Invading Celebrities' Personal lives - How Far is too Far?
This morning while going to work, I heard a very important topic being discussed on the radio: “Knowing about celebrity’s personal life: Do Fans have a right to know?” The topic got generated after Rihanna’s recent appearances when she ended the interview after being asked questions about her personal life -------------------- This is nothing new for bollywood, most of the Bollywood stars are the same. They choose not to answer such questions but instead of getting angry at reporters, shouldn't there be a way of getting around such questions? They can always be diplomatic around it! Only reason reporters/audiences ask such questions is because they are such big stars. The have put themselves in that spot light and doesn’t matter how much they ignore such questions, it comes out in the end anyways with reliable "sources". After all only reason they are big stars is cause "audiences/fans pay them"! If we stop watching their movies/buying DVD's, music albums, the star value won't be there right? **These were some issues dicussed during this morning’s Hollywood gossip session!

1st thing stop using pc name in every post, everyone start debating on her personal life and characters.
2nd all actors enjoys getting publicity like this like bebo saif never opens when they are going to get married, adi rani or salman kat never clarifies whether they are dating or not, even all actors sign new movies but never open the mystery till they finally start shooting etc etc
Everybody has a right to privacy BUT celebs who use their personal lifes to sell products and make money have given up some of their rights to privacy.
Reporters shouldn't be peeping in their bedrooms or trash but celebs shouldn't get upset if information that they released to the public comes up in interviews. Their managers should clear the type of questions that will be answered before the interview starts.
if someone is at work place and their boss asks "who are u sleeping with apart from your husband nowdays" who would like to answer that with a smile just because their boss pay them.....some people are very privite they cant share their personal feelings with even their close freinds so how can we expect them to answer reporters stupid questions which are going to be debated on the second day....i like to kno about my favourite stars personal life but i kno i dont have any right tto do that.
stars personal life story can really help them if their movies are not working .e.g salman from mid 90's to 08/09 when his movies were bombing but he remaind one of tthe top khans due to persnal life mess and now when his movies are making big bucks at the box office his personal life is nowhere discussed.
I do enjoy hearing and reading about my favourite celebrities. It isn't a must and my life will not come to an end if I don't know, but it is fun and interesting.
There is a limit though, I don't care about who they sleep with, don't sleep with, what they wear or don't wear, or where they eat or shop.
They chose this...Gotta take the brickbats too along with the adulation! Like someone wrote below, QUIT WHINING! You cant have it ALL...!
I think Rihanna handled it very well. She didn't become mad or anything. Her tone was level and smooth. She made her point.
It's natural and wonderful to want to and be able to know who the people behind our beloved stars are. But only to an extent. We have no right to their very personal feelings and lives, unless they are willing to share. Yes, we can be curious as human beings, even healthily curious as well-wishers, but we still do not have the right. They have the right to be quiet about whatever they'd like to be quiet about and it shouldn't be taken personally. Everyone has different comfort zones. Everyone should be able to have their private space of comfort to be able to just be themselves. If one is an open book, great, and if one is not, that's okay too, even though it could leave us disappointed. If you see 'acting' as a job, then just like any other job, the questions should be about our work, if things are to remain professional. Crossing those lines only comes when we know someone well and are comfortable with them. The stars don't really know us personally do they. And then it doesn't always work when their personal life stories overtake their professional life.
This is the interview i was talking about! around 2.40
just for one minute imagine your self instead of them and you simply will get your answer. do you like people invade your privacy?I'm sure most of people's answer is NO!
they are HUMANS like us and like every human being they have the right to have some privacy.
yes,we the audiences, pay for watching their movies & etc, so we have the right to criticize their work which is ON-SCREEN not their private life. If you don't like their work or even themselves you can easily ignore them and boycott their movies,therefore they will automatically lose their status and their star power.
they chose it....celebs should be like a clear book....otherwise they shouldnt have chosen to be celebs....so much hiding and fake stories they all make,...drives me mad!!
When stars like Beyonce earn $ 90 million a year, and Amir Khan makes Rs. 40 crore of a single movie, yes, they deserve to have details of their personal lives probed. It's the least they have to go through.
No one is forcing them to be a celebrity, they can always pack up and move to the middle of nowhere and live a simple life, public memory is short and they will soon be forgotten.
THERE SHOULD BE NO LIMITS AT THE END OF THE DAY THESE BOLLYWOOD STARS CHOOSE TO HAVE THIS PROFESSION HENCE THEY SHOULD ENJOY THE FAME AND THE LOOPSIDES LIKE BEING INVADED OF YOUR PRIVACY

The star has the right to refuse to answer personal questions and we should respect that right. But if you have become a star by marketing yourself and your personality and your personal stories (and your work is not really that great) then everything is game. Stop whining!

