Nadigudem police
filed a case against Telugu super star Mahesh Babu following a complaint from
Toomu Sateesh Kumar of Tellapalli village that he was addicted to liquor seeing
the advertisement of Mahesh Babu. The complainant further said he fell ill as a
result he could not attend the interview. The SI said cases have been
registered against the Royal Stag owner and distributor along with Mahesh Babu.
He also said that action would be taken after consulting with the higher
authorities
I wonder
what made this Person
to file a case
and hold
Maheshbabu responsible .Don’t you
think it is stupidity on
his part to
blame so called
celebrity for his mistake
of getting addicted
One reason that we care so much about
celebrities is that we see these stars as idols. Someone to aspire to become,
someone worth emulating . This can be a
good or bad thing, depending on the target of the admiration. The common myth
is that celebrities are rich, they are obviously famous, Celebrities can do or
have anything they want. In many cases they seem to be above the law. Moreover
there are dozens of tabloids that just love to display an un-flattering picture
and story of a celebrity and make them infallible ! and it feels
good to Ape
them .
Of
late Indian Culture is slowly being consumerised by television ads, movies, magazines,
newspapers, tabloids, and latest
addition being Internet which are
filled with products to buy and most of these ads have celebrity images pasted
all over them. People buy products that they have seen celebrities using
on screen or print media.
Millions of Indians keep tabs on the personal lives of at least a
few select celebrities, whether or not they admit it. The average teenager
could recite the personal information of karina kaif better than they could of the local social
worker, But why? Why do we care so much about people that we will most likely
never meet? What keeps Indians hungry
for more celebrity gossip? blindly
following them has
become order of
the day
.., Deep down
most people want the lifestyle of a celebrity because they are rich, beautiful,
and popular and we
need to follow them
at any cost . Because most people mentally develop
with social interaction we seek it in our later life - thus the desire for
popularity and acceptance among our peers and cohorts. Modern day sociologist
calls minors the "sponges of our culture." Most celebrity fixating
begins in the years before adulthood. Sociologists and psychologists now know
that our behaviours are not developed by biological deterministic factors but
by sociological deterministic factors. The sociological deterministic factors
that guide our behaviour originate from one or all of the agents of
socialization: family, school/education, peer/cohort groups, mass media, and
work. The reason why we view celebrities
to a higher standard then an average everyday person is because we are brought
up with that idea placed in our minds as children which then stays in our minds
throughout our later part of our lives .
one such thing
is media glorification to be
blamed which places everything and anything
on celebrity as
breaking news!! .other day I turn on local news channel and they were filled with news on local
film actor airing his
views on his wife and
how he is
planning to ditch her !!. and
you switch on to
other channels again
the same story
is repeated and added
to this a big
panel discussion on this so called breaking
news was underway .I wonder Why does anyone care what goes on in this actors
personal life? They are people like you
and me and they put their pants on one leg at a time
just like everyone else. As Dr Wayne
W dyer in his
famous book your
Erroneous zone
says ‘All of your heroes are people .They itch where
you itch they have bad breath in the
morning just like you ,..and he
goes on to say that All your Heroes or
celebrities are no better then you ,in
any way ,,politicians ,actors ,athletes, rock stars or
whoever are just skilful at what
they do –nothing more None of these
so called celebrities
are any better than anyone else.
They may have a special talent, so it
good for them but everyone else has a special talent too.
We have far too
many problems in our world and important things to address that are newsworthy,
than to be worrying about a celebrity’s short comings. Do I agree with his
behaviour? Absolutely not, but it’s none of my business. Sports figures and
celebs are given way too much clout in our society. If you want to celebrate
their positive achievements and enjoy their work, that’s one thing, but to put
them in the position of being able to decide how you
should lead your life is ridiculous, and it
is also sheer stupidity to blindly
use the products they
endorse whether it is
toothbrush , beer or safety pin .for
all you know a
celebrity endorsing beer
may drink milk
in his real
life !!
let’s quit giving
these people so much power over our lives.
