Every one has every right to take their time to chose a life partner but Buffie, why are you taking it so personally. They are celebrities, even their fans talk about them. I didn't started comparing them to begin with. I care less how many men Ash or Mona are friends with before they make their decision. This is not 20th century that parents finalize the arranged marriage and kids just accept it. Its totally different in these days. Even in olden days, people used to rush into things and if its a mistake, couples pay back by separation or divorces. These days kids are more mature to make their own decision. But when its celebrities, every little detail goes around so fast and spread like a wild fire. People talked about Amitabh/Rekha, Dharmendra/Hema and so many others.
Whether its Mona or Ash or Abhi, they make decisions at their convenience and for their own good regardless of the fact how their fans gonna react to it. So why take it personally?
yes,I feel people on this forum are biased..not from now,but from a long time..there was once an article about Mona,were she had badmouthed her own show,contradicted herself,and what not..people defended that contradictions also....Mona in her previous articles had said that she is just like jassi,then she said that she is not at all like jassi....Such a blatent contradiction,and people werent even ready to accept that it was a contradiction....Its not a question of whether the contradiction was right or wrong,it was a contradiction,people refused to even accept that it was a contradiction.....People used to berate Shilpa,and for the same reason,glorify Mona....
You say "liking one for the same reason as hating the other"...elucidate please,because I would really like to know,....I dont find any traits common in Ash and Mona,that I like the former for that trait,and hate the latter for the same trait๐...I like Ash for her humility,her interviews,wherein she NEVER brags about anything/contradicts herself/badmouths her movies/cribs about her 24-7 job/endlessly talks about the SAME issue like a broken record(like how some ppl talk about their weight loss)/goes around denying rumours when the feelers are just too strong that she might in actuality be dating ...Yeah,which of these traits are common among Ash and Mona....๐
I agree,everyone have different outlooks,but blaming one person for something,and condoning another person's SAME act called being bias...Umm,Comparing Ash and Mona....No,I didnt compare the two actresses per se,but people's outlook towards their favourites and their non favourites...Neelam di on one hand says that Ash dumps men,and then says that Mona has all the right to decide and think before going public...Now,shouldnt Ash or for that matter any other celebrity too be given the same treatment.....I take Ash's name specifically because she is the one who is constantly targetted,now if it is anyother Tom Dick or Harry,I would be saying the same..Neelam di then talks about Ash's "dark" personality..Now none of us know these people personally,we only have access to their interviews/public appearances etc...So isnt judging a person,based on mere assumption wrong??....Mona fans would never even agree that she contradicted herself,whereas they would easily call their non-favourites names,over mere speculation.....I know I'm not all that big a mona fan,But I can say that I've never accused her for her personal decisions(like dating or not dating KO),or acused her for reasons I defend others for....I know this was long๐คข,and I really suck at economising with words๐คข..Thanks for your time
Every one has every right to take their time to chose a life partner but Buffie, why are you taking it so personally. Neelam di,its not about Ash,the star or Mona the star...Its got nothing to do with these people whom we know by the name of Aishwarya and Mona..Its all about our thoughts,personal actions...As I said,had it been Rani who is targetted,I would have defended her too,albeit I'm not a rani fan at all....Its just about people's thoughts,which is appalling....People talk about woman emancipation,women rights etc,and then accuse a woman for ending her relationship with men and for evading questions about her personal life,and defend the favourites for the SAME reason๐.....That is what is so amusing as well as disturbing...Ash is accused for stonewalling personal questions,but when other celebrities do so,their act is accepted without raising an eyebrow๐.They are celebrities, even their fans talk about them. I didn't started comparing them to begin with....Even I didnt compare the two,I just compared people's attitude towards their favourites and non-favourites...I like Ash,but I did agree on the fact that her accent keeps changing,as she didntsound the way she did on Oprah on KWK....Being an Ash fan,I wouldnt refute that she at times puts on an accent,which is a fact....Her answers arent as good as Sushmita's or Lara's,thus I do agree that one cant call her the "smartest" person to represent india,but whatever she is doing,she is doing quite well....again saying,I dont have any business to talk about people's personal opinions on as to how they perceive the giggling/accent/interviews etc...But when people set to contradict me personal opinions,its then that i reply....I care less how many men Ash or Mona are friends with before they make their decision. This is not 20th century that parents finalize the arranged marriage and kids just accept it. Its totally different in these days. ..Yes,so why speak about the "breaking up two times" in a derogatory sense...I know people who annually break up,but they dont garner one millionth the flak ash does....Di,it was you who said that ash dumps men,that's why I replied,because i just dont understand how the "breaking up with two men" could make a person diabolic..Had people said the same about say Rani too,I would have replied the same way...peirty has broken up with so many men,why arent her break ups sensationalized and why isnt she hated for dumping men.....Even in olden days, people used to rush into things and if its a mistake, couples pay back by separation or divorces. These days kids are more mature to make their own decision. But when its celebrities, every little detail goes around so fast and spread like a wild fire. People talked about Amitabh/Rekha, Dharmendra/Hema and so many others.
