Bcuz politician are are of all ideology so each can support his ideology but actors and artists are mainly of left ideology you would rarely see some actors taking stand of India in pak Kashmir issue but pak actors will clearly take stand for their country this is difference that's the reason people are going so mad over celebrity
@@Makeisjjust stfu bro. The film industry right now is anything but left leaning. There is shit ton of movies being put out discriminatory against pakistan. Get out of your own bubble and use your goddamn brain for yourselves damn it. Always being fed by whatsapp aunties and Facebook uncles
@@Makeisj thats why there is difference between art and artist i am fan movie and stop giving shit about their personal opinion and politicians are biggest parasites of this country
Recently MS Dhoni said to a person that you should try Pakistani foods it's delicious... Imagine this statement been given by SRK , or any muslim actor they would have immediately declared as Pakistani , Anti Hindu , Terrorist , Traitor, etc
See who says it is also important. When it's M.S. Dhoni praising something about Pakistan people are sure he did not mean anything wrong but that cannot be said for the Khans. Intention matters. Just like when Modi says something it becomes a trend but when Rahul Gandhi says something people don't take it seriously..
0:02 same goes for this, just imagine if someone from different faith even at that time would have said that "Sar tan se juda" might have happened Just as makers of "chaiyya chaiyya" got threats for just a line "paon ke neeche jannat hogi"
Many have said this before, but the reason why Bollywood interviews are not special anymore, is because of Social Media. Since we see these stars regularly on the Internet, such interviews don't feel like an event anymore!
I think the discourse also is less about their saturation of appearances but more about why the answers seem to be repetitive or PR trained vs having the organic raw nature close to a decade ago
I remember SRK saying on the AIB podcast how any random news not even related to this country can suddenly become about him on social media without his knowledge on the subject also! Yes sometimes its PR but many times its also fanclubs who pull other actors down only to hype their favs! Not everytime a celeb or their PR is to be blamed coz ppl onine joblessly sit nd find random shit to troll which are not even troll-worthy!
literally ANYTHING can be blown out of proportion now, everyone has access to phones, and can write whatever they want, so even PR teams advises them to give safe answers. No one can dare these days to talk about anything sensitive because someone’s “SentiMeNtS” will get hurt
@@TheSamosaCriticthat’s the thing - vanga is fooling audiences into thinking what he’s doing is controversial when he’s just giving basic masala that everyone has always liked nothing new 😂 trust me if it was ACTUALLY something controversial lmao it would NOTTTT be this popular
Something that I really liked from this season of Koffe was when Ajay was asked about paid PR and he said that - only the audience will decide the fate of the film after the first or the second show all of the showbiz is just for you to be happy. I think this concludes on how well informed and clear the senior generation of actors in Hindi film industry is.
They have survived 3 decades bro.. 90s kids are now fathers and their kids are now fans of these senior actors. Superstars have always existed from the time of rajesh khanna,dilip kumar but no one survived for more than 15 years( Lead+superstar status) Three khans and Ajay,Akshay are special because how they managed to allure every generation of audience since their debut.
@@DeveshKumar-vw8ulDon't forget about Amitabh. He is the first superstar who evolved and survived with time. Current stars still have to go through that route, it evident that none of them is ready to loose their stardom other than Akshay.
@@chandramohanbisht7316 bro there were many superstars from manoj kumar to Dharmendra...hindi cinema was lucky to have all these superstars. I cannot name everyone. Akshay will make a comeback.. it happens with everyone,Srk suffered but now he's reigning supreme. Akshay's career has been the most interesting out of these 5 superstars. Because he has seen up and down a lot. Not like srk,sk,aamir,ajay they have seen literally a decade of successes.
Not really true some movies which are not that good but pr made them bigger hits than it really needs to be look at our calendar this year only few films were actually deserving rest of them were hyped too much for no reason.one pattern is common among all of them is a controversy before the release and huge amount of social media presence around them hypes are predictable
it's boring now as they have started giving very diplomatic answers and aren't totally honest about their opinions or answers cause of the cancel culture on twitter and i don't blame them. i've been using twitter since a long time and people just take clips and tweet it out of context and start giving hate for no reason. one of the major reason why it's boring and even koffee w karan now is boring asf cause of the same
And the example is the latest KWK episode. Deepika Padukone was just being honest about her past relationships and the RAGE after that is the history!!
@@hotchocolate1-r1o and who did the same men now saying that oh why not they are honest. Honestly we diplomacy is best. If celebrities will project their filthy activities in the name of honesty then that will influence many
Celebrities these days are actually afraid of backlash, especially from social media. Many will say that social media and the internet doesn't define an actor's popularity,but truth it does. From pandemic till Pathaan's release the condition of Bollywood was the best example how boycott formula can disrupt an entire industry.
That is so correct. It's so sad to see where we are heading. This video is not even emotional, but it had me in tears, thinking about the good days where everything and everyone was so natural and didn't have cancel culture.
@@raja-jl9os ofcourse sabko pata hai ye sab.. boycott trend wagera real life me matter nhi karta.. real life social media se bohot alag hai... Infact boycott se hype badhta hai movies ka.. real life me word of mouth matter karta hai
because of musilms this started you criticize them you are automatically cancelled and banned.... so Hindus started doing the same so let everyone be criticized equally... one side narrative needs to be stopped
Salman Khan is unapologetically authentic and fearless because he has the privilege to be so. He is literally the one who decides people's careers in the industry. It's all about power! See, everyone wants to be able to express themselves without holding back their true feelings. But it's not possible for everyone since very few of them stand in the same position as the 'elite' ones. They're trying to make it big here so definitely they'd take the route of diplomacy.
well, there were/are many privilege , well connected people in the industry but they were/are not as fearless as salman khan is. Besides that he was not powerful people in the industry at that time. He didn't had production house at that time neither in his family. And he hardly worked with top directors/production houses in his early days.
Salman once went to Modiji's uttarayan function (Jan 2014) and when media asked him about who he was going to vote for, he said, with Modiji right next to him, that he would not vote for any brand, and would only look at the work of the candidates in his consituency, and that he thinks in Bandra Baba Siddiqui and Priya Dutt (both Congress leaders) were good. I don't like Salman a lot, bot he's got balls 😂
The fact that people get offended at a colour of a bikini Deepika wore in a song or Hritik being in a relationship with a lesser popular actor or Ranbir telling Alia to wipe off her lipstick but not on rising inflation, poverty, crime, lack of education etc shows the mindset of the current generation and social media culture. I feel this is also going to be the same case with TH-camrs, in the next few years. Today it is Bollywood tomorrow the same audience will bash TH-camrs for being candid on camera and roasting somebody.
@@10an63 abey chup be Woh andhbhakto ne kiya tha PR ka rrrrr karne wale Pakka koi dusre star ke fan hoge tum Thora logical baat karlo Koi apni movie ko boycott kyun karae ga? Aaj agar pathan flop hoti, tab tumlog kya kehte
People complained about celebrities coming off as unlikable when they did candid unfiltered interviews. And now when they’re protecting themselves with smart, calculated and structured interviews they say it’s boring or these celebrities have no selling factor? It’s the problem with treating these celebrities as larger than life, holier than thou standard that’s causing this. Just accept they’re humans full of flaws like everyone else just with a lot of money and a lot of people watching them and leave it alone.
