When everyone else prefers to keep the
followers updated about their whereabouts, Ranbir Kapoor goes against the tide
to maintain his stardom. The Barfi star has always preferred to keep a low
profile and that’s the reason you would not find his official account on any
social networking website. The actor does not like ‘to lose his popularity by
being visible every now and then.’But
isn’t social media a need to keep your fans engaged?Raju Singh, owner of hypez.com answers it very
logically by throwing light on the reality behind curtains. He says, “Social
media is an extremely powerful tool to express ones opinion if used within
limits. For celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, it is essential to maintain a gap
from the fans so as to keep them curious. Being stars of the industry, they
deserve to enjoy the stardom and stardom is majorly about ‘a great deal of
followers longing to find a glimpse of yours’.Well, that seems as if Ranbir is
tracing the footsteps of his father. Rishi Kapoor, the veteran actor mentioned
about his concept of stardom in his autobiography ‘Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor
Uncensored.’ He talks about how he immensely enjoyed the stardom and loved to
see his fans going crazy about him. Also, he admires the way Ranbir justifies
his status and position as a part of film industry. Ranbir Kapoor has been very
bold and daring regarding his career choices. From Barfi-which worked quite
well, to Jagga Jasoos which failed to impress the audience despite a new plot,
every movie had something new to offer. And hardly there was a time when the
actor got affected by the negative criticism from the people. Speaking of the
same, Raju Singh further adds, “his decisions exemplify his bold personality
and an ignorant attitude towards the critics. Even if a decision taken by him
ends up being disastrous, he feels happy about the fact that it was his
personal choice and not a decision taken under the pressure of people’s
expectations. That is another reason because of which he refrains from using
social media.”Nobody knows whose way is better, but undoubtedly Ranbir is a
superstar with a huge fan following.
