Rrahul's latest Insta post - Page 6

I really don't understand what the problem is.

1. Rrahul can post a picture with his co-stars whenever he wants. There is no stipulation written that he must make the post when someone new has joined the cast.
2. The "To New Beginnings" caption could allude to anything. Being the actors of the show, they will obviously have more knowledge as to what is in store for us. As fans, we can only make assumptions and chances are they will more than likely be wrong.
3. Whatever is in store for these characters is undoubtedly going to bring a new shift in the dynamics of all the relationships involved. Whether it's good or bad, justified or not, it is going to be a new beginning. For Aahana as her status as Mrs. Vansh Raisinghania (legitimate or not), Riddhima in her attempt to reclaim her identity (independent of Mrs. Vansh Raisinghania or not), and most importantly Vansh. Though twisted, this man knows what he's doing and there is a specific purpose to it. Whether that gets revealed to the audience or not, that's up to the writers.
4. "P.S. Let the abuse begin." - Rrahul isn't ignorant to how the TV industry works. He's seen the kind of response the fans gave to Vihaan, and he knows how toxic Twitter is. He knows for a fact that right now Vansh isn't going to be getting any love and is not just ready for the abuse to pour in but is welcoming it. It sucks, but that's how fandom works. They can't differentiate fiction from real and no matter what he posts (whether personal or not), they will bring in the negativity they harbor regarding the show and throw it onto the celebs.
5. Let's not forget two days ago, he made an last Insta post that he captioned "Love me when the chips are down". Again, Rrahul is fully aware of how wrongful Vansh's may be, but he's an actor who is paid to act out whatever the script tells him to. He can't make demands to make Vansh act otherwise. He's not the writer, creative head, nor does he hold enough clout to make such demands.

Overall, I really don't see what the problem is with this post. In no way has he abused, or disregarded the fans or their sentiments. In case you all have forgotten, let me remind you that Rrahul is well aware of the fickle nature of fandom's love. When things go right they'll love him. But when things start to go even a little bit against their wishes, then they'll take that love away for him as if it had never existed at all. At the end of the day he's just another guy who is trying to make a living by doing what he loves. He has immense respect for those who wish well for him and genuinely love him. He doesn't have any obligation to be kind or sweet to those who have nothing but ill will for him.

the only problem i felt is that he tagged himself and mansi instead of ahana and vansh. he should at least trust his fans that they will appreciate him for his work in this small duration he has captured our mind because of his good acting not because of anything else. if some is bashing him as an actor he should either ignore him or ban them as it would give him peace of mind. i know how difficult it could be to keep changing the story because someone don't like it, it destroys the creative process, but only he has ability to ignore.

I don't see that as a problem though. If he had captioned it as Aahana and Vansh, it would have deceived the fans and sent them into a further frenzy. By tagging himself and Mansi, he kept it safe.

There's only a small portion of fans who actually appreciate him. If it had been a large majority, then they wouldn't cried so much when he was Vihaan. They would have accepted him in his new avatar and encouraged the new track. But what did they do? They cried over his beard and demanded to have Vansh back.

I agree that he can ignore those who are constantly sending him negativity, but at the end of the day he is a human being. Amidst the pandemic, he and the entire crew are working so hard on the show and what are they getting in return? Abuses, threats to leave the show, wishing the TRP to drop so that it goes off air - like, come on. Are people forgetting that we're in a pandemic right now and how hard it is for people to find jobs? The fact that they can crib and cry, and threaten to boycott a show displays how privileged they are. They don't have to worry too much about basic facilities like putting food on the table.

Let's say the show does go off air, then what the hell will happen to the entire cast and crew? What's the guarantee that they will find another job soon after? Have we forgotten the amount of hardships people working in the industry have faced because they had no source of income? Or the amount of suicides that occurred?

People seriously need to learn how to be a little more empathetic towards other's situations.

that's true. people don't understand by being too much anxious they are not only putting the story at risk but also job security of so many people. oe so going down means at least 100-150 people going out of business suddenly.

i will still say that he should have not pointed those towards him because if will take those things to him them fans too will behave more recklessly. people have extremely creative mind, and most of the time they use it to image battles, and it will only increase negativity as more entertaining thing than onsreen is real life.

It's not his responsibility to handle fans' reactions. Woh kissi ka baap nahi hai jo daant tha rahe ya kissi ko sikhaye ki kaise baat ki jaati hai. People, regardless of their age, should know how to conduct themselves online. If they feel it's okay to hurl abuses then they shouldn't put up a fit when the celebs give it back to them. They're human beings, not punching bags that will take every negative thing that is thrown at them.

Another thing, this is Rrahul - a man who has always presented his true self, not some sugary sweet facade that some celebs have been taught to portray. What you see is what you get. If you like it take it. If not, then find someone else to 'appreciate'.

they are his fans, so he needs to be a bit responsible. when you manipulate them into buying something and take fat checks for that and when you use them to increase awareness about something or use them to get sympathy for your cause then you definitely become responsible for their behaviour, crowd is alway mad no matter if its made of 1000 phd holders of 1000 thieves so yes its the responsibility of crowd leader to control that crowd..

Sorry, but I don't agree with that.

Rrahul didn't manipulate anyone into buying anything for him. Whatever form of love the fans express themselves through, whether it's sending him cakes, chocolates or personalized gifts, that's entirely their choice. For which Rrahul has shown his respect and appreciation by constantly showcasing and thanking them via his Instagram stories. Moreover, the checks he's receiving is for his acting. It's not the fans who are paying him out of their own pockets. He has his own employer to whom he's answerable to.

He can use his fan following to spread awareness about certain issues, but again, he's not going to control their actions. Whether someone chooses to act on the issues he's bringing to light, is ultimately their choice. At the end of the day, Rrahul is responsible only for his actions, not anyone else's. If we're following this logic, then every single major celebrity is responsible for their fans. I know I shouldn't be making comparisons, but just for arguments' sake, let's look at the Khans in Bollywood. Massive celebrities, with equally massive fan following. You don't see them condoning or reprimanding their fans for all the bashing they do. Why should they, when it's not their responsibility to do so?

If Rrahul was to condemn the fans then he would be labelled as being ungrateful. But if he keeps quiet, then he's still criticized for not speaking up. The man just wants to act and enjoy life to the fullest. Just let him do that.

hey i am not talking about Rahul here, i know he is genuinely good person and i too like him for who he is, i am talking about celebrities in general, they sell stupid things knowing fully well that that those things are not good for people, they urge them to support for their cause even though they know it might create issues for other people. They don't care about their fans but those fans who are just young adults gets shaped by that mindset. even today fair-n-lovely is being sold as one of number one selling cream and who is selling them, actors, from so long that white is beautiful has become our mindset.

Today when kajol come to public and say people are saying her daughter is ugly as she is dark skinned and criticuse same people whom years ago she was selling fairness cream it just make them hypocrite.

when someone has the position of influence they also they the responsibility of being a influencer. you can't get away from the responsibility and just enjoy the perks.

This I agree with.

I was talking only about Rrahul and hence, I felt he didn't apply to those standards. In fact, I would say even now celebs don't hold that much power over people anymore. Due to social media, every single action and word is heavily scrutinized, and celebs can be called out or cancelled for anything that's deemed wrong.

If celebs hold a responsibility, then so do fans. They can't blindly follow everything that their favs do. They need to hold some level of self-awareness to recognize what they're doing themselves. For this, they need to be educated about the digital medium as a whole, and learn how to recognize harmful patterns and behaviors.
