Everyone and their PRs are responsible for throwing blind items at each other. Except, doodh ka dhoola Ranbir cause you know he doesnt have a PR lol (literally commissions the vilest sh*t on people)
But what I've realized with Sushant's case and that also too late is that balance of power is a thing .Deepika and Ranbir can take a go at each other cause of the power balance. Shah and Salman as well. Ranbir and Karan can target his contemporaries like Varun and they might hit back but a Sushant,Kartik,Vicky can't hit back. And their image takes a hit as well cause if you say one thing a thousand times, people usually believe it cause nobody really knows the truth. Also if you put something a lil bit credible in the blinds, the rest of it is taken as truth. If somebody writes today that Ayushmann is cheating on his wife x 10 times, people will start believing it. The public memory is just that and I've been part of falling for it as well. All of us have.
Kriti was giving her gyaan on blind items when she herself has done plenty on Sushant after their break up. Probably feeling a lot guilty now. But Sushant could have done some blinds on Kriti in retaliation. He couldn't take on the others. Ranbir does hit pieces on his contemporaries or anyone he thinks is competition.
Kriti has been targetted by the same kinda character assassinating blinds. Tons of blinds saying she's sleeping with Akshay and Dinesh for roles.
In the last few months I've noticed how Kartik is suddenly getting hit with a lot of blinds too.
In all, while the blind culture is actively participated in by the industry,there are those who can't hit back and stand to lose a lot more than usual and those are the outsiders and it's because their image falters. Starkids don't lose out on movies,ads but outsiders easily can. And hence, regardless of the fact that blind items are banned or not, I will think twice before believing the ones targetting outsiders. That's been my biggest lesson from this.
