P-R-I-V-A-C-Y


    I happen to read Amitabh bachan’s 70th birthday celebrations in Internet. Celebrities are made as stars and they always seem to be an amusement to Public. To some extent celebrities do enjoy this status though some prefer to play a low profile in Public events. I thought the way media chased to get a glimpse of aishwarya’s new born daughter was bit childish…Why in the world would they do that when they have so much to cover?

    For media any news on a celebrity (gossip / silly incident like a stomach upset in a shoot / incident on their personal life) will be on the headlines with font size 48 and style as ‘Times new roman’. This will increase the circulation of the copies and hence spawn more revenue for that particular media. Entertainment in this modern era is necessary and film stars endow with ample entertainment through their movies. People read weekly magazines for time pass and even have that as one of their hobbies which is completely fine, but the very same medium should not divert the minds of the people by having something non factual just for the sake of publicity. It will bring down the credibility of the author and the respective magazine.

    After marrying a doctor I came to know that it is a common trend for ladies to add weight once they have delivered a baby. Aishwarya rai was no exception and after all she was a human being and has to undergo laws of nature. She was plump and the way media went overboard with her physique made people like me feel sorry for the actress. Why would the world worry about her physique? Does she not know to take care of herself …I saw the actress making maximum effort to hide her baby from the shutterbugs. It clearly shows she is not willing to divulge the photograph of her baby to public yet. I am also wondering how Mr.Rajinikanth managed not to reveal photographs of his daughters till they reached a point where they had to come to Public stage. But anyway Privacy got to be given its due respect and media has to understand.
