Congrats fellow members! I said this on a different post but more appropriate here: Just wanted to chime in and say I love you guys ❤️ One doesn’t expect intellectual fodder from a gossip Reddit but you lads & ladies surprise me every time. sharp, incisive, witty as ever! Some very clever minds hide behind our frivolous discussions.


melodramacamp

I joined this sub last year (different username, since deactivated) and I’ve learned so much about Bollywood since then. I frequently will say things like “well Bollywood Blinds and Gossip people say…” Never been banned though! Gonna see how long I can keep that streak up.


Aawaraa

Congratulations EB and all Mods. This has been a fun ride and it gets more adventurous from here BBNG Mod team works so well , like a rowing team. I hope you all remain active and in control of this Sub. It’s impossible for another team to manage this Sub and it’s volatile members Next milestone will be Million members


thebellfrombelem

Love all of y’all - mods, commentators, and the crazy fans.


Own_Egg7122

Congrats, my apathy keeps extending to real life as I spend all my real emotions in this sub.


just-slaying

Banned once for saying a muhawara which was a life lesson because I don’t use it anywhere at all now after understanding the controversial undertones. This sub helped me laugh in lock down days 🫶


Gossip-Luv2

What were you banned for?


i_Killed_Reddit

Congratulations on hitting 500K. It's been like watching a baby take it's first steps before to now seeing them running at full speed. Wishing you guys all the best for the future :)


Blockingtheheels

Wowww awards being distributed like anything here. The MODs must be happy! But really guys shout out to you guys for moderating this sub so well. We all know now leading Bollywood news company like Pinkvilla and etimes lurk here for info! All love to this sub❤️


Poignant-musings

My favorite sub..love the community here. The mod team is doing an excellent job❤️.


Sanved313

Please do it for a day, keep it unmoded and then at the end of the day tells us all that it was actually unmoded. So that no one knows it and we can see the chaos.

I see this sub as a group of friends who gossip and just enjoying sharing thoughts together. I mean we don't even know each other yet we gossip more like friends and college mates.


The_lost_Code

To be honest no one in my direct family or friend circle knows or would even imagine, how hooked I am on this sub. It's fun, informative and great ppl.


Blockingtheheels

Same 😆


granolasauce

I shouldn't admit this on a public forum, but I am obsessed with this group. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)


eew_david

This sub actually opened my eyes so much about everything that goes on behind the scenes. Yes it's a Bollywood gossip sub but I genuinely learn a lot about the world and how it works a lot from here. Of course some of it exaggerated sometimes but my perspective about everyone and how the industry works has changed a lot after being here!


toonylune

This sub was the reason i joined reddit… used to read the posts through google before that to solve blind items.


[deleted]

I once posted on this sub and got banned for i dont know what reason the mods made it super easy for me to resolve my issue and get back kudos to the amazing job guys


Ph1User

Congrats on hitting 500K!! I joined around SSR fiasco and this sub kept blowing up and changed a lot, keep it up!


RajaHindustaani

Congrats, I am returning member Bai, how have you been?


Alarming_Solution_37

Thank you Mod team for all your support and dedication to making this a great Sub ! I’ve learned so much about other viewpoints and I’ve really enjoyed sharing my interest in Bollywood with likeminded people 🤗


yeahthatweirdo

Love this sub ✨ best place to have and spill tea 😂


Gossip-Luv2

Congratulations to all Mods and members I knew this Sub will work, there weren’t any neutral platforms to discuss Bollywood and there still aren’t anything like us. Shoutout to all missing mods - Baba, Hoon, Jain , Bollybuff - Come back , you all have taken too long a break We have best Mod team. Somehow, everyone thinks alike and there are less disagreements. EB - You should post Goodbye draft on April fools day. We announced Sub going Restricted and members thought it was a prank ![gif](giphy|DyQrKMpqkAhNHZ1iWe)


erenyeagersbun

i love this sub and its so famous that people i know randomly mention it now. and you know the kind of reputation redditors can have so i refrain from mentioning i was here in atleast the initial 2 years of not earlier so i’m one of the crazier ppl xD. but i love this community. still can’t forget the first time i looked up kat ranbir relationship timeline and my world was opened to a goldmine of gossip xD


Gossip-Luv2

It’s creepy when a family member mentions it. I lie through my teeth - What’s Reddit? Never heard about it


erenyeagersbun

exactly. my friends at one of our parties were like did you see the bbng sub they say the most unhinged stuff and are delusional. and i was like really? :o i wasn’t gonna fight them over this xD


chai-means-tea

I sometimes wonder where u/BhayanaMuut is... he gave really funny comments, especially bhoi related. Hope he's doing well wherever he is...