One of my favorite interviews was Shahrukh Khan on AIB. It was hilarious and also gave you an insight into what stars have to deal with. While I do agree that this years season of KWK is quite bland compared to previous seasons, I do not blame Karan Johar for this. The amount of trolling and threats he had to endure during the pandemic was crazy. I feel that actors are becoming less unapologetic and fearless in interviews yes because of the backlash of social media but also as a protection to their family and livelihood. I feel we as an audience have to be more forgiving and less critical over truly trivial topics, so that our actors feel safe just being themselves.
People might not agree or even get outraged but the "intolerance" statement of Aamir Khan was true and is also the reason why in today's interview there is no intellectual and open thoughts because not only the artist might get roasted but absolutely torched and labelled "anti-national"
I think earlier interviews of Kangana with Anupama Chopra or when she appeared on Satyamev Jayate or with Barkha Dutt were very refreshing. She was hailed at that time for being brutally honest about Bollywood, that's before she became a loose canon that she's today. Had she maintained her respect of being raw and true to her craft she would've been more successful today. But alas!
Thats true, specially when with Anupma, she told “ as an actor you tend to become very shameless. And anything needed to survive in Mumbai without a penny, I have done it” No other actor/acteress had spoken truth in such direct manner.
@@jay.shah96 As an artist, donating to political party of their choice is fine. But doesnt an artist lose some portion of its fan by being a strong vocal supporter of any given political party? So why do it?
I wanna share something. See I am not a huge fan of Deepika, i do like her but still. Anyway, her talking about mental health and opening up about depression helped me personally. My family and people around me were not well aware, especially when I was going through it. So her interviews helped my mother and the people around me to understand what i am going through. I remember them sharing her videos through WhatsApp so they get more idea about my condition which was great because I didn't have to do much explaining.
Thats inspiring! But somehow personally for me, it always felt like more of a PR stunt. It could be my personal bias as well. But looking at her track record, it mostly seems like calculated PR move.
I immediately clicked on this video after reading the title. I myself have been rewatching older seasons of KWK or older interviews of celebs since past few months just for their sheer audacity and courage to speak honestly for themselves. I feel in the current era, not just celebs but we also are being too diplomatic for our own good. I call it people pleasing but it's just being coy and not saying what I truly mean to spare the other person's feelings. I wish I could change this about myself!
3:00 These FIRs really need to be dealt with. There are actual survivors of heinous crimes who are discouraged to file FIRs but this is allowed? Case in Point: That Chomu Advocate who filed a lawsuit because there was a Aishwarya-Hrithik kiss in ‘Dhoom 2’.
I think that's my main point of the video too. When there are distinct fearless voices who could not care about the reactions, their interactions stand out, even today!
This started when Bollywood's most-cherished actor said something in 2014-15 and is still facing boycott whenever his film is released. Why should an actor go to the pain of expressing honest opinions in public when he has to deal with boycotts.
But Aamir's films after 2015 (i.e., Dangal & Secret Superstar), did good business at box office. Even TOH, had a record opening day collections. It is only after pandemic that these old statements are being dug up & used against the actors.
Kudos to Deepika for opening up about her mental health issues. One of my friend actually consulted a therapist after Deepika opened up. People who troll her have no idea how much courage it takes to talk about these issues.
Bro I really don't think she ever had any problem with mental health. She created all this narrative to get sympathy from people like you. The woman suffering from mental issues is Kangana and I don't think she even knows it.
Celebrities are giving 20 interviews a day and are being asked the same question in all the interviews. After a point I feel like they have memorised the answer and are just reciting it. I think they come prepared to answers beforehand for some FAQs. Also in the age of cancel culture most celebrities and hold themselves back from talking much.
The best and most honest interviews are of SRK He predicted the future of India with his statement of intolerance His interviews weren’t outrageous and filled with anger like that of Salman He and Aamir gave intellectual interviews with good and savage lines They talked about issues of our country Yep, it was bad that Aamir targeted srk, but they were atleast honest about their opinions
Intolerance has been for the last thousands years because of Monotheistic Prophetic cults .. If intolerance is somehow a recent phenomena, why did Partition happened?
The intolerance showed in the collections of jawan and pathan didn't it??? Fkng lout. Somehow actors fumble around other religions but not about Allah or the pedo prophet
@@noone-zl2di Intolerance doest coincide with emergency.just ho and check social media. You will find the hatred comments on religion and community. What about that. How a mediocre movie like Kerala story becomes blockbuster???
Current Social media era reminds me of TARS from Interstellar " Absolute honesty is neither the most diplomatic nor the most safest form of communication with emotioal beings ." While it's debatable to say this era has made us emotional but it's sure as hell made us impulsive towards absolute honesty
Yes, indeed all interviews are boring these days because no question asked is genuine cause these celebs are more inclined to either sound correct for their audience or say something so bizarre that their interviews become trending on social media. Hardly anyone wants to be genuine, talk sensibly on issues and be their true self. And let us not forget, there is also a lot of political pressure too.
7:27 I still watch those episodes to refresh my memories of the show. Farooq Sheikh and Javed Saab have been the best people to discuss film and actors on TV.
I think what they are doing right now is correct. Being a srk fan, I absolutely don't shit about his political view or whatever. Being opinionated always gives mixed responses. It is their job to be diplomatic and bring as many people as they can to their movie. The same thing happened to tom cruise, earlier he used to comment on everything and behaved as he wanted which led to him getting unpopular due to huge disapproval on his comments. But now he is doing his job as an actor.
It is a good thing that these so-called celebrities are held responsible for what they say and do, not that it is making much of a difference, but it might in the future. If this was done long back, we wouldn't have had criminals like Salman Khan or Sanjay Dutt in the industry in the first place. Imagine him abusing a woman who had achieved international acclaim at a time when it was not as common as it is now, and people like you "admiring his tenacity."
The question you posted to initiate the discussion is in itself the answer - it's the oversensitive and easily butthurt people keyboard warriors + the overall political climate that's only worsened (or rather become a horrid shadow of what it should be). Why would they choose to lose money for wearing their hearts on their sleeves? Most don't articulate things well unless it's SRK or Jaggu Dada doing their own bits and carrying on staying away from the mess by not creating any.
a very well made video and shows how the rapid growth of cancel culture and "trolling" has influenced the openness of celebrities, it's honestly a dilemma, whether they be organic and open about their life or just be boring but safe from scrutiny from the public regarding their choices, believes and actions.
People were much practical back then as compared to know. Nowadays, people live in this illusion that they are super progressive and witty...but it's not. I understand, some things which might be talked about can be triggering or offensive...but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We are living in delusions in this era and get offended even by the slightest statements by celebrities. I understand that they are influential people and need to realise that they have a responsibilty on their shoulders but that doesn't mean they can't openly talk about issues. People today love fakeness and lack authenticity.
Those days the absence of social media made these star less accessible to the audience and hence leading to more curiosity, mystery regarding them. Nowadays everyone is on social media with their PR designed strategies hence leading to the deja-vu feeling which further generates no interest. The absence of Ranbir Kapoor on social media is the reason for his consistent popularity. IMO
Jeena Isi ka Naam Hain was so so so good and graceful....like we really used to wait throughout the week for Jeena Isi ka Naam episodes.... One of my favourite shows fo childhood, we used to watch with family....Just best
People are very sensitive now and start boycotting the minute they see something that seems weird. Celebrities can no longer say what they feel like because it might hurt a certain region of people or they can't joke anymore because people take things too seriously.
