Hmm...for starters, I would just want to clarify that generalisations are never my thing. I know you mean a certain group of people, and not everyone. The distinction sort of gets blurred halfway through your post, Rikz, so I'm just serving a little reminder here for everyone who pounces on you saying you can't generalise on everyone based on the actions of a few. Which is perfectly true, of course. And I'm sure you're perfectly aware of it too.
The observation is quite accurate, yes. Groups are being slashed to fragments. Again, because of one article, and one person's return turning the whole equation around. My way of looking at it, however, is a little different from yours. I don't find much amusement in the matter. It's more sad, for me. And that, too, is for more reasons than one. First, of course, that many AR fans are shifting loyalties. Because for them KaSh comes before AR. And though I think it can, and mostly does, spell hypocrisy, especially if they've been vociferous in defending AR so far and have suddenly dropped the idea, I still think it isn't really out of the ordinary. We're all human beings here, aren't we? And we have impulses that may not always be sound and just. Life's twisted, and so is human nature. I don't think it's fair to assume that malice is at wok everytime someone shifts loyalties. It is hypocritical for those who claimed that AR were it for them. It sickens and saddens me, the behaviour of such people. And at the same time, it isn't all that unexpected for those AR fans who, say, still sported KaSh siggies despite rooting for KaJen or KaSu all the while. Personally, when these members turn to KaSh now, I don't see where the contradiction lies. They loved KaSh, and as it happens, that love outdoes their love for AR. Some of them may not even have realised it before, but do now, when Shilpa's comeback is a reality. That's really all there is to it.
And that brings me to the second part of all this that saddens me. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, that it is really people like these who'll suffer here. Even if their intentions are perfectly genuine, no one's ever going to believe them, and they will be seen only through the lens of hostility, as hypocrites. Fallibility be damned.
I'd like to add that I hope you're aso bearing in mind those of us who stick by our word as AR fans. I'm in love with Armaan-Riddhima, and always will be. Nothing can take that away from me. I'm even willing to give Shilpa a chance, because I have nothing against her except a few reservations regarding her acting skills. Heck, people improve, and I'm willing to give her that space. But I am an AR fan before anything else, and that is not going to change. DMG for me is defined by AR, and no matter who is paired with whom eventually, that is the way it will always remain in my memories.
And as far as KSG goes, yes, there are quite a few members who're willing to see him with any girl as long as he's on the show as Armaan. And personally, I don't see what's wrong with that. I'm not a drooler Rikz, you know that, but I have preferences too, and yes, after 3 years, it will be difficult to imagine anyone else as Armaan. With Riddhima, we've had quite a bit of practice, seen her character being twisted to suit different faces, seen her become a variable, almost. But Armaan's been a constant right from the beginning, so letting him go is quite naturally more difficult for some of us. Again, I don't see anything amiss with such a stance.
This is just my point of view. If you do not agree, I respect it. But I maintain my opinion, hoping other people will respect mine just as I do theirs.
Cheers! 😊
