Are we too harsh towards celebrities? Do we go too far?

Sridevi was continuously discussed here even before her death. A lot of unsavory comments about her have been posted here forever. Even from the last couple of days we can read a lot of mean and nasty comments against her.

A lot of the same people are writing good things about Sridevi today and wishing her peace. So my question is why couldn't we be at least half nice to her when she was alive.

We never know which one of the celebs we bash may be next to pass away. Why can't we be slightly more kind and considerate?

Yes, we are too harsh...esp since we arent related to them at all and their decisions doesnt affect us at all, yet we judge them and bash them too much.

This has being a good lesson for me, And henceforth, I will try to not judge them so harshly.

I just posted on another thread that opinions are based on ones personal taste. I mean who judges or bashes people thinking about death. We are all going to die one day.
Today the person is dead so wishing them peace is human but that wouldn't change ones perception towards anyone. If someone wishes death upon a person that is sick but judging a celebrity based on looks, personal life isn't done taking death into consideration.
Within few days people will be back to judging even the dead.

Human nature.. It is human nature to judge others, fellow member as I keep on saying... Why do we judge celebs? Because we see what they do.. We also judge those near us and around us.. When you notice a guy standing by a bike with long hairs, it is quite common to think, ugh what a looserish/cool getup.. Does his getup affect us? No.. but we do think about that for a moment.. Same way, when you hear k paros ki larki apne class fellow ke saath bhag gayi, you judge her.. Did her bhagna have an effect on you? No.. But you judge.. We are humans.. We perceive things presented to us in our own way and then react accordingly.. If you had heard about the story of Sridevi/BoneyK and Mona as a non celeb story, you would still have given your opinion on it... the only difference is that the celebs are known to many and thus there are many opinions
As for why we are not kind and compassionate, sure we are.. When someone does something nice, we praise them.. Wasn't the forum being kind and compassionate to Mona? Did we know her? No.. but the story presented told us that she is the one at that time who deserved the kindness and compassion

I agree but remember Michael Jackson? even he went through a similar phase! But after he passed away, the same bunch who used to mock him 24/7 changed their tunes completely. Go figure!

Keeping the dead aside, if it is harsh to judge people on their misdeeds then it is also weird to praise someone to sky for something as simple as their profession of acting. Everyone has a profession but only the people in Bollywood or Cricket are spoken about in India and these people are even called as much as GREAT just for delivering a good performance. I don't see them complaining about their vanity and shallowness.
