Hmm, so far topic seems to being doing well. Hopefully it will stay that way. Just don't pick on ir call out fan groups in a derogatory manner.

Having said, that, my scattered thoughts are as follows.

There is way too much misogyny on this forum, and sadly it is done by women. Sometimes I think, ok why not go pick on the actors (but please don't). Nowadays we have Priyanka on the burnt end, followed by Aishwarya/Katrina. However, most of them are usually at the burnt end.

We have asked members to co-exist, but unfortunately, that seems to be a very difficult task. There is so much subtle bashing going on that it's just ridiculous. We have too many fan-wars, and as mods we do try to stop them. However, it seems unending.

Nowadays we cannot have topics on actresses (read Priyanka and Kareena) going on for more than two pages without comparisons with other actresses. We just need to bring in the other ones in to make the former look better/worse.

I am not anyone's fan, so it is very frustrating for me to go into topics to give my views. I don't think Salman or Shahrukh are good actors, barring one or two of their movies. Aamir only has a handful of good performances. Kareena and Priyanka are so so in the acting department for me. I just don't post here. Most of my posts on this forum are warnings, which is pretty sad lol.

Maybe b/c of here, I have been put off Bollywood. Knowing too much about celebs can be a pretty bad thing lol. Oh well, I have my Korean entertainment lol.

Simranji you posted an essay without ending it with :Topic Closed. Nice change from the usual!😆 I kid....I kid.......

By the way, where did !! vanish....he/she was fun... what with the extra exclamation marks with an extra dose of everyday rant . 😕

Crystal: thanks, I usually come to IF when I'm frustrated, which seems to happen a lot ...so all my posts tend to be misogynistic at least for the most part....but if thats entertaining....then I did something right. LMAO.😆

I think we should just keep one day aside for bashing a particular actor/actress. This way PC/Katrina won't feel left out. 🤓

Hmm, I'm not really anyone's fan either so I generally tend to just give my opinion as it is. If I like Priyanka in a movie, I'll say so. If I didn't like her in a movie, I'll say that too. Same goes for Katrina and Kareena and whoever else is out there.

But as a non-fan, I definitely have observed one thing in this forum. People take any criticism against their favorite to heart which is a little disheartening because obviously, no one wants to hurt anybody's feelings here. But I'd really like to have the ability to say something about an actor without their fan-base attacking me simply because my views don't agree with theirs.

And I also do think that not every topic that has a comparison or a disagreement needs to be closed. Comparisons are but natural and without them, there just won't be any discussion at all. And maybe if disagreements were allowed to go on for a while, they'd sort themselves out. Again, this is purely my personal opinion, but it's a little stifling to know that anything controversial is going to be monitored strictly.

At the end of the day, I think everyone needs to just chill. I don't know about anyone else but I come on this forum to read some news (and lots of gossip 😳), have animated discussions, disagree, agree, make-up and really just have fun. There doesn't NEED to be any hatred or animosity between the fans of Kareena and Priyanka or Katrina or Salman or (insert name here), simply because they are competitors. Khao, piyo, aish karo yaar!

Ah, I see old habits die hard. 😆
I could see why Katrina would be butchered...because apparently every other actor *read: Priyanka, Kareena, Rani, Aish, Priety* is worthy of an Oscar, but Katrina dahling is stealing away their glory. Ufff.
Hrithik, I am not too sure how I feel of. If anything, he's a star living off of Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, casanova like image (?). I had heard he tweeted Kites being a mega - supa - block busta. Whateva makes you feel alright, Duggu, but I still regret spending my two dollars on the film.
Another strange yet highly amusing way to annoy the senteeeeementsz of fans was non other than Imran Khan. I still remember how first he was signed opposite Sona dahling, and it was blissful, but all hell broke lose when he was signed opposite Deepika dahling. Imran suddenly transformed from the wooden plank to a decent actor....
One fan creates 2 topics on the news of Imran - Deepika.
Sona fans go to secret hubs.
Two other topics are backfired on Sona - Imran's chemistry, biology.
The pattern continues. I do miss those days.

Haha!! Zainab, chances are you aint gonna remember me!! For one, my username has changed and I only interacted with you a couple of times...like a year ago LOL!! But I still remember you cuz it's hard to forget your posts 🤣 It's like Robin Hood and his bow and arrow....seedhe nishane par lagti hai 😉
Well, masaledar post indeed! Btw, I highlighted the Imran chemistry part to your post cuz at first I thought you were referring to Imran Abbas (got that impression cuz of your avi and siggy) I'm goin off track here but bloomin heck, he is mighty fine. Not to mention those piercing eyes ;)

My scattered thoughts as a member.....

It's awful being a fan of someone in any forum. I don't feel comfortable voicing my opinions because
1) it makes my favorites look bad at times...it's ok when other people say it and I take the criticism in my stride....but going out and saying what I truly feel....nope!
2) then i also can't voice my true opinions about others because it isn't like my favorites are perfect and saints
3) i don't want to upset anyone who are fans of other people and who I happen to like or virtual friends with. coz once you upset people they will send me nasty PMs or things I don't want to deal with especially in an online forum!
4) and once you are a fan of someone how do you disassociate from that identity and become a member with her own opinion and with no bias towards anyone? you actually can't!
5) If I defend my favorites almost always it looks like I am just blind....maybe I have a different perspective towards the same situation no?

And another point....there are some members who almost always will bash someone and then act like they are being non biased....seriously if you don't like someone you don't! what's the need for pretense? 😕

heyy...finally a zainab25 post!!...lol..dunt freak out...im not a stalker but i LOVE reading all ur posts...

well..everyones pretty much updated u with everything thats going on in the forum. The katrina wodden plank, cant act, yada yada thing is repeated in every topic where there is a mention of her with other actors.
Yep...rani, kajol, PC, priety, kareena are still hailed as desi Audery Hepburns.

oh and i thought hrithik did a pretty good job in JA and LBC(whtever lil role he had)...One flop is excusable yaar.....plus luks like hes done well in guzarish too...hopefully...

The most peaceful, sweet and loving topic has been the HDIL being human one, where all the fans got along (almost), without ripping each other's favs apart. The forum was previously flooded with RK-PC topics regarding their camaradrie, chemistry, ooh how sweet are they blah blah....now the baton has been shifted to deepika and Imran who i think luk perfectly ordinary...just like RK-PC did....i guess 2 good looking stars together is all that is needed to make ppl drool.

And last of all, im cribbing that there are not enough tabu/chitrangadha singh fans on this forum which makes me feel lonely!! :( seriously am i the only one???
