Why is it like this?

This is a rant maybe, so here it is:

Many times I have noticed that members criticize an actor to many levels and tag them with names such as 'wooden plank,' 'barbie doll,' and yadda yadda yadda to get their point across which I have no conflict with, because it's an opinion. For example, lets just name Imran or Katrina as they are certainly easy targets since for the love of God, none can act or dance. But I have also noticed, as soon as their favorite is hooked up with the actor they were into criticizing, then suddenly for them Imran can act and Katrina can dance just because their favorite [in this case insert perhaps Deepika's or Sonam's name as many are fans of them on the forum] is being paired up with them in a movie or they are being linked up with them. Why is it so difficult to hold an opinion with also accepting the pair together? Just because you happen to criticize Imran who's coming up in a movie with maybe Deepika doesn't mean you like Deepika who's your favorite any lesser. Makes sense?

I can bet my left eye that many fans of Ms. Kareena Kapoor on the forum will cease the hate toward Shahid if today he is signed up with her in a big budgeted movie. Or I don't know...Katrina will somehow be a polished actor if she's signed opposite Ranbir or Shahid. Maybe you happen to like Priyanka, but you have to for some reason accept Uday Chopra too (even though you know deep down the man is good for nothing). Why so much pressure?

So what's up with this issue? Is it that hard to maybe accept facts if the talk is related to your favorite? It surprises me to witness how fans make a 180 with issues such as this. Ok, if you're already going to change colors then might as well don't 'bash' or 'criticize' extensively for it to be noticeable because after all this is B-town and any pair can come together for a movie.

Any views? You can pick on each other too. 😆

I agree for the most part. I've noticed some people switching sides on an actor as soon as they're paired up with a favorite.

But I do think it would take a lot more than Priyanka Chopra to make people start liking Uday Chopra.

Good thread.

Frankly, I will not be happy with Shahid if he works with Katrina in a movie. Infact, I will be more than upset. He will not be spared. Period. Of course, its not upto me, but I can def boycott the movie. Even though it will be hard cuz I lurve Sasha.

I have noticed that I do tend to like actresses who work with Shahid. Like earlier, I never cared about Genelia, but now I sort of like her. Same with Anushka, but its not like I become a major fangirl.

If Pankaj signs Kareena for Mausam, then I wouldn't really care or fall in love with her. I would be happy actually cuz Kareena is a good actress.

Oh and not all fans love their favorite's girlfriend. Many Salman fans dislike Katrina, Saif fans dislike Kareena, Ranbir fans tend to dislike Deepika too.

clearing out some misunderstandings from the Deepika crazens: NONE of us HATE Imran..some of have been hoping for the pair since forever, yes the others have a problem with his acting but hey, likewise, all of us have problems with our fav's acting abilities too (we are all aware of the fact that Deepika is no hot-shot in that dept.)..so yea, if u were hinting at us..errmm, we don't hate Imran..never hated him😃

carry on..got no input on ur topic besides the aforementioned stuff😊

LMFAO Riya, don't boycott the film. I will probably end up watching the film too but I won't spare any second to criticize it. However, I do hope that he is not paired up with her until she realizes that her 'Woh Ek Hard Core Anti Family Man Hai' dialogue is not worthy of getting nominations. I do agree with your examples and there are cases of that sort but then there are many other cases of the type on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Cinema-goer, I have been banned before so I think I know what I am getting into. 😆
Qwertyfied: I wasn't picking on the crazens to be specific but the general mentality of this forum. But I have definitely noticed members picking on his acting abilities and equating him with a wooden plank but it seems that a few opinions have transformed regarding him just because he is appearing with Deepika.

I completely agree with you Zainab but luckily for me the only pair I "OBSESS" about are Akki and PC and you gotta admit they are both awesome😎😎😆 But just because I like Akki doesnt mean I like all the actresses he comes with and Katrina is a fine example of that😆

Opinions changed because he is working with DP? 😕 I've always said he's wooden, more so than DP. But that is my opinion. That doesn't mean I dislike him. We've (Deepti and momo more than us) wanted to see them since JTYJN. They got us into them too. We have always liked him off-screen and how he treats Avantika. I don't know where people get these ideas..

About pressure to liking the star your favorite works with - Not really. DP worked with Saif. I don't like him and don't think I'll start. Regardless, I think he is a good actor and he has proven it.

Another example - Ashutosh Gowarikar. He comes across as a ____________. Especially after what he did to Priyanka on stage. That does not mean he is not a good director. He managed to get a good performance out of Harman & he seems to be trying to come up with a better movie now.

Here goes another sizzling post into your kitty, Ms. Zainab 😉
You have made some interesting points and I very much agree with what you have written. I shall give a more detailed post later on. But I just wanted to say that the last part about Uday Chopra.....now that aint gonna happen Find me MORE than TWO Uday fans (and I mean hardcore fans) at this forum and I will jump from my bedroom window, which is on ground level....
Aliens haven't landed yet, isliye Uday Chopra ke fans ke baare mein baat nahin karna 😆

Yes it makes sense. But this is an unanswerable question. It's just always like this. I actually love when people try and defend a celebrity (which they once hated) cause their fave celeb was just recently paired with them. Isn't it funny? Well it's funny for me.