Yes,talking about celebrities is fine....But talking based on mere speculations is wrong....Now hypothetically lets say there is an article tomorrow..saying that X is divorcing Y for X.Now this is a mere speculation,and if people call X names,just based on this rumour,then that is wrong
Whether its Mona or Ash or Abhi, they make decisions at their convenience and for their own good regardless of the fact how their fans gonna react to it. So why take it personally?
No neelam di,I didnt take it personally...Just the thoughts,because,somewhere I fear that what if I have to face the same thing tomorrow..I'm no celebrity,bu I just think about how it'd be,if I am hated by the people who dont even know me,for false reasons...Its that which is so disturbing,as I just couldnt care less about celebrities as such..Ash just doesnt appear in my scheme of things,nor am I a great fan of that lady's acting prowess(but provided she gets a good director,she can perform),nor do I care about what she does in her private life...Its just a thought that one is defending here,personal thoughts about something which one feels is unfair

You dislike Mona and the reason being her articles but U fail to understand that its the same way for ash too,there may be many who would dislike her by her interviews and articles ,You feel its fine to defend ash but get offended when someone defends mona and call them bias. Now tell me if u feel that u are biased and correct in defending Ash as she porrays humility then why cant others do the same.Its that which is so disturbing,as I just couldnt care less about celebrities as such..Ash just doesnt appear in my scheme of things,nor am I a great fan of that lady's acting prowess(but provided she gets a good director,she can perform),nor do I care about what she does in her private life...Its just a thought that one is defending here,personal thoughts about something which one feels is unfair
No one critivised ash for dumping anyone,hell no one even took her name on this thread except when u started it . Ash can deny any realtionship she wants to and My liking or disliking her has nothing to do with it .The samne reasons that u pointed out,her accent that she puts on and her fake giggles thats wht makes me dislike her a liitle bit .so whats wrong ,where does bias come in .As i said what u see as good may not be good for others and that does not make anyone biased .

Tina,the ones below are speculations
Jassi, Karan sizzle in Goa
By: Tushar Joshi
November 29, 2005
Now the above is what is called a speculation,write ups where we have lines like "a source on the set said"..."an actor who is close to the star said"....these are speculations....whereas the following is an INTERVIEW Bollywood Interview Mona Singh - 'Jassi'17th March 2006 07:36:44 Bollywood Mumbai: Now that "Jassi... Jaisi Koi Nahin" is nearing an end, Mona Singh speaks on the trauma of being the protagonist 24x7 and rumours of a romance with co-star Karan Oberoi. "There's nothing! I am too ambitious to get into a relationship," Mona told IANS in an interview. After "Jassi...", Mona wants to throw away the garb of Jassi and create a place for herself as Mona Singh in showbiz. "I have to find my own identity now. It's been three years! I was zapped mentally... Imagine telling people all the time that I wasn't Mona, that I was this make-believe character named Jassi." "But I'm not going to burst into an item number just to prove I'm not Jassi in real life. I'll only do what I'm comfortable with. I hope there are some good roles written for me."Excerpts from the interview:Jassi...No, don't call me that any more. I am Mona. I have to find my own identity now. It's been three years! I was zapped mentally... Imagine telling people all the time that I wasn't Mona, that I was this make-believe character named Jassi. Initially, I sort of enjoyed the anonymity. But after a while it became a mental torture to be 'Jassi' even at awards functions. I used to plead with my channel (Sony) to let me be myself at least at the awards function. Because, it was Mona Singh and not Jassi who received the awards. But they insisted.So how did you cope?My family was my reality check. My father kept telling me to wait for Jassi's makeover to happen. Then I'd at least look like myself...I had become like Clark Kent, waiting to be Superman. I used to keep repeating to myself, 'Jassi isn't me and I am not Jassi.' In the morning when I'd wake up my hands would automatically go to my face to look for the wig, the glasses... When Jassi's makeover happened in Mauritius I couldn't act! I needed the Jassi props (braces, wig, etc) to emote. I forgot my dialogues! I was assured by my co-star Veerendra Saxena who plays my father that I'd be okay in a month.Are you now comfortable with your own natural looks?Yes. I am. It took me a while. Right after the makeover I used to be startled by my own image. Even today when I look like my normal self I hide behind the nearest flowerpot. And then suddenly tell myself, 'Mona, you don't have to hide.' But then there was the upside. "Jassi..." gave me such amazing fame. The serial broke every rule of soap manufacturing. Today there are so many soaps about middleclass girls.So what plans for the future?I was born on Oct 8. No. 8 people don't plan anything. Whenever I do, it all goes for a toss. I just believe in going with the flow. Immediately after "Jassi...", I need a big break. Even if I do another serial now it can never be as big as "Jassi" for me. I have no plans to do another serial. But I am doing a film with Bobby Pushkarna.Do you play an