However, the thing is, it's highly unfair to compare bollywood vs tellywwod stars. Bollywood stars are news even if they sneeze, they don't really have to 'do' anything to be in news. However, while the tv stars work 3 times as hard for the one tenth of the money a bolly star gets, they still have to do things to be in limelight. Especially the ones who love attention.
see Minnie,that's the biggest flaw with television..The quantity is there,but there's no quality...
Agreed the television stars works much harder,but how effectively..??
Its very seldom that we get to watch a masterpiece from a television actor...90% of the work they do is plain run of the mill.....
Agreed a handful of television actors are really good(Hiten,Ram Kapoor and perhaps even Apoorva😊)..But its like one performance in like 6 months.....Its not their fault,its the scriptwriters' fault that they pen hackneyed storylines...But sadly,its not the scriptwriters who bear the brunt....television sadly is money for old rope,and these actors IMPROVE over the span of 3 years...We cry foul that Bollywood actors get chances,but we forget to think the number of chances the television actors get to improvize..Everyday is a chance for them,every scene is a chance..Whereas in the big screen,Unless one is really really good,one finds it hard to survive(notwithstanding the star kids)
The amount of censure and vitrolic criticism the bollywood stars garner is humongous..... Everyone's performances,right from Abhishek's to Hrithik's has been ripped apart to shreds by the scribes..Whereas,thankfully for the television stars,no one reviews their performances....Being in Bollywood is tougher than being in television...In television,there's hardly any pressure as such...One just needs to click with the niche audience,whereas stars of the silver screen are bogged down with the pressure to look good 24/7,to invariably deliver powerhouse performances(orelse they'd come in for severe flak)....Whereas television actors make a heavy weather of their mediocre emoting 😕
When I go to watch a good bollywood movie,I do feel satisfied,I do feel that I've got my money's worth...Sadly,that's not the case with television......anyone can do television,the only requisite is that one has to dress up in a good fashionable way....I mean,90% of the television actors are plain ordinary....The new finds Prachi Desai,Pallavi(the girl playing gauri in KAA),Mouni roy etc are just not exceptional..Their looks,acting,dialogue delivery everything is low to middling.

Now, saying Bollywood stars never do anything to gain attention ......or behave badly in public...........umnnnn I am amused. the other name for Bollywwod is gossip.
Yes Minnie,all scribes are predominantly gossipmongers...and Every Bollywood star is written about,but its all initiated by the media..They themselves dont go on record to reiterate their stances on the squabbles/gossip....They are extensively written about,but they personally dont go around giving interviews(barring certain people whom we've allready mentioned)

Any star, big or otherwise, and wants to be in news, does things which would keep him/her in public. So we have a Salmaan - Ash washing their dirty linen in public
umm,Ash had serious problems with Salman,yet it wasnt that she gave interviews left right and centre...Especially not ash,she being a fiercely private person...All people got to read was one interview,whereas television actos make a huge deal about their break ups(SS for example..She kicked up a rumpus when Arjun Punjj dumped her,and washed her dirty linen in public)...For the television actors,its like,anything goes amiss,its their field day...Anything goes wrong/right,some 50 articles in the offing🤢...They'll cash in on it👎🏼..Publicity of any sort is publicity🤢

I dont know about the older fights,but about Karishma..well,it wasnt her who gave an avalanche of interviews..🤔...The media reported every small development,but Karishma herself didnt badmouth sanjay 😕

you are forgetting that SRK was also a bolly-wannabe when he started in his telly world through fauji - so yes he was also a hiten/eijaz of his time
SRK marketted himself well....and As I said,marketting oneself is different from stooping to unfathomable lelevs just to be written about....As I said,Pawan Shankar markets himself well,without going overboard👏..He's always spotted at the right parties,he too gives n number of interviews,but all of them are work oriented...Its not like he brings in his wife and clings onto her and sticks to her like adhesive for publicity🤢..Neither did SRK publicize about Gauri.....😛

anusha and sheenz, i have noticed that whenever you do compare the telly actors or actresses to bollywood you follow only 5 comparisons 😛
John-bipasha/SRK-gauri/The bachchan family/Roshans 😕
Vs
Apoorva-shilpa/iqbal-sneha (maybe)/ shakti-sai(maybe)/manini-mihir 😕
what about gauri-hiten, manasi-rohit, delnaz-rajiv?
Rohit Mansi are nice,but Rohit does admit that he hits on women for fun😕,and he also admits that mansi doesnt mind it...😕
Rohit roy recently had an altercation with his Viraasat co-stars,and he did give several interviews.But thankfully,the man didnt go overboard
Rajeev and Delnaaz might not cling and smooch in Public,but Rajeev's NB stunt cannot be so easily forgotton...He badmouthed certain other contestants who used to badmouth him😆...He too made many a controversial statements
Hiten Gauri per se are dignified,but even Hiten made a huge hullabaloo when he didnt want to accept the award for the supporting actor,only because the previous year,he was nominated in the best actor category😕...and many a times,Hiten is badly dressed at parties a la his BFF Yash Tonk..But notwithstanding all this,yes he is dignified......😃

