Actress Kajol, who would soon be seen in the Netflix film 'Do Patti', said at a recent chat session that the concept of stardom is dead today and a major cause for it has been the advent of social media. The actress made the remarks at a chat session with Indian Express where she was asked about her opinion on the relevance of superstardom in this day and age.
“Stardom is already dead, the idea is gone now, not because there aren’t stars or talented people anymore. The advent of social media was a huge switch. Stardom was such a charm, a star was like the forbidden fruit that wasn’t seen anywhere, and if you wanted to see them then it was only on the big screen or buy that videotape and make that little bit of an extra effort to see these people who you loved so much. That extra effort you put in, if it’s suddenly available to you on your phone at the touch of a finger… It’s like familiarity breeds contempt, not to that extent, but yes, a huge part of it,” she said.
“That’s why I say, if there is so much of it, it’s not that special anymore. I mean that, because I am on social media as well, so I include myself in that bracket too," She added. The actress will be next seen in 'Maharagni', and 'Sarzameen'. She was last seen in a segment of the anthology 'Lust Stories 2' on Netflix India.
