A disturbing trend

I have been very disturbed to see a lot of Avina's personal pictures splashed on a public forum like this. Granted these pictures are not damaging or demeaning nonetheless they are their private pictures. It is one thing to post pictures of their public appearances or from the sets. I am not pointing my finger only at the members who recently posted the pics, when I say that a true fan would not go about stealing their pictures by getting a back door entry into their FB accounts. This trend started few months back when I noticed some fans from this forum (you know who you are) and many others were getting on the FB accounts of Avina's co actors and friends (I wonder why they accept people they don't even know on their friends list) and some private pictures started leaking out. I immediately alerted Avi about it and he promptly had those set of pictures deleted. Thankfully the person who leaked those set of pictures had the decency to not splash some extremely private pictures taken in their home and other places. Hopefully they will not make an appearance on this or any other public forums ever.
Avina are very young and still very innocent and immature about certain things. They are not savvy about internet privacy and do not have the time to do much about it. I don't think they understand the consequences of the digital footprints they leave behind I have been in touch with Avi but it is hard to help when I am half a world away and he is so busy. From my brief interaction with him, he comes across as a genuinely nice, hardworking person. and I want to do whatever I can to help him.
I know many of you may not agree with my views and may even want to throw brickbats at me because you enjoy looking at those pictures. But as a genuine well wisher of Avina I thought the least I can do is to discourage this trend by voicing my opinion.
I hope atleast some of you agree with me and if you don't I would love to hear your views.

Its one thing when a poster takes permission to use/post a private picture of an actor and explicitly states so when posting, but its disturbing when people don't respect privacy and just go about posting pictures without permission.

I absolutely agree with you....... both the parties are at "fault". That is why when it started a few months back I did not blame the posters, instead I alerted Avi.
As you said internet security should not be taken lightly and the digital footprint you leave behind is virtually ineraseable . But for an impulsive 20 something who is high on success and fame it is not easy to comprehend.
This post was not meant to put a blame on any individuals. I was merely bringing attention to the trend and trying to get atleast a few members to join me in discouraging those that are tempted to do these things. But judging from the lack of response I think most people see no problem in this.😲

I totally agree with you 100%. It is sad to see it happen, once i saw a post with Avi's cell number on it. I think if we are fans we need to definitely respect their privacy. These are young kids with absolutely no time for a personal life and in the midst of that to have fans attack them from all sides. This is just uncalled for. I love the actors and hopefully would like to meet them some time in my life but definitely do not like to see their personal life being published all over. Some time ago we also got to see some pics of Rubina with her family. I felt really bad as am sure someone she knew close must have leaked those. They need their space and and respect their privacy. I think as fans we need to give them that.

AvinaPal... I did not post earlier bcos I agreed with you ... in general, it would be great if we avoided peeping into Avina's personal life.

However, people on this forum are genuine fans and do not do this with a malicious intent. While we should stay away from encouraging these kind of posts, Avina should also be careful abt what they put up on the internet. They are young but I hope they have someone advising them against posting personal pics that they do not want others to see, esp on Facebook. Since they have achieved a fair amt of success in a short period of time, it may be hard for them to deal with but they do need to be aware of this

While members on this forum are mostly genuine and are true Avina fans and excited to see something abt them, some of these pics could be used or pulled up by other sites or other people with a malicious intent. I would say that the responsibility for this is at both ends ... they should not put up anything on the internet that they want to keep private and we should discourage those kind of posts

Avinapal, it's not that poeple don't see a problem with what you posted about, it's just that the argument is a bit complicated. How can we decide who is to blame who is right and who is wrong?

I do believe that those picture were at the private party and only for the personal friends... but these have been out for quite a while and been on the internet all these time.

AvinaPal.. here is an important lesson for not just celebrities but also for any average person.

My personal opinion is if you as poster have posted pictures and accept any person as a friend, you are asking for it. Don't blame the people who are posting on this forum. Your privacy is in your control.

You wanted to be an actor, you wanted fame.. now you have it, this is the flip side of fame... If someone breaks into their house and takes a picture, that is against the law and crosses the line... but if the celebrity has posted the pictures in public forum, then yes, it is public property... just today it is plastered all over that Sandra Bullocks hubby cheated on her with some tattooed stripper.. if Sandra Bullock was some middle aged lady is some suburb, yes it is heartbreaking for her, but the whole world won't know about your humiliation.. that your hubby preferred some skank to you... you give up your right to privacy as soon as you step into limelight, you can't have your cake and eat it too...

I am sorry but that is the reality.. if Avinash didn't want pics of him with hookha or bong to come out, then he shouldn't have posted it... it is that simple...

This post seems to me very touching and irritating....both.... since we all love our favourite actors Avina.Avinapal....I am not agree with you all the way...specially your blaming part.Don't wanna make any comments on this.
