Media keeps writing about every star, his/her films, fans all the time across all mediums. Most of the times media is harsh, nitpicking and jugdemental about stars and their films. For some stars they manufacture controversy even if there's none.

Which are the stars who in your opinion, get let off easily by media?Who are the ones whose scandals, mistakes, failures get covered up or are treated lightly?

On contrary, who are the ones who seem to be punching bags of media?Whose every action is scrutinised and even past controversies are dug out?

Please share your thoughts!

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!

I think among females Kareena is media's punching bag. They make headlines about every remark in her interviews. Some very tasteless articles came in media when she got married - like how the couple looked unhappy and how she picked an older, divorced man.

i guess salman's straight-forward,damn-care attitude never gelled with media 😆 even after the super success of MPK he didnt get films for 1 yr awards have been snubbing him b4 dabangg(although he was snubbed there too 🥱) even after so much negativity and controversies a man surviving 23 yrs in the big bad world of BW is truly sth👏

Lets not forget Deepika. She is taunted and bullied by the media all the time. People and the media need to release that there are limitations that should be followed. Media , specially indian media can be so rude towards bollywood stars.

I also think that Bachan Ji is taken to lightly by the media. He was in so many controversies ,but he is taken so lightly
