, he is an intelligent actor. Not many actors are "intelligent" these days, I think SRK and Aamir are intelligent actors, and thats why they are huge in Bollywood.

A lot of these star sons will make it big eventually, and will become better actors but that would take them like two decades. Being called a decent actor by two decades is no achievement, I think. The media hypes these star sons, people know about them before they even make their debut. Girls go ga-ga over them even before their first film releases, all because of the media. Now any producer would like to cast a hyped actor who already has fangirls before his debut over a newbie, who has no hype surrounding him, and the public doesnt give a shit about him. When I told my mom about Ishq Vishk, she was like, "yeh hero kaun hai? Shaheeeeed? I dont wanna watch his movie." But when Saawariya came out, she really wanted to check out Ranbir and Sonam, all because of the hype. Its the charisma that wins over people eventually, and thats why my mom would rather watch a Shahid over any other star kid's film. Sadly, these star kids are given too many opportunities, so eventually they do succeed.

Random example-Koko is from a filmy family too, but is she as hyped as Kareena Kapoor? Def no.

Arrey this is how everyone is welcomed in BS.. Havent you seen me getting slaughtered in debates.. And I dont like Shahid Kapoor.. I mean do you even have a clue how do I survive here everyday.. LOL.. just kidding yaar you guyz should post.. this is a public forum.. no one can stop you.. U guyz are nice you should contribute a bit more in non rani topics if you dont mind me saying that .. and you can post stuff about Rani also.. no probs.. But I do admire your passion towards Rani.. I really do!

I agree it was easier to make it big in 90's cauz there werent many star sons at that time and most of the stars in those days were self made and some even came from very humble beginnings like Govinda he used to live in a slum in virar and he is totally self made, Sals dad was big in bolly but his dad's career was shakey at that time so even he had to struggle.. Aamir was the only one who was properly launched by his family. But I have to say that time was perfect for newcomer and we have gotten true legends out of that time. Its shameful though as we have progressed as a civilizaiton (too heavy a word) but whaever ya as we have progressed in terms of society our work ethics have gotten worse. I seriously believe that west is what it is because of their sound ethical culture, the working culture all the bound rules and the fact that they follow rules and go by them in each and every situation without making exceptions. The discipline, the passion the sincerity towards work that is there in west is totally unmatched. At the end of the day its just a job to be done in a particular manner with the right ethics and success would be yours.. but that is just hardly there in Bollywood.. where ethics and rules are made fun of and hardly followed.

@ Gabi: I appreciate your honesty but I want you to know that I personally dont hold any grudges against you and as far as I know the people here I dont think anyone does.. All of us have gotten into fights for our favs here before and we have always moved on from it.. without holding any grudges.. at the end of the day its just world wide web I mean who carez its not like we have to marry each other.. LOL.. so all of us here dont dig that deep into stuff we have said in the past. I think you should do whatever makes you happy and never be hesitant to speak your mind and express your opinions here.. So as I said listen to your heart and do what feels right.. but from our side we dont hold anything against you.. atleast I dont and I am pretty sure no one else does either.. So keep posting here and see you around.

<br><br>Yeah seriously Adios and me have gotten into so many arguments but we still continue commenting on each other's posts. I used to be pretty diplomatic, but since the forum has become boring I am trying to be a little more blunt. So people should continue posting and get into fights even. Like Adios said this is just the internet. It really doesn't affect our lives.<br>
