Dear Friends and Moderators,
I have a question to ask. Please this is my humble request to every one, I want to understand this.
I have noticed that there have been many threads talking about how many members do not like the actress portraying the new Gopi. Some members used harsh words, some members were more polite.
Then I was a post from the moderator "Enought Bashing Devoleena"
With all due respects to the moderator - Yuks and the actress. I like to give my two cents worth. Moderators please feel free to close this topic if you feel its inappropriate.
1. Comparison is very natural.
We have been used to a certain actress for more than two years. Then one fine day we see another actress. Fine we should give the actress time to settle in. However the second actress should have some standard if not 100% she should atleast be 80% there. Sorry to say, in this case the new girls was not even 50% there.
The new actress was introduced at a day's notice. One night we see the usual gopi and the next day we see another girl, how can there be no comparison? If the new girl has taken up the challenge of playing an existing character then she better be good enough if not better. The onus is on her to get accepted and not on the audience to accept her.
Pls give the audience a break.
2. Constructive ciritisims.
We are the audience. We have the right to say if we like or dislike a certain actor. However it shoud be backed with logic. For example, I dislike Nazim because he is monotonous. He should work on his diction. If Nazim improves his diction he will be a perfect actor.
In the above example, will this be considered bashing or constructive critisism.
3. Many views
We are a forum, should we always say good things. In fact we should discuss everything good and bad. If the actors or creatives come on the forum, they shoud know what people think of their acting, their appearance, their attitude.
I would like to apologize if I have broken any forum rules. Pls do advise me and feel free to close this topic if deemed inappropriate.
Anna
