Every now and then, we come across some stars make humiliating comments on cine journos attributing them that they live on the news and gossips of actors. Youth Crazy Star Vijay Deverakonda too joined that bandwagon. While retorting to a website's articles against him, he made a generalized statement that cine journalists live on actors. This is highly offensive statement that surely hurts the egos of cine journos. Hence is this article, 'Actors Vs Cine Journos: Who Live on Whom?'
Before going to make an analysis on the statement above, let's discuss a point on 'Actors Live on Audience/People' which often is made inserted by some cine journos who develop hatred on film stars. They must remember a point that audience/people never donate money to the actors. The actors exhibit their extreme talents and win the love of audience. In return, audience give money for the sake of great entertainment offered by the actors. All in all, 'Actors Live on Audience' is an absurd, ruthless and childish statement.
Let's come to the main point now. Actors Vs Cine Journos: Who Live on Whom? The simplified answer should be, 'Both of them live on mutual coordination'. Checkout some crucial points mentioned below.
* Cine magazines have decades of history. Many magazines of India like Filmfare, Screen etc. have been published for many decades. Telugu cine magazines also have decades of history. About 80 years ago, there was a magazine named 'Kinima' which criticised then actors.
* Unless there were photo shoots, interviews, cover pages and articles published by cine magazines, no actor could make a debut to Tollywood. Who depends on whom here? And the tradition is continued even today with the adopted technology in the form of websites and other online sources.
* Once an actor gets a star status, he may feel he doesn't need media's publicity. But then, budding actors and actresses know the value of cine media.
* Even 100s of immature articles won't affect the prospects of any actor. But an article from a right journo has a power of a Hydrogen bomb in terms of building up/ruining the career of any actor.
* Actors should understand the fact that cine journos are also doing a profession like them. For actors, audience are the sources. Likewise, for cine journos actors are the sources.
* Guess, if the boss of a factory and manager of a company feel their subordinates just live on their generosity. How ridiculous it is? What happens if all the workers and employees raise a strong revolt? How many companies would shutdown?
BOTTOM-LINE: Hence, dear Vijay Deverakonda or any star of equal mindsets! Learn yourselves there is no one in the world who lives independently without the help/cooperation/contribution of another person.
