Is Rajshri above criticism?

Since my last post was closed I couldn't reply. But the comments got me thinking and I wanted to know is Rajshri just because of the fact that she has acted well 98% of the time above criticism here? I didn't like her baby voice nor did I think she acted well. The damsel-ness I didn't like at all, nor did I like that she was acting like Dadi is her best friend. Can I not say that? Her physical attributes u guys might have got me there as its against IF rules to talk about the attributes of the actor/actress. So I will say I think she needs to lose a bit of weight coz her weight goes up and down in the show and it doesn't suit her character. And now the pimples that I see on her face. I dnt know I see them. I use glasses so maybe I see better. I dnt know we all get them. Bt still she is an actress it can be hidden. My last post I spoke to Bobby about it coz honestly I didn't feel I said anything wrong besides 1 word ab Yuvraj and I really wanted to reply to the comments there. But she said my post came about quite forceful. How I see something I say it. Its an opinion nothing more nothing less. I dnt tell anyone how to react or feel about something and what to do or not do coz we all just sharing our opinion which I simple state not a fact. So I was quite surprised by this comment. But 1 thing Yuvraj / Sahil fans get a lot of flank coz of the character and his off screen behavior. Every1 gangs up to attack him I dnt see them crying wolf just saying. I feel if u see something good appreciate it and if u see something bad then say it too. If u can appreciate u can diss, if u can diss u can appreciate. Simple. I dnt know if this post will be closed or not bt I have tried to be within the rules of IF although I haven't read them lol.Edited by sandiab - 8 years ago

To be fair, difference of opinion is treated much better here than most forums...comparatively. BUT:Edited by drummedup - 8 years ago

I read both posts and I agree we all should have our freedom of speech. Rajshree's acting yesterday was def not at par. She has always performed well. And if we point out few flaws, the whole forum wakes up and it becomes a bashing zone. We are not saying we don't like her, we just pointed that it could have been better ESP since it was such an important scene. In fact not just rajshree, everyone failed to do their best yesterday. Sahil looked meh, and so did Pratima, Bhavna and Sharad were missing.

As far as weight is concerned, I completely agree, she has def gained a lot, not sure if it's the camera or something. But I watched her rehearsal videos for SPA and it's pretty obvious. I hope she realizes and works around it. If u compare it with when the show started to now, everyone looks the same excepting her. Being a lead actress, I think you need to be more conscious with everything.

I know my post will be bashed too, but I am sharing my two honest cents and everyone is entitled to do it..

We have actually had a similar argument in the past. I remember. around that Janmashtami episode you and I had discussed Rajshri fluctuating weight/look/appearance. Du weighed in with the thyroid possibility, and then someone made it a feminist issue, which was so totally whacko.
For the record, I really appreciated the way Radhika, laxmi, etc disagreed on Sandi's closed thread. As Radhika and Suna say above, we all know that Sandi is a great Rajshri fan. I like Raj tremendously too, as much for her off-screen behaviour as for her acting, but I have sometimes found her off, so it's no surprise if either she was not at her best or she was but it didn't appeal to Sandi. I personally hated Suhani doing the baby voice, it got on my nerves. I hated Suhani's nakhras. Eventually I had a lot of issues with Suhani herself, but none of that translates to having it in for Rajshri. She is an excellent actress, but she's human. She can be less than perfect. Pointing that out is not bashing (if we ignore the comment about the hero, lol).
Rajshri DOES need to do something about her weight, IMO. She looks gorgeous at times, and quite bad at others, and it's only partly the make-up. I want very much for Rajshri to shine, and it was always distracting when I found myself more fixated on what was wrong with her look than what was happening in the serial.
Criticism is NOT wrong, people. It is someone taking the trouble  to point out something that could be fixed. Don't treat your favourites as holy cows, for heaven's sake.
And some of us have felt that there was a bit too much venom directed at Sahil at times, especially in matters that were not even serial-related. may be he does invite it, though.
Agree with all the posts above. Edited by anita_m - 8 years ago

Personally I could not give a toss to the offscreen antics of any of the actors or actresses. It would be nice if everyone in the world was exactly as we wanted them to be but since we all have varying expectations no one person is ever going to be everything to everyone.

I agree with you, no-one is above criticism...
