Why the Out[4] and Out[2] are quite different? The eq is a sample and has
got no deep meaning.
In[1]:= eq = p1[x] + I p2[x] + Sin[p1[x] - I p2[x]]
Out[1]= p1[x] + I p2[x] + Sin[p1[x] - I p2[x]]
In[2]:= Re[eq] // ComplexExpand
Out[2]= p1[x] + Cosh[p2[x]] Sin[p1[x]]
In[3]:= eq /. {p1 -> Subscript[p, 1], p2 -> Subscript[p, 2]}
Out[3]= Sin[Subscript[p, 1][x] - I Subscript[p, 2][x]] + Subscript[p, 1][x]
+ I Subscript[p, 2][x]
In[4]:= Re[ eq /. {p1 -> Subscript[p, 1], p2 -> Subscript[p, 2]}] //
ComplexExpand
Out[4]= -Im[Subscript[p, 2][x]] + Re[Subscript[p, 1][x]] +
Cosh[Im[Subscript[p, 1][x]] - Re[Subscript[p, 2][x]]] Sin[Im[Subscript[p,
2][x]] + Re[Subscript[p, 1][x]]]