ordinary middleclass girl?I'm a middleclass girl. But I'm in no way ordinary. It'll be a completely different character and look in the film...But I don't get that many offers because lots of people believe I am still contracted with Sony, which I am not after May 2006. We still don't know when "Jassi..." ends, which is a little strange.A lot of criticism has been levelled at your serial for dragging its feet?How come no one talks about "Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" dragging on? Sony says "Jassi..." will end soon. Every soap drags after two years.Are you fearful of the future?I am not sure what else I can do besides "Jassi..." But I'm not going to burst into an item number just to prove I'm not Jassi in real life. I'll only do what I'm comfortable with. I hope there are some good roles written for me. After going through so many personality changes on "Jassi..." I can play a psycho very well.What about your romance with Karan Oberoi?What romance? There's nothing! I am too ambitious to get into a relationship.But the two of you sing songs to each other!Each other? I sang to the whole crew of "Jassi..." and he happened to be part of it. Karan is definitely a good pal, just like Nandu is. They can't link me with Nandu. So they link me with Karan.Who's Nandu?My other co-star Gaurav in "Jassi..." Sorry, I shouldn't call him Nandu.Finally, how much have you accumulated in your bank account?Not even a crore (Rs.10 million). But I'm a very rich woman in terms of the experience that "Jassi... Jaisi Koi Nahin" has offered me. I'm a happy person by nature. No point in doing your work if you don't enjoy it. Yes, there were times when I didn't want to shoot, when I wasn't convinced of what Jassi had to do. Then I'd get a call from the channel saying, "Listen this is a daily. Don't ask questions. Just convince people even if you aren't convinced."After "Jassi...", Mona wants to throw away the garb of Jassi and create a place for herself as Mona Singh in showbiz. "I have to find my own identity now. It's been three years! I was zapped mentally... Imagine telling people all the time that I wasn't Mona, that I was this make-believe character named Jassi." "But I'm not going to burst into an item number just to prove I'm not Jassi in real life. I'll only do what I'm comfortable with. I hope there are some good roles written for me."

SO there is a difference between articles and interviews..Articles(especially the mid day ones) can be fabricated,I dont think any daily would publish a fake interview,the actress would have sued the paper then.....Thus speculation=! interview..Interviews are authentic,write ups are mostly fabricated |
yes,I feel people on this forum are biased..not from now,but from a long time..there was once an article about Mona,were she had badmouthed her own show,contradicted herself,and what not..people defended that contradictions also....Mona in her previous articles had said that she is just like jassi,then she said that she is not at all like jassi....Such a blatent contradiction,and people werent even ready to accept that it was a contradiction....Its not a question of whether the contradiction was right or wrong,it was a contradiction,people refused to even accept that it was a contradiction.....People used to berate Shilpa,and for the same reason,glorify Mona....
You say "liking one for the same reason as hating the other"...elucidate please,because I would really like to know,....I dont find any traits common in Ash and Mona,that I like the former for that trait,and hate the latter for the same trait๐...I like Ash for her humility,her interviewsI dont find her evena little bit huumble espp in her interview in 60 minutes,infact it was irritating to say the leat,she was artificial,she put on an aceent and when asked whether she again giggled and then she was behaving as if the 60+ guy was trying to flirt with her gosh now does Mona do the same ...............she never puts on fake giggles,she never left one guy,saw another and now going out with the third one ( this si from whatever i heard from articles) and she never puts ona fake accent and denying her realtions when the feelers are too strong ,wherein she NEVER brags about anything/contradicts herself/badmouths her movies/cribs about her 24-7 job/endlessly talks about the SAME issue like a broken record(like how some ppl talk about their weight loss)/goes around denying rumours when the feelers are just too strong that she might in actuality be dating ...Yeah,which of these traits are common among Ash and Mona....๐ yeah which of these traits are common between Mona and Ash sow hy compare them
I agree,everyone have different outlooks,but blaming one person for something,and condoning another person's SAME act called being bias...Umm,Comparing Ash and Mona....No,I didnt compare the two actresses per se,but people's outlook towards their favourites and their non favourites...Neelam di on one hand says that Ash dumps men,and then says that Mona has all the right to decide and think before going public...Now,shouldnt Ash or for that matter any other celebrity too be given the same treatment.....I take Ash's name specifically because she is the one who is constantly targetted,No one targetted her,infact i think it was you who compared her with Mona i this thread now if it is anyother Tom Dick or Harry,I would be saying the same..Neelam di then talks about Ash's "dark" personality..Now none of us know these people personally,we only have access to their interviews/public appearances etc...So isnt judging a person,based on mere assumption