Social Networking Sites - Present Day Benefactor For Bollywood Newbies

Do you think things are getting complicated with the recent developments in technology? Well, I believe exactly the opposite; the technological developments are not complicating things but are rather making the things uncomplicated. Distances have contracted, world has come near, what we have today was not even imagined just 25 years back.

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!

What Makes Following The Indian Celebrities On Twitter Interesting?

Indian Celebrities On TwitterIf you are ever asked what clothes fascinates you most? What places you love the most? What food you would love trying once? What will be your first thought then? Well, don’t really know about you but most people think of doing what their favorite celebrities do or what has become famous because of some famous people.

The other day I saw, to my astonishment, that a young girl was searching for the dress which Sonam kapoor wore in her last film. The shopkeeper kept showing her lots of great dresses but she had only that dress in her mind. This is also true with people joining various social networking sites and the micro-blogging giant Twitter. When Sachin first made his presence on Twitter, all Sachin fans, who never were net savvy and never had an account on Twitter, thronged in there. How come they all got the Twitter-mania? Yeah, it is true, Twitter-mania is quite common these days, and most net savvy people get housed at the Twitter world but people who scarcely surf the net are also reported to be loitering in the lanes of Twitter!

It is not just Twitter that is becoming famous because of famous people, even the famous people are helped by Twitter to earn extra chunks of fame. This is how Mr. Tharoor’s name has become a household name today with newspaper talking about his Tweets! Celebrities add a special charm to the world of Twitter. It is simply great to see them on the micro-blogging site. Celebrity fans always take interest in every next thing that talks about their favorite stars or what ever the stars do.

Years back people depended on TV-shows, Bollywood-gossip magazines, and the page 3 content from the local &national dailies to feed themselves on the latest gossips from the Bollywood world but today they have much faster means like gossip blogs and social networking sites. Interestingly, Twitter proves to be much faster than these faster means of gossips as the stars themselves post the gossips and insights from their personal lives. Earlier people had to read the interviews of the stars to get a slice from their personal lives but now we have the stars themselves tweeting about their personal lives that include everything starting from what breakfast they had, with whom did they fight, what’s their next plans to their party photographs and picnic videos and if the fans are lucky enough they even get replies from their favorite stars. And fascinatingly, some stars keep tweeting round the clock!

Can anyone think of getting such an experience of nearness from the glittering celebrities if they do not follow them on Twitter? I guess, most of us would say no, so it is better that you keep following the stars at Twitter!!
