'Superstardom' - As heavy-weight the word sounds, its effect is as powerful, life-changing and sometimes even destructive.
Friday figures change the fate of stars, and with it, their stardom. In a country as star-struck as this, stars are given Kingly and Godly statuses, at the same time, the fear of being dethroned and stripped of superpowers, can leave a star at the brink of breakdown. On one hand, we have the superstar of the millennium, Big B, who has gloriously ruled for decades - with utmost dignity and grace. There's Shah Rukh Khan, who lives life king-size despite hits and flops. With sheer royalty, only like a King truly would. On the other hand, we have stars who have failed to live up to their stardom and succumbed to the darker side of fame. This week, Bollywood Big Story debates: Stardom Ke Side Effects. What is the baggage that comes with stardom? The shocking side-effects and its impact on the industry.
Vidya Balan "I enjoy that people want to know about me. This is what I've worked for. It's part and parcel of stardom and I like it."
Kajol "When you're a star, you're expected to be inhuman - one who doesn't get angry, doesn't feel unhappiness, and doesn't feel insulted or worried."
Ajay Devgn "The best part of being a star is you can get away with anything. And the worst part is, there are few things you absolutely can't get away with."
Priyanka Chopra "Being a star is a life-altering change. You have to get used to the constant attention from paparazzi. Even my family took some time to handle it."
Ranveer Singh "This stardom and extra bhaav is superficial. All that matters is the work you do."