wrong??.Thats exactly what I am saying,u have said it urself that whatever assumptions u draw is from what u have seen from their interviews then why is it that u are calling others biased when what u said above clearly explains our perspectives abt Mona and Ash ...Mona fans would never even agree that she contradicted herself,whereas they would easily call their non-favourites names,over mere speculation..how can u say its mere speculation.,inafct u are acting biased coz u find ash's interviews mere specualtion and tell that we shouldnt assume anything coz of their interviews and then u do the same with Mona ..I know I'm not all that big a mona fan,But I can say that I've never accused her for her personal decisions(like dating or not dating KO),or acused her for reasonsNor did i accuse or dislike ash bcoz of her personal decision to dump or love anyone I defend others for....I know this was long๐คข,and I really suck at economising with words๐คข..Thanks for your time me too

But they insisted. what is wrong with this article,she was playing jassi for three years with her garb and not revealed herself for two years,she went everywhere in her jassi garb,spoke like jassi so obviously anyone would want to break away from their image so that it doesnt affect them .Any intelligent person would understand her statement . From what statement of hers made u think that she hates being jassi,all she said was she wants to be known as Mona and that doesnt mean she hates being jassi ,yes she may be tired of being jassi onand offscreen and wanted her own identity to come out but then nowhere in this interview does she say that she hates being jassi ,she said "dont call me jassi " she didnt say she hates playing jassi ..........know the difference and read the interview again
SO there is a difference between articles and interviews..Articles(especially the mid day ones) can be fabricated,I dont think any daily would publish a fake interview,the actress would have sued the paper then.....Thus speculation=! interview..Interviews are authentic,write ups are mostly fabricated |
Tina,you surely arent getting it ๐ ..For once,lets not start aga8in as to whether Mona was right or wrong ,but a contradiction is a contradiction....Just like how a fake accent,is a fake accent....One has to agree,that There was a contradiction,as well as Ash does put up an accent...Now whether its right or wrong is not the question,the question is whether it is a fake accent or not..whether it is a contradiction or not....
...Now as I said commenting about appearances in talk shows is fine,so I wouldnt go on to contradict you there..But tell me this...Now how does a person become not so humble only because that person laughs ๐ ...On one hand,we have Kajol,who giggles so much,but is the snootiest thing in Bollywood ๐คข and we have Ash,who does giggle,but is nice to her fans who meet her....Now how does giggling make a person pompous ๐ ..Lara Dutta giggles more than Ash does,why isnt she called fake ๐ .. ..One has to watch LAra on rendezvous/KWK,she giggled for almost every single line..Literally,every line...Why isnt she called pompous๐
Firstly,You're saying that Mona doesnt deny about relationships....WHy is she denying about KAran then...Karan is more than just a friend,its too obvious that they are more than friends....Its alright for Mona to deny,but Ash cant....
about Ash's dating men....Well,Not going to repeat as its of no use..SO emancipated women,would continue talking about how its so wrong for a woman to end her relationship,and then call men chauvinists..Talk about hypocrisy again! ๐คข ...But heaven forbid,if anyone says that Mona dumped Karan for bollywood,ppl would say that its her life,her choice...... ๐
how can u say its mere speculation.,inafct u are acting biased coz u find ash's interviews mere specualtion and tell that we shouldnt assume anything coz of their interviews and then u do the same with Mona
Ok,I dont think you got what I meant....Interviews CAN NEVER EVER be speculation..Be it anyone's interview,it can NEVER be a speculation..Write ups may be(and mostly are๐คข) speculations....
I never said that Ash's interviews are speculations ๐ The write ups about her,about her liaison with Abhishek,the reason for her split with VO etc are speculations,as NONE OF THE CONCERNED PEOPLE said anything..Ash didnt give any interview saying why she split,or why she is dating anyone....Thus I choose not to believe speculation,not only concerning ash,concerning any celebrity....I only believe interviews...There is a speculation doing rounds that RAni is having an affair with Aditya chopra,which I dont believe,..Now if Rani gives an interview regarding this,I would believe it....
People judge Ash based on speculation..SO if the media says that she's dating Abhishek,people would blindly believe it,and would blindly say that she's there to ruin abhisheks' life....But when the media reported that Karan and Mona were together in goa,people chose not to believe that....That's bias...If anything negative is written about one we dont like,we have a field day,but if anything negative is said about the favourites,defense would galore...Not only here,everywhere..In the KYPH forum,people would go to any level to prove that a speculation about neha is false,and some would capitalize on it and would start mocking neha..Both,which is wrong...Ditto with the RAjeev khandelwal fans...Fans blindly defend.....Say anything negative about HGT/Hussain Tina,fans would go berserk ...Mostly,all fans are biased,and that's very natural...Only that some dont agree that they are biased
