Franco Vazquez Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I mean they smoke, they do drugs, they cheat on their wives/gfs, they avoid taxes, they blackmail people so the question is that are they really role models for the society? Tbh for me, my role model is my dad who despite being raised in a humble household worked hard and married a rich woman and he doesn't do any sort of those things even though I don't like his habit of using curse words and being passionate about different things but he has never done something which brought a bad name to our family UrmiSinhaRay 1

vvvslaxman Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 No. Actually movie characters more role models than movie stars in real life. I like the Red character in Shawsank redemption. I also like the Alpacino speech in any given sunday. Mariyam, UrmiSinhaRay and riya 1 2

Mariyam Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 @Franco Vazquez Aren't you from the UAE? You can't compare a role model from the UAE to a role model from India. Our role models cheat taxes and mask their true incomes. Your role models don't even have to pay taxes!! The UAE doesn't levy a tax on income. That's a skill set your role models lack.

Ranvir Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Anyone who considers celebrities role models has something wrong with them. Your role models are your parents and other people that you interact with on a regular basis. Not some rich person on TV that you have no relationship with. As for celebrity bad behaviour, when you are that rich and famous and can get whatever you want, the temptation to say no is very difficult so I don't judge them unless they are physically hurting someone ( a la Salman Khan).

rkt.india Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Role model thing is over-hyped. There is no such thing like role-model really. Every human has grey shades so how can human be called role-models. There are Billion shades of grey, 0 role-model. UrmiSinhaRay and Switchblade 1 1
beetle Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Role model in what sense? A sportperson can be a role model for a young aspiring sportman. Similarly an actor can be a role model for an aspiring actor. If you mean role models in life ....as in role model for character.....then no. One has to know a person to know about their character. Role models in life are more likely to be from family , teachers , for some even religious figures. Adi BB, riya and jf1gp_1 3
Number Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) If your defintion of celeb is silver spooned gawaar starkids of bollywood then probably no. However there are many great actors and actresses in Bollywood who have come up through the ranks with their dedication and hard work. I admire them. Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpayee Pankaj Tripathi etc. There are many famous personalities in sports, politics and business who have inspirational stories behind them. Edited October 10, 2018 by Number
nikred Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I try to pick good things from various people and try to emulate them as much as possible and move on. Now these people can be anyone - parents, spouse, friends, celebrities, even your kids.With celebrities or otherwise, I stay away from seeing them as role models or some idols. I did as a kid but realized that at times I struggled to justify their actions which were conflicting with my own morality. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
zen Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Who the role model is depends upon context .... someone you don’t know st a personal level would not be a role model for say ethics. On the other hand a professional can be seen an quintessential person in his field hence a role model in that domain riya and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1
Sooda Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 If you class sportspeople as celebs, then maybe. The best Sports people are pretty admirable for their work ethic and determination to be the best, maximise their potential. But I dont think anyone classes actors as role models UrmiSinhaRay and riya 1 1

Is this referring to teh same Shah Nawaz Khan who is alleged to have betrayed Netaji and the INA or do they only share the same name? Edited October 11, 2018 by Moochad UrmiSinhaRay 1
