Changing celebrity status of Young India

Around 50-60 years ago, our celebrities used to be eminent personalities like Mahatma Gandhi Jawaharlal Nehru, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Subhash Chandra Bose etc; all those who wanted to do and die for India. But today our celebrities are Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai etc. This shows how our moral values are changing. Everyone wants to be a film star and no one wants to be a patriot. Why?

I don’t understand why we Young India gives so much of importance to those people who charge crores of rupees just for acting in a film and are equally good as a street drama artist. Why don’t we pay attention to what is happening to our country? Everyone just wants to enjoy. No one is concerned about news related to our national security and other important matters. We don’t like to see our soldiers instead we very happily turn on tv to see our favorite movies and actor or actress.

I ask you young India, what these actor and actresses have done for you that you are so crazy about them. You would hardly remember the name of a single martyr of kargil war but you know at least 100 names of movie stars. This shows the lack of conscience and knowledge and lack of sincerity.

Young India is not accepting the facts; is not buying reality. We chase fake dreams. If I were at your place I would have never given such a great importance to these movies stars. I would treat them as mere entertainers who charge money for what they do, that’s it. They are not Young India icons. They are not worth getting crores of rupees. They are worth getting the same amount as a laborer gets, just few thousand bucks for working 24 hours a day.
