great post sammy. well thought and sensible as always.
Yes, none other has the capacity of holding our attention to this extent with, as you said, bad hair and clothes. But i still say, dont hug if you cant portray it properly. i means whats the point. Ok, if there are some problems and some tension, which we are sure there is on their personal front, than why bother hugging or coming close. See, we as dead fans of apu try to understand everything and give him every benefit of doubt. thats our love and respect for him. But not everyone thinks like that. and specially the Critics. we have to remember in order to keep abreast in the industry and be in demand, it is very improtant to act to the best.
I feel apu is not giving even 50% of what he is capable of. I dont blame him for it, i can see he is working under pressure. it is soo evident on his face. and Surveen she is under pressure as well. they are always upset, under pressure and worried. i dont know if someone else noticed that, but i surely did.
It will hurt me bady, if i ever read something bad about apu and his performance by critics or anyone as a matter of fact. and therefore i would say, if there is something they dont want to do, than dont do it, rather than doing it half heartedly. for it will surely be recorded in their profile. people dont forget bad performances. thats the way industry and things work. Tough but true!!
Thats my view. i am sure others have their own. 😊