Certainly being included in CANCEL CULTURE, ultimately hamper one's career might be one of the prime reason actors can't give unfiltered interview nowadays!
Thank God finally someone said this. Previously they were raw as organic as possible. Their interviews have their own charm whether they are speaking something appealing or not so pleasing to here. But today's celebrities are so trained about everything . They're boring and this is one of the main reason people loosing interest in Bollywood
Actually it's not just bollywood. Even in Hollywood you see people like nicki Minaj, cardi, miley, eminem speaking their minds whether it be misogyny or homophobia in 2010s but now they have toned down a lot because of cancel culture. Also there are many actors in today's generation as well who have certain mysticity in them like cillian murphy and in India, tabu and shefali shah who aren't active on social media. Nowadays actors don't want to express political opinions because it makes a preconceived notion on their image and when people go to see their films, they see their image not the character, something which kangana ranaut faced. That's why actors like ranbir choose not to be on socials or express his political opinions.
@@TriedRefusedProductions Bro no one isn't interested in anyone's life but if you think that you can use our religious slogans for you fun and get away with it then those days are over and now you have to bear consequences and take responsibility for it.
It is because a majority of these stars are on Twitter. So a lot of the hard hitting questions etc are often just thrown at them. Or worse, we just see actors ramble on twitter.
And we also need to cut some slack to new comers and outsiders because recently in hanuman promotions a reporter asked teja sajja directly if he thinks he doesn't deserve the canvas of hanuman,but actually teja is childhood actor who played younger versions of chirnajeebi ,benkatesh and many more and he struggled for 6 years for auditions and did character roles in oh baby and finally got this role,and his reply is also very good he said you don't question if second genre actors get that huge canvas like ramcharan was launched by puri jaganath and his second film was by rajamouli with magadherra which is the highest telugu budget movie at that time ,but why question us when we're in industry for such long time from childhood and finally got the opportunity
The monotony of interviews saturates their presence now. During every movie promotion so many interviews are taken on various social media platforms, asking same questions at time, the questions are also typed at one time like likes, dislikes, reaction towards a particular situation, choose this or that, some quiz questions etc. Like how its said in hindi over exposure ke shikhar ho gaye hai
Its not even about saturation of seeing the actor. I think it takes a toll on mental health to be critiqued and trolled for everything u do and say...and social media provides the actors more access to immediate and quite unpleasant feedback. I'd also shut my mouth if i were in their place and choose to be silent than honest/vulnerable.
Social Media has given a voice to a lot of reasonable people with common sense who point out hypocrisy in others and also given voice to idiots with accumulated resentment about their life. Before, when a public figure said something everyone had to shut up and listen. But now it works two ways - (A) if the actor says something stupid like Kareena or Sonam usually do, then the public will immediately humble them. This ain’t a bad thing. (B) if an actor says something nuanced. Meaning that it has a lot of context, reasoning, layered and rhetorical, then the trolls on the social media with a lot of accumulated frustration over their own lives, will begin a witch hunt on the actors and sadistically troll them. For example in the video you posted, Salman’s words will be cut and then trolled to make it look like Salman is saying that “actors run the country, world and universe itself”.
The atmosphere has become extremely polarised. The social media and meme culture has become powerful enough to create narratives and blow it out regardless of the intention a certain statement is being made. No doubt that the interviews will be diplomatic in the light of being better safe than sorry. It's hard to be genuine in front of crores of people when every single one of them is rigid about their opinions, and literally no one can digest an opinion different from theirs. We want celebrities to speak up only if their statements supports our thought process.. Aur agar koi apna time aur effort nikal ke samjhane ki koshish karna chahe toh uski amma behan pe aa jate hain. Kya hi karenge celebrities aisi situation mein?
Prithviraj Chauhan was the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra Alia clearly got confused, but definitely not with King Prithviraj, but politician Prithviraj Chauhan, Chief Minister of her State.
I remember what Katrina Kaif said in a media interaction about giving opinions by the stars in this whole scenario, that is so apt in this time and age.
This issue is not complicated at all. Nobody in Bollywood is obligated to say controversial things just to entertain the audience. Doing this has repercussions to the speaker that the audience doesn't care about. If you find a Bollywood interview "boring" because they're not saying controversial things, that's on YOU and frankly doesn't show a good image of you as a person.
So true! I thought I was the only one thinking this. If you look at recent interviews with old school actresses like Mahima, Rani and Amisha, the texture and quality of their interviews is so different. They're very honest about how they feel. Especially the Rani interview on Film Companion, it's a marvel. It's because these actresses have nothing to lose, there's no interest in being liked or being at the top, they just want a good role that's all.
first of all thank you for making video about this. The social media and political intolerance has made the things worse. If deepika speaks her heart she get FIR from BJP ruling states and if kangana speaks openly (most of time it is garbage but sometimes logical) she gets FIR from other party ruling states like shivsena. So the politicians have been intolerant and pressing their agenda and wanted to stay in lime light through Bollywood stars. One of the main reason I love salman is his fearless attitude even now to speak his mind.
it's not just happening with interviews of bollywood celebrities, it is happening in a lot of other industries like comedy, media, hell also wwe and with any publicly known personality. and it is happening all around the world not just here, the biggest reason for this is everyone has access to internet where they communicate and express their common ideas. what i think about this is that this is a "thing" of this new era and generation, which will eventually fade away with time like every previous "things" of those eras did.
I agree with you Jammy... Someone needs to pick up the mantle of bringing back classic genre pf interviews where the host were genuinely interested in the guest. Jammy you have been bewstowed with this responsibility and be the guiding light for us.
I think that media plays a pivotal role in conveying right information but nowadays they are too busy bootlicking a political party. Celebs are aware if their statement is misconstrued which happens frequently there is gonna be a huge backlash so they refrain themselves.
I personally don't like celebrities to speak about issues which are not related to their profession. Why should we care what a Bollywood celebrity feels about politics? And why their opinion really matters? They just do a simple thing : Act in front of a camera. That's it. Why don't we let the celebrities live their life's peacefully. I believe that they are normal human beings who can have flaws. They can be drug addict, fighting with anxiety, being an alcoholic etc etc. I know it would become boring if celebrities would only talk about acting but it's better for us.
I think the image management and legal teams would be forcing actors to keep their responses as vanilla as possible. Just the logistics of appearing in court for FIRs filed would be a nightmare.. that too over stuff that doesn’t even necessarily happen in the public domain. Reminds me of how in OMG2 the character of Pankaj Tripathi is inundated with court cases in various states and would have needed to go everywhere 😪.. boring interviews cab happen at all times, but cancel culture definitely is a major cause
I would say current stars are really not much educated or intelect , the opprtunity to see the stars is ample becaue of social media , here Pankhaj T and Manoj Kumar still talks deep and detail, a stand up comedian apparently sikh , he has also guts to talk with intelect , Salman still talks with the same attitutde , Srk still able to manage his skin of wit, social media is trendy so the people used to forgot rather than forgive , today's stars must try to make thier personalities instead of content.