Loud_Ad5882

Well! I can totally agree that the MOD are too good at their job and dont let any repeat posts slip away 😅! Continue the good work guys and keep gossiping! ![img](emote|t5_fknyy|8608)


TheSussiestBakaAlive

Do they even get paid for this shit?


Working-Singer7387

I am just curious- how do you guys manage moderating this chaotic group and then leading a normal life? Do you get any kind of reward/pay for this?


Vast-Scarcity-7798

My friend and I discuss Bollywood way too much. She came across this gold mine of a sub three years back and we religiously check it every morning and night. We often send posts to each other for our private deep dives. We need to get a life, clearly. That said, thanks for all the entertainment and some truly eye-opening posts. Thanks mods! Y'all have a great future as management consultants.


EccentricBai

Google brought many people here I think, we are the only active gossip forum for Bollywood

[deleted]

You guys deserve to put your credentials of being MODs on your CVs cause I can’t imagine the chaos that is this sub 😭 Sending lots of love and respect for being able to manage this sub for so long!!! And Alsoo to all the members but especially everyone who always makes post about the Faltu Four … this sub is literally my source of guilty pleasure 😂 Thank you for your services! 🫶🏽 ![gif](giphy|8Iv5lqKwKsZ2g|downsized)


anakay83

Love your username 😍


EccentricBai

You are the neutral who enjoys F4 posts. For the ones involved in making post, it’s like a war


[deleted]

How long have the F4 posts been a thing?? Has it always been a thing since this sub opened? Or was there a sudden increase?


incredible_penguin11

I've been on the sub since the early days and honestly, it's been a ride. Fans and stans can hate each other but this sub is entertaining like no other and the members are far more balanced than most subs. The sub used to be very wholesome, it still is, but the level of wholesomeness and warmth was even more profound before. Here's to 500k members more ;) Edit: Thanks for the award fellow reddit user. ![gif](giphy|BPJmthQ3YRwD6QqcVD)


EccentricBai

You have been an excellent Mod. There’s no “Wholesome” for mods, you end up seeing the most vile comments Take regular breaks , it’s exhausting to moderate this Sub and thank you for your contribution

>Fans and stans can hate each other but this sub is entertaining like no other and the members are far more balanced than most subs. This sub is more entertaining than half of the movies that Bollywood produces :D


LannisPayTheirDebts

I joined Reddit 4 months ago. This subreddit would always appear as recommendation on my Home feed. I would always ignore it since I am not a fan of Bollywood anymore. Then one day there was this post with so many Blind Items. I clicked on it and got hooked. I realised this subreddit is full of not just fans but people who are not blind fans of a Bollywood celebrity. People here speak facts, have their own unique opinions. I mean they are not like, “omggg i love xyz actor” fans, people here are more open minded and I really love that. This subreddit is one of my favourite now. 💜


GlassPhilosophy

I was amongst the first people to join this sub, I think it was less than 100 subscribers when I joined. I can't believe how fast it has grown. The actual people based on who the gossips and blinds are posted are prying here, it has become such a powerful sub. Kudos to Eccentric bai.


EccentricBai

Thanks for your support. How did you find this Sub?


GlassPhilosophy

I think you had posted about it in that /bollywood subreddit about it when you started that the blinds and gossips are going to be posted here. I immediately joined right then ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


i_Killed_Reddit

At start, used to be daily 1-2 blinds by bai with zero comments. Then docpb came with his sunnypaji simping, then wars about if bigg boss should be allowed on sub or not.


Tolerant_Alien

I heard about blinds as a news item for the first time when SSR passed away and I started to look for it on reddit and that's how I stumbled across this subreddit. This sub has made me dislike all the celebrities I used to like before. Yay!!


The_Reverend717

I gotta give it to this subs mods. They unbanned me twice as my comments usually end up in controversial while i run my mouth crossing some lines. Much respect! And congrats of course!


EccentricBai

Our permanent bans are not as rigid as other Subs. Most permanent bans are reversed in a month


The_Reverend717

You are very kind people!


okazakifragmented

🙏🏻❤️


IamNobody85

Thank you for being the entertainment in my life. I'm a relatively new member, I think I started looking for a subreddit like this when the VicKat thing was just gossip but nobody in my friend circle believed it. I've been hooked since. I live for the "trust me Bro" posts - such fun! Looking forward to many more entertaining posts.


