Why do we focus more on an actor’s personal life than their work?
Recently I made a post about Piyush Ranade’s work, but most of the comments shifted towards his personal life (like his marriages) or calling it PR, instead of discussing his performances.
Genuine question—why does this happen so often?
Is it:
easier to judge personal choices than critique acting?
or are we more interested in off-screen drama than on-screen work?
or has ‘PR’ become a default tag whenever someone posts something positive?
Not defending or criticizing—just trying to understand why discussions move away from the actual craft so quickly.
