Little harsh no?
TV star fans in particular get worked up whenever anyone says anything bad/provides any sort of criticism to their favourite actor/actress. These are people who watch these shows and now consider those stars as a part of their daily routine. A lot of fans think they connect well with the character being portrayed on screen, or a lot of the times they fall in love with the image the actor is portraying on screen. In reality, when someone points a finger at someone we love and respect then it's natural for us to stand up for them right? So that's exactly what fans are doing. A lot of the time they don't realise that the person whom they admire and respect so much on screen is just a fictional character and in reality the actor and the character portrayed on screen are very different people.
It also explains why we sometimes link the actors with their lady love on screen, because we connect so well with the couple. Seeing as you're a Maaneet fan, let me give you an example of them. I love Maan to bits. I think he's the perfect guy and any girl would be lucky to have a guy like that in her life. Now DD plays the character of Geet really well. But both Drashti and Geet are very bubbly people both on-screen and off-screen so maybe that's why I connect better with Drashti. I'd personally LOVE to see Drashti and Gurmeet hook up together but of course, Gurmeet already has a long-term girlfriend. I never objected to this, nor did I have a problem with his blog and neither was I one of the people that ever wrote a comment on his blog, let alone bash Debina. But after I read his latest blog entry, I couldn't help but think to myself..damn..you're nowhere near as perfect as Maan Singh Khurana. Maan Singh Khurana is an aggressive man, who often crosses all limits but even he wouldn't speak so rudely to anyone. I hated it when Gurmeet generalised all of his fans in to the same category and no doubt, from that day onwards Gurmeet lost a couple of fans. So I guess it's all about knowing your limits and realising what's fiction and what isn't and trying not to get yourself too emotionally attached to a fictional show.