Its the saturation of appearances of the new age celebrities and also the fear of cancel culture acting as a filter for them. Anything they utter can cause and outrage so huge that can alter course of their careers so its best to be politically correct about things in these intolerant times.
This topic i think very important. A stark difference from Tamil industry. There are so many fantastic interviews with directors mostly and actors but purely focussed on the artform and the movie. These interviews over the years have truely increased the viewer understanding of cinema and even the new crop directors. Likes of Baddy and Sudhir deserve a lot of praise for that. But when it comes to bollywood interviews its all too personal about the actors. That star worship needs to go firstly i believe. The interviews should be on the art form and not personal life. That should only be a small part. Firstly, bollywood needs to have more interviews with creators and not actors. For example, interviews with Pa.ranjith, raj B shetty, lokesh, mari selvaraj, myskin, thiyagaran kumaraja, vanga with baddy were all pure gold. He even started doing interviews with character role artistes like Charlie and others which were just phenomenal. I believe, that some seriously good Movie critics have really made a hude difference in tamil cinema creators and viewers in the last 5-6 years. For a new or young director to have an interview with baddy has almost become a great expectation for me to explore and understand the artform. I guess, good content and appreciation will just follow. I have always felt this was a big lag in bollywood. May things change. May creators get more focus than actors and good cinema will flourish.
I think it also has to do a bit with celebrity worship. A lot of people nowadays don't put celebrities on a pedestal and call their bullshit outright, which is a good thing, but they also act as if they're better than the celebrities and judge their lives. Celebrities had the leeway to say whatever they wanted, totally unfiltered, in the old days because of how people never said anything against them because of admiration.
The past - 70's 80's 90's generation was raw and on the face not just India but the west as well... ever since the emergence of social media and image correction culture came up... people toned down
Hey @jammypants4! Thanks for this video Jammy! I love these videos you post of past interviews. Do you think you could do a series where you can post video for each big superstar from the 90s and their interviews in chronological order, providing links for the interviews? Thank you
The interviews are so boring today because the actors are all scared of being cancelled and boycotted. I mean Amir Khan said something years ago and he is still being treated horribly. Some other actor may have said something years ago and people bring it up now on social media and troll and ridicule that actor. It's absolutely absurd. Even if we don't go back years, just look what is happening to Deepika right now. She was being honest and very candid on KwK and everyone started s*lut-shaming her and calling her names. That is why the rest of the season is so boring because no one wants to go through that.
Contemporary Bollywood interviews often seem to lack the depth and universality that characterized earlier talk shows. Shows like "Koffee with Karan" and "Rendezvous" were not only entertaining but also appealed to a broad audience, transcending generational boundaries. Remarkably, even actors who graced those talk shows continue to offer more compelling interviews today.The current trend, however, appears to prioritize catering to a specific target audience, primarily the younger generation. This approach tends to sideline the broader appeal that interviews once had. A noticeable shift towards superficial topics, such as fashion, glamour, and personal lives, has become prevalent. Unfortunately, this often overshadows the genuine and authentic conversations that used to take place.There seems to be a reluctance among the younger generation to embrace vulnerability during interviews, likely stemming from concerns about potential backlash in today's hyper connected world. The fear of being misunderstood or misrepresented may contribute to a more guarded approach, limiting the spontaneity and openness that characterized interviews of the past.Furthermore, the predominant focus on promotional activities for upcoming projects has created a constraint on the range of topics discussed. The need to adhere to marketing strategies often leads to a scripted and less genuine exchange, diminishing the overall richness of the conversation. In contrast to earlier times, where interviews were opportunities for personalities to share their thoughts and experiences freely, today's interviews appear more directed towards projecting a carefully curated image. As a result, the essence of genuine, insightful conversations that transcended age groups seems to have been somewhat lost in the current landscape of Bollywood interviews.
Most of the times reporters have given the list containing the questions NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ASKED which automatically makes the interview dull and boring.
The problem is people have access to backlash sitting at the comfort of their sofas. Remember when SRK said that intolerance in India is increasing and it should be controlled for democracy. But everyone attacked him, asked him to go to Pakistan. No one can say their view point.
Social media is the only reason, because now anyone can write and react the way they want on the video they watch. Also anyone can make a video to criticise or appreciate with their own perspective and view. Like you are doing it with this video.
Pls read this I am not gone lie 2 years back, I was reading a Cineblitz magazine (1985). I read a sanjay dutt's interview he was 26 years old at that time(which he said). He was mentioning his that time girlfriend Sha (Phillipines airhostess).He also said how he was devastated by the breakup with tina munim (now tina ambani). He also mentioned how he dated various v girls like every type beautiful, plain,scrawny,voluptuous etc, and how he is very possesive about her women, which leads the end of the relationship. He also said if I'll go by my way I would keep my women in a miiror case where i only I can see her and touch her and no women will take it which is true.I was totally shocked by reading that article.Now u guys tell me which actor nowdays have guts to say in an interview.
I think that due to excessive use of social media, we have come to know more about these people than necessary, so now bad things as well as good things too seem boring Now whether it is the things spoken in an interview or in a conference..
Now, whatever happens or is said, we have a dedicated team to analyze it, cross-section it, decipher its word-by-word meaning, explore the nuances between words, and perform various other analyses. Actors don't want to be highlighted outside of their film roles. I believe politicians also encounter similar challenges in their speeches.
Nowadays audience have become impulsive in comparison to previous generation which might be the one of the reasons for celebs for not opening up about their views on anything
Actors are not be blamed here, its the public who needs to take a chill pill...India is definitely progressing in this Digital age but there are downsides as well...Yesterday i was reading comments on some Sikh influencers and people had written "Lassi" in comment section bullying them i mean really we are going that low for a community who are our brothers and sisters.... We Indians are not used to this Digital platform and need to learn some digital etiquettes as well...Forget about Bollywood , Media and Social Media is enough to create issues within the country..
Of course celebrities are rightfully scared of being under the micro scanner and therefore don't talk about issues but I also feel that celebrities should also take advantage of the information era and educate themselves better so they can talk about issues credibly. They are scared to take sides (which is fair) but to not even be rightfully informed of why two sides are feuding is what frustrates me.
When dealing with an audience in this economy, you have to define the rabble rousers who just want to cause chaos and then there are people who want accountability. Often, these two are conflated which is wrong.
I think people have gotten really mean. I understand criticism, but now people have gotten very rude, disrespectful and leave disgusting comments on celebrities' social media posts. If I was an actor, I would also limit my public interactions, people have gotten scarier for sure.
Because of this pathetic social media generation actors have to be diplomatic.. really miss that time when interviews used to be so real and unfiltered
Sadly...we live in an era where politicians are celebrated and artists are questioned about burning issues, as if they're being held responsible.
Bcuz politician are are of all ideology so each can support his ideology but actors and artists are mainly of left ideology you would rarely see some actors taking stand of India in pak Kashmir issue but pak actors will clearly take stand for their country this is difference that's the reason people are going so mad over celebrity