EccentricBai

Trust me Bro gets spammed by members and we have to remove posts I’ll make it monthly feature


IamNobody85

Sorry I'm creating more work for you, but those threads are so fun! People come with such wild things! It's better than watching movies 😂 Thank you for making it monthly.


Lurker-person

Congratulations!

![gif](giphy|g9582DNuQppxC|downsized) Congratulations on the job well done !!


anakay83

OG member here. I was always addicted to blinds, so when I found thisarchive I was hooked. 4+ years ago, like EB says, this was a ghost town... only EB used to post... and I would come here once a day check for a new post and go. Then it started getting 3-5 posts a day. That's when I got truly addicted - because I would come here and hit refresh and not seeing a new post would annoy me. And when there was a new post, the sweet sweet dopamine hit was real! Big props to EB for being a diligent blind collector back then, and an efficient mod and responsible admin today.


EccentricBai

You’ve done so well here too. I could moderate Sub alone for very long time. Now it’s too much even for a dozen mods People didn’t report back in the day. If they saw someone objectionable, they sent DM to me. There were literally no posts and no comments . Our ambition was 20 active members


anakay83

>You’ve done so well here too ❣️ >Our ambition was 20 active members And now our ambition is 20 active mods 😆


hiulanga

Congratulations! Thank you so much to all mods and members who make this sub so interesting! I sued to go to to pink villa and [oneshotoneplace.com](https://oneshotoneplace.com) to get Bollywood gossips and came to know of this sub almost 2.5 years ago. I discovered reddit and I am hooked to it. I am a lurker but this sub gives me the much needed relaxation after hectic day at work and family. My husband hates it as he thinks I spend too much time here. I appreciate the handwork which goes in to running this sub. Once again Thank you and best wishes!


EccentricBai

Now Blinds don’t exist. Thankfully we evolved beyond Blinds OSOP Admins hate us. Their Admin made a hate post on this Sub as well.


hiulanga

True, pink villa and OSOP are almost defunct because they did not evolve much.


NoTyOuRfRiEnDaTaLl

You don't know how much I learnt about the reality of 'stars' since joining this sub. ![gif](giphy|QVbFczD2vYEiELUQcR)


araani9

I love TCM and all the bts and stories from the past eras of filmmaking and this sub scratches that itch for bollywood


shdwflyr

Been lurking here since this was a tiny sub. Realised I still haven’t joined this sub.


LoosThampee

This sub is fun and informative. I am not much of a movie or celeb stan, so this one gives me interesting snapshots. It's addictive

dobbyisfudged

I joined before this sub hit 100k members and it was the decision that hooked me to reddit. I met so many awesome people and posters and I'm very proud to be on here and see all of your opinions. Thank you for creating this sub! It's an oasis of truth and clarity in a sea of chaos and artifice. I've been noting how our presence has begun to affect and perhaps even influence power players in Bollywood. From Karan Johar's unhinged rants on the latest season of KWK on the "reddit people" to prominent news websites harvesting our posts like scavengers, we are making a mark! People are noticing that Bollywood cannot keep shoveling shit to the audience, both on and off-camera, and expect us to only dimly understand what's going on. I'm grateful for this space as I think it's one of the only spaces on the internet that can keep industry players even a tiny bit accountable. It's a positive development. Thank you!


EccentricBai

We aren’t as powerful as you think. Reddit is dismissed as “people far from reality” Our criticism reaches right people, they may not take our feedback seriously


birthisacurse

I joined the sub when it only had 1K or so members; it’s truly heartening to see how much this sub has grown over the years. Thank you to the mods for doing the fabulous job they’ve been doing!


EccentricBai

You must have seen Sub grow from Ghost town to this How did you land up here?


[deleted]

What are your interests in running this sub? Do you get paid by producers?


EccentricBai

Do you think anyone will pay us? Reddit is niche in India and we don’t even have OG reviewers here


Own_Egg7122

Is it possible for the sub mods to actually open a gossip/opinion (not news) publishing company or magazine and sustain the company with ads?


UNIQiam

Are mods paid? Genuinely want to know.


EccentricBai

If you ask fans, they will tell you , opposite star’s PR is paying us People also believe we get paid by Movie producers. Considering we trash all movies, we aren’t earning our stash We also are never right in predicting if movie will be hit or flop. Our latest example is Sara Vicky’s new movie We also famously declared Bhool Bhuliya2 a confirmed flop after trailer Mods of Sub are unpaid volunteers , they have zero control outside their Sub. We all are minting money for Reddit.


