I don’t understand why people exaggerate and expect a lot about film celebrities, especially when considering film stars. After all, they are just actors on the screen, aren’t they? The sole purpose of actors is to keep us entertained [The field that they are very good at], and we in return appreciate their work in the form of whistles, claps, and of course, paying money. That’s more than enough, I guess.
Drab impact of Film Celebrities
I don’t find any genuine reason for these actors to become someone’s role model. At least most of them I have heard is utter bullshit! How can a person get so influenced by a fake character on the screen? The irony is that people’s love towards film celebrities has reached a threshold where they want to look like them, imitate them, dress like them without even knowing that they are in this very process of forgetting who they indeed are. The sad part in this phase is people are losing their uniqueness and original identity.
I am equally clueless as to why people react to a given film celebrity’s ignorance. Rampant Trolling of Alia Bhatt or Anushka Sharma is a classic example. There is no need for them to be good at general knowledge to excel in the glamour industry. It is very similar to expect your friend to write down Maxwell’s equations on paper even though they are just a regular engineering graduate like any one of us. Everyone has their boundaries of knowledge which is relative to one another.
Many people nowadays are interested in finding flaws in the personal lives of these poor film celebrities. Thanks to TRP-hungry News Channels and headlines making print media, nothing is private anymore. It is essential to understand there is no rule for any film celebrity to maintain an ideal personality. I feel everyone has the right to mold their personal life according to one’s interests. People should tone down their obsession with film celebrities. They are just actors, not teachers or scientists or politicians, etc. They don’t control the world.
You can’t give an oscar award to a cricketer. Similarly, you can’t give an Olympic medal to an actor. In my view, every person on this planet should be given importance based on what they are truly capable of in their respective fields. If you want to purchase any product in the market, go for it if you like it, but not because XYZ endorses the product.
The essential thing in any person is their original identity. When you try to become someone else, you lose your inherent uniqueness, join the herd, and become a part of the crowd. You go from something to nothing.
You have a history full of scientists, philosophers, visionaries, biologists, engineers. The choices are unlimited. I don’t ask you NOT to follow film celebrities. I request that though people can have lots of love for film celebrities, it should ideally be only in the spectrum of entertainment.
“Choose your heroes for their virtues and talent, not for their appearances.”
