How much PRIVACY for CELEBRITIES?


So it was basically a few months back when I was just scrolling down my Instagram feed and got to watch a piece of news going around viral about Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh enjoying holidays in Disney Land when one of the curious female fans bumped into them and asked for few clicks. And the fan had to face Deepika's wrath and latter just brushed off her rudely.
Well, this is not for the first time fans have to face the fury of celebrities when the latter feel that their privacy is being encroached upon.
I know and understand that its the basic human right to have privacy and to lead a life on their own terms but when it comes to CELEBRITIES, I am sorry, I beg to differ.
It's sheer due to the fact that once they enter the Entertainment Industry, their lives are no more private, these become public. I am not saying that they don't have a private life, they do, but to get aggressive on your fans, who made you, is not appreciated.
Its a part and parcel of being into this industry. The showbiz or the entertainment business is the most sought after profession as it fetches you with huge wealth as well as tremendous fame. Any person would strive too hard for both of these to go hand in hand and when it comes to the acting profession, this is it. It makes you the public person and fans or media keeps eyeing each and every step of yours. They can make you as well as break you. Whatever success you own is not only the result of your hard work or talent but major portion lies in the hands of fans and media for that matter ( as they are many in the industry enjoying fruits of stardom without having talents as such ).
Every profession has its pros and cons and so does this profession as well. Being in the eyes of media and fans every time is the major cons of this. But ironically, this is also what you require to maintain your position or space in this industry too. Because this industry follows the saying, " Out of sight, Out of mind ".
If I were to take an example, let's talk about the above mentioned, Deepika, who could simply, without any hesitation make her illness ( DEPRESSION ) so public and she was very upfront about it every time she spoke about it in public , then why was she so upset when a fan asked her about a click in her holidays? After all, the fan just behaved as expected as any yet another would have conducted oneself on seeing a celebrity. When she was so vocal and expressive about her low times  (which is actually difficult and perhaps not needed as well ) then why a mere click bothered her so much??
Stardom cannot be enjoyed without fans or media. You ought to give that consideration to them unless and until someone is crossing the line.
Also not to mention, I know there are many times when there are indecent conduct and a sort of discomfort provided by clingy fans. And it thus becomes the need of the hour to take required actions for it and to shun them. But the same kind of treatment shouldn't be rendered to all of them.
Everybody knows how this industry works. People not only make use of their high times but also their low times to gather publicity and to be in the eyes of people so as to remain constant in the industry. Then why to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Celebrities have time and again, themselves broke the wall of privacy between them and common people. They first choose to throw their private lives in the eyes of the public in order to get the limelight and when a fan or common people try to intrude into their lives, then they have a problem.
I am not at all in support of indecency shown by various kinds of fans or against celebrities to have their personal space but it's just that no celebrity should take his/her stardom, success and most importantly their fans for granted as such.

So, in order to expect privacy, a celebrity should first keep his/her life secret. There are many celebrities who very easily balance their personal and public lives. It's not that when you need publicity then only cameras should follow you while elsewhere you enjoy your private times without being captured. Being in public is an integral and perhaps the most important aspect of your stardom and it can be only enjoyed in that very way when your fans applaud and appreciate your talent, your hard work and even your personal lives (sometimes). Every celebrity before entering this industry is well aware of this aspect yet they choose to work here over that, then why after achieving success, they wanna filter things.

So the answer to how much privacy for celebrities ?????????

A CELEBRITY HIMSELF CARVES HIS NICHE OF PRIVACY. HE BREAKS THAT WALL FIRST AND THEN A COMMON MAN. SO THEIR PRIVACY IS ULTIMATELY IS IN THEIR OWN HANDS. YOU CAN'T BE AN OPEN BOOK AND YET EXPECT OTHERS NOT TO READ THROUGH YOUR PAGES...................

  2. Yes I do agree. Peoples who follow u treat u like a God. Whatever wealth u earn, is only due to love of ur folowers. Once u become a God of ur followers, u need to behave like God or otherwise u shed off ur wealth, become a normal human being and no body will bother u. U want wealth and a status of celibrity also but want to line a private life also. Not possible.
