Have We Been Ignoring What Paparazzi
Culture Is Doing To Millennials?
A
big difference between us and the previous generation is the existence of
social media. Our parents did not have Facebook or Instagram to post pictures
and share personal information. Millennials spend at least 27 hours every week
on social media. The existence of social media has also changed lives of
celebrities in India.
Actors
have had stardom in previous decades but they were a mystery for common people.
Today, they are relatable. Today, we see them through pictures, thanks to the
paparazzi. They also post pictures on social media themselves. Paparazzi has
been doing a commendable job clicking celebrities in and out, their favorite
being a little kid Taimur Ali Khan!
But
this connect has influenced our lives in more than one way. According to
McKinsey, social media is highly responsible for referrals brands get, hence
boosting their sales. Millennials have also started following their
favorite celebrity’s lifestyles. But is it worthwhile? It is good to look good,
but everyone’s priorities may be different. Celebrities spend a lot of money on
their appearance. It is an important part of their work to look a certain way.
Due
to this influence, fitness has also become something more than simply a healthy
lifestyle. Millennials believe starving is fine, if it can give flat abs. At
times obesity can be a medical condition but now body shaming does not spare
you even if you have PCOD. You must be perfect. All this and what not!
Paparazzi
has helped us build connect with celebrities and their luxurious lifestyle. It
is upto us to use this connect in a healthy way. Instead of aping every move,
we can get inspired by them and try and be successful like some of them are.
