He's still in love with Swastik and that will spell the doom in his career if he doesn't cut himself loose from SidT.




Finally you are losing your tolerance too @Inlieu. It was about time sister because bursting my own blood vessel and knowing my pessimistic intuition would be proven right at some point, and expressing it out as loud and explicitly as I can, though not in the most well briefed, erudite like and as adamant as Sashyam Aunty, I still used to do it but it seemed like we all have to behave like diplomats, and remain placid, impermeable to all distortions and twists because apparently we are just viewers and producers are the ones who serve us the contents so we as viewers should respect their creative liberty and bear with it. I know my illustration of it is quite presumptuous but it's like you are going to eat at a restaurant and the cook is the one who put in efforts to prepare you your dishes so as a customer, though you have paid, by politeness and courtesy behavior, you can't complain. I M SICK OF THIS ! And Rohit being boundlessly naive and weak-willed, and continuing to lick Swastik's boots and worship ST makes me even more disappointed in myself and in him because I, like a full delusional and hopelessly persistent and stubborn that if we come to a breaking point and we cross the borderline with the character's dignity, Rohit's surely going to take it all on his shoulders like a good grown and adult man he is and come in terms with the mess. I know as an actor, it's important to build fiable and good links in the industry but should one really forsaken himself to the point of being used like a pawn to fulfil the producer's nauseous and excruciating fantasies ? This really ain't it chief ! I regret it too @Inlieu ! That me who sent him those 7 pages letters and some meaningless items and the bag was still that delusional and foolish girl whose hope in the character's dignity and the actor's potential and ethic of work were still kept intact. She was optimistic and hopeful. The whole shipment really costed me 38 or something and I had to buy and send the whole thing without my parent's knowing because I knew they would just be astonished by my childishness and naivety. Those are actors who are generously paid and lead a more than comfortable life, and I, who am still a student next to it, like what a laughing stock I would made of myself ? 38 isn't nothing. I have worked during my summer vacation so I know how it is like. But I don't even seem to care about it reaching him anymore. They could just let it rotten in a cupboard, forget or lose it. I seriously would save myself from the second hand embarrassment. I am satisfied that the bubble bursted and the realization finally happened at a good moment.

Sir is still stuck to it since the beginning eventhough being well aware that such disastrous sequence is awaiting his character ? Did Olympia really make all the suppplication in sheer agony, anger and shame at the outcome of women's condition at that Era and pleaded within all her conviction to Zeus to let her give birth to such a son that would bring the World at her feet so this one son of her end up imitating the inhumane act that his detested defunt father inflicted on her that tragic night ? I am actually so disappointed in myself for letting myself be so adamant and forbearing at such point.

When I say I am crestfallen. He really decided to do this with Alexander's character, WOW ! I hope a bunch of ardent defenders and partisan of Alexander the Great's legacy would riot him and his nasty production house. But would they really like to waste their time and energy on such a low minded, bigot and disgustingly short-sighted producer with even more puke-worthy imagination and fantasies ? I don't think so.

I can't help but have mixed feelings for Rohit today! I don't think he tried to oppose the writers or object to the scene for even once. Opposition can also be made on a light note and can also be a suggestion. I don't think they would have threatened him to go the legal way by mentioning his contract if he had requested a change for just making it a little less graphic! This much mutual understanding, I believe, everyone has! Especially going by the way he describes Swastik as his family!

I believe, he being an actor, just took it as another scene and did not think of anything else especially when he has given such a shot in the past.


I can understand these things. But the way it was depicted, it has left a strong impact on my mind.I don't want to sound stupid and ridiculous, but I don't think I would be able to talk about him with the same zeal again! I have become subconsciously averse towards him even when I literally don't want to feel that way!


Although that scene made all of us feel sick and heartbroken, combined with disgust and hatred for the show and the character and somewhat turned us all hostile towards Rohit as well. But when I sat with a cool mind, I concluded that we should not hate Rohit for this nonsense.

When he agreed for the role, the show didn't have a full script in the first place. How could he have ever imagined that it would fall to this low? He admires Alexander and has explicitly admitted being inspired by his personality and determination and has even justified his grey shade in one of those interviews. @Vicariously He really reveres the real figure that was why he was skeptical about his justification at first. He really thought that his role can come out disastrous like others have been in the past but SidT convinced him with his Macedonian script! Though we can say that he was more concerned with the effect of this disaster on his career. See, no one can ever impact Alexander the Great's reputation so I am completely fine with him being more concerned about his own career. Moreover, he didn't even know that his character would be butchered this mercilessly so why would he have even thought of the possibility of Alexander's image getting tarnished especially after going through the fabulous Macedonian storyline!


@Inlieu, we are accusing him for not opposing the extended graphic content. But even if he had, it would have still remained the same! It was what it was.. an Insult to the real figure! It hardly would have lessened our resentment towards SidT and even then we would have blamed Rohit for accepting this distortion in the first place.


He surely couldn't have got a script change due to his contract so what are we exactly blaming him for?


