Fans Applaud Lakshya: Is This the New Standard?

The success of The Ba**ds of Bollywood has made Lakshya a talking point. After the show’s popularity, he posted a thank you video for fans. What stood out was his choice to deliver the heartfelt message entirely in Hindi.

Viewers praised his humility and effort, but many were shocked that speaking Hindi itself became newsworthy. The reaction revealed how low expectations have become in Bollywood, where actors are rarely seen addressing fans in their own language.

Fans pointed out that most new-age stars, especially star kids, avoid pure Hindi in interviews or public speeches. This trend has created distance between Bollywood and its audience, who feel disconnected from stars seen as overly dependent on English.

The debate highlights how unusual it has become for actors to use Hindi naturally, despite it being the medium of Indian cinema. For many, it feels strange and even shameful that Lakshya received hype simply for speaking in the language of his audience.
