why being famous has more drawbacks.
Firstly
a famous person
such
as an actor or actress will gain millions of fans after obtaining popularity.
This
is to say that, they feel important and loved by numerous
people
, and it will bring happiness and a sense of achievement to their
life

curiosity of the common

about the social and private lives of celebrities.
As a consequence
, they are mostly surrounded by fake friends who are just there to gather information about the
life
of a celebrity.
Hence
, the pleasure gained
initially
does not

longer and may become a major cause of stress for them. To exemplify, Shruti Khanna, a popular playback singer in India, took her

In other words

On the other hand
, they are assumed to be perfect under every circumstance, by their fans.
Moreover
, to maintain
this
fan following, celebrities are always under pressure to look presentable every time. What is more, they are judged for each and every move they make either in public or in their private
life
.
Therefore
, they are forced to live a pretentious
life
where they cannot express their emotions like others.
In addition

undergo surgeries to enhance their beauty.
However
, these surgeries are not always successful
To conclude
, a celebrity gains various benefits
such
as fame and lots of money,
although
these are not sufficient for a healthy and happy
life
.
Furthermore
, their
life
is full of stress and burdensome.
Thus
, I believe that being famous is more disadvantageous.
