Well if Rajeev is uncomfortable going to such shows then we as his fans should respect that.....just for his fans, he can't go to show which he doesnt wish to be a part of!
As for the 'rigging' part....maybe Rajeev was hoping that things would change in those 3 yrs in which he attended the awards---maybe now he realises tht things won't change ever......Time teaches u a lot of things and this could be one of the things time has taught Rajeev.
Sneha..it's not that i don't respect his stance for not attending the awards...I just don't agree with the reason that he has put forth...It's not only the awards..even the nominations are pre decided...by the people concerned..so in a sense it is rigged...n frankly that may never change arnd here..
N I honestly don't believe that rajeev could be so naive that he expected things to change...in the 3 yrs...He is well aware of how things function out here..Esp..post the KTH episode. He has been thro' so much humiliation, the dirty politics..his so called frendz..taking potshots at him ..he has seen it and heard it all..
He must have had some inkling of this last year atleast ...then why did he bother to attend ITA..last year..where he won the award..Most of the actors know well in advance that they are gonna win..esp..when it comes to film awards..n i'm sure pretty much the same is played out here too...
Aamir K..too boycotted these popular film awards n till date he has stuck to his decision....n hopefully rajeev too will stick by it...
So true that time teaches us a lot of things..n better late than never... from now on i hope that i don't see him grace these award functions...n i wish him the best always ...
