@ amrita - nice topic babes........and I know you....I guess i know what prompted you to make this thread................😉
I've voted for option
others ---last one............. I know I may be the only one here to opt for it......
and that other reason is --
Attachment and addiction...!! If I was allowed to opt for more, it would be
entertainment and purely entertainment !!....again i am the only one who says that.....the reason that made you think....!!
I can explain---- I may take long, I apologise beforehand.........
I'll give an analogy of films--- I am a complete movie buff and practically thrive on films...apart from food and air...and now RBO........i watch a lot of movies, and most of the times I keep watching my collection over and over again....I am a fan of Amitabh Bachchan....apart from others on which i actually drool....but Amitji...i just love him....after any hard day, i'll pick up any movie or mostly Amitabh movie and chill out....and I spend my offs and holidays watching movies...I am an indoor person....
Now............no matter how much I love him, how much I love the story/ concept/ direction everything I somehow am not able to watch Muqaddar ka sikander....can't see him in so much pain...can't see him dying and even when i'm writing this, i go through pain as i don't even like discussing that movie....though it was a masterpeice.............i can't take that much pain....even a film like Sholay, i watched so many times but everybody knows I stop it before the climax only because when i see him in pain or dying,.....my whole day and next day is spoilt............this goes for all the movies with my favourite leads in it, whether it is Shashi kapoor or Hrithik........i am amongst those who cry while watching sad scenes...................I love happy happy movies........It's not running away from reality or being escapist.........but it's about feeling good when you need it........
I don't know about others but I see a film or TV to de-stress........I see a lot of pain....death....crying ....misery.....misfortune......badluck and poverty in my hospital so much that I get completely freaked out........I don't have the time or money to pay, to see that in fiction too............i'm sorry, not my cup of tea....!!
I can never read sad books for same reason..............I need entertainment and not headache, brooding over the sadness.....
I get attached to everything which makes me smile and believe in love...........
So....... Yes, I love Shanak..........but I don't see RBO just for them because I'm sorry....if tomorrow, God forbid....if they show any of them dying or in severe pain going on for months.....I might not be able to continue........
I watch RBO because they make me smile, make me believe in goodness,believe in love and make me happy at the end of the day!!........
I love the concept or the story but it is part of the entertainment..............I love everything about RBO presently-- story, music, cast , premise everything .................and now I am completely attached to it....So, the answer is - Attachment and addiction.........because of the heights of entertainment factor !!!
