Although I understand your reaction and - equally - it may not be "a big issue" for doing a fact check... however, to me, fair titles/intros into a subject, are something important as media (social and otherwise) more & more focus on clickbait titles/intros which contain lies/bias/disinformation/manipulation etc.

I give an example with the Hollywood Reporter and Aryan (+ team) winning at the 7th Screenwriters Association Awards a week ago:

in biiig black letters: "Aryan Khan Sweeps Comedy Writing Honours For ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ at SWA Awards"

under the introducing pic: "Aryan Khan wins big at the SWA Awards"

Why do I write this when actually nagging about some topic titles here? Well, it's about a false picture given from the get-go... only if reading the whole article (= fact check) one finds the lie in the title... unfortunately a lie that has a negative impact, as much on the SWA as on Aryan (if people only go with the title in their comments):

Supposing that the Internet will be quick to scream "nepotism", any criticism regarding Aryan Khan’s recent SWA (Screenwriters Association) Award for The Bads of Bollywood needs a much more nuanced look, imo.

1 - bad light on the Association: The HWR titles suggest that the Writers Association disregarded that The Bads of Bollywood was officially a team effort co-written with experienced creators like Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan (alluding at a nepotism-bias for this award and demeaning it). As I wouldn't buy that Aryan would take the "Writing Honours" without Bilal and Manav, i read the whole article (the winner list + photos)... and bingo!

2 - bad light on Aryan: very bad if - indeed - not checked for verification ("what??? this guy is just another of those entitled Nepos and his PR in full swing" ... etc) - but the 'erasure of the team work' in the two titles deliberatly makes people think this way, it's what actually triggers the public backlash (when not look for more accurat/ethically honest information).

By reducing a shared team triumph to a single celebrity headline, media fuel the nepotism debate themselves. In addition, it does a massive disservice to Aryan Khan (who clearly respects the team work) and deeply undermines the essential contributions of Bilal and Manav.

No other Aishwarya fan had a problem with this petty thing.

Such a big essay is not needed. This thread has nothing to do with Aryan. I already deleted the word new from the title before you posted this.

Okay, I guessed you might misunderstand it and take it as a personal attack... I simply wrote about Aryan because of the opportunity to give a very recent example of what I meant... and btw., I'm not an Aishwarya "fan"... I simply am not a hater or disliker

Sorry for mis-using your thread... as I don't make threads anymore, I took a wrong example by bringing a person not talked about in this thread (Maybe somene else could make a thread about the winning and then I can put it there and delete it here...)