Many have said this before, but the reason why Bollywood interviews are not special anymore, is because of Social Media. Since we see these stars regularly on the Internet, such interviews don't feel like an event anymore!
I think the discourse also is less about their saturation of appearances but more about why the answers seem to be repetitive or PR trained vs having the organic raw nature close to a decade ago

Something that I really liked from this season of Koffe was when Ajay was asked about paid PR and he said that - only the audience will decide the fate of the film after the first or the second show all of the showbiz is just for you to be happy. I think this concludes on how well informed and clear the senior generation of actors in Hindi film industry is.
They have survived 3 decades bro.. 90s kids are now fathers and their kids are now fans of these senior actors.
Superstars have always existed from the time of rajesh khanna,dilip kumar but no one survived for more than 15 years( Lead+superstar status)

Not really true some movies which are not that good but pr made them bigger hits than it really needs to be look at our calendar this year only few films were actually deserving rest of them were hyped too much for no reason.one pattern is common among all of them is a controversy before the release and huge amount of social media presence around them hypes are predictable

it's boring now as they have started giving very diplomatic answers and aren't totally honest about their opinions or answers cause of the cancel culture on twitter and i don't blame them. i've been using twitter since a long time and people just take clips and tweet it out of context and start giving hate for no reason. one of the major reason why it's boring and even koffee w karan now is boring asf cause of the same

From pandemic till Pathaan's release the condition of Bollywood was the best example how boycott formula can disrupt an entire industry.
That is so correct. It's so sad to see where we are heading.

Salman Khan is unapologetically authentic and fearless because he has the privilege to be so. He is literally the one who decides people's careers in the industry. It's all about power! See, everyone wants to be able to express themselves without holding back their true feelings. But it's not possible for everyone since very few of them stand in the same position as the 'elite' ones. They're trying to make it big here so definitely they'd take the route of diplomacy.
well, there were/are many privilege , well connected people in the industry but they were/are not as fearless as salman khan is. Besides that he was not powerful people in the industry at that time. He didn't had production house at that time neither in his family. And he hardly worked with top directors/production houses in his early days.

The fact that people get offended at a colour of a bikini Deepika wore in a song or Hritik being in a relationship with a lesser popular actor or Ranbir telling Alia to wipe off her lipstick but not on rising inflation, poverty, crime, lack of education etc shows the mindset of the current generation and social media culture.

People complained about celebrities coming off as unlikable when they did candid unfiltered interviews. And now when they’re protecting themselves with smart, calculated and structured interviews they say it’s boring or these celebrities have no selling factor?
It’s the problem with treating these celebrities as larger than life, holier than thou standard that’s causing this. Just accept they’re humans full of flaws like everyone else just with a lot of money and a lot of people watching them and leave it alone.
One of my favorite interviews was Shahrukh Khan on AIB. It was hilarious and also gave you an insight into what stars have to deal with. While I do agree that this years season of KWK is quite bland compared to previous seasons, I do not blame Karan Johar for this. The amount of trolling and threats he had to endure during the pandemic was crazy. I feel that actors are becoming less unapologetic and fearless in interviews yes because of the backlash of social media but also as a protection to their family and livelihood. I feel we as an audience have to be more forgiving and less critical over truly trivial topics, so that our actors feel safe just being themselves.
His onnum onnum moonu interview was most hilarious interview ever
Salman Khan's interviews were the key factor that made me his biggest fan... Love him ❤
People might not agree or even get outraged but the "intolerance" statement of Aamir Khan was true and is also the reason why in today's interview there is no intellectual and open thoughts because not only the artist might get roasted but absolutely torched and labelled "anti-national"
I think earlier interviews of Kangana with Anupama Chopra or when she appeared on Satyamev Jayate or with Barkha Dutt were very refreshing. She was hailed at that time for being brutally honest about Bollywood, that's before she became a loose canon that she's today. Had she maintained her respect of being raw and true to her craft she would've been more successful today. But alas!
Thats true, specially when with Anupma, she told “ as an actor you tend to become very shameless. And anything needed to survive in Mumbai without a penny, I have done it”
No other actor/acteress had spoken truth in such direct manner.
You just don't like her political opinions it seems.. having said that, being a BJP and Modi Supporter, i don't like her either
@@jay.shah96 As an artist, donating to political party of their choice is fine.
But doesnt an artist lose some portion of its fan by being a strong vocal supporter of any given political party? So why do it?
I wanna share something. See I am not a huge fan of Deepika, i do like her but still. Anyway, her talking about mental health and opening up about depression helped me personally. My family and people around me were not well aware, especially when I was going through it. So her interviews helped my mother and the people around me to understand what i am going through. I remember them sharing her videos through WhatsApp so they get more idea about my condition which was great because I didn't have to do much explaining.
Thats inspiring! But somehow personally for me, it always felt like more of a PR stunt. It could be my personal bias as well. But looking at her track record, it mostly seems like calculated PR move.
So true !
AAP bhi Deepika k PR team se ho kya

