Why audiences love toxic men? - Page 3

To be honest even women here are rather toxic. I mean Hema, Rekha, Zeenat, Meena Kumari, Waheeda Rehman, Parveen, Sridevi were all obsessed with married men. Or there are women like Jaya Bachchan who openly espouse regressive patriarchal values.

Those days is different from these days.

The underworld was heavily interested in the actresses, so they would be forced to entertain. Then they had to have "relationships" with the often married stars they worked with. Then there was the casting couch of the directors.

Very few respectable households would ever take them for their single sons. They made mistakes in getting involved with married men but a lot of times the married men were powerful and that was the advantage. For example Helen with PN Arora, then with Salim Khan who helped her from that case. It wasn't fair to Salma Khan, his first wife ofc.

I do judge the actresses post-90s who get involved with married men but the married men are as much to blame. (ie Sushmita has dated so many sleazy people, Rani...etc)

Because we have been taught to put them on a pedestal, we do not recognise how double dholki they are in real.

They act in movies and people get attracted towards their personality irrespective of what kind of people they are in actual.

Interesting thread and some great interesting points made by lot of members here.

I agree with one of the member where they mentioned like as an audience people love the actor not the person that the actor is in his real life coz they don't know what happens behind the close doors.

I am a toxic member on IF as well, why should i worry about others😆

I think people confuse chivalrous with toxic.. sensible women love chivalry, not toxicity.

I think because "opposite attracts" has always been fed to our brains as well, so naturally innocent girls are attracted to bad boys and vice versa. 😆
