On-screen jodi to off-screen pair: Why?

Why do most people have this craving to see their favourite onscreen jodi as an offscreen pair as well, especially if both of them are single? I've often wondered about this, particularly in the current context of all this mania about Michi hopefully turning to Shachi. This is what I feel.

I think that people like fantasy to be as close to reality. So when they see their favourite pair on T.V./movie, sizzling and scorching the screens they get so involved with them that they cannot accept that all that chemistry is just acting. If they do, then the whole make-believe world they have built around the couple comes crumbling down. So if this make-believe world has to last, then the onscreen jodi should become an offscreen couple as well. That way their chemistry is seen as real and the people can imagine that what was protrayed on screen was not all fake. This leads them to crave for the reel life jodi to become real life jodi as well.

That does not mean that the viewers always want their lead pair to get involved. If one or both of them are committed to someone else, then the viewers are willing to accept them as only reel life pair and enjoy their chemistry as such. Eg. Kajol and SRK. It is only when both are 'available' that this craving reaches a crescendo and sometimes becomes a self- fulfilling prophecy. They have examples of such jodis before them in the T.V. itself like Hiten-Gauri, Sai-Shakti, Rajeev-Aamna(dont know if they are still seeing each other), Eijaz-Anita, to name a few. So this emboldens them to hope more.

Well, what is in store for Shachi no one knows. They may end up together or they may not. Only hope that if they do end up together, it is for the right reasons and not out of some compulsion to keep up with the 'Jones'. And if they dont, we still have our Michi who will always sizzle our screens and give us memorable moments.

👏 👏 👏 ...

thank you opti...

I am trying to ignore the hole shachi thing...cause it isn't important to my... and second.. I have NO right to interfere in someone private live...

we fan's should see the difference between a actor preforming/ onscreen chemistry and someones private life....

Opti..a very good post.

I totally agree with you. People have the tendency to see an actor's acting as real (And that too if the actor is a very good actor as shaboo) then anything on reel is taken as real. Case and point Michi, they do share an explosive on screen chemistry but viewers afer seeing them emote so well want the same thing in real life.

It can happen as it happened for countless other couples. But as you said it should happen for all the right reasons.... 😳 @ We fans don't have the right to dictate someone's personal life. We as fans should enjoy the actors on screen and leave the offscreen part well alone..

Whichever way it goes...the only thing i've got to say is that both of them are really good on screen. 😳

They say that co-stars who develop chemistry on-screen and spend so much time together have higher chances of being attracted towards each other. Plus there is this mutual understanding due to the career they are in. We begin to love their on-screen chemistry so much that we assume that there must be something off-screen too.

Its something I wish I personally didn't feel. I wish I didnt feel the need to see SD together beacause I love ViSa so much. But its natural isn't?

Plus the media hypes sucessful on-screen jodis so much you start dreaming! Its unhealthy I tell you! 😛

opti, I dont quite know the reason..and infact I am not really pushing shachi, its their life/choices..But yup, if they get together in real life, it does feel good.

lIKE for RK and PD in KS, whenver I see them on screen, i am like they are just acting. but when yu see hiten/gauri', apoorva, etc..i feel its real :)

On another note, Me thinks as you have given examples of the tv actors, such examples abound in the film world.

Infact I guess with the khans/ salman and aamir this trend broke.

Ohterwise generally without fail, the lead pair (of the first film) do fall for each other invaraibly..we had examples of rishi/dimple; sunny/amrita and soo on.
Its another matter that at times these affairs dont last, but initially there is some spark.

I agree with whatever you have to say Opti..We as fans don't have the right to interfere in their personal lives..But its just that they share such a wonderful on-screen chemistry that we wish to see them like this in real life too...But again this is merely a hope, not that it has to happen...Plus if any on-screen pair does become an of-screen couple, it should be for the right reasons..Marriage and relationships are not a joke, and hopefully they are mature enough to understand that...
It is nothing else but a fantasy of many fans to see their on-screen couple become a real life pair..But again no one can change destiny...And i do agree that we also should be in our limits when it comes to their private lives...

Reemz, Pooja, I am not being judgemental here. I am only trying to explain what goes on the mind of a die- hard fan of a reel jodi. Yes, spending long hours together and being in the same profession can get a couple involved with each other. But that alone cannot determine whether the pair will be succesful. Pooja you yourself gave examples of silver screen jodis who are no longer together. If the two individuals get together because they do share a connection beyond the show or just the physical attraction, nothing like it.

Afterall there are people who work together in various professions who hook up with each other. The only difference between them and a screen jodi is that in the case of the latter there is this external influence in the form of media and frenzied fans who inadvertantly pressurise them to be a real jodi. I would hate it if a reel jodi get together because that is what is expected of them. The union would then be doomed from the start.

^No I completely understand what you are trying to say and I agree 😊 Im just explaining why fans begin to go beyond the jodi's on-screen chemistry. We don't have any right to determine whether they get together in real life or not. It is NONE our of business, while we can have a say in whether the on-screen jodi should stay together or not.

Ofcourse no pair should get together on the basis of the hype surrounding them. Thats plain pathetic!

hey, i didnt mean yu are judgemental..and agree with yur post..as for me, shachi or no shachi..michi is always good :)

media has a big role..but I dont think anyone would get into a rel coz of media.

def they may break coz of media :)

and yup, love marriages are on rise coz females are stepping out of hte houses and working with men :)

Opti. so u feel bad about my post but i just giving my opinion u guys dont have to agree with it its just wr like the pair and we as friend have right to tell them how and what we feel so please dont feel baddddddddddddddddd about it
