You are wrong my friend. Just because a person chooses to appear in a field that puts him/her in the public eye, does not mean that their private lives are open to discussion.
By this token - it is ok for students to discuss the private lives of their teachers in school and even create and spread gossip about them. This kind of attitude is the one that saw the demise of Princess Diana being chased by those butchering paparazzi.
When a person appears in a public sphere, only the work that brings him/her is open to discussion and not the private life. We cannot be putting cameras in actor's toilets, just because they chose to act.
We are not talking of Page 3 appearances here, nor are we talking about articles/news that are released by the PR agencies of the actors' themselves. Almost all actors say that they do not want to discuss their private lives. In their interviews they talk about their work and not private lives. When they are in a relationship, a few choose to disclose it to public. Such disclosures are of course open.
We are talking of unfounded speculation about private lives. Creating stories and idle speculations are to be condemned. These sort of discussions only encourage wastrels to destroy the lives of people. The people who create and spread rumors about others are simply sick in mind, who derive pleasure in destroying others.
By the way do you realize that the tagging structure in India-Forums is so strong that almost the first link you would see on Ravi and Sargun would be an article or post published here. Doesn't that tell you how vicious this sort of attack is? Every time someone searches for these actors the first page would carry a link to this rumor.
By keeping quiet about such threads and posts we are therefore allowing people to destroy the public image and characters of people we like. We are also helping create a negative image of India-Forums too as a place where unfounded rumors about actors thrive.
None of us would want to be part of such muck-raking I think. This is why it is imperative that we act responsibly and nip all such malicious attempts in the bud.
