- India is a democratic country. We cannot restrict the celebrities from using social media, as it is their right as any other citizen of our country. If we closely watch the requirement of a celebrity using social media, it doesn’t yield an appealing explanation.
A celebrity using the social media to interact with the fans and entertain them with their latest achievements and upcoming events could be a generous and acceptable response. But, we can confirm that none of the celebrities reveal any of their real self or any upcoming events in their professional career as well. With a fake representation, these celebrities already have the media in form of newspapers and television to promote themselves.
Provided the promotion of the social media companies, it doesn’t require a public profile of these celebrities. People are already into the social media and use the same to the fullest for day-to-day interactions and conversations. It doesn’t require any celebrity with a fake selfie presentation. Using the social media for a framed up representation does not require a social networking.
To be precise, the celebrities into the social media is not a requirement, but banning them from using the source would be an illegal move.
