Depends..
How much a person knows about the celeb's offscreen persona..
Earlier I was okay with almost every actor, but since I got quite regular on social media like IF and twitter, it has become hard for me to like a few celebrities.
For eg: If I start watching a series and I like the actor, I start googling him/her and dig out everything about that celeb 😆 This habbit of mine has led me to despise many of the actors and quit watching the series altogether... It does change my perception towards them, unless they are really really good actors..
But many of my friends who are not so social media savvy, they go to watch a muvi, solely based on the reviews.. they don't know much about a celeb's offscreen persona.. Like what Tamasha has been happening for Tamasha's promotions... Ranbir's dead zombie like attititude these days or the numerous blinds that come out etc. etc. They just know a few things upar upar se, which don't affect their decision to watch a muvi or not...

personally, yeah to an extent..
I used to be a huge RK fan when he started out, even chose to watch a Saawariya FDFS..and defended that movie too in front of grumbling friends😆 and that phase of not missing any RK movie continued till Rockstar..

but his personal life related news overtaking everything else, made me a non fan, also I just duno why, it shouldnt be that way, but the respect I had for him as an actor, too got affected😕

++++++++++
same goes with Deepu, I had a semi girl crush on her during RL days..she used to look amazing then and she was the best thing about CE for me..but her obnoxious IVs, cleavage controversy and whitewashing of face..put me off totally..enough to even make me a basher at times..

++++++++++
next up on the list is definitely Kangana..powerhouse actress she is..but her I, me, myself Jaap absolutely sucks! Annoyance levels are definitely ticking high..

that said, Its not that I wont watch their movies..I still will..but just as a non-fan/ indifferent person..

I personally like celebs for the work they do. Their off-screen persona I can't figure out is genuine or fake for camera.
Only SRK-Kajol I love genuinely for their on-screen as well as off-screen persona. Also Salman I find is good at what he does and keeping his cases aside he is genuine.
SRK Kajol Salman they show their likes and dislikes without mincing it. Prefer them over goody goody celebs.

I was affected once. When Amir broke up with his first wife. Don't know whether it was due to his image or movie feel, I did not watch Mangal Pandey. But 3 idiot movie was good. I started to look for his movies again.
A good movie will overpower all the personal prejudices we have against an actor, like BB. One can say that for a badly done movie too. A good personal image of an actor cannot lift a sinking ship.

Not good to use Salman as an example.
He has been in the industry for decades. Known prior to the accident and had many years to gain fans.

Compared to an actor who recently debuted. Had a bad past and no significant fan base to support him.

I do not think he would survive long unless his acting in movies are exceptional and make you forget who that actor is IRL

Being mysterious and elusive won't work anymore. Case in point Katrina and Ranbir.

They ain't mysterious or elusive.

Good example would be Aditya Roy Kapor. God knows where he is.

I was so smitten by some actors because of their onscreen characters on those TV series but later when I watched their interviews and found out about them,it did make a huge difference.One example is Matt Bomer from White Collar TV Series. I watched 2 seasons without any knowledge of who he was. Then my curiosity led me to google him and boom, I have never been so disappointed...After that I was less interested to watch further seasons.

Yeah , i think it does affect. I don't find Varun too good onscreen but his off screen persona makes up for it. Some have the right balance like SRK and Salman. They are charming onscreen as well as off screen, I think that's what makes them such huge superstars.

What's wrong with Matt??
I mean what did you find out?? Did he do something bad??
Now I'm just all curious.
