My thoughts on Arpita!

I have written on Arpita critically before, but I feel within myself a sudden surge of sympathy for this girl.

To be sure, Arpita has made serious mistakes. For instance, it was inexcusable on her part to vote out Arijit. True, the foolish Arijit, too, had gravely erred in ousting Shamit, but why should Arpita - this pretty and intelligent girl - why should she have followed Arijit?

Let there be no mistake about it: Arpita is NOT a bad singer or performer. She is good and in fact has great potentiality within her to admirably succeed in in the world of film music.

Then, what's wrong with her? Mind you, Arpita is not very strong or aggressive within. See how she cries at the drop of a hat. And see how Roop was able to floor her in the boxing match! It shows Arpita is very VULNERABLE, and also insecure.

Maybe, it is because of her insecurity that she has been desperate to win the competition. There is nothing wrong in being ambititious and competitive. Roop too wants to win. But Arpita has been DESPERATE.

Her desperation has had two consequences: On one side, she became manipulative, and, on the other, she did not concentrate enough on her art, on her singing. To IMPRESS others became her chief concern, not singing or performing. In consequence, she often failed to give her best.

Arpita needs to learn something from Gita - the lesson or theory of disinterested action. We human beings should try to perform well and leave the rest to God. Desperation to achieve can undermine one's competence and performance.

I love you Arpita. You have something to learn from Qazi and Roop. You are equally good and I am sure you can emulate them, even excel in the game.

I invite ye all to comment on this write-up!!

The only thing of Arpita that i doesnot like is that she is always against Qazi. she is a good singer, a good performer and looks good on Stage. I want Qazi and Arpita to become famejodi.

Simran, very well written! I think that Arpita is very good but she is just not tactful & she is very truthful! If she is mad or upset she can't keep it to herself and will let you know that by hook or crook. She is dumb & silly has to learn the tact- act & then make a pact with the most loved (janta ka dulara!) You'll see her popularity soaring almost instantaneously. 😉

Then these producers & editors can edit in such a way that they can make you a hero or a zero. If camera is following you 24 hours then you know they can edit & show whatever they want!
All the best to all the 4.
Love,
Mink

I don't like her as a person.. But I will be more than happy to see her and Qazi in Fame Jodi mainly because they'll look good together and compliment each other really well..Both are really good lookers and have a certain class which RR and Rex don't have

I also have a respect for those kind of people who always maintain a clear perspective of things, and you are 1 of those people who is not quick to judge the contestants...

I don't agree that she is insecure /vulnerable. Failure breeds more disappointment after a really deserving effort,esp. when the performer is aware of his/hser worth.
I beg to draw your attention,Sim, to the post I wrote in the topic-'Arpita ka kya hoga?';don't want to repeat it for fear of redundancy.
But, my observation has been that Arpita's position has always been compromised because of RR; In the initial gala performances, Arpita was always heavily praised by the judges- the only negative criticism she drew was for some pitfall in her performance;I've never seen RR putting in much by way of performance-whenever she moves a little , she gets off sur and breathless; but, she gets praised for her singing alone-I ,kind of ,saw double standards in their judgment.
The consequences were all seen by us- to cut a topic
short- she had to be saved by the faculty twice/missed 'top student' award several times, -whatever the reasoning of the judges /faculty- it was an unfair game-a more deserving student was denied her rightful entitlements while a less deserving candidate got away with lack of an important element required in this game .
What you term 'vulnerability', I would describe as a reaction to the betrayal of once's sincere faith in oneself-a feeling resulting from the culmination of several different acts of injustice.

I just wish she'd lay off of Qazi you know... she is good in every aspect apart from being manipulative... I mean if she had a good attitude, I would love her...