Maybe he didn't feel like opposing the content or the distortion as he is happy with the praises he got and is just focused in his performance. May be he has already come to terms with all the distortions like us and knows that no one is serious about this show as it is a complete fiction. Perhaps he doesn't even realize the extent till which Alexander is highly regarded as he admitted not at all being interested in History and this fact too was somewhat instrumental in making him more casual on this issue.

He is the kind of guy who would avoid churning out arguments or bitterness from his side and the fact is, he feels already indebted to SidT so in no way, he was going to argue with him when the show is nearing its end.


So as an actor, he just decided to do what he could do the best and that was to fulfill the demands of the director.


In his interview, he praised Swastik Team for their dedication even after living far away from their families and their hard work and it is justified. They all are working hard but what can they do if SidT himself is giving them a waste script.

The result really is that people like us would avoid future Swastik shows and not emotionally invest in them, no matter how enticing promos or actors are.

For me, this is the worst part of the scene. If they had shown him doing it because he came up with the idea, without any knowledge of or reference to what happened to Olympias, it would have been better than seeing her suffering from day 1 being washed away by the actions of the one person she has loved more than anything else and dedicated her whole life to.

What can I do? Main bhi insaan hoon. I'm a very patient person, but there's a limit to how much even I can take.

If Rohit doesn't stop being so in love with Swastik/SidT, his career will go nowhere. I would hate for him to make his fans wait for another 2 years only to join yet another Swastik historical (or any of their shows).

My dear young friends,

I no longer visit the forum, and it has been more than ten days since I even looked in there. But this seems to be the only remaining thread about which I get email alerts, because I posted on it a while ago.

Seeing a whole row of posts in the alert, I came to see what was happening, only to find you all in a state of combined disgust and despair. Truly, there is nothing so sad as a prophet who has lost his faith half way!

It would be pointless for me to say that I had told you so long ago, that I had warned you that Alexander's character would be further degraded, and had urged those who felt like me - who did not want to have to watch him being steadily dragged thru the muck - to quit. But then you all wanted to stay with the show for Rohit's sake.

Now you are railing at him because he is doing the same thing that you were, sticking with the show till the bitter end.

I am not sure what it is that has broken your faith, but I expect it was the sort of thing luckysnow would revel in. Otherwise, there would be no reason for references to "graphic" details, or to what had happened to Olympias - though I have my own ideas about that, and have written about it here. Philip was pushed beyond the limits of what one could expect any husband to bear. I presume it was not the same case here. But that changes nothing in what I have to say here.

While I have stopped giving any advice to any of you, I would like to make just two points.

One, it is pointless to blame Rohit for not standing up to SidT. He must by now have grasped that he is playing the villain here, and whatever he was asked to do that has set you all off goes with that territory. He might well have protested, only to be turned down flat. That seems to me more than likely, and I am puzzled by the comments that he did not even try. How on earth would any of you know that?

Once he was turned down, he would have had to fall in line. Period.

He will surely be more careful in the future about signing on the dotted line without getting assurances as to the script. He might well never work with Swastik again. But he cannot do anything right now, seeing that his career seems to be here, in India, not in Turkey or Indonesia!

There was once a young actor call Rajeev Khandelwal - well, he is an actor still - who walked out of one of Ekta Kapoor's shows because he did not like the way his character was going. No one else, not a single PH, and not just Balaji, would work with him for several years after that, and even now, his career is almost non-existent.

I don't think Rohit would want to run that kind of risk. It is a practical decision, and as it is his career on the line, you cannot make demands of him that he cannot and will not fulfil. It is his call, after all.

Two, there is no point ranting against him either as a person or as an actor. You folks liked him so very, very much not just as an actor, but also as a person. You sent him gifts and showered adulation on him because of that. He is still as good an actor, and presumably he is still the same person he was. He is facing hard times, that is all.

Now, when he is stuck between a rock and a hard place, I am surprised that you are all so ready to ditch him and rail against him . In your place, I would try to understand why he is doing what he is doing, even if I do not like it.

In any case, there is only one month of Porus that you have to swallow, if you are so minded. I am glad I got out while the going was good.

As for Rohit's future career, that is on the lap of the gods. Rajat Tokas is in the doldrums, as is the brilliant Karna of the Mahabharata, Aham Sharma. One is playing a Naagraaj in Naagin 3, and I see that the latter is going to enter Vikram aur Betaal! I only hope he is not going to be the betaal! Mohit Raina is literally nowhere, and his brilliant performance in 21 Sarfarosh was buried in the failure of the show.

So, Rohit's future career will depend largely on Lady Luck, not on his talent or charisma alone. I am very fond of him, so I hope she looks after him better that she has with the other three


All the very best to all of you, for now and for the future.

Shyamala Aunty

Aunty

Even I was humiliated yesterday and turned hostile towards Rohit. But when I calmly analysed the situation today, I really found no point to hate him such that and even did a post here. I agree with everything you have said. I am no longer watching Porus and that's for sure. I will wait for Rohit to come back again.