Although as viewers, we love juicy gossip, but if I were in their place, I'd hate it too! As if my personal relationships and activities outweight my work!

for the ppl talking about srk priyanka ...if srk clarifies the rumours then that would be giving importance to the media and is what is being printed about him... by keeping a silence he is infact trying to remove his family from this mess as cleanly as possible...there may or may not have been an affair...but it's the media who has made it dirty...not him, his wife or anyone else...im sure gauri khan had no involvement in any of the stuff printed...srk fell in love with and married this woman...she has to be a class apart if he is so amazing himself....she doesnt need to use any tricks etc to keep srk coz he loves her....and always will...srk will never leave his family...for anyone!
Infact in an article he oncesaid: for her(gauri) i would even leave films...it would kill me...but for her i would do it...
priyanka herself started the questions by acting all loved up for SRK on KWK so why get angry now?
if this is pc's pr then lemme tell you, ur plans have already backfired aunty ji. your face is no more that of a girl but a desperate anuty ji.
it is only natural for human beings to get curios. they want us to look at everything the way they want. but we look at the things the way we want. even if we rubbish a news after reading it, that would mean that we were given the chance to have a opinion. and on forum like pinkvilla where we can comment as well makes it more like a people sharing their likes and dislike. once on the net, it doesnt remain private anymore. eg. katrina wants me to know about the brands she is endorsing but what if i get curious about the kids with whom she is endorsing the brands or the dress she is wearing in a particular advertisment or the makeup that makes her look so beautiful or all the the love she gets from everyone or how she manages to get her head on her shoulder even after such a success. this sort of creats a love-hate relationship. they might not know us but we are already overdosed with their presense so that doesnt entice anymore.
But every time we see stars doing a tamasha when a movie is to be released.They do interviews & their name is linked to someone.The PR team leaks out so much personal info about a star...mostly boring stuff.What the star likes,eats,cooks blah blah & more blah. Do we need to know all this?????????
Look at Amitabh Bachchan who tweeted about his DIL's pregnancy. He even invited names for his new grand daughter from the public. But he has never officially stated the baby's name.Then how can he complain about an invasion of privacy?You simply can't pick & choose what the media should or should not do.
I'd like to think that because the media is more cut throat & responsible these days,stars don't get away with rotten behaviour....like the recent fracas with Saif.If they act like idiots,they are pulled up for it!This never happened before during the 'Let's worship the stars period'.Many of them of have gotten away with absolutely despicable behaviour only because of who they are.
You are in the public eye,it's the people who pay hard earned money to see you & the media that you use when you need them who's made you a star. The public look up to you,imitate you , so you should act in a responsible way. If you don't like it,please retire.
Reporters should ask questions related to event at which they are present. Its not important for them to ask any personal question at every event the star attend.
I remember Shah Rukh Khan use to say 'His life is an Open book and he has nothing to hide. Now he is saying his life is Not an Open Book, so Obviously he has something to hide. Like I don't know what is!!!!
its no ones business as to what a celebrity does. leave people alone - eg. Priyanka....
This post looks Sneaky. I wouldn't doubt it's Priyanka's PR people who wrote this Article.
There's a reason their called "PRIVATE" questions....i guess media just doesn't that!
I saw Rihanna's interview that you are talking about. Rihanna was being rude. She could have just said "No comment", but instead she acted like a dumb diva. She's getting a lot of flack for it now too.
You pay for what a celebrity delivers onscreen. It doesn't mean you own them. They don't owe us any personal information and they have every right to decline to answer those types of questions.
Its somehow true, but even if they did put themselves into the limelight, everyone has the right to keep his/her private life.................private!
Feel like some Priyanka Chopra's publicist has wrote and "cooked" up this post to make her look innocent after she didn't answered questions to journo's about KJO/Gauri/SRK war of words. I dunno, just my gut feeling since this women has gone too far and as KJO tweeted on twitter "Don't mess with GOODNESS!" I think its hightime PC considers this and stop being such a despo!!!
i think there should be some limits to interviews.
