Sameer Arora's reply to my tweet on Ronnie's death - Page 2

That was rude is to say the least

That's why I always keep a distance from these people

He seems to be averse to positive criticism but anyways that's his choice

Glad I never spoke to him or anyone else on the crew

Sammeer sir is one of the nicer creatives/writers on twitter. otherwise I have seen writers refer to audiences as dogs or fools. it's quite disgusting.[/DIV]

He never shoved his perspective down anyone's throad, only said he wrote the story that seemed right to him and others are welcomed to disagree or switch channels. Maybe his second tweet came across as rude because it is hard to decipher tone and expression on the internet, but he was being honest as well. As a writer, He cannot please everyone or write the story as per viewers wishes. Maybe he could have phrased it better so it sounded less rude.

@ Moner_Radio : I hav already made this remark on several posts earlier so now this is the last time. The writer is not paid to write your stories or script that any Forumites wants to see! He has a story which he would like to say, in his own way! 😊 If anyone doesn't like it, pl criticise. That's all.

Just because the writer is on twitter and replied to some messages in the past, all of you hav become too confident about your opinions. He has the right to say what he feels, which he did...If Rajeev Khandelwal and team at Reporters like him and the Producer/Director also are his admirers, they would definitely work together, irrespective of whether IF likes him or not... 😃

If his comments on Twitter should also be what the Forumites want, its asking too much. 🤣 Am glad he finally spoke his mind. 👍🏼

Voicing one's opinion is not about being overconfident. It is one's reaction as a viewer. Yes, story is his baby. But it is sold to us as a "product", where viewers are "customers". There is nothing wrong with customers giving feed back on the product they used.

I have never tweeted to any people (actors or any other member of the unit) in Reporters. I am not interested. But if someone registers their dissatisfaction, there was a better way to respond. No need to tell off somebody, they can use some other product. They know. They would do. Half the people who are left watching reporters, are not watching it for Sameer Arora's story. Some are watching it because of their favourite stars. People like me are watching it because, it is going to end anyway. (If it was not a limited show, I would have quit watching it long ago).

I liked this fact in the beginning, he did not tweak his story for the demand of TRP. As a writer, if Ronnie's death gives him more creative satisfaction, so be it. But this is not the attitude to respond to viewers. Writer of some other serial may be ever ruder. That cannot be justification for his rudeness. Yes, sometimes comments can unnerve anybody. He could have just ignored that tweet, rather than such a reply.

@flipflop : Agree with you completely on this take of yours. Hats off Buddy for showing the guts to point out the crude fact...

@Danseuse : I agree that story is indeed the baby of writer but when the same baby gets exposed to others, either it gets criticized or praised. And if the parents are really WISE then they take the criticism positively and does not lash out the critics but on the contrary help their baby to improve however, there are some stern parents who stick up on the fact that their baby is PERFECT and that leads ultimately not only the parents but the baby also to disaster... this is the world where even God is criticized, then who is Mr. Arora? Is he more than God?

And now when we, the viewers who have been the reasons for the survival of the show, are criticizing, then, we are being snatched with that right also, great!!!

Moreover, this is not the case of one fan, Mr. Arora has given similar arrogant and rude replies to other fans also every time specifically telling them to watch other serials. He has been kind only to those viewers who believe in unnecessarily praising him. What is he trying to say that we the viewers were stupid or rather are stupid to watch this show? Isn't he aware of the fact that 90% of the viewership of this shop is due to only one reason - THE RAJEEV KHANDELWAL? In fact, there have been many people who preferred not to watch it since, they felt this serial also would have the same fate like EHT.

Never ever, it was mentioned in the show that the viewers are ONLY ALLOWED TO PRAISE NOT CRITICISE AT ANY COST ELSE THEY WILL BE INSULTED BY THE WRITER. If they had given that statutory warning at the beginning, we would have been at least prepared.

I am here reminded by the reaction of Rajeev Khandelwal at the time of ONS.. I don't want to compare since there cannot be any comparison with Mr. Sameer Arora with Rajeev Khandelwal. In spite of being a celebrity, when Rajeev was bombarded with negative reactions, he not only politely handled everything but also remained calm throughout the incident... This is maturity!! At this juncture of popularity, Rajeev affords to be rude but he didn't go for that option...

Moreover, if Sameer Arora has the right to say anything he likes and insults anyone, even, we as individuals have the right to raise our voices
