Problem with Indian Mentality(specially india forums)

Originally posted by: raj.

Priyanka and Deepika are trying to make a name for themselves and also trying to have a long term career and sadly that is not possible in Bollywood after a certain age. The uneducated people of India call actresses post 32(or even 30),buddhi, aunty and what not. The Educated ones are no different, they also have the same mentality and so does the media.It has happened to every big actress ,does not matter how talented or good at work they are. Ofcourse, the actresses can work in niche films or small budget films but the plum roles wont go to them.

In this scenario, if they are restarting their career, why are people(especially Indians) trying to pull them down or calling them wannabes and desperate flopstars? Atleast ,its better to be struggling than to be out of work in India.

Lastly, why are the people on this form so sardonic and cynical? Why do they revel in someone's failure? Why are they happy when someone fails? Is it because their own lives are flop? Do they derive vicarious and sadistic pleasure from someone else's failure because life has been harsh to them and they could not do anything about it ?

I'll tell you what it is .. PC and DP fans will remain so irrespective of the actors staying in HW or BW. The non-fans just need an excuse to speak shit.

That's how it is for all the actors.

The truth is some people speak sarcastic stuff just for the sake of fun but some others actually speak it out of bitterness of their existence maybe.

But if you really think about it .. the actors are just another sort of professionals .. is it fair that they gather much more limelight than they deserve? There are more important causes in this country that can use the attention and the money. Yes, the money .. it is a bit too much that these guys get paid. So, overall the point I am trying to put across is -- agreed that there is too much negativity from the non-fans but then there is similar level of over indulgence and attention/money/power/influence etc. and all the advantages that an actor gets for honestly no rhyme or reason. They don't do any path-breaking or socially uplifting work that this society upholds them so much.

Age is just another factor that is used in negative light when people want it used for that. As for the female actors not getting work after a certain age, I guess that myth is already been broken for the past few years. Ash, Vidya, Kareena, even Madhuri, Sridevi have all been given opportunities. Some were able to make it at BO, some not. The ones who can't get good BO will of course not be approached by as many film makers. That holds good for men too.
