So somehow I ended up watching an interview of ghum didi who everyone hates, on IG, and she was saying so many things that I thought were hugely unprofessional for a newbie actor 🤔 but one was how they all laugh on set when they get their scripts and some super dramatic thing happens. Like, it's not unprofessional in and of itself to say/think that, but when you're essentially promoting your char/show, you have to think "is what I'm about to say going to upset my writers/showrunners?" 😕 and then ofc she continues being unprofessional and saying how despite the efforts of some fans they're still "ruling" the TRPs so she could care less about fans boycotting the show 😕 like...just why go there? Makes me think that at least actors like SM or SC, despite the moon-going crapness of their show, never once disparaged it or their writers in an interview.
Also, aaj kal ke "actors" 1 ya 2 TRP ke dum pe ucchalte phirte hain (spot the Janki Devi reference 😆). I know TRPs have changed in many ways, but if we're just talking plain numbers, then it's hilarious to think that today's actors are dancing over 1s and 2s and back in the day, going below 10 TRP points warranted an angry call from the big boss 🤣
Anyway, end random rant 🤣
