Laila, genifan, nycsweetie and Jonaki,
After reading your posts, I am very concerned about the future of India Forums .. if bunch of critical and unhappy members like you regularly participate in discussions conducted by the intelligent members of the forum .... how can that forum survive .. I saved your posts in this thread without comments just so you do not alter or erase your nasty posts as I intend to report you to the moderators as you did not follow the forum rules by indulging into bashing and attacking the artists personally.
My perception after reading your posts is that members like you should be banned from IF because you will always be critical of these hard working artists ... your ban from the forum will save members like me from reading your ridiculously analyzed senseless critical posts ... please note that members like me prefer to encourage the talented artists by being positive about their work as I know they perform in the manner they are asked by the director of the show.
For your information:
Samta Sagar who was addressed by you as the "lady who plays Gauri's mother" .. in personal life Samta ji is a dignified beautiful lady and holds a Masters degree in Philosophy and her father was a renowned writer, she is very humble, sweet, down to earth and helpful individual and is a great poetess... professionally she is a very seasoned and highly sought after actress ... according to you she needs acting classes ... well if that was the case she would not be working in Sangini and would not be a part of the industry for the past 20+ years and not only that she works in soap operas she has also done theater, and only the talented ones can do both ... in America, where I am coming from, she is very popular and loved by Indians living in America for her work ... I got the above information about her after reading her interview published in a prestigious American paper ... I bet after this you have nothing bad to say about Samta ji.
Kunika Lal is the actress who plays the role of nani ... she is one of the most talented actresses in the industry ... if after Sudha ji anyone could play the role of nani it would be Kunika ji and for your information majority of viewers don't care how tall or short she is.
Binny Sharma she is not only beautiful but is a very sweet person, I have only read good things about her from the media articles..being a very new entry to the industry she has proved to be among the best ... not only that she is a graceful dancer, there is no doubt that she is a magical actress...the way she projects comfort in the scenes she plays in the presence of senior actors is just remarkable .... her recent award said it all about her talent.
I am sorry to say but you do not know where these talented artists are coming from so back off and do your research prior to bad mouthing these talented artists and keep your critical senseless and baseless views to yourself as I refuse to share them.
Heavens, I've seen some posts expressing intolerance but I rate yourse with the highest - five stars. Asking for people to be banned for expressing an alternative viewpoint on a show? And then asking those who "like" the posts to be banned as well? Just a note, I do have people who love my posts and email me regularly both here and on facebook. You can check my wall to find out. Moreover, you refer to others as "intelligent" which implies what about us? That only posts of your liking on or those that favor the show are worthy of being read and posted her? Yikes, that actually comes across as very arrogant.
I don't mind encouraging anyone, but I am not going to lie or pretend either. I have studied acting and directing and I do have friends (and relatives in this field). One of our close family friends happened to be the late Dr. Rahi Masoom Reza.
I do point out when I see something well-written, performed and directed. I do have contacts in this field as well. But even without these, a good post that critically examines a show or an actor etc, should never be banned even if it is of a show that I love or like.
As for your attempts to defend the actors in question. I would like to remind me that the actress who plays Gauri's mother was actually heavily criticised by the director himself and this article was published on India forums. Second, the attempts you've made are your opinions of the stars of the show These snippets offer me nothing regarding their acting. It includes nothing on their schooling, the school of thought on their acting, whose style they prefer, what they bring to a character etc. For example, where did they study, what techiques (such as Method, Stanislavski System etc). Watch Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio for more.
Every actor wants to grow and a great actor is willing to hear EVERYTHING not just the comments that favor them and I do write what they're doing right and what I see them doing wrong. If anything. And believe me, if you are going to be one, you want to read EVERYTHING good and bad. As for not liking my posts - don't read them.
I don't read the ones I don't like either😃.
