I was like you too, till I realized - why do we hear so much negativity on these celebs rather than positive news... how many times does a reporter cover all of Salman's charity work🤔? Unless, RT had told his fans himself no one ever knew he adopted a street dog sometime back. Why is one TOI reporter always targetting Pari in the negative and one set of SBB/SBS reporters RT?Only negativity sells so the reporters prefer that than showing the celebs in positive life (had a bad experience in college myself where a popular magazine misquoted me and my friends - and very ridiculously - for a college bytes article)Unless one has the grit and charm like a SRK or a KJO to handle them, its tough. The life itself is tough - money is good when it lasts - if you don't have a support system/business to fall back on when money/fame runs out, it's unfortunately recluse/drugs/alcoholism/suicide for many.Imagine one of us common folks having a tiff with a friend or a sis in a bazaar that gets blown out of proportion for no reason. What kind of a life do these scandal reporters have tearing another person's life apart?😕Also Piya, the reporters may need him for their job, but it's not necessarily the other way around (and in many cases so). A client relationship cannot be compared to this. Had he broken his contract with Ekta, refused to interact/coperate with co-stars it can be termed unprofessional. This is only the frills of being part of the celeb life. Why should he be under obligation to interact with a set of reporters who posted nice stuff about him when they wanted to but humiliated him when he requested not to post stuff about his girl. 😳So while I shed no tears for the celebs myself, I totally understand why some of them fly off the handle too. I have the luxury of privacy - and being able to have a few off moments without it being scandalized. These people don't... so celeb life has got the goods and the many bads too!
First of all I want to ask something - Is RT only rude with these SBS/SBB people and approachable for other media houses? In that case I accept that my opinion on him is wrong. He has every right to avoid a particular section of media who he believes spread negativity about him. No offence at all.
I agree with you that negativity sells much more than positivity when it comes to the personal life of celebrities. And that's the reason most of them and their family suffers. I think the name and fame don't come for nothing. They have their right to privacy also which very often get violated. I believe there is a middle path- where you can be amiable with media as well as manage to keep your private life exclusive. Most of the celebrities' walks through this thin line- so I think the line isn't that thin itself. If someone can't find it even after spending many years in the business (Here I am not talking about RT, but all other stars too). I believe it's more their reluctance than incapability. Now, tell me why would reporters cover the story about RT adopting a street dog when he is not even interested to give them a single interview? Media is a business (specially showbiz) and what these actors do is also a business.
Sorry but I don't agree with you that reporters need RT for their job and not the other way around. For me it's always give and take. RT is popular that's why reporters are behind him, and then there are many RTs around who media can utilize if RT isn't available. You know wha5t happened with AB senior- I think RT will also have to make peace with the media if he dreams of better future in showbiz. I agree co-operating with his fellow actors is important- but how he gets along with his co-stars off-screen or how loyal he is with his production house is no one's business. He wanted media to not post about his girlfriend, which media did and therefore he cut off all ties with media. I was not aware of this.
I didn't know RT before Jodha Akbar, this is my first show with him.Neither I am aware of his previous work nor how his relation was with media before. It's just that when I saw him almost running from media persons and the men around him behave like the way they did, well it was not very pleasant thing to watch.
P.S.- What I have written is not only about this particular case. As you have also presented a more generic view about the issue, I have also done the same. @munniroy (I hope I have spelled her name correctly) said the right thing that we can agree to disagree with each other. Personally I feel amazed with how far people go to defend their favourite stars, and I mean it in a positive way.😃 Very sorry if I offended anyone.
