Uday Chopra’s Tweets Revealed His Sportsmanship!

Doesn’t it feel great getting an award? Remember how you felt when you were a child and received best student of the year award or a sports award for performing in the athletic events? Answering in one word, I’d say you felt GREAT, isn’t it? But how would you have felt had you received an award for performing the worst in the studies or sports, or any other thing? Well, it’s quite a tricky situation; you never know how to react, right? But our Bollywood stars don’t miss a single chance to feel happy and enjoy! Recently Uday Chopra tweeted about the award he received even though it was for being worst!

Uday chopra’s film Pyaar Impossible got the Worst Film of the Year Award by Annual Ghanta Awards! The film did really well in the ‘Worst’ category as it also bagged away with the Worst Couple Award! Uday did really well to prove his chemisty with Priyanka Chopra worst! Performing worst is as difficult a task as performing well, not all movies get nominated in this category and neither all of them get awarded! Annual Ghanta Awards did see the pains Uday took in making his movie Worst and awarded him and he showed his sporting spirit by accepting the award!

Uday Chopra’s tweet went this way, “I know I shouldn't be tweeting this but found it hard to resist. PI wins worst film. Im actually excited by this..lol” To which Abhichek Bachchan replied, “well brada, like i always say, some award is better than none! regardless of the category. CONGRATULATIONS!!!”

Interestingly, Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan too is a proud owner of the Worst actress award. She received the awards in two films namely Robot and Raavan! Now this only she can say whether she is really proud of the award or not!

Uday’s sportsmanship got reflected in one more of his tweets, “ha ha thanks BRADA!!! I shall celebrate this in my own way, by staying at home...lol” Seriously, people like Uday make Bollywood flashing with sportsmanship!! Perhaps our Film Industry has more spirited players than our sports teams!!

Celebrity Twitterers In Trouble For Controversial Tweets!

Twitter is one of the largest social networking platforms with its really large number of users. The number of Twitter users at the moment is about 190 million but the number is constantly increasing and you never know when it reaches a blasting limit!! And its approx. 190 million users are busy producing about 65 million tweets every day.

This suggests that if you are a frequent Twitterer, your tweets have a really vast audience! And every word that your tweets speak has to be cautiously chosen for you never know who’s going to come across your tweet and who will then retweet them, and finally how the readers are going to react to them.

Twitter is the most popular social media platform and creates the same effects as the print media or the radio or television broadcast does. One wrong comment and you are gone forever. You never know if somebody uses your tweets to create a controversy or bring defamation for you. And even if the matter doesn’t go that bad and that far, they can still put you in embarrassing situations if they are not posted with caution.

This is what happened with some of the celebrity twitterers. Courtney Love’s controversial Twitter posts have not only brought her a lot of insult but have also brought her severe monitory losses as well. Her comments on fashion designer Dawn Simonrangkir has cost her millions of pounds as defamation claims. Her tweets have damaged her to a really great extent.

Similar to Courtney’s case, Ryan Babel too created a storming controversy through his Twitter posts. His Twitter post related to Howard Webb, the referee of the recent Manchester United Vs Liverpoool FA Cup game immensely damaged the footballer’s reputation bringing him instant defamatory comments from the audiences as well as sports critics.

It is not that only the popular Twitterers or the celebrities on Twitter who have to face such troubles, even the commoners on Twitter can be in trouble due to their controversial tweets. And it is not just the movie, rock, or sport stars who actively post Twitter updates. There are several many famous and not so famous, big and not so big businesses advertising and promoting their companies, services, and products through Twitter. Then there are the news makers or the journalists, the politicians, and even the enthusiastic citizens from the world over, who keep tweeting from time to time. And if they forget to be a little cautious before posting their tweets, they too may have to face storming tribulations!

So next time when you post a comment against your competitors, or overly popularize your product or service through tweets, just remember if your comments are controversial or promotions are baseless, you too may have to pay huge penalties!

So you are a struggling actor, or an amateur writer, or a rookie in the field of music you hardly have to worry the way strugglers had to worry just 15 years back or so. The so called social networking sites and micro-blogging sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc have made struggling not so struggle-some task!!

Strugglers today get global opening. They get to interact with like minded people from all over the world which also opens before them global opportunity to prove their talents. Various online forums let you learn the tricks of the trades you are aspiring to pursue in. The social networking sites make you aware of the latest job opportunities and requirements, and then there are special communities and groups where even the experts tell you what you need to do to succeed in your field.

A typical day of a Bollywood struggler today starts by checking out the latest Twitter updates or Facebook updates by the various groups specifically meant for the newbie actors, singers, and so on. There are several such groups that keep updating the latest requirements to help the strugglers find placement in the tough world of Bollywood. Then there are several support groups helping newcomers find their ways out of the misleading clutter all around them.

Well renowned film director Subhash Ghai who also has a film school in Mumbai says that today the talents are respected; actors, musicians, and even the technicians get hired by globally recognized recruiters today. The talents from India get to compete with the world class players. He is quite right in saying this, as it is not just movies the newcomers have to focus upon, there are numerous other opportunities like film training institutes, grooming centers, etc.

But could a person do all this without the present day’s technology, without the presence of social networking and micro blogging sites like Facebook and Twitter? Certainly not, how can you think of keeping in touch with people residing far off from you? After all, one can’t think of flying to New York and taking the connecting flight to Paris in search of opportunities for artists and actors! In fact one can’t even think of taking a local train and move around Mumbai the film city the whole day long!!

But one can certainly think of clicking around various social sites and fixing up the meetings with Bollywood messiahs guiding on these sites as there are various Bollywood stars, especially directors and filmmakers who try contacting newbies for there movies using the social sites. That’s indeed a far more possible and practical way to fulfill your dream of turning into a Bollywood star one day!
