So today Rey was glorified as the All vanquishing Shirt-less Hero while Swayam winces in Pain when his sister touches his knuckles ?? What was being implied in that scene ... that Rey ALONE can take a hit and not Swayam .. ?! š”
And this post is NOT about whoz hot whoz not .. this is NOT a Rey/Swayam comparison post but about the kind of message that is being sent out !
Ok we get it . Amarjeet works out. And that makes his fans very happy and sends them to 'Phan-gurl heaven' or whatever they call that place they land up in when he takes off his shirt. Oooh . Aaah. I get it š³ Rey's Fans seem to like topless displays and they are repeatedly offered such fan-service in terms of Shirt-phaading Street fighting jigs. Amarjeet is one of D3's better actors .. so why not focus on THAT ?!?! Chalo .. I do NOT have ANY problem with that , I dont watch D3 for Rey so it doesnt bother me .. CVs will do whatever they feel does justice to him and his fans. Well and good. Thats not my point.
My point is ... I DO watch for Sharon/Swayam/Nilesh/Simmi/Rinni .. so here's my gripe. WHEN will they stop poking fun at Swayam's physique !?!? Like WHEN ?!?!! During the "Chale Chalo" sequence Swayam was shown trying to lift weight , toppling over and then crash landing on the floor while the weight pins him down. Something VERY similar was repeated during the "Dil ke armaan aansoun mein beh gaye" sequences .. and during KSG's stay in D3 .. Swayam's 'bodybuilder' physique was toh a RUNNING gag.
Yes I GET IT. He aint no Muskel-God type that usually has the phangurl brigade foaming at the mouth .. but its not like he is too skinny/lanky or anything ! He looks lean, seems to have a wide frame and comes across as pretty athletic ... so why do they keep insinuating that Swayam is skinny and Weak and shit ?! š” Does everyone have to resemble Hulk in order to please the (rabid) HAWT-crazed variety !? And WHY is it always about fan-service ? For ONCE .. why cant it be about QUALITY ?!?! Why cant they focus on Swayam's many OTHER qualities .. his brains , resilience or even patience for that matter ?! Why do they have to make it look like his physique is his short-coming (GODDAMMIT its NOT !!) and then highlight it TIME and again ?? During a HTH Combat .. It is NOT about how bulky/beefy you look but the kind of stamina you posses to repeatedly hit and dodge the offending vermin at the same time, the kind of strain ur ligaments can take and ypur reflexes !
I remember once there was a HUGE issue over some Swayam haters calling Shantanu "Papad" and back then it really pissed me off .. but now I dont blame them as much. Agar CV's hi yeh sab dikhayenge toh how can we blame ppl !??! Its them writers who come up with such scenes .. and they are the cause of all these comparisons and jibes over an actor's physical appearance !!
This post is not as much about defending "Swayam" or anything as it is about working the mindset of the youth in the wrong direction . Swayam is fictional and Shantanu is a FINE Actor and a CLASS dancer, his work speaks for him, he doesnt NEED me to speak for him and most definitely not in this area. As a fan he gives me NO chance to complain. This post was largely the result of a year's pent-up frustration over watching D3 send out such SICK messages to masses, that in order to be perceived as "Cool" and "Attractive" one has to look like they shower in steroid-water and pump iron as long as their diaphragm would permit ! As a youth show D3 has a LOT of responsibility in terms of implications of its script and the effect it might have on the youth ! What if a 15 year old decides Swayam is not cool enough cuz of his lack of the kind of 'physique' deemed 'attractive' and celebrated by this God-forsaken industry .. and decides to take Steroids !??! Physiatrist Dr. Kenneth Mautner, MD, of Emory University on steroids : "They are not good for you. It is like Russian roulette. Five people may take them and have no long-term problem. The sixth may end up dead."
