TAMANNAAH QUESTIONS THE CONSTANT PRESSURE ON CELEBS
Busy helping if she is The actor says be someone, then she wouldn’t going around showcasing it
While the fight against Covid-19 has united the country, a section of the society continues to criticise celebrities for not doing enough to help the health crisis. Actor Tamannaah Bhatia wonders why is there this unnecessary pressure on people from showbiz.
In fact, the 31-yearold feels that the notion that celebs are not doing their bit to help people affected by the virus is also wrong, as not all want to share their acts of goodness.
“To each their own; we do what we essentially believe in. If you really want to help someone, in my opinion, I won’t like talking about it. On the other hand, there are some people who think showcasing is a way of spreading the message,” she shares. So, there is nothing wrong in putting your contribution out, but it can’t be treated as an unwritten rule for all.
“I just come from a different school of thought. And I don’t like talking about it because it doesn’t make sense to me; if I’m busy helping someone, why should I be showcasing it? I don’t connect that way,” she admits, going on to confess that there has “always been this pressure on actors as they are supposed to always talk about it”. The trail of wrongful notions doesn’t end there, as Bhatia reveals, “Some people think that actors have a lot of money and actors have all the privileges in the world. They forget that stars are just like everyone else.”
The actor, who was recently seen in the thriller web series, November Story, goes on to explain that even celebrities have to work very hard to earn their living.
“Someone has not just given it to us. Some people have all these ideas and hence, they have such expectations as well. Somewhere, I feel, they confuse the image that they see on screen with what we are as people,” she concludes.