I immediately clicked on this video after reading the title. I myself have been rewatching older seasons of KWK or older interviews of celebs since past few months just for their sheer audacity and courage to speak honestly for themselves. I feel in the current era, not just celebs but we also are being too diplomatic for our own good. I call it people pleasing but it's just being coy and not saying what I truly mean to spare the other person's feelings. I wish I could change this about myself!
What Hardik pandya and KL RAHUL had to face for their appearance on koffee with Karan explains why celebs avoid being candid and realistic
My problem with ‘Koffee With Karan’ is the lack of new combinations of guests. That’s my problem since the 4th season.

True
Celebrities are giving 20 interviews a day and are being asked the same question in all the interviews. After a point I feel like they have memorised the answer and are just reciting it. I think they come prepared to answers beforehand for some FAQs. Also in the age of cancel culture most celebrities and hold themselves back from talking much.
The best and most honest interviews are of SRK
He predicted the future of India with his statement of intolerance
His interviews weren’t outrageous and filled with anger like that of Salman
He and Aamir gave intellectual interviews with good and savage lines
They talked about issues of our country
Yep, it was bad that Aamir targeted srk, but they were atleast honest about their opinions

Series* man has a tumultuous journey of a troubled celebrity and yet he is the face of the box office king.
Yes, indeed all interviews are boring these days because no question asked is genuine cause these celebs are more inclined to either sound correct for their audience or say something so bizarre that their interviews become trending on social media. Hardly anyone wants to be genuine, talk sensibly on issues and be their true self. And let us not forget, there is also a lot of political pressure too.
7:27 I still watch those episodes to refresh my memories of the show. Farooq Sheikh and Javed Saab have been the best people to discuss film and actors on TV.
The first episode with SRK was one of the best ones from the lot
I think what they are doing right now is correct. Being a srk fan, I absolutely don't shit about his political view or whatever. Being opinionated always gives mixed responses. It is their job to be diplomatic and bring as many people as they can to their movie. The same thing happened to tom cruise, earlier he used to comment on everything and behaved as he wanted which led to him getting unpopular due to huge disapproval on his comments. But now he is doing his job as an actor.
That Scientology nonsense almost got his acting career wrecked. Cultist behavior is not tolerable anywhere
Abolutely..Because actors are actors people from opposing views won't spare them and even they understand that now
It is a good thing that these so-called celebrities are held responsible for what they say and do, not that it is making much of a difference, but it might in the future. If this was done long back, we wouldn't have had criminals like Salman Khan or Sanjay Dutt in the industry in the first place. Imagine him abusing a woman who had achieved international acclaim at a time when it was not as common as it is now, and people like you "admiring his tenacity."
The question you posted to initiate the discussion is in itself the answer - it's the oversensitive and easily butthurt people keyboard warriors + the overall political climate that's only worsened (or rather become a horrid shadow of what it should be). Why would they choose to lose money for wearing their hearts on their sleeves? Most don't articulate things well unless it's SRK or Jaggu Dada doing their own bits and carrying on staying away from the mess by not creating any.
a very well made video and shows how the rapid growth of cancel culture and "trolling" has influenced the openness of celebrities, it's honestly a dilemma, whether they be organic and open about their life or just be boring but safe from scrutiny from the public regarding their choices, believes and actions.
People were much practical back then as compared to know. Nowadays, people live in this illusion that they are super progressive and witty...but it's not. I understand, some things which might be talked about can be triggering or offensive...but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We are living in delusions in this era and get offended even by the slightest statements by celebrities. I understand that they are influential people and need to realise that they have a responsibilty on their shoulders but that doesn't mean they can't openly talk about issues. People today love fakeness and lack authenticity.

Those days the absence of social media made these star less accessible to the audience and hence leading to more curiosity, mystery regarding them. Nowadays everyone is on social media with their PR designed strategies hence leading to the deja-vu feeling which further generates no interest.

Thank God finally someone said this. Previously they were raw as organic as possible. Their interviews have their own charm whether they are speaking something appealing or not so pleasing to here. But today's celebrities are so trained about everything . They're boring and this is one of the main reason people loosing interest in Bollywood
Actually it's not just bollywood. Even in Hollywood you see people like nicki Minaj, cardi, miley, eminem speaking their minds whether it be misogyny or homophobia in 2010s but now they have toned down a lot because of cancel culture. Also there are many actors in today's generation as well who have certain mysticity in them like cillian murphy and in India, tabu and shefali shah who aren't active on social media. Nowadays actors don't want to express political opinions because it makes a preconceived notion on their image and when people go to see their films, they see their image not the character, something which kangana ranaut faced. That's why actors like ranbir choose not to be on socials or express his political opinions.

