Difference between actor and character

I am noting that some members treat Deepika as Sita means the character Sita of old Ramayan and Debina as Sita means the character Sita of new Ramayan.

But this kind of thinking is completely wrong.

Please appreciate the fact that there is a big difference between actor and character.

If something related to Sita was shown in any of the Ramayans and you think it was not proper, what it really means is that you disagree with what the creatives of that Ramayan show. This is not the same as disagreeing with how Deepika or Debina performed a role.

To drive the point across, let me take a hypothetical example. Suppose (just for the argument) that Sagars show in the new Ramayan that Ram takes out a machine gun and shoots Ravan. You may say that they showed wrong. But it does NOT mean that Gurmeet's acting was wrong.

Please keep this distinction in mind.

but avinash dont u think comparision polls r unneccesry. I dont want to critisize the legendry old ramayn. I thinks such polls r not fruitful n create misunderstandings

Starting comparison topics per-se is not against IF rules. But how exactly people do comparisons may be against rules. So, if I find that comparisons are being made in an unfair way, then I will lock that thread.

Yes, if a majority of members have a problem that old Ramayan is being discussed then a mods must make it a rule and not allow anybody to do so...As far as repeatedly creating the same topics, it's impossible to go through all the pages of the forum to check whether or not a similar topic has been created..When I created one or two similar messages , which i never knew were created earlier, it was said that I am trying to disrupt the peace of the forum by raising the same topic again and again..only when someone pointed out what i exactly did, i came to know the problem..

it's my request akhl..plz pass this rule that neither old Ramayan, it's actors or anything not related to NDTV Ramayan must be discussed, nor it's criticism is allowed....i think it'll improve the sitation..
