My basic premise is that the forum members are mature and intelligent people, who know their boundaries...

I am not against name calling as long as we know our limits.. We should interact on this forum just as we talk in normal life with our family and friends...

Criticizing a character is fine as long as there are no personal attacks on forum members as well as the actors/actresses... However, many times we have seen that certain members start threads with the only intention of creating a rift on the forum and strict action should be taken against those...

Guys, let us not suppress constructive criticism

Thanx a lot for this Post Gur

Now i understand...how much difficulties a DT shud go through...just to maintain peace in a forum...hats off to u all..

Well coming bakc to the topic,

  • Yaa i agree...name calling is fine to an extent. But we should keep in mind that these words must hurt the sentiments of the fellow-members. here in this forum...we are a Family. so we need to adjust ourselves and try to understand the sentiments of the family members. So calling names are acceptable...only if all are ok wid it. not just bcz 1 person likes to call such a name.
  • But i sometimes feel dat...some members...do call some names,,intentionally ..just to instigate the members and to cause chaos. We need to control our anger and frustration. Try to be positive guys..
  • and ya...sometyms i feel that more dan the Cvs we have butchered our fav characters..by calling such harsh names.
  • I feel a tit for tat manner in followed in our forum...First of all the reason is dat ..our forum is divided into 2 fan grps- once fan group bashes one character...and the other fan grps lash out at them. Ek family agar division hota hain...den its definitely hurts each n evry members.So i'd request u all to stand united
  • and finally, it really hurts when i see some members...taking a dig at other fellow forum members. i remember some of us...were teased and were called different kinds of names (sorry...wudnt ike to mention those names here) by other members. Plz lets refrain frm all this.

Thanx for the Topic Gur 😃


basic problem of this forum is members in this forum have different views/Rules for different Characters ...


( except few fans who r fans of both lead actors and Characters and those who believe in fair discussion )

how it works is :

If u r a fan of female lead ( aka actress ) then u r against Male Character ( actor )and their fans , they will call names to the Male character and everyone related to that character in the show to hurt the fans of that character or to instigate them but when Male character fans do the same with Female Character they feel offended , they make those topics closed and then it starts Vice Versa , like a war ... another example, for a long time Leech word was used for the Negative character Richa but as soon one used that word for a character ( abhay) who is with a female character in the show, those posts were reported and U were also dragged into it and then suddenly this word became offensive which was used once for the Villain of the show ...

same members will report the threads , posts where name calling was used for characters but Those same members will Like those posts where someone is Abusing a Member , ( see the difference between Member and a Character ), why they will like abusing post for a member ? bcz that member is a fan an actor and character which they don't like ... or can say belongs to opposite party ... so for them name calling to a character is offensive but name calling to a member is fine ...so this is double standards which creates fights and Instigate members

another example today I called show lead a Vamp ( its a Character , if villain can be called a Vamp then why not a heroine? its my POV and my thinking and its not an abuse or name calling ) as a response someone started a thread abt me and Called me a looser ... I was called looser bcz i used Vamp for the show female lead 😆 ... See how some ppl can go to this level for a character that they even start abusing a member for a character and Surprisingly many ppl LIKE those posts and they even comment in the support and wishing Get well soon ( they them-self need these wishes urgently 😉 ) while they are abusing a member for a character ... Someone who is saying name calling ( even a simple word like a Vamp ) for a female lead shld Not be allowed, is liking the posts where someone is abusing a member 🤪 ...




some threads get closed bcz those bash the female character while those same members do the same in ATs which remains open .

Different rules for Different characters

I personally Have no problem in Basic name calling to the characters ( All Characters ) ... this happens in other show forums too ...but when one grp doesn't allow it for their fav character then me too won't allow this for my fav character even though I know these r just characters and its absolutely fine ...so this kinda situations create fights and spoil the discussion atmosphere for everyone

i want rules same for everyone . If a lead can be called idiot then there shld be no problem if someone calls a female lead idiot too , if Female negative character can be called Vamp then there shld be no problem if one wants to call a heroine Vamp


This is my point exactly Gur. Before you stop members from name calling any of the character, you have to stop them from calling names to fellow members. At the end of the these are fictional characters, but the fellow members are real people and hope some of the members understand this difference.

I will use Minnie for example, member may or may not agree with her posts and they are more than welcomed to report her threads should they find it offensive, but opening a thread to call that member looser is pretty unacceptable. Also people liking and commenting in support for that post is even more unacceptable. We have mods to take care of these issues then why abuse a fellow member? This is not done in good taste. I strongly condemn it. Abusing fellow members should be strictly prohibited at all costs.