I am thinking he would have said "Wha Mashallah" what would have happened
It is because a majority of these stars are on Twitter. So a lot of the hard hitting questions etc are often just thrown at them. Or worse, we just see actors ramble on twitter.
And we also need to cut some slack to new comers and outsiders because recently in hanuman promotions a reporter asked teja sajja directly if he thinks he doesn't deserve the canvas of hanuman,but actually teja is childhood actor who played younger versions of chirnajeebi ,benkatesh and many more and he struggled for 6 years for auditions and did character roles in oh baby and finally got this role,and his reply is also very good he said you don't question if second genre actors get that huge canvas like ramcharan was launched by puri jaganath and his second film was by rajamouli with magadherra which is the highest telugu budget movie at that time ,but why question us when we're in industry for such long time from childhood and finally got the opportunity
The monotony of interviews saturates their presence now. During every movie promotion so many interviews are taken on various social media platforms, asking same questions at time, the questions are also typed at one time like likes, dislikes, reaction towards a particular situation, choose this or that, some quiz questions etc. Like how its said in hindi over exposure ke shikhar ho gaye hai
Its not even about saturation of seeing the actor. I think it takes a toll on mental health to be critiqued and trolled for everything u do and say...and social media provides the actors more access to immediate and quite unpleasant feedback. I'd also shut my mouth if i were in their place and choose to be silent than honest/vulnerable.
Social Media has given a voice to a lot of reasonable people with common sense who point out hypocrisy in others and also given voice to idiots with accumulated resentment about their life.
Before, when a public figure said something everyone had to shut up and listen.
But now it works two ways -
(A) if the actor says something stupid like Kareena or Sonam usually do, then the public will immediately humble them. This ain’t a bad thing.
(B) if an actor says something nuanced. Meaning that it has a lot of context, reasoning, layered and rhetorical, then the trolls on the social media with a lot of accumulated frustration over their own lives, will begin a witch hunt on the actors and sadistically troll them.
For example in the video you posted, Salman’s words will be cut and then trolled to make it look like Salman is saying that “actors run the country, world and universe itself”.
3:49 there Sanjay Dutt talk about Salman who slapped a reporter 😂
Back in those days, there was no such thing called "Trolling". People could express what they wanted to without making a 100 calculations before.
The atmosphere has become extremely polarised. The social media and meme culture has become powerful enough to create narratives and blow it out regardless of the intention a certain statement is being made. No doubt that the interviews will be diplomatic in the light of being better safe than sorry.
It's hard to be genuine in front of crores of people when every single one of them is rigid about their opinions, and literally no one can digest an opinion different from theirs. We want celebrities to speak up only if their statements supports our thought process.. Aur agar koi apna time aur effort nikal ke samjhane ki koshish karna chahe toh uski amma behan pe aa jate hain. Kya hi karenge celebrities aisi situation mein?

