@Vrish I know u asked this question to Medha but sorry for intervention but being sarcastic is good even I'm very sarcastic using this prefix is also fine but over usage of it just to pass snide remarks n escape easily is not appreciated all the time...u might not connect to this StarArjun StarDrau or StarKrishna but majority r attached to them n it pisses them off when people simply go overboard wid usage of this prefix n insult the characters!!



The characters, or more precisely, the depictions of these characters in this serial, deserve to be mocked, regardless of who's whose fan. If Arjun is shown as being unwilling to marry Subhadra, when the real Arjun was the one who was enamored w/ her, then this Arjun deserves to be mocked. If Draupadi is depicted as saying that cutting a tree == killing 10 men, sorry, but I'm not gonna respect her, period! If Krishna tells Arjun to dress up as a woman and pull the stunts he did in order to bring out Rukmini, I won't spare even him. And since treading on religious sentiments is a big no-no in this forum, people who express such opinions would have to make sure that they are talking about this serial's Arjun, Draupadi or Krishna, and not the original characters.

I was a big fan of Vishal Karwal, who played Krishna in DBSK, but even that didn't keep me from lambasting that serial when they showed really flaky stories. This serial is far worse. Krishna pretending to commit suicide in front of Draupadi when she was thinking of walking off the ledge? Sorry, but most people who know the real story would have a rich disdain for such depictions. And SRJ plays a totally slapstick Krishna: yeah, Krishna had a good sense of humor, but nothing like what's shown in this serial.

u didn't get me it seems I clearly said usage of this prefix is completely fine n being sarcastic is appreciated but over usage of this prefix just to insult the characters is not appreciated n I precisely meant by comments as such "I doubt that this StarArjun is straight" n if u r giving example of Vishal of DBSK though I'm not aware who is Vishal or abt that show its not about Shaheer...I'm a fan of Shaheer n that's y I'm against of this overusage is simply not the case I'm deeply attached to the character of this n the epic n just coz of distortions these charachters r being insulted is irritating n there is a cvs distortion thread but making evry single thread into this StarArjun n all is pissing!

I know and I am all up for mocking and sarcasm.
I do it too but shouldnt there be a place for it?
Why so much negativity on every thread on the forum?

And it is not about the actors, Saurabh is lovable bud doesnt mean i watch DKDM just because i like Saurabh. He plays Lord Vishnu very well i hear.I like Shaheer now, doesnt mean i watched his previous shows, MB is my only concern.
I am attached to Krishna and Arjuna, not Saurabh and Shaheer.

So one might be irritated with the depictions, we can mock and be sarcastic but isn't that all we do on discusion thread and story distortion one?and some other ones too?
How come every thread has to be used for making fun of the characters?Cant some threads be left mock and sarcasm free for people who like the show?


I know Bheem is your favorite, and i might say that Starplus bheem is so this and that.I might go making mockery of him on every thread possible.Any thread that is opened, all you read about is bheem being insulted and mocked.you might ignore it since i am insulting starplus bheem but would you appriciate me butchering his character and belittling him every where, on every thread possible? Wont you dislike me?😆

Far from it - this may shock you, but I'd agree w/ you if you were talking about the character played by Saurav Gujjar. I'd only disagree if you were mocking the original, real Bhima - if it was a criticism of him drinking Dushashan's blood, or insulting Duryodhan @ every possible opportunity. Heck, I've argued w/ Karnalis (outside the AT) over the question about whether Karna was superior to Bhima.

If I saw every thread had this serial's Bhima insulted for always being after laddoos, I wouldn't mind nor bother. If someone wanted to make light of his protecting Draupadi, or mocked his (fictitious) vow of not bringing any of his other wives to Indraprastha, I'd be okay w/ it as well. But yeah, if it was a thread about the real Bhima and people were insulting him, I'd pick up my mace 😆

I use Star to distinguish btwn original and this version's character innovations. I won't apologize for it nor justify it. So long as am not abusive about it doing so is within freedom of expression. Right comes with Responsibility which people often forget. But, so long as I am responsible I am entitled to my right. When I use might to force my right or cloak abuse as right then that is wrong.

Yes, you are absolutely correct.
I have nothing against it, it is useful enough.

but @red 👍🏼

I have yet to abuse my privilege... I welcome warning notes, etc. when I do. Here If someone's specific comments are a problem then address that specifically not generally.

No idea if Minakshis note is for someone specific or if she is just addresing it generally.

I think what happens is people get a bit infuriated by the fact that almost all the discussion has "star"character (... speaking of which ... this reminds me of my long post of comparison between STARcharacter v character ... oops 😛) and they mod alert posts and then Minakshi has to make a forum wide comment since majority of us use "star"X in our posts, it becomes a global announcement rather than a PM.
But no offense to any fans, the reason I chose to start using StarCharacter in my posts, was whenever I was writing a comment about the serial // praises or criticism // I felt like I was doing injustice to the original characters.
This would be a bad example, since I'm sure no one is a die-hard fan of Rukmi, ... clearly "star"rukmi is completely opposite the epic Rukmi.

Sure we can start calling the serial characters by their name, and start calling those of Vyas' epic "Vyas"Arjun or EpicArjun but it makes no sense to change their names when they have nothing to do with our conversation.

I'm hesitant to write this, because I'm worried that someone might take this the wrong way, but from what I've seen / experienced when it comes to mythological serials and their characters is that we gradually begin to associate the actor/actress in the original place. I do this too sometimes, so I'm not being judgmental or if I am (and I don't know about it), I guess I'm judging myself too. And I don't like doing that. Adding StarCharacter whenever commenting just helps me differentiate my beliefs from being influenced by the serial.

So what does this mean? It means that I'm open to making any changes to myself for the benefit of the group of individuals who feel that using StarCharacter is an overuse... but it also means that if I am going to make changes to myself, I would expect no less from those who aren't in favor of using StarCharacter.

All that being said - no offense and if you are offended -- I'm truly sorry.
