Bachan the reporter!!!

Why do you want to be a celebrity? There can be many but the top two would be Money & Publicity. Imagine you have achieved it, how would it feel after that? Ask The Bachan's who have enormous amount of the above said two. Bachan's are not any more an actor family but a brand that not only sells Bollywood or Products anymore but promotes India as a country worldwide. But what have we done for this family and many more such families in this country is injustice in my view. In our curiosity to know more about these celebrities we have many a times breached their democratic rights, privacy and basic human rights and caused a lot of damage to their private&public life. I wouldn't blame the media directly coz they deliver what we like the most. It started initially that way and today's media went far beyond our tastes and deliver total nonsense about every celebrity out there and more about the Bachan's coz they are the most popular. 

I have always wondered how would it be to wake up as Abishek? I would be wearing silk pyjamas, Miss World serving bed coffee, jacuzzi for bath, private beautician for make-up, personal assistant waiting with the days schedule, Rolls Royce Phantom on the porch waiting........ wow luxury to the core isnt it? but have you ever wondered what would it be like having all this always in a closed room and any small gap in it will be stuck with a camera to watch........ man that will become living hell..... In this world there are two types of celebrities 1. love media to reach people 2. love people directly minus media...... Category 1 need not be explained since truth will be as little as a mustard...... Category 2 are the ones who will have an exchange of direct love between them and their fans but not always covered in the media that would reflect their original thoughts. I have seen many Bachan interviews in the last 5 years and he only sounded reluctant, egoistic, careless in them and most of all answered the questions blunt. I thought why should he go on air with so much hatred and thought he is not a people loving/friendly guy until I started following his blog. I could now relate with him to understand how tough it is to be a celebrity and how important it is for him to become a reporter on his own to bring out the real him to the world. I was totally moved to learn how he acted as a loving father to call his soon not to return back until things became normal, how human he was to prepare with torch and rain water if there is a power cut. All we hear is he getting furious on Aishwarya or the rift with her family and his which we do not know is true or not but obviously enthused by it. I would ask you to once video tape a quarrel between your mother and wife and post it on youtube, I would ask you to record your bed time conversations with your wife and youtube it to the world. See and Hear it yourself over and over again and see how people react to it and thats how it will be for them. So the next time you hear a rumor, a gossip about a celebrity pity for them, be concerned about their privacy and tell the media you hate it. This will not only help us get better but will help Bachan to spend more time on his acting and not become a reporter for himself. But Mr.Bachan I do not will if it will happen but if it does don't stop your blog coz that will tutor a lot of young bloggers like us.
