It pains me when a film actor or cricketer is a youth icon- Irfan khan - Page 3

Actors, yes. They don't contribute anything to society. Most of them are despicable human beings to boot.

But athletes are inspirational. Especially athletes who don't do it for the money. Who push their bodies to the extreme, fight all odds and in a lot of cases make the country proud. It takes a lot of time, hard work and dedication to stick to your craft and reach the levels these people reach. Milkha Singh's story is certainly inspirational.

I disagree. Actors give entertainment.

Acting, film and theatre are an art form.

Speaking of when it is done well.

I think entertainers can be youth icons, but I don't think they can be considered heroes. The two terms aren't interchangeable.

Why not ? If someone is doing something good which inspires others or may be their rags to riches story and their struggle to achieve success inspires others so what is the problem . It could happen with any field .

Many actors and cricketers inspire a lot of people. Hence they can be hero.

Had people have some common sense then events like star show for relief funds never hadn't happened 😊

True! Richa also said the Sam in Roundtable. Choose better role models!
