Do you think any Bollywood actors view this forum? - Page 9

I joined this forum way back in 2006.At that time, this was not that popular website.My first forum was kasam se forum.U know what,in those days,there were not many members and most of them were matured people who were above 25 or 30.There were not much teenagers in the site at that time so there was no fangirling,no such posts like "oh he looks so hot","Omg he touched her there","Omg he kissed her",etc.,etc.,u know like how typical fangirls post.Very interesting discussions,episode analysis,characters analysis (even the supporting actors) used to take place.And the mods were unbiased and efficient mods.They were pretty strict with the rules and we're quite active too,unlike today's mods who almost disappear soon after they are elected.

Then slowly it's popularity started rising.Many members started joining which included these teenage boys and gals and early 20s age group people who literally polluted the whole site with their fangirling and fanboying,who couldn't tolerate a single word against their favorites and would start cursing the members and even their families. Somehow even the mods and to some extent even Vijay started supporting these fangals and boys because they were large in number.

Being a member of this site for 10 years,everything has changed in these past 10 years.Today I feel this site has become more celeb friendly.

Regarding ur question of how it all started, I heard Vijay,the site admin was a big fan of jassi jaisi koi nahi and initially started it out as a blog to discuss the show. Then slowly he added many more forums for all the shows.

@ Pallavi, I really agree. KYPH was really bold for its time. The consummation scenes were too intimate. And they also showed butt slapping. 😆

It's been bearable only b'coz of the lead's chemistry. KYPH is the only show I followed very religiously. I remember the craze over the show. We used to discuss it during lunch breaks in school. 😆

The forum drama must had been really fun. I wish I was there to witness such drama. 😛

When all this TV show discussions began on India Forums mainly during the era of kaisa yeh pyaar hai, i just waanna ask of there are old memebers here, how was it before? I mean social media had started long before but it was not that used by people like its today.Like even a brand like facebook and its users in india in 2005 were quite good but it was not a rage...so how come a tv gossip website draw so many people into it? I mean if pooja gor, iqbal khan were interacting, it might because this fan-star interaction via social media was relatively new at that time.

Now since 7-8 years all celebs have twitter account to post their comments, views.No need of IF to present views.

Now about Bollywood stars following IF. I feel look

in 90's and early 2000;s many pop albums like daler mehndi, alisha chinoi, T series heart break wala sonu nigam albums came and gave stiff competition to sales of hindi film songs. But now no private albums sustained.Hindi film songs still running.Bollywood unaffected.

Again 2000;s era with the success of balaji in Tv industry many Film actors started doing fiction shows like karishma, raveena , sridevi did lead roles in fiction shows. Other bollywood actors took reality shows and are still doing. But the charm of bollywood didnt fade

Now TV channels are concerned as web series are going to be the next thing, but still bollywood is always at most preferred entertaintment choice.

So no guranteee about future of Tv and web series ahead. So IndiaForums i found these days are very much focussing on projecting itself as a bollywood site more than Tv news gossip site by emphasizing more fiilm industry exclusive news and events , just to be like pinkvilla and missmalini. No gurantee if Tv serials will draw more public ahead or not. and Tv serials are rozi roti of India forums now. So transforming and it requires bollywood support.

But hatsoff to India Forums that it is still attracting a lot of Tv and some good amount of bollywood fans.

i would love to know how this all started. I mean which was the first TV show in India forums which was hugely discussed?

No, Amit Tandon wasnt married back then, he got married to his US doctor girfriend after the show ended. His first girlfriend died in 9/11 Twin towers attack. Amit is originally from US, he went to India to become a famous singer/actor, he was contestant in Indian Idol 1, was one of the finalists, then Ekta offered him Angad's role as he was a singer, first but then he was given Prithvi's role and Iqbal did Angad's role.
