Its the same old forum nothing much has really changed except for Star B being bashed instead of star A. Ofcourse if one is a fan of Star B then its a huge problem. Kat hunting season is currently on.Welcome back ;)

Nice topic 😊

Basically none of the fan girls can ever take criticism (desigal excepted 😉) and they just label it "bashing"; girls, there is a DIFFERENCE. I mean really its normal to be a bit biased towards your favourite and that's completely okay but really these actors aren't Gods, they are normal human beings with FLAWS just like you and me. YES real bashers do exist on this forum but really, dont confuse criticism with bashing.

I mean if I feel PC got a nose job AND it's so damn obvious in the pics, then really, am I bashing PC? If I feel Kat cant act for life then how is that bashing? but nooooo, people cant understand that. There's not a single actress currently that I love or hate in bollywood so I don't ever intend to put someone down or praise them till my throat is sore.

Anyhoo, although I feel these forums changed a lot, I still come back to them, I guess I'm addicted. 😃 Glad to see you're back Zainab, I remember your posts, they were fun to read.


I just have to emphasize how much I agree with this 😆 Any type of criticism is considered bashing in this forum by the fans. If I feel someone can't act, I'm gonna say it. But that isn't a personal attack at all. In fact, there might be other qualities about the actor I might like but those just aren't the topic of discussion at the moment.

Ah man, I want to reply to all of the replies (which I will), 'cept I have an exam tomorrow which I will probably not do so good at anyways, but I may as well pretend to study and make myself feel good.
The reason why back then there was so much friction, and the reason why there's still that friction is cuz somewhere most of us consider the criticism for our favs directly at us. At times it's intentional (:P), and at times, it really is not. I may write off Katrina Kaif or Shah Rukh Khan but fan X may consider that to be 'personal' remarks against him or her, and then begins the series of battles. Hehe. Fun too, if taken in the right way I guess. Bollywood has become too boring/predictable for me all of a sudden too...what was my last full film?...Three Idiots...and I still speak of these ppz as if I go thru the sheer torture of watching every flick of theirs. 😆

I agree about some fans take criticism as bashing, there is a difference! If you don't like an actress in the film, thatz considered bashing to some fans! Some fans on here are way to sensitive and don't take criticism when it comes to their favorite very well!

Am reading here a lot of ppl saying kareena fans are bashing PC! WHat about PC fans? I have seen many times PC fans making sarcastic comments going for kareena to make Priyanka look good in their posts when the topic has nothing to do with kareena! I think these are the kind of things that starts fights and should stop! Not only kareena fans bash on PC, PC fans do it too! We are all guilty, no one is a saint on here lol! So if we all stop making sarcastic comments and giving criticism on every post of PC and kareena, than we can all get along on this forum! Simple as that! Everything doesn't have to be a fan war!

Zainab, totally random but where is your avi and siggy from?

Welcome back :) I think everyone has said everything already plus I am not that consistent of a member to really tell you exactly what is going on.

You already know that critism will still go on the same goes for instigating posts - remarks - bashing topics and so on.....
Nobody says there are saints and there are devils....**
Some say that it's just freaking annoyingly repetitive....Debate & hot topics are wayy better than that....
And as Aish would say IF worths it....
I understand that some argue some debate some discuss some agree and oher disagree...but the whole war in every topic is useless and pretty stupid.....
and for the same reason over & over to make look good a fve - just put down the current rival..that's like so silly.....
Ok some members may be involved in one or two fights but every recent fight is a bit too much...some self control is needed...and healthy discussion should be encouraged....
Nobody asks anyone else to be perfect --- but just stop encouraging supid fights over & over the same stupid actresses who don't give a da*n about the fact you guys defend them on a forum....
composure & temperance
Peace ^^

Nice topic, Zainab!

Most members who get into these massive bouts of 'Fangiri' are people who have precious little to do and hence try to live their own lives by demonizing and demigodification of their favorite and not so favorite actors!

I really don't read these fan-war posts, they run into too many pages and are basically pointless, because they always get closed in the end! 😕

But I would like to think that the tempo of the forum has cooled down considerably...last year I do remember reading some very nasty war of words regarding Shahid / Saif / Kareena / Priyanka / SRK / Salman / Aamir, between the fans! One would assume that the members spending so much of time taking out quotes by their favorites and spending hours defending them are being paid by the actors in question!

Also, since this is the Internet, people who normally won't be so voluble and aggressive in real life seem to view the forum as the perfect place to express themselves and go to exasperating lengths to state their POV's (but mostly to prove others wrong!) 😉😆

In my opinion, no actors are worth fighting for in this manner...the forum would be much cooler and more fun if people didn't get into groups and get personal and start bashing other actors and forum members!

On another note, there are a few members who post interesting bits and open topics that are worth spending time on!
PS : I would have shamelessly turned into a full time fan-girl for my favorite actor, Aamir Khan, but the guy has turned from a principled actor slash underdog to a shrewd marketing genius slash industry favorite, who makes sure that all his films are a superhit just by virtue of his presence! All the other actors seem to have unpaid minions standing up for them in the virtual world, so I am searching for someone in bollywood who might need my free ki fangiri for himself / herself! 😉😆

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? 😕

I totally agree with this whole post! Well said 👏
