When telebugs bite stars...


Tring Tring…Hello?.....Not again! I'm not interested in any schemes…..Don't disturb me!.……What the *%#$........BANG!

No prizes for guessing that we're talking about pesky telemarketers. Even you must have been a victim of these deadline-marked sales people who try cracking a deal with anyone and everyone! They have mastered the act of bugging their customers as well as prospective customers to death.

Tellychakkar.com talks to a few actors from tellyland, who had similar encounters. Here we give you their reactions which literally goes to show how their patience has been tested!

Ram Kapoor

"I get frustrated"

They call me all the time. I would be lying if I say I don't get frustrated, but I try and keep my cool. I am very civil with them for the simple reason that when I was studying in US, I did telemarketing too. So I exactly know what these callers go through and trust me it's a lot of hardwork.


Bobby Darling

"She started asking me questions about my sex life..."

It's so irritating! I am very rude to them as they refuse to understand when I tell them, 'later'! I recall this incident when a girl from a cellular service provider called me explaining her scheme and got to know that she is talking to Bobby Darling. Later she started asking me questions about my sex life and wanted to know how I feel being a woman. All I did was abuse abuse and only abuse!

Cezzane Khan

"I am not interested..."

They always call me when I am in the middle of something. Before they can finish saying that they are calling from so and so, I interrupt and tell them that I am not interested.


Mandira Bedi

"Their schemes never help me..."
I get frustrated all the time! And their schemes never help me. They just go on saying that they will take only five minutes but I cut them off saying, 'no thank you I don't need anything!'

Manav Gohil


"I have done it all in 1995!"
I just tell them to grow up! We have done it all. I used to call up people in 95' using my marketing tactics. And telemarketing is now used in all fields these days. So every second hour we have someone or the other calling up.

Juhi Parmar


"I try to keep my cool"
I hate attending their calls, as they call at any hour of the day. They just refuse to understand that we are busy people and have loads of pressure throughout the day! It gets on to my nerves, but I try and keep my cool.

I do agree with Mr. Ram Kapoor. I got frustrated too, but I do understand thier pressure as a marketer and it's simply a part of thier job. We should not be up-set with them. I was in USA for 9 years, indirectly I had the same experience like Mr. Kapoor. Although I was a banker for 5 years in there, still we used to have a per week target to fulfill to convince people to open a new account. So, I do realize how stressful it is to fulfill the target.That's why I always try my best to give full sympathy and respect to thier job, even though I am not buying anything from them. But it is also true some of them are really annoyed.

Ram kapoor's attitude about telemarketing again proved that he is a very sensitive and polite person, who has the sympathy with those people who are mostly avoided by other people. I can call this attitude as putting yourself in that position before you make any comment about a specific point of view. Thanks a lot.

My posting about telemarketing seems to be vanished from the list. I really don't know what happened to that.
