them. On the one hand, people enjoy the fame that they get
as well as
they strive hard to achieve it.
However
, they should be given a little more privacy as not everything they feel or do is meant to be known to the public.
Moreover
, having a personal space is very important to keep oneself motivated, relaxed and happy.
For example
, when the Indian cricketer, Yuvraj Sigh was detected with cancer, he was asked a lot of questions about his health
as well as
his career. Accepting
such
news is extremely difficult
in addition
, the media just made it worse for him. Having to answer uncomfortable questions during good and bad times can be difficult for famous personalities.
On the other hand
, since public figures are highly influential, everyone is willing to know more about their diet, routine, clothes etc. The young generation looks up to them as role models and tries to copy them in every possible way.
For instance
, once the followers of John Abraham got to know that he follows a vegetarian diet, all of them started giving up on eating meat.
Besides
, the belief that protein-rich food is mandatory to develop muscles was shattered.
To conclude
, every individual has the right to be treated properly and have privacy to an extent. The media should respect it and have some limitations.
