Fans from all around the world give their celebrities sincere messages via social media and presents. But the real tragedy is that not only do our superstars have really tight security, but they’re also not very accessible to regular people like you and me. As a consequence, we can’t help but can live by imagining them as our soulmates in our imagination.
But imagine meeting your favourite celebrity, your role model, someone you’ve been following since you were a child.
Yes, that’s not exactly impossible. There have been occasions when these Bollywood celebs had a face-to-face meeting with their fans. And when you met with them, it is obvious that you are who are interested in more than just a selfie and an autograph.
