Hi TT, how's it going?was reading your comment about Nakuul and best way to separate character from actors. While we are on this, I hv often wondered why fans send gifts to actors? I mean I wd never waste my money for which I worked my ass off, on actors even if being a diehard fan. I can understand scrapbooks n all but People send cakes, sunglasses, cups, jewelry, cushions(who keeps cushions with their own face on it at home?) and what not. Beats me Or am I being too practical /insensitive?
Duuuuude, I have the exaaaaact same question. Like, I just don’t get it. I don’t understand that LEVEL of fandom, that you actually track down the set’s address, and you send things to them???? Also, how could these fans possibly know about personal taste and diet/health restrictions? What if someone’s diabetic? What if someone’s vegan? What if they plain just don’t like this thing you’re spending money on??? Like… ON WHAT BASIS ARE YOU MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THESE PPL AND SENDING THEM THESE THINGS???
Ok but tbh, I’m a veryyyy super-mega-low-key person when it comes to celebs. I have less than zero interest in meeting/interacting with them no matter HOW much I like them. If I saw a famous person, I would actually turn the other direction and walk away. Tooooo much michmichi. So… Maybe I’m not the best person to have a take on this.
(Fun fact: I totally passed up an opportunity to meet Sobti when he was in town, that too when I was in the throes of my IPK craze. Not upon the pain of death could my best friend convince me to go. Yup, so you get my level of michmichi.)
But I also don’t get the actors encouraging this. 1. Showing gifts off on your social media is just hella tackyyyyy and 2. I’m sure it’s very flattering and all, but hello, the safety aspect? My paranoid ass would NEVER eat something that came from someone I don’t know, ffs. Who knows what kinda crazies lurk out there???? How are you ppl just willy-nilly consuming alllllll the food that’s sent to you?????????? THERE COULD BE RAZOR BLADES IN THAT CAKE. THAT PIZZA COULD BE POISONED. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PPL???
The jewelry thing these girls do (and allllll of them do it. Esp Shrenu, Neha and Subha. Kunal and Lee do it occasionally too, with some tech stuff) seems to be some kinda promo thing for these instagram retailers. IDK if they’re getting paid for it, or just getting free stuff outta it, but overall, it’s really weird and annoying. I do heavyyyyy side-eye and swipe away whenever I see those posts.