This issue is not complicated at all. Nobody in Bollywood is obligated to say controversial things just to entertain the audience. Doing this has repercussions to the speaker that the audience doesn't care about. If you find a Bollywood interview "boring" because they're not saying controversial things, that's on YOU and frankly doesn't show a good image of you as a person.
Thanks for calling this out and I think you hit it on the nail with your analysis
So true! I thought I was the only one thinking this. If you look at recent interviews with old school actresses like Mahima, Rani and Amisha, the texture and quality of their interviews is so different. They're very honest about how they feel. Especially the Rani interview on Film Companion, it's a marvel. It's because these actresses have nothing to lose, there's no interest in being liked or being at the top, they just want a good role that's all.
Waiting for your next matlab kuch bhi episode jammy😊
Should be live this week ❤️
That's the reason why I love Salman!!
first of all thank you for making video about this. The social media and political intolerance has made the things worse. If deepika speaks her heart she get FIR from BJP ruling states and if kangana speaks openly (most of time it is garbage but sometimes logical) she gets FIR from other party ruling states like shivsena. So the politicians have been intolerant and pressing their agenda and wanted to stay in lime light through Bollywood stars. One of the main reason I love salman is his fearless attitude even now to speak his mind.
it's not just happening with interviews of bollywood celebrities, it is happening in a lot of other industries like comedy, media, hell also wwe and with any publicly known personality. and it is happening all around the world not just here, the biggest reason for this is everyone has access to internet where they communicate and express their common ideas. what i think about this is that this is a "thing" of this new era and generation, which will eventually fade away with time like every previous "things" of those eras did.
I agree with you Jammy... Someone needs to pick up the mantle of bringing back classic genre pf interviews where the host were genuinely interested in the guest. Jammy you have been bewstowed with this responsibility and be the guiding light for us.
Missing Rendevous with Simi Garewal.
I think that media plays a pivotal role in conveying right information but nowadays they are too busy bootlicking a political party. Celebs are aware if their statement is misconstrued which happens frequently there is gonna be a huge backlash so they refrain themselves.
When honesty is not awarded, you have to have a cover.
I personally don't like celebrities to speak about issues which are not related to their profession. Why should we care what a Bollywood celebrity feels about politics? And why their opinion really matters? They just do a simple thing : Act in front of a camera. That's it. Why don't we let the celebrities live their life's peacefully. I believe that they are normal human beings who can have flaws. They can be drug addict, fighting with anxiety, being an alcoholic etc etc. I know it would become boring if celebrities would only talk about acting but it's better for us.
Appreciate the shout-out at 4:03 mate!
This is the reason people love Salman khan
I think the image management and legal teams would be forcing actors to keep their responses as vanilla as possible. Just the logistics of appearing in court for FIRs filed would be a nightmare.. that too over stuff that doesn’t even necessarily happen in the public domain. Reminds me of how in OMG2 the character of Pankaj Tripathi is inundated with court cases in various states and would have needed to go everywhere 😪.. boring interviews cab happen at all times, but cancel culture definitely is a major cause
Any Movie
I would say current stars are really not much educated or intelect , the opprtunity to see the stars is ample becaue of social media , here Pankhaj T and Manoj Kumar still talks deep and detail, a stand up comedian apparently sikh , he has also guts to talk with intelect , Salman still talks with the same attitutde , Srk still able to manage his skin of wit, social media is trendy so the people used to forgot rather than forgive , today's stars must try to make thier personalities instead of content.
Its the saturation of appearances of the new age celebrities and also the fear of cancel culture acting as a filter for them. Anything they utter can cause and outrage so huge that can alter course of their careers so its best to be politically correct about things in these intolerant times.
This topic i think very important. A stark difference from Tamil industry. There are so many fantastic interviews with directors mostly and actors but purely focussed on the artform and the movie. These interviews over the years have truely increased the viewer understanding of cinema and even the new crop directors. Likes of Baddy and Sudhir deserve a lot of praise for that. But when it comes to bollywood interviews its all too personal about the actors. That star worship needs to go firstly i believe. The interviews should be on the art form and not personal life. That should only be a small part. Firstly, bollywood needs to have more interviews with creators and not actors. For example, interviews with Pa.ranjith, raj B shetty, lokesh, mari selvaraj, myskin, thiyagaran kumaraja, vanga with baddy were all pure gold. He even started doing interviews with character role artistes like Charlie and others which were just phenomenal.
I believe, that some seriously good Movie critics have really made a hude difference in tamil cinema creators and viewers in the last 5-6 years. For a new or young director to have an interview with baddy has almost become a great expectation for me to explore and understand the artform. I guess, good content and appreciation will just follow. I have always felt this was a big lag in bollywood. May things change. May creators get more focus than actors and good cinema will flourish.
Bollywood is 50% fashion industry and 50% movie industry 😂that's why dino morea become lead in movies
becoz the south is more educated
@@nikhilkambli2008 that's why south movies don't follow basic physics
@@nikhilkambli2008 I don't like garbage south masala because of action
@@slayer81 ur seeing the wrong films then! tatti bollywood or south dono mein banti hai. but overall they have better stories
I think it also has to do a bit with celebrity worship. A lot of people nowadays don't put celebrities on a pedestal and call their bullshit outright, which is a good thing, but they also act as if they're better than the celebrities and judge their lives.
Celebrities had the leeway to say whatever they wanted, totally unfiltered, in the old days because of how people never said anything against them because of admiration.
The main reasons interviews are boring today is cheap internet and a social media. People today are scrutinizing each and everything celebrities do.
The past - 70's 80's 90's generation was raw and on the face not just India but the west as well... ever since the emergence of social media and image correction culture came up... people toned down
that was a different era. today it is just online warriors fighting and making noise
Hey @jammypants4! Thanks for this video Jammy! I love these videos you post of past interviews. Do you think you could do a series where you can post video for each big superstar from the 90s and their interviews in chronological order, providing links for the interviews? Thank you
The interviews are so boring today because the actors are all scared of being cancelled and boycotted. I mean Amir Khan said something years ago and he is still being treated horribly. Some other actor may have said something years ago and people bring it up now on social media and troll and ridicule that actor. It's absolutely absurd. Even if we don't go back years, just look what is happening to Deepika right now. She was being honest and very candid on KwK and everyone started s*lut-shaming her and calling her names. That is why the rest of the season is so boring because no one wants to go through that.
that is not something , he just randomly gave a statement when no one asked for it , good pr stunt in those days
Hey Jammy, way to go with starting the year with this banger of a video essay....♥️
You missed to mention Abhay Deol.. he always speaks what is his in mind and never hesitate to call out
Contemporary Bollywood interviews often seem to lack the depth and universality that characterized earlier talk shows. Shows like "Koffee with Karan" and "Rendezvous" were not only entertaining but also appealed to a broad audience, transcending generational boundaries. Remarkably, even actors who graced those talk shows continue to offer more compelling interviews today.The current trend, however, appears to prioritize catering to a specific target audience, primarily the younger generation. This approach tends to sideline the broader appeal that interviews once had. A noticeable shift towards superficial topics, such as fashion, glamour, and personal lives, has become prevalent. Unfortunately, this often overshadows the genuine and authentic conversations that used to take place.There seems to be a reluctance among the younger generation to embrace vulnerability during interviews, likely stemming from concerns about potential backlash in today's hyper connected world. The fear of being misunderstood or misrepresented may contribute to a more guarded approach, limiting the spontaneity and openness that characterized interviews of the past.Furthermore, the predominant focus on promotional activities for upcoming projects has created a constraint on the range of topics discussed. The need to adhere to marketing strategies often leads to a scripted and less genuine exchange, diminishing the overall richness of the conversation. In contrast to earlier times, where interviews were opportunities for personalities to share their thoughts and experiences freely, today's interviews appear more directed towards projecting a carefully curated image. As a result, the essence of genuine, insightful conversations that transcended age groups seems to have been somewhat lost in the current landscape of Bollywood interviews.
Most of the times reporters have given the list containing the questions NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ASKED which automatically makes the interview dull and boring.
The problem is people have access to backlash sitting at the comfort of their sofas. Remember when SRK said that intolerance in India is increasing and it should be controlled for democracy. But everyone attacked him, asked him to go to Pakistan. No one can say their view point.
Social media is the only reason, because now anyone can write and react the way they want on the video they watch. Also anyone can make a video to criticise or appreciate with their own perspective and view.
Like you are doing it with this video.
Pls read this
I am not gone lie 2 years back, I was reading a Cineblitz magazine (1985). I read a sanjay dutt's interview he was 26 years old at that time(which he said). He was mentioning his that time girlfriend Sha (Phillipines airhostess).He also said how he was devastated by the breakup with tina munim (now tina ambani).
He also mentioned how he dated various v girls like every type beautiful, plain,scrawny,voluptuous etc, and how he is very possesive about her women, which leads the end of the relationship.
He also said if I'll go by my way I would keep my women in a miiror case where i only I can see her and touch her and no women will take it which is true.I was totally shocked by reading that article.Now u guys tell me which actor nowdays have guts to say in an interview.
I think that due to excessive use of social media, we have come to know more about these people than necessary, so now bad things as well as good things too seem boring Now whether it is the things spoken in an interview or in a conference..
Mujhe south movies nhi pasnd but unke lead actor bikul hamre jese dikhte h bollywood actors bahut alag dikhte h 😢
Now, whatever happens or is said, we have a dedicated team to analyze it, cross-section it, decipher its word-by-word meaning, explore the nuances between words, and perform various other analyses. Actors don't want to be highlighted outside of their film roles. I believe politicians also encounter similar challenges in their speeches.
Nowadays audience have become impulsive in comparison to previous generation which might be the one of the reasons for celebs for not opening up about their views on anything
Actors are not be blamed here, its the public who needs to take a chill pill...India is definitely progressing in this Digital age but there are downsides as well...Yesterday i was reading comments on some Sikh influencers and people had written "Lassi" in comment section bullying them i mean really we are going that low for a community who are our brothers and sisters.... We Indians are not used to this Digital platform and need to learn some digital etiquettes as well...Forget about Bollywood , Media and Social Media is enough to create issues within the country..
Of course celebrities are rightfully scared of being under the micro scanner and therefore don't talk about issues but I also feel that celebrities should also take advantage of the information era and educate themselves better so they can talk about issues credibly. They are scared to take sides (which is fair) but to not even be rightfully informed of why two sides are feuding is what frustrates me.
When dealing with an audience in this economy, you have to define the rabble rousers who just want to cause chaos and then there are people who want accountability. Often, these two are conflated which is wrong.
I think people have gotten really mean. I understand criticism, but now people have gotten very rude, disrespectful and leave disgusting comments on celebrities' social media posts. If I was an actor, I would also limit my public interactions, people have gotten scarier for sure.
Because of this pathetic social media generation actors have to be diplomatic.. really miss that time when interviews used to be so real and unfiltered
