Harsh treatment:
Vote definitely goes to Salman Khan. They have always talked negatively about him. And when he succeeded they treated his success as some "bad trend", a result of audience tastes gone wrong. Now when they accept he is on top they still bring up his old controversies and court cases before they set out to write about success he achieved. They accept his stardom very very grudgingly.
Light treatment:
Amitabh Bachchan! His controversies on property and land just got covered up. When he did Nishabd and Cheeni Kum he was said to have scaled new peaks as actor (any other actor would've been called tharki!). They keep chanting Mahanayak mantra and ignore the snide digs he keeps taking at others on his blog or Twitter!
