There is an urgent need for strongest possible action against fans and
followers of celebrities, especially stars of Bollywood and other film
industries in the country who are indulging in violence and disturbances,
particularly during the release of a new movie of their favourite actors.
Different state governments as well as the Centre should look into the matter
urgently before it is too late. The fans with criminal mindset are needed to be
punished heavily as they are not only endangering the lives of the common
citizens but their actions sometimes tarnish the image of the country.
Recently in a Maharshtra movie theatre a bunch of highly irresponsible
Salman Khan fans were seen going berserk and bursting crackers inside the
cinema hall while watching the inaugural show of the Bollywood superstar’s
latest release Tiger 3. Incidents of fire inside cinema halls have claimed
numerous lives in the past in several countries across the world including
India. But this terrible fact seemed to have no impact on the violence loving
and crazy fans of the Bollywood megastar. Ironically this is not for the first
time such a bizarre incident had taken place in India. If reports are to be
believed, in southern Indian states fans regularly burst crackers inside cinema
halls to celebrate the release of the new movies of their favourite actors. The
film industry in south India is more vibrant and popular than even Bollywood.
Many
experts believe that lack of appropriate and exemplary action on part of the
authorities against the fans of the celebrities encourages them to indulge in mindless
crimes like bursting crackers inside movie halls. Therefore, the need of the
hour is that the authorities should wake up from their slumber and initiate
steps in this regard before things go out of control.
Fans
should also realise the gravity of the situation themselves and ensure that
they do not cross the danger line. Their behaviour should not harm others
neither it should affect the reputation of their country. A nation would definitely
earn a bad name if its citizens would involve themselves in an uncivilized act
like burning and bursting crackers inside a closed cinema hall.
