If You Can Be Anything, Be Kind!

Sometime ago, a typical scene happened. Bankable Star (BS) was approached by a teen and politely asked her if they could have a photo together. As BS was waiting for her car, the teen thought it was okay to approach. Shockingly, BS refused and said that she was in a hurry. The teen left with disappointment, and as the teen looked back, BS was still standing in the same spot, and the car was not yet near.

While the scene of a celebrity snubbing a fan happens often, two factors distinguish the above scene. First, BS often flaunts her closeness with her fans in her social media accounts. BS posts photos hugging fans, singing with them, and engaging them in conversation. BS even profusely thanks her fans in her virtual accounts. Thus, her refusal seemed uncalled for, unless all her actions towards her fans were done merely for show.

Second, the teen that BS ignored happened to have connections with the Bigwig (BW) of the network. During a family gathering, the mother of the teen recounted the story to BW. BW was then placed in an embarrassing position, as BW was in disbelief that one of the prized talents of the network behaved that way towards a fan. Moreover, the sweet and accommodating image of BS did not match her refusal of the request of the teen.

Immediately, BW called the Road Manager (RM) of BS and told the RM to remind BS that the fans are the ones who give life to celebrities. After the unpleasant incident with BS, the teen had the chance to watch the show where BS regularly performs. The teen received VIP treatment as everyone knew of the connection with BW. Then, the chance to have a picture with BS came. However, this time, the teen walked away, as the earlier attitude of BS was still such a turn off.

Hypocrisy is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of belonging. - Alexander Theroux