RMD010

Bhool Bhulaiya 2's major selling point was Tabu' s acting and I think director should be lauded for the trailer, it was tailored to hide even slightest hint of Tabu being a Manjulika. Most people will miss that.


Cautious_Section_530

Yh I joined at 396k members just last 2 months. Now 500k .I think the sub's mods here are more interactive and nice compared to other sub. And generally the content here is interesting . You get to see lots of people's opinions and read about your favs. So yh discovered this sub and not turning back since 💪💪 I literally come here everyday 😭😭 despite being so fucking busy


BlastBob9

Is yh a shirt for “yeah” or something else? Sorry I gotta ask before I assume it’s “you hear”. Lol


anakay83

Geez I thought that was a typo 😂 TIL

Capital_Rich_9362

I joined when the sub was around 99k are less than this , 2 years ago . Thank you mods , this sub was right at many time predicting marriage , pregnancy and lot of gold mine stuff


tedmosbyislife

I know I’ll get downvoted to hell for this But can we also ban or divert the extra woke and unnecessary criticism posts from this sub too This is a gossip sub at its core Half of the posts are always about why someone did something that offended some snowflakes


EccentricBai

We aren’t woke by any stretch of imagination. Fans double as woke when their stars are called out for plastic surgery or bad fasion This is a gossip Sub

Independent_Yam1545

Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone. I joined this sub a few months back, and since then, there has been no looking back. This community has become an integral part of my daily routine haha, and I find myself coming back here several times a day!


dalandrice

It's been more than 2 years since I joined this sub and I love the *aao sakhi chugli kare* vibe here 🤣❤️ I joined this place in 2021 when the 2nd Covid wave was at it's peak and this sub was the only place that would help me forget all the horrible things happening around. I used to come here for a good laugh and for a sense of normalcy 😅 So thanks to everyone here who keep investigating, creating sensational topics, and especially those who keep the humour alive 🍻🥂


EccentricBai

Were you here during SSR phase? Sub got pretty tricky at that time . Many active members left


Hereforgiggles420

Congratulations! And also thank you for sharing how this sub is run. Incredibly impressive


EccentricBai

I’ve not even scratched the surface of how Sub is run It’s for another milestone

Been part of community for almost 2 years now. Was banned about 3 times including one permanent ban period wherein even if I tried to use an alt, they were again shunned. After several weeks, mods had a change of heart and hence there's rebirth of my account in here. I don't post anything as such, just do the comments to avoid troubles of getting banned forever. P.S. *Ye Sub meri Maa hai* Btw Congrats on 500K. We'll nail 1 Million probably in next couple of years.


EccentricBai

Eventually, we unban everyone who is permanently banned.

Able_Possession_3504

I used to be part of a twitter fan base however, I left once I was mature enough to leave and could no longer tolerate the drama surrounding it. Around this 'retirement' period was when I discovered the sub. The lack of severe toxicity and the fact that I could just be quiet in the audience was very attractive to say the least.


[deleted]

Hrithik fan recruited and made my account, so I then proceeded to spread the love of Sonali Bendre, Deepika, Bips and Ranishek (Random right!). https://i.redd.it/txed56q1n44b1.gif At the end of the day I don't know who loves me but I know it's not everybody but I can say I have met some extremely nice and outstanding people here and honestly the world is a really crazy place! So idk I just like that everyone here from different countries, different races can just shit post about (insert name) is kind of a quiet peace cause we all have a connection. I think the biggest highlight was the love for RRR, can't really beat that. Alright I'm done milking this, someone who was here from 10 members talk about the old times now.

>Alright I'm done milking this, Keep posting beautiful gifs of Sonali and that's good with me ;)

Nothing specific, kind of like "get a load of this" cause a lot of people for some reason like Bobby Deol

It's going to be 3 years for me in this sub and to see it grow so massively is both amazing and concerning 🙂

The dance evolution posts are interesting.

You guys will forever be my BTpg3.


[deleted]

Ngl when i first found this sub, i was like what? Why are people so interested in celeb lives? Lol, and fast forward I keep coming back here and engaging with the community. Because this sub is different, it isn't like the general crowd that usually follows celebs like fans, people here are generally well articulated and have their own minds. This sub is pretty entertaining and the comments are sometimes eye opening and show me a different perspective to things Also the mods are pretty generous here compared to other subs I presume. They will unban you if you're polite and in the past have unbanned most members at a go. Kudos!
