Itna pagalpan dekh liya that I started hating fans in general. I stopped going to IF for a long time. It doesn’t end here. There’s much more but don’t wanna go into the details. That’s y I wonder y should we viewers allow celebs to influence us so much? That was the day I told myself these guys are just people doing their job. Just like how an engineer works with technology to make life better for people, doctors heal patients, actors entertain us by relieving us of the day’s stress by taking us into a fictional world. They r no different from us. So don’t waste energy on them. Enjoy their work and appreciate them. That’s it.
WHAAAAT? Oh god! That's mental.
Anyways, I stopped letting myself get affected by actors after that show. So I don't allow actors to affect me emotionally now. I learnt it the hard way.
I watched this show, the leads had good chemistry so it caught my attention. Show jab acha tha I have appreciated it. Similarly jab track kharab tha tab I have criticized it also. I also got mocked for daring to criticize the show. If a track is bad, I will call it out. No one else gets to decide if I should watch it or not. My time, my hotstar connection, my internet, my forum id and my voice. So telling me 'dont watch it if you dont like it doesnt work'. I will watch and criticize a bad track, just like I watch and appreciate wholeheartedly whenever its fantastic. It is a public forum for a reason.
This forum used to be more tolerant to criticism and I have appreciated that quality about the forum and members a lot in the past; this was one of the better IF forums. But in the last 1-2 months after the news of the show going off air came out, all hell broke loose. The mood changed.
Everyone has their own coping mechanisms. I guess everyone was upset, angry and most of all helpless. They wanted to save the show, it would have been nice if they had got an extension. I felt bad seeing them trying so hard with the trends, I am not on Twitter, so I didn't see what actually happened. Bechare worked really hard. Kaash thoda extend kar dete, just for the hard work that was put in.
Also some very evil and mean comments against the actors were made, which did not go down well with the fans. Even I have had my share of crushes on actors in the past, so I get it; even I used to feel like I have to fight tooth and nail to defend my favorite😆. Over time my craze died a natural death, and I realized it really doesn't matter who says what. It doesn't take anything away from the actor, his/her popularity, morale or income.
Actors are much smarter. They take it in their stride. They know how to deal with SM comments: the good, bad, and ugly. Of course they get upset, they are only human. That's why I try to keep my criticism limited to the show and character, for which writers are responsible, not the actors. I try to avoid commenting on personal life. Sometimes even I get carried away, but I try my best not to.
