Okay I have gone through all the posts. Now let me make mine too. Later as time permits I will reply to all the other posts who all have objected.
I was also among those who was completely against Rajeev doing a SAB TV show. The channel is not a popular channel yet and when he started it was considered to be a second rated channel on basis of the popularity. But RAJEEV PROVED ME WRONG. He proved that even working on the second rated channel he can stay and be called as one of the best actor on TV. Hence I can say one thing.... Rajeev has the capacity and capability to proove everyone who are opposing him here wrong.
Secondly I would like to say one thing to all those who say and feel today whatever Rajeev is, whatever he has achieved it is due to his fans. Let me ask them all one simple question. Were you all his fans when he was no one on TV. When he was doing the show Kya Hadsa Kya Hakeeqat. NO.... you were not. You became his fans when he showed how good an artist he is through his acting in KTH. He with his acting and behaviour is getting his fan followings growing everyday. So saying that what he is today is ONLY because of what his fans have made him is just ridiculous.
Some are saying why doesn't he complete any serial. He did it in the case of Time Bomb. They followed whatever was the original story line and he never even complained or made any such demand. Let the LRL guys do that.... then see what he says. If the same had been done by KTH people he would never have left even that.
Now comming to movie. Many said he has no chance at a place where there's SRK, Hritik and AB. Now tell me one thing... unless he takes the chance... unless he tries will he ever know if he can stand beside them or not. Do you mean to say that just looking at them he should go back. My question to all of you believe this theory.... WILL YOU ALL BE DOING THE SAME IN LIFE? Not even try to follow what your dreams say... what your heart say.... and what you believe may be possible for you to do or that may uplift your career.... Person having such thoughts and following them are called nothing but COWARDS. And Rajeev is not that.
Last but not the least. What rajeev is doing has an objective. He wants to bring a change in this Television system. These producers does the same everytime. They sign actors showing them a story line, telling them such and such time it will end.... and then carry on with it non-stop as soon as they see monetary gains. End result of such practice... the serial gets boring. Something that has happened with LRL from Nov itself. They shifted away from the original storyline. And today if Rajeev has put his foot down it is to show and tell them that better stick to what you said.
And instead of commending such an act I am surprised to see some of you deploring such act. If tomorrow he don't get any work who will be effected... YOU!! No it will be Rajeev himself. And he is not a kid anymore. He knows what he is doing and what is the need of the hour. Calling him brainless, heartless or saying he is leaving as KBC is comming is just ridiculous. Did he ask you to be his fans? No.... you all became his fans automatically. And let me be very very frank. Today even if some of you leave him tomorrow I can give you a guarantee that he will get twice as many fans just through his sheer work.
Thats my POV. I feel he should have put his foot down in Nov. itself. But then better late than never. I am really happy he proved me wrong once, and I am 100% sure he will prove you all wrong again. Now you all can call this bookish knowledge, childish gibberish or unnecessary quotes..... but this is the truth.
Then they say....
Dangerous is the man who rationalises his feelings and thoughts.
Thanks God Rajeev doesn't do that. He follows his heart. Such a person always remain innocent, true and honest. Maybe they will get few hurdles in life.... but finally they are also the winners.
P:S: I agree to Truptiji's comment in the other topic. Yes rajeev should now stop giving so much importance and personal touch to his fans. Fans are now getting the feeling that THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CAN CONTROL HIM. And make him dance on their fingers. They are feeling that now Rajeev should listen to only them. The call of the hour is Rajeev should simply stay away from and ignore these fans. They will cause more harm in my opinion. Rajeev should carry on with whatever he feels like only then he can do things freely. Only then he can show his creativity better.
