Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, the voice behind provocative cinema, is sounding alarms on social media’s grip on Bollywood. He insists actors distance themselves to safeguard their irreplaceable charm.
‘Stars are like distant stars—admired from afar,’ Agnihotri articulated. Flooding timelines with everyday glimpses—be it salons, stores, or events—renders them ordinary. The result? Diminished theater draw as virtual proximity kills the thrill.
He critiqued the habit of chronicling every hour, which erodes on-screen magic. Fans satiated by snippets have little reason to seek more.
Navigating social media’s minefield adds peril. Posts ignite comment wars; even benign greetings face accusations. Agnihotri likened mobile users to armed vigilantes.
Personally, he sticks to non-partisan issues such as pollution awareness. ‘Stars, especially the youth, should veil personal worlds,’ he urged. This veil nurtures curiosity, amplifying their cinematic impact.
Agnihotri’s insights cut through digital hype, advocating mystery in an oversharing age. For stars chasing longevity, less might truly be more.
