Why do fans bash stars?

Recently, the sets of one of the most popular show of current times Ye Hai Mohabbatien was traumatized due to somedifferences between show's lead actor Karen Patel and the media reaching the sets for exclusive coverage of shoots. As seen generally Karan is not so cosy around media cams, meanwhile his on-screen leading lady Divyanka Tripathi is very much media friendly. Though contrasting personalities, the actors have maintain cordial relationship till date, nevertheless, post the situational controversy- which is not so clearly reasoned out and looks more of the usual funda of showbiz blame game, the individual fanbases of both the actors have definitely developed sour feelings against each other alongside the celebrity of opposed fandom as well. The worst was out when the sourness of Karan's fans came out in open when they took it up to bashing Divyanka on Social Networking Sites for a jokingly fun remark made by her long time boyfriend Sharad Malhotra concerning Karan Patel.

While Karan himself didn't find any issues with Ssharad's statement so easily let it bypass his fans found that pretty offensive; what followed was verbal wars and lots of justifications as well as speculations between the fangroups. Eventually, the lady got herself speak to fans to clear the airs of misunderstanding in order to maintain peace. Finally, the wars of words have subdued. The said case is just one amidst the many such cases happening in showbiz every now and then. Unfortunately, bashing has become a common deal in feedback front as much as it now seems of an bad addiction with no rehabilitation to redeem over.

All these have led us to evaluate over the hyper bashing spree- what must be the reasons, people find it completely normal to use abusive remarks and offensive words so openly in public sites? As obvious, the poignant causes lies within the superiority complexes, inconsiderate mentalities and judgemental attitudes of people those bash stars for everything that doesn't go well with their being or doesn't serve their wish right. Being fan- to follow a celebrity as an icon, a role model is a strong emotion, the same emotional strength have fans go over-possessive of and ultra-sensitive about the stars/shows they love; so much that they forbid and forget to respect anything else coming up in the way of their love. Nothing is beyond what I believe is best' is undoubtedly the principle of fandom.

As said there's difference in blind and blindfolded, bashers are those fans who chose to blindfold themselves with self-implanted ideologies on their choices, they think are perfect; so as to not look upon any positivity in the matters not of their choices. Often, bashers intent to bring down others to glorify their own choices which is never more than a delusion in real. Anyways, these type of delusional fanwars mostly result in a dirtier controversy, in the process, dampening the image of the whosoever stars/shows concerned in open portals. Plus, negative feedbacks don't feed good in showbiz and hampers all the parties involved disturbingly. Many a times, bashing effects bad in professional and even personal life of the celebrity while also manipulates a show's pace.

Celebrities are humans like every ordinary person is. We can't and shouldn't expect them to be perfect and all righteous. Just because they are public figure, we don't own them or have a right to pass whatever remark on them. Bashing every statements or dealings of a celebrity is injustifiable, like everyone, celebs are free to voice their opinions, opt their decisions on own. There's a very thin line between criticism and bashing- where criticism is fruitful for better showbiz environment, bashing ruins it all, turning it all the more unhealthy. Fans should refrain from insensitive abusive wars of words and know where to draw a line. If one can't respect other's choice, he can't choose to insult either. All we need to realize is, its Entertainment industry so just have to take it easy.

Spread positivity, let's get bizzin!
