Should The Private Lives Of Famous People?

When it comes to the topic of should the private lives of famous people be off limits to the media, most of us will readily agree that no private life should be entirely off limits. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how the media always finds their way into the life of the artist. Whereas some are convinced that the media should not interfere into the private lives of the celebrity, others maintain that because even if they make a lot of fans happy, they can always live a life of loneliness. I agree that the private lives of a famous person should be off limits to the media because they might have everything in the world but underneath all that they might be living their life melancholy and loneliness.

Haider Ali, a blogger from Big Time Blog entitled: “Are Celebrities Entitled to a Private Life?” he talked about how the glitz and glam of the celebrity life brought tragedy that often lurks below the sensational surface for them. He took Meena Kumari, a Bollywood actress, as an example and said, “she brought a lot of happiness to a million of fans at the expense of her own private life which brought melancholy, heartbreak and loneliness” (Ali). Ali established that even if an artist lives can bring a lot of happiness to millions of fans underneath all that they can live a life that is lonely and heartbreaking. Celebrities are just like regular people, they fall in love and they get hurt and they act tough pretending that everything is alright with them.

...e right to maintain some privacy because it isn’t the media’s right on what they are doing or who they are dating. It isn’t their right to know at all, it’s not like the world owns them. They have the right to keep something private and if they want to share it then they will share it with the whole world it they wanted too.

All in all, artists are still regular people just like everyone else in this world. However, they might live glamorously and have all the money in the world but at the end of the day they just want to have a quiet life. However, it is hard for them to have quiet life when the world treats them as modern GODs that are perfect and have no flaws at all. If, they make a mistake they criticize them. Why? They aren’t perfect at all, no one is. The world shouldn’t focus on an artist’s life at all, they lose focus on what matters the most in this world.
