I believe that the media scrutiny, social media discussions, blinds, posts from ppl who have interacted them in real life is what has taken away that star appeal. Since now you have a better chance at knowing the real person. Warna with the kind of stuff Rajesh Khanna and others did, ajke time me dhulai ho jani thi.
When all this didnt exist, you just put the star on a pedestal and they stayed there coz no one burst your bubble much.
Now, they get called out the second they try any BS. Which is a good thing. So now you cant be a superstar just bcoz your films do well, you gotta be a decent person as well.
But I have to say, I used to love stealing mom's magazines and reading the gossip and explosive interviews that Filmfare and all these magz used to publish. Some actors had no filter back then😆
