Tillotama Shome Tells People To Stop Praising Actors For Doing The Bare Minimum, Internet Agrees With Her!
She is speaking facts!
In a world where actors and cricketers are often elevated to god-like status in India, the norms of praise seem to have taken an interesting turn. Tillotama Shome recently took to Twitter to share her perspective on the trend of applauding actors for the seemingly mundane acts of punctuality and outfit recycling.
Remember that annoying trend of heaping high praise for actors who came to work on time? Now, we are being praised for repeating the same outfit more than once.
Both are expected norms and not a sign of incredible greatness or sustainability.— Tillotama Shome (@TillotamaShome) February 1, 2024

The sentiment echoed by many users was that society seems to have shifted its focus from recognizing genuine achievements to applauding routine actions. One user remarked, “Societies have shelved recognition and appreciation of genuine achievements and contributions.” This perspective reflects a growing discontent with the overemphasis on superficial gestures. In a chorus of support, another user cheered Tillotama with a simple yet emphatic, “You go girl! Yes, it is extremely annoying!” This response resonated with those who share Tillotama’s view that praising individuals for meeting basic expectations diminishes the value of genuine accomplishments.

Adding to the discussion, one user delved into the rarity of basic qualities in individuals, noting that the scarcity of traits like punctuality and frugality may be why they are perceived as heavy virtues.
Mabbe, RARITY of basic qualities in individuals make these (punctuality and frugality) look like real heavy VIRTUES..
