Pratiksha one never blames or doubts the capabilities of any actor or actress on such grounds as you have cited. Give the proper script and chance and if they have not made the best possible use of it, only then you could blame them. Many of us initially had several doubts regarding SBP during her initial days in CN. I was one of them but I changed my opinion. I like her as much as I do Rajat now on CN.
Till now Rajat has been playing these larger than life characters pretty often. The roles or the directors must have required OTT acting from him on many occasions. So unless he makes a bad job out of a good script and an excellent and sensitive director, I really wouldn't be judging anything about his capabilities. When the guy makes people notice and appreciate with so-so scripts and melodramatic directors, he wouldn't make a bad job out of a good and talented director and an excellent script. He would be up to that challenge as well.
Regarding modesty, pride, ego, confidence, over-confidence, they are all very relative terms. What appears modesty for one person appears egotistical for another, confidence, self-belief, self-esteem, as overconfidence, pride, over reaching mentality for another. Generally we tend to form opinions about people based on what we see or what we are insidiously shown. But sometimes, the actual person could be very different.
What I interpret, or what you interpret out of the same set of circumstances might be radically different. And a number of things which come in news articles or reports cannot be taken very seriously. They could be just attention seeking tactics. Throw mud on a famous actor, you become famous.

Just adding my opinion to this interesting thread on RT s future career possibilities. Even though I am a fan of Rajat, I would want to say here , and I am sure will be hated by a lot of forum members here for saying this, I don't think Rajat has really shown the potential to become a full fledged movie actor as yet. Now I do accept he has variety and range, but I really dont see him succeed in the movie business. In my opinion, he goes over the top in a lot of his scenes, soemthing which is called hamming. Serials focus a lot on close up, which is why his body language is not seen, and body language of RT is ok if you consider other actors in serials of today (who are mostly OTT non actors) but are we really pitting him against Sushant Singh Rajput and Rajiv Khandelwal? Sushant Singh Rajput was actually a rarity on indian tv in Pavitra Rishta with his subtle acting approach with no hamming whatsoever. In his crossover to movies also he has proved himself with amazing amazing acting in Kai piche, Byomkesh Bakshy & MSD. As for Rajiv Khandelwal, he was also quite credible in movies like Aamir and Table No. 21. Whether or not Khandelwal succeeded further that put aside, I really really cannot compare Rajat to these 2 serial actors and say Rajat is there yet, I am sorry but thats true, atleast now.
One another very important thing about Rajat Tokas is his reputation of being difficult, egoistic and full of himself. It is not even reputation, it is pretty much visible with his consistently arrogant and wierd behaviour in all interviews. Now his fans might defend him (me being one of them) with blind love for him, but frankly that kind of attitude does not do good for an actor s PR and no one is going to give a shit about him in the movie industry with an attitude like that, esp when he is no star kid and no resume other than ekta kapoor serials to boast about.
As far as looks are concerned his boyish charms and good face is the best thing about him, but again a full frame exposes the short height and his personality takes a hit. With the new crop of young actors on the scene and so much competition it is a little bit of a wishful thinking we are doing if we think ot is so easy for RT to make it in movies. But ofcourse he is all of 25 years , he has time I guess, if he works hard may be he can break the ice. Personally I think he starts doing theatre it will help him. But with his schedule how much time the poor boy can get. Being a fan I also wish all good things for him but currently I dont see him in the movies becoming a hit.
