Hi Friends!!!

We might have watched films ,television serials one or the other time.We like the characters in that film or serial and sometimes the love,adoration for that characters makes us admire those actors also.But this admiration exceeds to some extrordinary levels and those people claim themselves to be fans of those actors.Some crazy people even worhip them,by building temples.Seriously,Amitabh is worshipped,South Actor Chiranjeevi is worshipped.

We watch sports and games .We admire some teams and some player in particular.So if we take cricket.People die for Sachin.Another category of fans.

We are definetely part of one or the other nation.At one or the other time we adore some leaders.But some people adore their leaders very crazily that they worship them,do puja's for them.Another category of Fans.

I feel ordinary people don't become fans of anything or anyone crazily.Only immatured people or small kids become fans of something or someone.Do you people agree????

Or

Being fan of someone has nothing to do with our mental growth or class??

Cheers,

Mythili

U know ... the word "Fan" (no no .. not the air wala pankha 😆 )... has originated from "Fanatic" .. We all know what this word means ..... C-R-A-Z-Y!!! 😛

the different categories of "Fans" as you described has different age groups too... That MAY effect the craziness in being a fan.

I will return here ... i need to go 😊

Ordinary people might become fans,but never fanatics 😉...Only immature ones become fanatics... 😃

The kind of fancraze you're speaking about is called "fanaticism"..."Fans" ONLY like a person for whatever reason,STRICTLY JUST LIKING,not going overboard with this "liking"....Overzealously loving somebody,fighting for them,not being liberal and moderate,and psychopathically worshipping at their alter is what's fanaticism is about.......

In my case I just appreciate the talent and ability of the person in his/her profession. I am uncomfortable and resist using the word FAN. I dont have any desire to meet them or visit them on sets. When I see them at airports they are just like normal people only a KNOWN face.

I do admire my favourite actors because of the different characters they played duing the life of their career. Normal people like myself don't know them personally and don't fly to India just to see them on the sets. SRK and Amitabh Bacchan visited Canada this year so I thought this is a good chance to meet them personally. We all have desire to meet them personally but not many of us try to fulfill our desire because we are scadred that they will be rude to us because of security or for shortage of timing.
I liking for my favourite actors is only limited upto admire them for their talent and politeness but I DO NOT WORSHIP THEM because I only worship GOD. There are many people in my life who I feel as next to GOD but not GOD. I take them for granted but I am still thankful to GOD to bring such a nice people in my life.

👏👏 That's what I call fanship neelam di.

1) Devotion and blindly following someone like sheep - I don;t even call it being fans.
I know I will get grilled and pounced on for giving the example of a certain female singer- celebrity, whose adamant behaviour is hampering the entire Pedder Road traffic issue in Mumbai while her devotees annoying support her behaviour !! 🤢 Girls committed suicide when ravi shastri got married!! 🤢. i cannot even begin to believe how ppl can be so blind.

2) True fans will ADMIRE and CRITICIZE for the betterment of the actor .
3) If you mix your real life with their real / reel life, that's crossing the border between fan and fool.
however, some fans act crazy and make certain juvenile comments about their favorite actors for purely entertainment purpose. they act crazy, but are not.

nice post mythili! thnx.

AND ....What about Rajesh Khanna 😕 ...i heard when he got married, girls who committed suicide went to a double figure number 🤢

HOW crazy!!!! 🤢 😡

Anyways .. i have never said that im a fan of a particular celebrity.. becoz i am not 😛 ... their performances vary from time to time and when i get to see some quality work .. i admire them ... that is it!
Rest is said beautifully by Subha Aunty and Neelam di

[PS :hmm 🤔 should i call you Neelam aunty 😛 😈 ..Pleeeeeeeeeeease 😳 😆 ]

I do agree to this but at a certain levell.....The biggest stupudity is giving life...or doing all this crazy stuff...but If u like someone u tend to appreciate him in every state.....And this is the wrong thing..agar usne kahiin par accha kaam nahi kiya phir bhi arrey wah kyya kaam kiya hai...My foot.......

But in the other case I dont deny the fact ke hum fans ban jaate hain....We love an actor we doo...ab hum usse jhuklayein kaise....FANS ARE FANS AND THEY ALWAYS WILL REMAIN....

What's life without appreciating life ,people and art??? We need to appreciate things not for others but for ourselves.I do'nt claim myselves to be someone's fan but I admire them that too for short term.At present I'm worried about Abhishek and I'm thinking about his future and now I'm suffering with low blood pressure,hearing that Ash is marrying a tree BP became normal.
Cheers,