and as far as bollywood actors and their lives -
salman ( i dont even wanna start), akshay (and what all he did before he settled with twinkle), sanjay dutt ( 😕 ), imraan hashmi (and his famous affair with a married woman), amir khan (and not just leaving his wife but celebrating his 2nd marriage like he was 26) amisha patel (and the very few that she ever gets along with) the kapoors (who never cease to be out of major family problems) mallika sherawat (and how she loves herself more than romeo loved juliet) sushmita sen (dont know if ankahee was true to life... but she was also responsible for making the life of married woman miserable neverthless) ash (and her falling reputation with how she deals with men in her life) saif (rosa), preity (many many men), rani (what the hell was govinda doing in her life?)...
All the above agreed(BTW,some are rumours shradds😛)....For starters,no one said that the bollywood actors are better human beings than the television actors😛..Salman is the public enemy No 1,a 40 year old who yet has to grow up,Ash(as much as I might love her) unceremoniously dumped Vivek ,Priety has had many a boyfriends....Every star has a skeleton or two in their closets....But,how judgmental can we be,by just reading what the media tells us.....You might say that telly stars might be made the victim of false allegations,but here these people themselves give interviews,something that Ash and PZ dont do
But lashy,this is their personal life,which they try to keep private,but they being in the public eye,invariably get written about.....Alot of space in the dailies is devoted to these people's lives...Infact,being written about and being projected in bad light is not how Priety and Ash want the world to conceive them..But,thanks to their status and their profession,they are being written about....
Whereas,the television actors themselves pull off antics just to be written about( a la SPA)....They would publicize their break up's themselves,their weight loss,their engagements(recently manoj bohra offered Mid Day the "privilege"😆 to publish his engagement photographs,something he was mocked by Mid Day for😆)
And sadly,90% of the telly stars are of the same ilk...They give the SAMEEEEE interviews,they reiterate the SAME cliches(C'mon...How many times has SS said that her husband is the most good looking man in India,How many times has Mona spoken about her movie that never ever happened,how many times has Rakshandha spoken about her love for Irrfan Pathan,How many times has IQbal spoken about his love for his girlfriend,how many times has Iqbal spoken about his visa application's being rejected and his being discriminated,how many times have Iqbal/Neha spoken about their tiff,How many times has Mona spoken about Karan Oberoi(and afterall,they ARE dating😛),How many times has Mona's weight loss/weight gain been written about,How many times has Mona said that she wants a break,how many times has Parmeet badmouthed JJKn,How many times SS spoke about her stint in JJKN,and how many times has the tsarina ekta spoken about her fondness for Prachi,How many times has Kekta said that her new show is going to be very different(which always proves to be wrong lol)... ...countless.....).....All I'm saying is,they need to relax and give themselves as well as the world a break!Period!..They direly need to learn how to smartly publicize themselves...Plain reiteration becomes monotonous and tiring to read,and it serves no purpose.. Mona couldnt clinch a movie because she gave interviews...If they have nothing to say,they shouldnt just give interviews for the heck of it...As it simply talks about the amount of free time at their disposal😛(which aint all that great a thing for a successful star)

I find preity, mallika sherawat and amisha patel incredibly shrieky and clingy as well.
Priety's dating Ness,she doesnt cling on to him😕...priety's ex dumped her,and she didnt go around cribbing and ranting to the whole world that she was unfairly dumped...Ash dumped Vivek( for whatever personal reasons which BTW is none of our buisness),he didnt go around publicizing it..Bipasha dumped Dino,and as much as dinosaur( a ka dino) might be annoying,he didnt badmouth bipasha or give 245566 interviews👏
and besides,we see these bolly stars only at awards and premieres,and thus even if they hug their friends,it doesnt come across as an eyesore,as its in moderation(lashy,your golden path😛..moderation moderation😉😆)...But,the television stars enjoy over exposure,and thus seeing them cling every second day is a major eyesore🤢
All in All,tellywood stars need to grow up,and need to learn how to carry themselves with dignity
another analogy...ABhishek Bachchan and Priety Zinta were quite frivolous and naughty on Koffee with Karan,they did let their hair down and had a field day..But it didnt come across as gross or cheap at any moment.....It was funny,interesting and thoroughly entertaining..But Kandy Floss was peeving and irksome
But Aakashdeep,Chetan Hansraj and Shabbir were plain GROSSSSSS on KAndy floss and aroused the ire of many of their very own collagues(their comments about loaded woman🤢😡) and made an exhibition of themselves👎🏼...so was Rakshandha,Shilpa Saklani and Maninie De( Manine infact so cheaply gloated about how ther husband garners female attention,and how women love them and adore them,and how she are lucky....SS spoke about how dark skinned babies arent the most beautiful😡)..Its a heavy cross to bear,and if they cant bear it,they must just GOOOOOOOOO AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY with their fair skinned husbands ..These people get paid for their looks ,Mihir's claim to fame was Dr.Rahul of Sanjeevni,and he was noticed for his striking(according to people who find him cute😛) looks....had Mihir looked like Boman Irani,he wouldnt be in the positon where he is today..So,these people are cashing in on their looks,so what's the problem when certain asinine fans adore them for that...😕
Whereas,how a star wife Suzanne Roshan feels about the attention Hrithik gets..Sheen who met them would tell the story...😛
Sorry,but Tv stars are my bte noire🤢....They act like wannabies,and lack dignity and grace..A handful may indeed be nice,but that's just a drop in an ocean which exudes stench....Now these people may,for all we know,be good human beings,but they lack the finesse,they lack dignity and diplomacy
