"Blinders" about Blinds

Let me start by saying, I don't support blind items. Though many blind items have actually turned out to be true, there are probably many more that are false. There is no way for anyone to ascertain which ones are true so it's basically up to the reader to decide which ones they believe. However, I do feel that making serious allegations about a person in a blind is unethical because the accused does not have a chance to defend themselves. I think the journalists should just print whatever they have to say openly and ethically.

That being said, blinds are written about EVERY actor in the industry , whether insider or outsider. It's being going on since ages. Even before the online websites, the film magazines and news papers had their version of the blind items. It's common in the west as well. So it's not a Bollywood specific phenomena and definitely NOT an outsider specific phenomena. So I am surprised that people are suddenly claiming that only outsiders have blinds about them and that Sushant had the WORST blinds written about him. That's absolutely not true.

Baring the "me too" allegation, other allegations against him were pretty routine for actors. Unprofessional behavior, affairs, partying etc are almost recycled and printed for every actor. Both the RKs had drug addict allegations against them, Salman, Govinda have unprofessional behavior blinds all the time, so many blinds are made on actresses sleeping to get a role, almost all married actors have ad blinds about affairs and one night stands. there have been multiple blinds about Dharma being bankrupt and not having money to finish Brahmastra, the Bachchan's have some of the nastiest blinds written about them, etc etc.

Basically every actor in the industry have to deal with them.

So why are people ONLY outraged about blinds against Sushant or outsiders? Sushant's blinds are hardly the worst ones out there. Why are people not questioning blinds about the so called "insiders"?? Does it not matter if their reputation is tarnished in blinds?? Or is reputation and mental health only applicable to outsiders? Why the selective outrage??

That's probably because all the blinds on so called biggies had some sort of fire and seed. Amir did call salmaan unprofessional/problematic during andaaz apna apna.

Rekha did give statements (rather strong) about Amitabh Bachchan.

Rishi Kapoor indeed was an alcoholic. He had admitted it himself.

All In all , as much as blinds are unfair and uncalled for , most of them for these people were exaggerated versions of what they actually did in real life.

As far as Sushant is concerned , all.. all allegations have been buffed out. He wasn't arrogant. Wasn't rude. Wasn't a problematic star on set. Wasn't a difficult person to work with and certainly not a sexual harrass(er). Claimed by *all* the stars he has worked with.

It's not like he was some God's child to have no bad qualities. But since you compared the blinds of his with others.

Blinds should never be taken seriously by the readers. And now that there's a possibility of it being a reason for someone's deteriorating mental health and a plausible suicide , theese should be banned.

because i have to prove that bollywood is one of the reason Sushant took his life.

There have been blinds about everyone. Sometimes they might be planted by other people in the industry but I think many times it's just the papers and websites making stuff up themselves. They know people are gossip hounds and will definitely click on them. It's an easy way to invent something juicy and get a lot of hits which helps them sell advertising and make money.

I see people using old gossip and blinds all the time to malign people they don't like. They have even forgotten that it's stuff that came from blinds. They believe that gossip to be canon now and talk about it as if it's a fact. Many of them are now supposedly Sushant fans and fighting for his honor. I mean.. nobody forgot what you used to do and still do to other actors.

Sushant wasn't the only one that had a #metoo blind. There were ones like that for Akshay too and they even wrote that he paid off the woman to hide it. It's also said that Ajay and Sanjay Dutt sleep around and take advantage of unimportant women on the set or in the crew. There are affair rumors constantly about married actors. There are blinds even about D-listers like Urvashi Rautela and how she sleeps around with old men like Rakesh Roshan and Shakti Kapoor.

There were blinds that Dharma is bankrupt. I had recently seen the same bankruptcy types of blinds about Ekta Kapoor and Balaji too. There were blinds that they don't pay employees and are unprofessional.

I agree venomous garbage needs to end. Alot of venom in this clip

@Bold - Not true at all. That's a gross generalization. What's the seed for the "Amitabh is Aradhya's father" blind?? Or the Alia is Pooja Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt's daughter blind?? Or the Ayan sniffs RKs chaddi blind? Or Ranveer sniffs drugs in the bathroom blind?? I mean there are so many nasty blinds about the bollywood biggies as well.

So you can easily believe that blinds about insiders have some level of truth to them but then all blinds about outsiders are completely false???

Do post the links of the blinds done on Rkr , Ayushman and Kartik in the last 2 - 3 years. I will post the ones on Sushant . Lets count and see for ourselves.

Can you please post links to the above blinds? Thanks :)

Great, now a barrage of blinds are to be tolerated threads

Blinds are blinds because the so-called journalists lack evidence to present them as news and don't want to get sued for naming names.

If they have evidence, do what responsible journalists do. Check facts and publish news, not gossip.

If you don't have evidence, don't publish.

Regardless of who it's against, the above is true.

Regarding outsider vs. Insider: outsiders lack the resources, the emotional support, and the know how in dealing with the blinds. It's therefore easier to use blinds to bully and harass and eventually, get rid of an outsider regarded as competitor than an insider.

But again, people who don't want to see will not see.

No. Not at all!

Infact , I said no blinds should be taken seriously or rather, should be banned.

And there's absolutely no truth in BigB being Aradhya's father. That pure bullshit. But the uncountable articles on amitabh and rekha were resultant of Rekha's weird statements.

My only intension was , some of the blinds of these biggies had a history. Ofcourse there are numerous others which are pure idiotic.. but some though untrue had a point of reference.

Whereas (and I am only talking about Sushant. No insider outsider stuff.) His were all rebuffed. In a career of 6-7 yrs, there were hardly (I could count them on my single hand) articles that praised him and many.. literally many articles that defamed him in all aspects!!

He wasn't appreciated or infact, recognised for his performance , but everyone know who the skirt-chaser was.

Also, a blind is a blind! How is it a matter of outsider or insider!

Sushant is dead. No matter how crude it sounds, that's the reality. And yet it is asked why his blinds are taken seriously is making statement on its own.

Kai Po Che got no recognition whatsoever.

His career best performance in dhoni was said *it got hit due to Dhoni himself* hence no credit to the performer.

Kedarnath ofcourse had sara Ali Khan , so no surprises there on who took the cake , Baker , and bakery!

Chichore was Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari 's movie ! That was the sop!

And all these were superhits with Sushant as lead but nobody cared.

You do know though who is over-hyped outsider

Or a skirt-chaser.

For them , blinds <<< praiseworthy articles.

How are these two scenarios compared??
