I don't know the details. Desu would be the better person to answer that. Apparently she got banned from Saif's forum though.

All I know about Shahid fans is through Riya and Desu since I have never been a member of any fan club of his. According to Riya no Kareena bashing takes place on his site. And according to Desu when Shahid and Kareena were together their fans had a "harmonious relationship". Her words, not mine.

Actually I dunno if this is related to the topic or not. But I think the reason that there are so many crazy zealous fangirls around is has something to do with the association principle in psychology. I think the problem is that these fangirls tend to associate far too personally with their favorite stars/sports-team, so that whenever their favorites succeeds, they feel that they've done well and succeeded. That is precisely why, whenever somebody attacks their favorite star, or is against the pair of their favorite-star with another very popular star, the fangirls lash out vehemently, not because the said criticism itself, but because they perceive it as a personal attack on themselves (Due to how intimately they tend to associate themselves with their favorite actors.) This is somewhat akin to ShadowKisses's theory in that the fans try to live out vicariously through the celebrities.

I think the reason why we have so many fangirls of the younger celebrities as compared to the older ones, is I guess because most of the people on I-F are relatively young so they tend to enjoy and know more about the younger celebrities, more than the older celebrities. However I could be wrong on this.

There is no Kareena bashing on SO.net. Everyone actually gave her e-hugs for praising Kaminey.😆

I dont know where such fanism even draws from =| Its not like you know these ppl more personally than you would know ppl on sites such as IF even though its just interaction to fight with them to no extent.
I am scared to face the wrath of such fanism. And its my personal experience, I became more negative to some stars bcoz of their fans.
I think not only girlfriends but even boyfriends of actresses face it. Like in BIRKAs case, many ppl think Ranbirss not upto the mark for Deeps. ME included.
And yes, the extent of dragging of explaining by the fans on the comments their favs. make in articles, video etc. is really unbelievable. Its like they are their personal PR or brain to totally know what they said/mean.

I think it has to do with a few things.

1) Most important reason being some fan girls actually think they have a chance to hook up with these actors if they break up with these girls... I have a cousin in Mumbai who went completely bonkers when Imran Khan's JTYJN came out and she went and stalked Avantika and found out where she lives and just stood outside her house. When Avantika came out, she begged her to break up with Imran because she felt she was a better match. Avantika just smiled and tried to calm her down and then later gave up because she was not budging from the spot... Now my cousin is a sweetheart and i love her but this was utterly stupid and she needs help in that regards.

2) The older generation are the people we grew up watching... We can like their acting, but we were not as actively involved in their love lives. When I was younger and obsessed with KKHH, I loved SRK but I never really cared about Gauri because she was with him since the beginning. Same thing with Saif in his earlier days, he was with his wife the entire time I was growing up and so I was indifferent to his love life. PLUS, it would be disgusting because they are like 5 years younger than my dad...

3) We connect to the younger generation... they go through phases in a relationship like we do... they meet up, become friends, start dating, fall in love and then get married. We see them together throughout it all and so its easy to judge standing on the sidelines. Even in your group of friends, I am sure there are couples you look at and go... "Eh, they are okay looking together... he needs someone who is taller or..." We always judge on TV which is the very basic parts of these people's relationship...

Okay, before I write an essay, time to go study for my midterm in 3 hoursssssssss.

Nice topic!

Very well put. Totally apt and to the T.
Also, I think we shud credit of IF for giving birth to FANGIRLS. And the amount of zealous fans we have here just cannot be compared. I think even the credit of this kinda percentage of zealous fans shud be given to IF.

Well see thats the things, the "fans" on YT or PinkVilla hardly know anything about Shahid. They just like him for eye candy, the people who really know him are on his site, and they dont talk shit.

I remember someone posted the Khaled Mohammad article there, and EVERYONE ignored it. Even I was shocked, they could have bashed her so badly with that article, but they were just busy with Charlie or whatever, that article was completely ignored.

Sort of a tangent based on Pari's post but,I have never disliked a Bollywood couple or thought they were mismatched. I really don't know how people come to that conclusion since we hardly know these people. If tomorrow Ranbir and Deepika break-up I don't think I will care and go around hating Ranbir or his fans.

That line of argument is something I never understood. People claiming that X and Y shouldn't be together because "I" don't think they are good for each other. 😳

I think that is the kind of emotion or argument which leads some fans to believe that their favourite star is only suitable for them and then do the kind of stuff your cousin did Pari. I remember there was an 11 (or so) year old girl on RKF who called herself "Neetu Kapoor's underage Bahu" and the other Ranbir fans encouraged her and told her stuff like "age doesn't matter" and all we have to do is meet Ranbir and then we could convince him to dump Deepika for one of us. Some of them might have been joking but a lot of them seemed serious.
