Agreed.I too beleive that we have a right to criticise an actor who is a public figure.But we don't object to criticism itself,but the language employed to do it.I would not mind if it was said he can't act,he does not fit the role,he looks old,he bores etc etc.......but if he was called a donkey or a monkey,other than making our language look bad,how is it going to contribute to constructive criticism?? No one,nither Samir nor Apurva nor any other man can look like a donkey and I'm sure if it knew our language,even a donkeywould take great offense in being called Samir or Apurva or even a man!!!!

Criticism and Villification are two different things entirely.Criticism is discussing merits or demerits of the person but name calling is villifying the person.

Critism is allowed,Name calling is not.

Neither it is necessary to be an actor to know whether an actor is a good or bad.Just like we don't have to be a singer to know good singing from bad singing.Listening to anyone sing a song can tell you whether she knows to sing or does not.

My hubby did not like Ajay Devgan so he thought he was a bad actor.I always thought he was very good.Now it has been proved.Ash can't act and we don't have to be a genius to see that.

Randhir Kapoor could not act to save his life,his wife Babita was average,his daughter Karishma is good and no matter how much I dislike Kareena,I have to admit she is brilliant.

so if an actor or a person does not fit a role then there are ppl who will surely take care of it

Mostly,but not always.Do you know Amitabh Bachchan was rejected in 'All India Radio' audition?Besides of course being rejected several times in movie auditions,including 'Zanjeer'?Amzad Khan aka Gabbar Singh was rejected by Ramesh Sippy because he was too good looking and his voice was not heavy? What would you call these?Mistake is too mild a word for these.Blunder, maybe.

Antara Mali was the example of worst casting in a movie called 'Naach'.....a movie which revolved around her sensuous dance and all she could come up with was body jerks so bad that it could put a person getting electric shocks to shame!!Ram Gopal Verma made this mistake and beleive me,this was a repeat mistake after 'Road' .......from a man who had taken the concept of sensuous dancing to a new height with Urmilla in 'Rangeela'......

My point being,you don't have to know a job to ascertain whether the end product is good or bad.

👏 👏 👏 Minne you said it all Girl! Just hope some people see what you have been trying spell out here.
