Love2HateU

It's a show on Star Plus, "Love2HateU", what's special about it,nothing besides, Arjun Rampal. Love2HateU, brings the hater and the hated face to face. In this case the hated is always a personality (actors, writers, sportsmen, directors and others). Then begins the "face-off". The "hater" puts in words their hatred for the "hated", their work and everything and anything they hate about this person and rate their hatred on a "hate-o meter". Then the "hated tries to, what's the word", justify, clarify any other "fy" their action/reaction/work...



What's the point. The show began with Arjun Rampal facing his "hater", the"hater", less said the best (about the hater). Am I promoting the show, hell no, then why this post. I am inspired by Mr Mahesh Bhatt's poise when this lady went on about how his films are sleazy, he has an opinion on everything, and many more things. He gave it back to her equally strong. But that man was unfazed till the end. Finally, he even asked the woman to get all the negativity inside her out and he prodded her, there came a point when she was at loss of words. And this guys actually hugs her and praises her for being a strong woman and having the guts to say what she thinks. 


Don't know why, after Zakhm, if it is really about Mr Bhatt, I must say he was one strong kid and continues to be a strong, independent man caring a hoot about the world and saying what he has to. Always like people like that. Absolutely amused by the way the Bhatts carried themselves about in the film industry. Was a little upset when he praised Mr Laloo Prasad Yadav for his role in Bihar during the communal riots. Then came his film Jism. Man did he have guts or what. He gave what the people wanted to see without trying to cover it up or dress it up pretty. A few more followed. It is interesting to watch Mr Bhatt on discussions, especially how vehemently he sticks by his stance. Then "Love2HateU" happens, this woman went on and on... he kept prodding her to do better and the show ended on a emotional note. 


How many of us can actually face even a small negative comment/ critic about  ourselves. Even when friends or friends say something close to negative, our radars are up weapons in hand the tongue ready to give a lashing.  We forget everybody has the right to an opinion and some voice it courageously. Even stars are humans they are doing a job, like we experiment at work by switching fields-career change, a model jumps to movies, if she/he is good they get accolades, if not eggs & tomatoes, part of the game. Similarly asking a sports person why he/she is so open about emotions on the field, I think is absurd. Bhaiya, my tears of joy, over World Cup 2011, would have solved all water problems. I was home imagine those in the stadium and then the guys who actually made it possible. Tik hai , kabhi kabar, restraint is good. If controlling emotions isn't somebody's strength, that is no cause to hate them.  Why do we judge? It comes so easily. Do we like it when somebody judges us, NO.  Expecting perfection only because they are stars is in itself an"Uthopian expectation".




Actually everybody is opinionated, but only few have the courage to speak it out, or hear it out. 


PS: Message to the Love2HateU crew, keep it coming always.
