You explained it so well. This is not an off screen issue like you said. Instead he should have promoted Sairat good times to go in sink with the episodes shown as of now.Originally posted by: asmi_joya
I was the one who posted in this forum about Neil promoting the show after a long time and appreciating him for that. But this right now is strictly unprofessional behaviour. We cannot deny that. Nobody questioned, at least in this forum, when have been continuously posting stuffs in their onscreen clothes or offscreen ones. In fact I have even said I find them cute offcreen... Nobody pointed out Aishwarya's yet again attention seeking post.. The question here is being raised for Neil promoting Virat and Pakhi scenes from Yoga love days.. Which is not just wrong on his part but ethically wrong as well.. Now is the time in the show that viewers have been waiting for ..for a very long time, where Virat understands that Pakhi is not what she looks like. Now is the time, when their relationship would take a new turn , where they would be no more lovers or best friends.. but they would be just devar and bhabhi.. This is such a wrong for his show as well to promote Virakhi.. The character of Virat is still being bashed and he should maximise his redemption to promote Sairat and himself, rather than promoting Virat and Pakhi .. This is not an offscreen matter..we all appreciated him for promoting the show last week, each one us came into say, oh look he is not how he is being perceived. SO when he goes on to promote a couple which from the show's perspective should not be paired at all anymore, is also him betraying the show and the fans.. I dont mind him promoting his offscreen dynamics.. the issue is him promoting the vms made on yoga love days and he has been doing it for a while now.. Since yesterday the frequency has increased.. He in this process is harming the show and himself... Each one of us are on the forum which is an online portal and we do check stories and posts to get a hint of upcoming tracks.. So yeah people would check it, at least the online audience. So yeah we cannot ask them to not check the stories as well. There is an investment of the fans that's going in show, if not anything else. One cannot insult them with such stories.. Just the other day, Imlie show leads were bashed, for tagging their jodi name for an offscreen post, even though they are husband wife in the show but the pair being shipped.. Here the jodi that's hated the most in this show, the jodi where even hand on the shoulder scene is questioned, because agree or not fans are possessive about Sairat and all online fans are possessive about their jodi.. The fans are not wrong in questioning it. The actor being questioned is the wrong one here, as far as today's issue is concerned.. This certainly is unprofessional. And the show definitely has a set of fans, who have learnt to segregate offscreen and onscreen issues.. This is not an offscreen issue. This is about the show, which is equally owned by the fans as by the actors..
