Agree that he was popular before. But people will only vote for u on the basis of ur game. Rashmi was most popular before entering bb but now look at her even sana who was unknown has become more popular than her. Previous popularity will only work in initial episodes but it wont in the long run, ex daljeit.Originally posted by: lifeiscool
I started watching bcause i used to find sid handsome as i had seen him in many serials , his first one was in 2008 babul ka angann on sony. Then he was seen in balika vadhu . Most of the ppl know him since his balika vadhu stint as it was one of the leading shows in terms of trp so many ppl used to watch it. He was also in humpty sharma ki dulhania , so u can imagine there will be a large audience who has seen that movie and recognise him. I didn't know asim riaz , how often do we recognise models in ads and know their names. Instagram doesn't matter, he's a known face. Everyone in the industry knows him. Even alia bhatt was quizzed about his stint in bigg boss , so many ppl know him from bolly and tv industry including karan johar , hence he was already very popular. It's not about if you and me knew him or not but the fact is tv medium covers a large audience and balika vadhu has been popular in evry household and ppl recognise him from there.
