IF you didn't know about personal lives of celebs? - Page 2

Haha, would still be Akshay for me since I've been a fan of his since my childhood days. Which is way before IF existed or I even got to know about his personal life. He wasn't just the most attractive looking but also versatile in a way, while the others mostly stuck to one genre.

I still don't really care for personal lives of celebs..Yes its true that you can't help but get affected and some of their antics do end up annoying you but at the end of the day, its only about how well they sell their character and connect with you as an actor..For example, I don't really care for Ranbir as a person and i don't even have a high opinion about him per se but I love him as an actor and find him incredibly charming on screen..Ditto with say a PC or a Deepika or an Aamir..I don't exactly like any of these actors but when they act well and that film overwhelms me, the rest of it frankly becomes irrelevant..And am so sure most ppl here react on this forum/other social networking sites just to rile up ppl and most SRK fans probably enjoy and appreciate a good Salman Khan film in real life and vice versa ( apart from the crazy and extreme diehard fans😆)..So yeah, point is, in real life all these things frankly don't matter.. Ppl wont stop watching Bhajrangi Bhaijaan just because Salman got convicted or stop appreciating say Priyanka in BM just because she has affairs with married men 😆

I do agree with you but as you said personal bias does play a role, maybe not short timely but in the long run! Ranbir is one of my favourite actors- even though I do taunt him from time to time, but when I watch onscreen I do not give flying ass about his offscreen life! He is a delight to watch onscreen, and I want him to get good work acc to his potential regardless of how many affairs or what!
lol its not always they do to rile up, most of the times it's the blind supporters, usually those are not there in real life ! I'll not comment on the SRK Salman thing, because I've actually seen blind fans of them where they would not go to watch the other's movie whatsoever! 😆

@bold- I think it does matter! Maybe it's a mix of personal life & script choices but it matters! Actors become successful because they manage to amass fans! If you are a fan of somebody you go to watch their movies whatsoever! Liking an actor one time or the other doesn't guarantee that you'll go watch their movies always. And for success you need the crowd to come always for you! For eg- if somebody dislikes PC, they'll not go to watch her movie unless you get good reviews! A good image guarantees fans to some extent! Ranveer Deepika have so many shipper fans for example.
