I am Angry Mad 😡 feeling Old accidentally Waiting 18 Years too Long to Ask this Question:

Actors Ajay, Akshay, Tusshar are From Khakee & Insan.

how Can Akshay & Tusshar get Along with Ajay during Insan (since Ajay’s goons Kiled Akshay during Khakee)?(73.90.160.122 (talk) 00:18, 2 May 2023 (UTC)).[reply]

Links: Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tusshar Kapoor, Khakee, Insan. If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that actors and their roles are not the same. For example, Akshay (unlike Shekhar Verma) seems to be still alive. The actors who portray mortal enemies are often best friends. —Tamfang (talk) 01:52, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As my granny used to say when children confused actors with their roles, "They all go home and have their dinners afterwards." See, for example, the 'Real Life' section in the TV Tropes entry Actor/Role Confusion {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.213.18.208 (talk) 12:19, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actors within a given project don't always get along, but not particularly anything to do with the roles they're playing. For a film or play to work, the actors have to at least be professional and not let their friendship (or lack thereof) show. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:28, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is That word Oh yeah What about “Conflict of Interest” how Can Everyone forget About Khakee as If Nothing Happened between Ajay & Akshay I want To talk To Them?(2601:201:C000:26C0:E053:4F74:AA58:CBF2 (talk) 03:38, 3 May 2023 (UTC)).[reply]

Sigh. Okay, we'll go through this one more time. The film Insan is not a sequel to the film Khakee. Their two stories are not connected and no fictional characters in Khakee appear in Insan, so there cannot be any bad feelings in the fictional story of Insan that continue from the fictional story of Khakee.

The actors who portray the fictional characters in the two films do not really do any of the things shown, and do not have the feelings that they pretend to have on screen – it's all Fiction. As soon as the cameras stop rolling, the actors Akshay, Tusshar and Ajay probably sit down together, chat, have lunch etc. They are professional acting colleages, who probably like each other (though it wouldn't matter if they didn't) – their real-life feelings are nothing to do with the fictional feelings of the fictional characters they pretend to be in front of the cameras.

If you have difficulty understanding this (and I am assuming good faith, just) then you do not understand how the World, Fiction and Filming work. Perhaps you will when you are older; I certainly hope so. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.213.18.208 (talk) 06:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quality of grid in cryptic crosswords

In this interview with a crossword setter, one of his early efforts is described as “the grid’s awful but the clues are good”. What constitutes an "awful grid"? Is it just a lack of 'checked' letters, as implied by the last paragraph of Cryptic_crossword#Grids_for_cryptic_crosswords, or is there more to it than that? AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 13:53, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The thing that seems strikingly bad to me in the grid is that so many of the unchecked letters are in consecutive groups of two or three. That'll make it kind of hard on the solver. --174.89.12.187 (talk) 06:47, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, yes. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 08:41, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
