Brother, I am a great admirer of your write up and find your comments logical and practical. 😊
However, I want to share my PoV on the bold part. In II12 many things were done for the sake of TRP. Aru was a contestant and there must be an agreement between the contestants and II authority. May be we don't know if there was no reservation from Aru's family, the TCT would go beyond what they showed in II12 for TRP.
Allowing to do all the stints in II12 does not mean that Aru and her family have given a blank cheque to Octopus to do the same in the MV and even go beyond. The context of II and Octopus project is not the same. Whatever the intention of Octopus was it has been largely perceived after MD that they are focusing on Aru's looks than her singing quality.
The madness of Arudeep fans, calling Aru 'bhabi' and / or shouting 'shadi ho geya kiya' during UK concerts along with Surani's IV with YT channels where interviewers suggested kissing scene etc. definitely have a role in Aru's decision.
Arudeep was a TRP stunt for II12 and that does not mean it will go for life long. Using real name in MD was a very shameful and cheap act from Octopus. MD crossed the limit of definition of MV affecting personal life of a budding talent like Aru. Becoming part of a successful MV is desirable but not at the cost of personal image, not at the cost of career as a singer.
In these days it is acceptable that the trollers have the right to throw mud to any celebrity but it is not acceptable that the family members of the celebrity have the right to clarify their position.
I am happy that Aru's brother clarified their position. He might delete the comment but the message is well delivered and acceptable to me. 🙏
