Celebrity Stardom and Virtual cat fights…
2008
Unfortunately, I stumbled upon Amitabh Bachchan’s blog today while doing some search on google. and out of curosity, ended up spending some time on his posts…
It was actually ridiculous to find how Amitabh has reacted and ended up having a virtual quarrel with a guy over some kind of charity done by Amitabh. Whereas, this guy reminded amitabh of his duties towards the society, and his role being a celebrity, Amitabh went on explaning his acts of charity even by mentioning dates and amounts and bank accounts and locations..
I had always learnt from my elders when they used to say “Neki kar dariya mein dal” (do the act of charity without any mention and forget about it). But Seems like Amitabh is agitated that there is no publicity done for his charity work. It seemed by his posts that he was desparate to prove that he is the best citizen of this country.
This guy who asked questions to amitabh through his comments on Amitabh’s posts, seemed like that it infuriated Amitabh and Amitabh vent out his anger on this guy by one whole post blasting him here and there mentioning his charity works. and then, goes on , in the next post, posting his transaction details about charity.
And I always used to think that wisdom comes to a man by age… but Amitabh seems to be proving it opposite. He seems to prove that “Neki kar aur media mein dal” (do the act of small charity and get it published to the whole world). May be, that’s why they call it “sathiyana” in hindi (going crazy after the age of sixty
).
I am not trying to analyze any behavior of any celebrity or their reactions but then, I always think charity gets its true meaning when you do it from your heart and not for publicity or media pressure…
Anyway, its Amitabh’s life and he knows well how to handle it. ofcourse, being a star, he is used to media and publicity and may be that’s why he likes reactions… May be he should try his luck in politics again..
By the way, if these are the norms of charity what Amitabh is doing, then seems that Mother Teresa and Matama Gandhi just did nothing for society because they did the work from the core of their heart and not for any publicity. They sacrificed their lives for people and not just donated few lakhs to get media attention..
Anyway, Carry on the cat fight, Amitabh. It really reflects your persona in reality to the public who think of you in high esteem. It actually depicted that Stars and Stardom is all fake and stars are nothing but publicity hungry
