SRK - Page 16

There seems to be more females here who dislike SRK than those who like him.

The subject of the topic is drawing the ones who want to make the contradiction.

The demographics would be more even if the question was not loaded.

Yes, there is always a subconscious reason. However, when the conscious mind is unable to surface and express it - it is assumed that there is no reason. If I can't point a finger on why I like/dislike something - people will say I act without reason. The subconscious is not given as much regard - except in psychology and similar analysis. Thats my point - in conventionality many people appear to dislike without reason.

I get ur point.....but sometimes it might be that the person knows the reason of dislike but is not owning up....for example...I doubt any girl would say that 'I don't like Aishwarya because she is prettier than me'😆....when you ask her the reason for disliking she might just shrug her shoulders and say...I don't know why I don't like her and not tell you the actual reason...so appearances are deceptive..

Subconsciously, any reason could crop for dislike or like . No one will cite negative reasons like jealousy.(Side Note: I'll give men credit that they admit they like people/celebrities out of pure carnal lust. However, a lot of women have a hard time admitting to themselves that the like someone for pure carnal reasons nothing else.)

The point is we cannot assume jealousy to be a reason. Even subconsciously it usually is more of irritability and other reasons.

The primary reason when someone is jealous is when they aspire to have attributes like them and fall short. Now many men do like female attention and may feel jealous over it. However, typically men don't aspire to be cheesy or sugary romantic. Men may aspire for things like good body, material wealth, position of power etc. So if they genuinely feel a man lacks desirable qualities they are not jealous but more irritated or even feel completely nonchalant. Similarly with women, we want to look and feel beautiful. We may feel jealous over a woman more beautiful. However, women also aspire to be of good character, have personality, be likeable, be natural etc. So if we genuinely feel a woman lacks these desirable qualities we are not as jealous as we are irritated.

Another funny thing is that there is a fine line between jealousy and admiration. Men and women will actually start admiring people who have all qualities they aspire.

You probably have noticed I'm trying to intentionally steer away from the light heartedness and focus on the heavier stuff. So keep that in mind when you read my responses in this thread. I'm being intentionally oblivious to the light side. 😉

He has a lot of charm and character.

Aside from that, it bothers me to see someone fawning over his looks. I know there are a couple of them out there. Looks isn't his best asset. Heck, a guy friend of mine who works right next door looks better than him. It's his personality , the way he carries himself onscreen and his public etiquette that people like, I suppose. So, before saying that SRK is all that good looking, I suggest you to double check the definition of "good-looking".

and what is the definition of good looking??? Is there even one???
I am surprised when people try to impose their criterion of beauty on others.......Beauty is an abstract term.........it is not 2+2.......If there was a definition of good looking it would be the same worldwide...just like the laws of physics😆

The beauty pageants will have a different result everytime with different sets of judges..and the same set of contestants.....
A dark person is not beautiful per Indian standards but the same person will be beautiful in the west.....the concept of beauty has changed with time.....now thin is 'in'....there was a time when thin girls were not given lead roles for lack of curves.....there was also a time when Amitabh B. was considered too tall...can u believe it....being tall was considered a -ve trait...not anymore......
Maybe the guy friend of yours might not be attractive for a person who admires SRK.....
And I am just discussing the definition of beauty...not defending SRK...........people love him/hate him....I don't care😆

@TM Awesome topic....😳
I am a die hard SRK Fan Myself.....
I disagree with ppl who say he does the same stuff again and again!!
I highly disagree with all of them!!He stands out as a person!!
My respect for him is Really high...the reasons being
1. First of all He is the only Actor in bollywood without any link ups or negative controversies!!He respects his co actresses unlike acertain Mr.Akshay or a Certain Mr.Salman...
2.No Crime records his personal life was always free from controversies!!
3.He is one Man women....His family comes first for him..
4.He Had no god father thus made it as huge in bollywood!!
5.He had no claims entering the film industry calling himself married unlike a certain Aamir who hid the fact that he was married...🤔
6.He Reinvented that Actors can be villains too thanks to darr,Anjaam,Bazigar etc...
7.He gave a whole new meaning to romance!!
Certainly the Undisputed king of romance!!
8.He is a man of values,culture and etiquette's!!
These are some off the few reasons y i really respect him!!
he is the only actor whom I love the most and respect in bollywood..

I don't really hate SRK. Granted, everything he does or says generates a lot of attention, sometimes a bit much. But given how he's almost an icon now, it's only natural that his actions will generate a lot of interest, and his movies will generate much more appraisal than other movies, whether he deserves it or not.
Aside from that, it bothers me to see someone fawning over his looks. I know there are a couple of them out there. Looks isn't his best asset.

That, by no way, means that I don't like SRK. I do like him in tons of his movies. Chak De India, Main Hoon Na, KKHH, Swadesh, etc to name a few. Special props to Chak De India.
However, I don't like the whole "cheesy" territory he has created in Bollywood under KJo's production. Y'know, the whole K bullshit. KKHH, KHNH, KANK, etc. Apparently, that's what some people dig. To each its own I guess.

Now, what category do I come under? SRK hater? SRK lover? Someone who's jealous of SRK? "rolls eyes" or just neutral? How about avoiding easy compartmentalization and realizing that there are multiple reasons behind people's opinions?
