Blinds are a prblm. But not everyone reads them. Especially ppl like me who ain't interested in bollywood gossip. I've come to know about them only after his death. Still he was always in news and headlines of reputed newspapers like TOI which made me believe that he was arrogant ,pervert and success had gone to his head. Not that it mattered when watching his films. Obviously , in movies it was his character which was appreciated. Ppl who don't read blinds still someone were fed those gossip stories through verified and reputed newspaper. And his downfall started in 2016 after dhoni's success.
I visited that blinds site osop few days back and searched his name. From 2016 to 2020 ,there were a total of 31 or 32 blinds about him which is the max about anyone. Compared it with his contemporaries like kartik aaryan about whom blinds started after the success of sonu ke titu ki sweety and he became a part of that insider circle, there were a total of 9-10 blinds about him from 2018 till now. For rajkummar ,they were as less as 3-4. Rao though is a brilliant actor hasn't still found BO success. Which is one of the main reasons he isn't considered a threat. So among his contemporaries, ssr had the most no. Of blinds ranging from kriti calling him 'truck driver' to him hooking up with aamir's wife to #me too to him having an affair with mukesh. He was made out to be everything sick that a person could think of. These things ain't true but it hurts that these things were picked up by newspapers which made him a joke and tarnished his image.
There was systematic bullying and mental harrasment. Metoo allegations collided with him contributing 1.5 crore to kerala and nagaland floods(when other stars were contributing only in lakhs). The amount he earned from drive was contributed to goodwill. Sadly, this goodwill was overshadowed by the allegations on him that followed.
Amidst all this, i also tried to read blinds about star kids as some ppl here claimed were written but couldn't find even a single as malicious as these. Read some about kriti having one night stands etc etc . Compare that to alia whose blinds are mostly about her career and films she's doing. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Also noticed 1 thing amidst the search, in 2017 while promoting raabta he got into a feud with a journalist. Several blinds were written after that. Then in the same yr he fired his PR manager, i think rohini iyer saying that they're spreading rumors about him. Several blinds outpoured after that . Then he dissed 'befikre' after which he was tagged as 'overpaid' and 'too big for his boots' and a 'wannabe A lister'. 2017 was a happy yr for him. He was getting invited to big parties thrown by manish malhotra, Kjo , Ekta , kriti and rohini iyer. Everything went downhill after that.
I am not a movie buff but have been researching alot these days and have noticed these things. From kedarnath's posters to interviews to reviews ,everything was about sara. He was intelligently sidelined. While everyone sidelining and bullying him is responsible including the audience and trolls ,his underactive , good for nothing PR is to be blamed too , for not celebrating his successes, for not putting him in the spotlight, for not avoiding unnecessary negative limelight and for not doing efforts to clear his image.
Thank you for looking up and writing it out. The amount of blinds done were so much more than the rest. I am amazed how few ppl on the forum refused to accept it.