Gur as now u can see ppl r defending how abusing a Member is absolutely fine but abusing a character which does not even exist in real life is not fine and if someone bashed a character that person deserves Name calling , abuses as per them and its absolutely fine for them 🤣 🤪 ...a post for a character is a psyco post but an abusive thread for a real member is Not 😉


if one can be frustrate and start abusing the Members why not other ??? 😉 atleast other one did Not Abuse anyone not even a fictitious character ... but some ppl prefer to ignore some things ...

so as per their new law i m also allowed to start abusive threads abt few members na ???? 😉 oh well i don't need to stoop this low ...so i don't need to do so 😉


i think now very well you can understand the situation of the forum and hope u will make rules based on this , bcz to change the thinking is really hard so this forum does need really strict rules

and Gur do mention the definition of derogatory words and also clear that if we r allowed to bash anyone in the AT and not in the open ???? bcz i see different rules for AT's bashing and main posts bashing ... main ones get locked while nothing happens to ATs ...if a Vamp is a derogatory word for heroine then it shld be the same for villain too ...All characters shld be treated the same


Agree with you Minnie again. I have also seen members abusing bashing other members in actor's AT. How is that decent? I think this is an insult to the actors whose ATs are being used as a mean to abuse fellow members and other characters. If you need prove, I have taken several screen shots where members and other characters are bashed very badly. I think this should not be allowed at any cost.

First of all thanks Gur for the post.👏

Have no prblm with name calling (for characters only) during constructive criticism. Problem is with the intentions here. If my intention is to hurt a particular person/member or a group, trust me without using any of these words and using very flowery language I can still get better results.😛 So the basic problem is not with words but Intensions. No one can really stop this, No DT or anyone; there is nothing wrong with the forum rules or the DT. We members have to stop this ourselves. We have to be matured enough to see the intensions and then react. In my opinion the best way to stop this is to ignore such comments. (Taking about myself and everyone involved) if you don't react and just ignore then a time will come when the person will stop himself/herself.

We love this show and the characters, Kunal will not be good or bad without the help of other character and vice versa. Being a KC fan and seeing his character being butchered is very frustrating in itself and then to come and see that even if he sneezes around R he is criticized (intentionally to hurt)is like rubbing salt so one reacts (me too and am sure is the case with Sidhi fans too). I admit that I have used these words to criticize KC but at times don't like when others do it. It is like I can scold my child but won't allow anyone else to do it.😆 This attitude is wrong and have tried to change myself, hope other try to do the same.

This forum should be a fun place and along with that the right place to give our feedback good or bad to the CVs and the PH to make 'OUR' show better.


@ Red - Couldn't agree with you more Rush. It'snot the words, but the intentions of the members that counts. For example If one says "I am so frustrated with CVs for showing Kunal as a looser", it's fine, but it someone say "Kunal is the biggest fool, he is weirdo, he is looser" just to insult him unnecessarily, I do have problem with that. In every comment , one can clearly see the intention of the member so you see name calling is very relevant to the intention of a particular member.

Agree Shweta, there are few members who start few topics everyday just too instigate others and to fight with others. What's worst is that they themselves keep changing their likes or dislikes for a particular character based on who other like or dislike and try to instigate member to fight with them. This is all done very intentional and it needs to be stopped.

Okay now here is my 2 cents on this issue. I think name calling to certain extent is okay; However:

-Strict actions should be taken against members attacking fellow members. This should not be allowed at any cost. No insult, abuse or even sarcastic remarks should be made about fellow members

- No name calling should be allowed if it's been used for instigating purposes. There isn't only one or two members who do that, but I have seen several members doing that religiously.

- No offense should be taken by the same member who uses the same words used for their favorite character, such as names like looser, weirdo, and fool should be okay to use for Siddhi as well as it's been used for Kunal repeatedly

- Comparing human to animals should be strictly prohibited, such as calling any characters monkey or leech or any other names

- Lastly Actor should never be abused just because they are playing negative roles. I have seen may a times that people bash/Abuse Sonia Sigh because she is playing Richa. How is that actor's fault if her character is shown doing bad things. Bashing Sonia or any other actors should be prohibited

Will let you know more should I think of any other points Gur.

Thank you for your consideration and this thread.

For me Its really Okay Gur...And we can't say Its Bashing.. Bcz In funny tone or just for little bit fun or Even to show anger towards the Story. Members normally used such Words Which u mentioned Gur..

But Here on this Forum.. There is one More Thing Now..which is Really Important..that u comes to know abt itt as well.. and that is Intentions of members... Yes.. if somone intentionally using such words to Hurt other member feelings..then its should be counted.. and Most of us really knws abt those members..
otherwise for me..Its really okay..if someone is using such words for Fun purpose or to show anger even towards the character..But If member is really creating topic again and again just To mention such words against any particular character or Posting Posts again n again then his/her intentions should be counted..bcz there is a limit of Frustration and anger.. AFTER ALL we all are much mature to understand Characters and Actors Difference..
So for me this Should be allow..but again i will say..Intentions should be counted.


Neeme yaar, I totally agree with you. Name calling isn't bad but it's people intention that matters more. We used to call Richa Witcha only after taking a proper poll and after every one agreed upon it; however, I remember certain member objected for Richa to be called Witcha in your rules and regulation thread so we stopped calling her witcha. Now they are asking us why do we feel bad If Richa is called Leech? Well why did they objected for Richa to be called Witcha back then? You must still have link to that thread right?

I am just trying to prove a point that If the same members supports or objects something it's fine but when others do it, they are the ones who have problems with it. How is that logical?

I am okay with name calling if it's done in a good humor only if certain members can stay true to their words. Since they keep changing their minds about the characters, we should act according to them? It sounds even funny to thing about it.
