Salman Khan, Dharmendra, Sanjay Dutt, Amitabh get support of audience NO matter what criminal cases they had or controversies they had or their personal life or more serious charges like Bofors, hate speech to incite mob in 1984 (AB sr), illegal land deals, killing endangered wildlife, links to underworld, knowing about 1993 blasts, abusing women, slapping media persons, slapping fans etc.
Govinda also got away by slapping a fan. Sunny Deol hardly got backlash when he broke camera of a fan in frustration during shooting of a film in 90s.
Conversion or polygamy of male stars is not questioned.
Never seen Dharam lose love of audience.
TADA case and drugs could also not get backlash or hate for Sanjay or ensure he got no work at all.
I have never seen people judge character of male celebs no matter what.
Rishi Kapoor being alcoholic or philanderer or wife beater is also hardly believed by his fans or most of audience. Most people refuse to believe Ajay and Akki are philanderers and assume they are family men.
Jaya B gets bashed for attitude towards media but Rishi's outbursts on Twitter or against media never got him as much hate.
Rajesh Khanna got leeway for marrying and abusing minor Dimple. He'd be called a pedophile and wife beater today if he did what he did then at 35 YO age.
My question is, would you as public, tolerate a female actor who like like Salman Khan or did what Sanjay Dutt did? Or still give benefit of doubt to a female actor who married a boy who was still a minor while she was herself 30? Would a female star continue to have fans or defenders in industry to whitewash her image even if she killed humans, wildlife, did drugs, had links to underworld, had affairs or married another man despite being married to first husband already or dumped first husband and kids to run with another new man?
