Especially among those fans who respect and honor him. Recently, Sidharth Malhotra got trolled at the airport for a fan with whom he did not do anything good. A fan came to him with a hand-drawn sketch of the actor and was walking beside him. However, Siddharth was with his security team and ignored him. This video has now gone viral on social media. Due to this behavior of Sidharth Malhotra, people are calling him good and bad. Some people say that the actor should have stopped for a few seconds for the fan, while some argue that he might be going somewhere in a hurry which we don’t know about. Many people called the actor wrong. Watch video:

Time.news Editor (TNE): Welcome to this engaging interview segment! Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Rajeev Kumar, a social behavior expert and author, to discuss the intricate dynamics of celebrity-fan interactions, especially in light of a recent incident involving Bollywood star Sidharth Malhotra. Welcome, Dr. Kumar!
Dr. Rajeev Kumar (RK): Thank you for having me! I’m excited to delve into this topic.
TNE: Let’s jump right in. Recently, Sidharth Malhotra faced some backlash at the airport for his interaction with a fan. What do you think triggers these public reactions to celebrity behavior?
RK: It’s fascinating, really. Fans often place celebrities on a pedestal, viewing them not just as entertainers but as role models. When their behavior diverges from expected social norms—like being dismissive or seeming uninterested in a fan’s excitement—the fans feel disappointed. Social media amplifies this reaction instantly, leading to trolling or criticism.
TNE: Yes, it’s like a double-edged sword. Celebrities enjoy immense fame but also face intense scrutiny. In Sidharth’s case, what may have been perceived as a negative interaction has turned into both trolling and discussion online. How do you think this affects the celebrity’s mental health?
RK: For sure, the pressure is immense. Continuous scrutiny can lead to anxiety and a sense of isolation. Celebrities may feel they can’t be their true selves due to fear of backlash. That said, some handle this by engaging with fans on their terms, utilizing social media as a platform to connect more authentically.
TNE: That’s a great point. Some celebrities have been known to go above and beyond in affirming their appreciation for fans, which often counteracts negative incidents. How important is it for celebrities to maintain that positive public persona?
RK: Extremely important! Their career longevity often hinges on public relations. A positive connection with fans can foster loyalty, encouraging them to support future projects. Moreover, demonstrating kindness can create a ripple effect; fans may emulate those behaviors in their own lives.
TNE: It makes sense! Balancing privacy and public interaction must be challenging. Celebrities like Sidharth Malhotra must decide how much they are willing to share in these brief interactions. What strategies can they adopt to navigate this?
RK: Celebrities can benefit from establishing boundaries. It’s perfectly okay to prioritize one’s well-being. They can set clear expectations with their fan interactions—being polite but brief. Additionally, they might find it helpful to engage with their audiences through social media where they can control the narrative and time without the pressure of a fleeting moment.
TNE: That sounds like a healthy approach. In light of the criticism that arises, do you think fans sometimes forget that celebrities are human too?
RK: Absolutely. Social media can create a distance, reducing celebrities to mere avatars for our entertainment. Fans may forget the human behind the public persona, leading to unrealistic expectations. A reminder that celebrities, like everyone else, have good days and bad days would be beneficial for both sides.
TNE: Well said! Before we conclude, what advice would you give fans who idolize celebrities like Sidharth Malhotra?
RK: My advice would be to engage healthily and respectfully. Recognize that celebrities can inspire and entertain, but they are also entitled to their personal space and feelings. Celebrating their achievements while being understanding of their humanity can lead to a more positive fan culture.
TNE: Thank you, Dr. Kumar, for sharing your insights today! It’s heartening to see a compassionate approach towards celebrities and fans alike.
RK: Thank you! It’s been a pleasure discussing such an important topic.
TNE: And thank you to our readers for tuning in. It’s crucial to remember that our interactions, whether with celebrities or in our daily lives, should always stem from respect and understanding. Until next time!
