Classic bullies attacking a newcomer - Page 32

Thanks for a balanced post. I agree, he didn't handle it well. But there might be more truth in it what it seems. Sanaya said during IPK that she wants her next show to be with her bf and her bf auditioned for both Arnav and this role. He has been out of work for about two years now, save one little stunt in a show where he dropped out. So she is probably worried about him and Farhan probably picked that up.

He is bitter. I was thinking him immature at first but given the number of attacks and threats to him, you can see why. It is a classic case of internet bullying.

As I understand your post, you are against cyberbullying of any person be it a celeb or otherwise... point well taken.

I for one have decided not to comment anymore about this ongoing drama, which to great extent is being promoted by some irresponsible websites more than the actual players. It is a total "he said, she said" argument with none of us knowing what actually happened on the sets. Most of us have come to our conclusions based on our biases, prejudices, likes and dislikes, and that includes me.

That said, the reason I am writing here is because about what you wrote above, from the two or three interviews Sanaya gave during start of the show she said that Mohit giving auditions and not being selected for Chhanchhan is no big deal and four of her other friends too gave auditions, but nobody talks of them. Giving auditions is normal part of their life and it is not expected to be selected each time. During launch meet interview she was again asked about Mohit and said that she has no idea when she will work with Mohit next and is not particularly looking out for it. I can google the link of her newspaper interview.

The reason I am emphasising that is because this where I feel either TC or Farhan have gone overboard in their comments on Sanaya. I included TC because of their tendency of over exaggerated reporting. If Farhan said this he has crossed a line, and questioned the professionalism of Sanaya and brings in an angle of personal agenda of having him out of the project. TC again brought this up in their questioning of Anuj today, so by repeating something they they are trying to make a speculation or a figment of imagination a fact.

Sanaya to my knowledge never said she wanted Mohit in this show, whenever the topic was brought by the interviewer, she brushed it off by saying it is no big deal. Saying she would like to work with her BF in a project in future and lobbying for it are different. The later is not very professional or ethical and that is being insinuated by TC or Farhan.

Many actors say that they look for opportunities to work with their partners, but that does not make them unprofessional if they are not forcing producers to sign their favourites.

I am against abusive comments about celebrities as well as about members of forums, so in that sense I support your post, but I have my own opinions on where I stand on this off screen drama.

Mary Barton,

I am glad to see there are still some responsible and reasonable people still in India forums.

I never watched this show so don't know anything about it but out of curiosity I read that article by FK. I was so shocked to see the abusive, and cyber bullying contents of the majority of the commenters. Do they actually think the stars they are supporting would thank them for this? those people are more concerned about making sure their reputation remains intact!

I even wrote a post saying everyone is new at something once.

As a writer, I've gotta to ask this: How much credence are the fans of SI putting into that article? sadly many journalist do 'sensational journalism' rather than the truth. Adding spice, if you like. I read the article and to be honest, even thinking critically, he did not bad mouth anyone, he was honest. What people did was infer and this is due to the style of writing. I like your analogy of office work - not everyone in an office get along or are best buddies so why not in a film set?

So I will urge everyone, no matter what you read, consider everything in a balance manner. Especially when it comes to Stars - does anyone know these people personally? we can all stand from a distance and throw stones, makes comments that draw blood but unless you know them so well it is always best to use the middle ground.

Without knowing anything, I was automatically on the side of the underdog. this man did not deserve the kind of backlash - all unreasonable, may I point out. It also draws attention to the kind of people that use India forum. Not good at all.

Even top celebrities are being cyberbullied and abused with hate comments and death speech I seen alot of similar things being said about Sanaya through Farhan fan MID. Actors like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, SRK They been through worst. A wrestler like John Cena has taken alot of abuse been said about him face to face and it hasn't effected him he's still here a movie star and a wrestler both. Farhan isn't the first here I know it's wrong but nothing can be done about it. If he wants to be a popular star he has to learn to take whatever is dished out and not let them effect him.

Really??? He didn't say anything bad? He didn't attack Sanaya personally? I am pretty sure you are conveniently basing your post on the TOI, HT and IF interviews. Those are just the tonned down versions of what he has actually said about Sanaya. Have you read the TC interview? If you have read it and you still support FK, I am sorry to say I don't think you should call yourself a Sanaya fan. Cause if you were a fan, you would know that Sanaya has been very helpful towards FK in the beginning, no matter what happened later. He had even said that she is a very nice person and very co-operative in initial interviews. How come he has changed his statements? In the interview he has directly attacked her saying that Sanaya didn't like him from the beginning as he was chosen over Mohit. If that was the case, why did Sanaya plead with her fans to give Farhan a chance? Have you even seen those interviews? Either you haven't done your research properly, or you are biased against Sanaya, or you feel it is some moral obligation to be the saviour of a person who has no support...whether guilty or not. I don't know your reasons.

I for one supported Farhan till the end and always said he is working hard and improving, not knowing what was going on behind scenes. I know some fans are really going overboard, which is not at all necessary. But Farhan has now behaved in a very despicable manner and I have lost all respect for him. I can't imagine you who calls yourself a Sanaya fan, saying that he hasn't done anything wrong. Rather, it looks like you are just an IPKKND fan, not a Sanaya fan. You call Dheeraj a bully? Just because he told the truth? Yes, maybe they laughed at him behind his back. But the thing that doomed Farhan was his ego. Those who have one like that never want to take advice and never learn. And does Farhan's behaviour make you feel like he is from a good family :P LOL He has brought shame to his family. I feel sorry for them and hope they are more dignified than him. My biggest regret is that I supported him inspite of all odds.
