To clarify, I'm not a fan of any celebrity. Celebrity worship is something I can't wrap my head around. Fans treat their faves like they are gods who can do no wrong when actually they are human who make mistakes and are capable of acting purely out of self interest. I'm not trying to attack or single out Deepika and ranveer with this post because I think most celebrities are guilty when it comes to shameless self promotion. However, these two are so blatant about it, and pointing that out gets you a lot of unjustifiable, vitriolic hate from their fans and it baffles me. I've seen comments on other sites where people have questioned the genuiness if their relationship without making any personal attacks on RSDP and shippers have called them haters, losers, pathetic, and worse. I just don't understand it. But more on that later.
I used to like Deepika as an actor, but her off screen behavior has put me off completely that I can't even watch her films. I've never liked ranveer on or off screen. So there's that...
Deepika:
Over time, I've come to realize that she's not the person she portrays herself to be. What she says and what she does don't match up. Case in point, KWK 2010. She went on about how ranbir cheated her, but when he called her out on the very same show, she got all tongue tied and changed the subject when kjo probed her further. This was very two-faced. First off bashing him on national television and then attacking the media for prying into her personal life. None of us can really know if ranbir cheated or not; it's his word against hers. And honestly, it doesn't even matter to me. Ranbir has never portrayed himself as the best boyfriend ever. But for someone like Deepika to portray herself as a person with strong morals and values, going for the jugular like that on tv is really confusing. To add on to that, she still seems hung up on this "ranbir broke my heart, but we're super close and i can't stop dropping his name, but you're crazy if you think I'm obsessed with him" thing. That clustermess could be a topic on its own but its been discussed to death, so I'm not gonna get too deep with it. All I will say is that I don't know if she's still in love with him or not, but clearly there's some unresolved feelings on her end that she should probably resolve so we ALL don't have to hear about their messed up love story anymore. I'm so over it. My main point about her is that her actions tell me that she strives on getting sympathy and that's mainly what she's used to stay in the news and build her image on. She's an outsider, everybody wrote her off, she's suffered heartbreak. It's the other side of arrogance. "Look at how much I've struggled. Poor me." when that's probably what most people go through in their own lives. She's a walking, talking publicity stunt.
Ranveer:
Ugh...i don't even know where to begin with this guy. I don't get the whole "ranveer is the most genuine, secure guy ever" image he has. His actions tell a different story. When he first started, he said HIMSELF that he's an attention seeker and does things so people will like him. That right there tells you he isn't genuine or secure LOL. He's a people pleaser, so his decisions and words aren't coming from his expression of himself genuinely, but from his insecurities and need for people to like him. Yet he and his fans swear up and down that he has no insecurities. Thats not possible if you're a human being. So unless he's Buddha reincarnated, I'm not buying it. He's similar to deepika in that he strives on getting sympathy and portraying himself as too good for the bollywood games. I mean how many articles interviews were there about how deeply affected he was by playing khilji that he needed professional help or how physically difficult the role was. He's not the first actor to play a villain or a difficult, but it's portrayed like it was some Herculean feat and we should all be in awe of his dedication. That's his job for crying out loud. Secure people don't need to scream from the rooftops all
the time about themselves. They can just be. His image is carefully crafted as much as any other popular actor and it's so obvious. It seems that he wants everyone to believe that he's so genuine, so secure, the best boyfriend of all time and I don't buy any of it. Maybe I would if he didn't have his PR shoving it down our throats 24/7. I don't find him to be someone who really respects women either. He's made some statements about women that are very concerning for example that he's smarter than all the women he's met, calling women chicks, him boasting about losing his virginity at 12, etc. It comes off as him seeing women as an object and being an ego booster. It feels like his link up with Deepika is validation for him as a man like she's a trophy. If he really respects women as human beings, he would never have agreed to do that misogynistic jack and jones ad.
Deepveer:
I personally feel that their relationship is a showmance for the cameras. If you don't think it's possible for it to have gone on for 6 years, think of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. It's been 30 years, and it's common knowledge (unless you live under a rock) that their marriage is a sham, yet they still keep up appearances. RSDPs so called love story is nothing more than media hype and speculation. All they have to do is get clicked at the airport, or in a car or something and everybody screams COUPLE GOALS. Nevermind that in the very beginning they both said their link up was for Ram Leela promotions (please check me if you think I'm making this up), the weird W*F statements by deepika where she insults ranveer and openly says he's not a priority, her comments about her equation with ranbir and having vins babies, and them competing with each other via their PR teams. It seems more like they saw an opportunity for publicity by keeping this whole thing going. Ranveer gets to gain more popularity by being linked with her and deepika doesn't have to be the broken hearted girl in the press. It's a win-win for both. As I mentioned before, point this out and their fans make personal attacks for someone voicing their opinion. They act like their mother is being attacked or something. Fans say it's hateful to speculate and question about the genuiness of their relationship. But fans are doing the same thing. There are threads upon threads of their fans speculating if they're getting married, how close their families are, even when they started dating in the first place. How is that any different? Because they are fans, that makes it okay? Fans spew hate just as much as the so called haters. The only difference is that "haters" are talking about RSDP specifically and their fans attack other people for having an opinion different than theirs. It's mind blowing and not in a good way.
I just wanted to get this off my chest, and feel free to discuss. I don't want to start any fan wars or attack anyone. I just wanted to express my thoughts on these two.
