Lets leave India and Indian Mentality out of the topic. I am not such a die hard patriotic but this can again start US Vs India war like we had in SRK detention topic. It will be ironic then that the topic is about treatment to ppl and the countries/mentality are dragged into it...😆...Every country has its good and bad points..

I agree lets not turn this topic into another fight by making generalized statements and talking about Indian Mentality.

Desigal, good topic its true this forum is not what it used to be. There used to be a time where fun lively discussions took place, members got along but these days things just get too personal and the entire atmosphere is ruined. There are members who have left because of this. I am sick of the negativity too.

In every epic fan wars battle, there will be a time when both sides will suddenly realize that amidst their petty war mongering and one upmanship, there is really bigger fish to fry, more ominous and sinister threats to battle.

I think for me the difference is that many people who call themselves "fans" seem to have an almost 11 year old level of objectivity so I mentally dismiss them as credulous fools who WANT to be lied to, or WANT some person who is merely a human being in a job with a high public recognition factor to be "perfect" so as to prove the wisdom of their taste.

No damned actor is "perfect" least of all because I like them in a movie or think they are cute! Jesus, people have FAMILY MEMBERS who turn out to have feet of clay and secrets so why in HELL would anyone be so damned invested in pretending or believing that someone else, just because they sing pretty or look good under the right lighting and with the right makeup NEVER MAKES A MISTAKE????

Are they kidding? Are they KIDS? Are they really stupid and really sheltered adults?

By the same token I dismiss cynics who seem to just take delight in picking apart certain actors. Yes, there are some actors who do things so far beyond the pale that they automatically become objects of loathing---Shiney Ahuja for one, though somehow Salman's PR machine saved him from the consequences of some pretty heinous crap.

As for people who intentionally try to be hurtful and insulting to fellow posters who don't share their views----well that's the kind of ignorant thinking that leads to stringent secrurity measures in airports. The world is full of opinions. Deal with it and move forward.

Still at least the cynics have a grasp on a basic reality of human life---we're ALL fallible. I consider myself a fan---for want of a better word---of SRK but the man is human and unless he can walk across my bathwater I hardly think that every PR story about him is the gospel truth and worshipping human beings is for dogs. Sorry but that's not my role in life, I don't care HOW good the man looked in Devdas, so it's all about a certain objectivity mixed with the worship. If a fan can do THAT---or is willing to do it---I respect 'em. Otherwise, I really don't give a rats ass about creating a celebrity centered religion.

I agree! I have seen so many members waxing eloquent about certain stars and then all of a sudden they will be behaving like they are not affected by the celebrity status. Atleast the fans here are not hypocrites and don't mind declaring their loyalty to one star, even if it makes them look silly!

I would anyday prefer a Desigirl and her obsession with Saif and Kareena over some smart-ass cynic who writes that she doesn't care about Salman Khan and then sneaks to watch Ready or Dabaang!

I do not think cynics are given a higher pedestral..it is do with the sort of person you are..many people in the past have tried to provoke me by getting really rude with me and bashing the celebrities I like..but I kept my calm..and now the very same people are my friends..everyone has the right to say what they feel about a celebrity..it gets annoying when one cannot take criticism against their fav celebrity and in defence start getting rude and personal with members! one is allowed to be a fan or a cynic..there is no problem with that..it depends on how one deals with the situation they are in..
