"I have pretty thick
skin, and I think if you're going to be in this business if you're going to be
an actor or a writer, you better have a thick skin.” ―John Irving
For more than a moth, the
social media in India is bombarded with loads of negativity and spreading venom
among others especially after the death of Indian actor, Sushant Singh Rajput.
Celebrities must not wash
their dirty linen in public places. They must exercise restraint. They must not
use social media for short-term fame or settle their personal scores in public
places. They must note that everyone has a hidden story.
Democracy gives freedom of
expression but there is a method to express opinions or disagree or criticize
others. Taking advantage of the dead actor does no good for them or others.
They must care for the struggling actors and prevent them from going to the Sushant
Rajput way.
Celebrities must stop
mud-slinging. This world is meant for thick-skinned people. The aspiring actors
or struggling stars must explore opportunities instead of blaming others. They
must have the steel of nerves to become a celebrity. There is no free lunch in
this world. Everything comes at a price. When things go well, anyone can be at
the helm whereas when things go wrong the real potential and leadership come to
the fore. Therefore, aspiring actors must improve their mindset. They must stop
blaming or scapegoating others. They must be part of the solution, not the
problem. They must stop taking advantage of dead people and stop playing
politics on dead people.
The so-called outsiders
will become insiders one day when they prove and establish themselves. After they
become insiders they are likely to promote their children in the same
profession. The nepotism and favoritism exist in all areas and especially in
India. Remember, talent gets recognized ultimately. The cream is meant for
coming up. This is the universal truth. The audience will identify the talent
and support them. When you look at Kangana Ranaut, she is a talented actress
who rose in the Bollywood with her own potential and performance despite odds
that were stacked against her. She is a self-made actress and an inspiration
for other aspiring actors and actresses.
Life is very short and let
us make it sweet. We have come to this world for a short duration. Therefore, let
us make it pleasant for ourselves and others. It helps us depart from this
world without any regrets on the death-bed. Fame is shortlisted. The fresh
water will always replace the old water. New talent will replace old talent. It
is the law of nature. Let us understand these facts and live our lives with dignity
and honor.
Share if you care!
Life is great!
