Great post DKS and thank you for making it
Sometimes I think some of these so called 'know it all In House Experts' flatter to deceive us They like to play with the emotions and loyalty of some of the really young ones here who cannot differentiate between real and reel and end up showing a herd mentality whether it be criticism or praise. I really do not appreciate the blackmail behind the words. They make the mistake of thinking they are most wanted by all , believe all the adulatory words written about them and end up going on a power trip
Some people lie so much they begin to believe their bullshit Some one should throw some cold water over them and show them the reality of the law of life- If someone comes in tomorrow with even more personal access and inside information then it will be hello hi bye bye to the old to be left to rot in a cornerAs for the PH Channel Makers if they really did then I do not see it reflecting on the serial tracks so I have serious doubts they do take advise
So what if an actor gets criticized?
Any actor worth their salt should be mentally strong enough to accept all that comes their way whether it be mindless adulation or needful criticism When iconic figures like Mother Theresa MK Gandhiji and Anna Hazare can be equally revered and scorned what why should actors be spared When even the God's themselves and I mean the spiritual kind for those of you who know only one sort, can be subject to debates discourses and at times even anger then why should mere mortals be spared Is an actor above God?
Unless their fragile egos can't take it in which case they are in the wrong business
Gosh when actors of the stature of Tom Hanks Helen Mirren or Amitabh Bhachan can be told off by fans and movie critics and mark you they have decades of a distinguished body of work to their name why is it different here? Part of life is the negative and positive yin and yang how else is a person to grow evolve and change if the only thing that will be tolerated is praises You do disservice to the person and make them complacent So for all those who go berserk you are actually hindering a growth
The difference between lunatics fanatics and the sensible viewer is that the lunatic will not see any better the fanatic will not see any bitter and the viewer sees both and thankfully does not froth at the mouth but I doubt people will get the true meaning
The only way I will go crazy over an actor is if I am personally involved with the person or financially invested or their agent else I really don't care what they do No skin off my nose as there are plenty of things happening in my life without having to go kamikazi defending some one who has no clue or couldn't care less about what i say or think of them
Finally expect the bullshit but dont accept it
