Asian idols are not as important in society as they are made out to be.

Sat, 05 May 2012 05:08:59 +0000

Asian idols are on the rise. They have been in the headlines. They are starting to break into the mainstream pop culture. With this popularity comes a countless number of fans. However, are idols really as important as society makes them out to be? Are idols really worth all the praise that is given to them?

Idolising idols is a great waste. While there may be nothing wrong with listening to songs once in a while, it can also easily turn into an addiction. From merely listening to songs of a favourite idol or band, it can easily turn into looking up their information and other works (to hear more of them), searching for their pictures (to stick up in their rooms or display as backgrounds for their computer screens), reading gossip magazines or websites (to see what their idols are up to), etc. This, uses up a lot of time which cannot be brought back, can it not? In order to attend an idol’s concert, buy fan merchandise and ‘fan rice’, it is also wasting endless amounts of money which will not easily be earned back. Clearly, this is an obsession which must stop occurring. Teenagers and early adults are still in school and should not be focussing so much time on idols and things which are in relation to idols. Instead, they should focus on more on school and those who are close to them such as friends and family. Idols are a waste of time as they are not as important as the fans make them out to be.

Most Asian celebrities are multi-talented, making them great role models for their fans. Nowadays, most Asian idols know not only how to model, sing and dance, but also to play musical instruments, compose their own songs and even write their own lyrics. Some of these idols have even launched their own acting career. Korean romantic comedy and music drama ‘Dream High’ (2011) was popular not only among Koreans, but also many international fans. Although the acting could have been better, it has successfully boosted the names of many of its idol-turned-actors. Due to its popularity, ‘Dream High 2’, which recently broadcasted its last episode, had again, most of its cast being idols rather than professional actors. These talented people inspire fans to become more like them, to study hard in school and strive hard to achieve their goals. Many fans have admitted that they went to learn a new language so that if they ever got to meet their idols they would be able to converse with them in their native tongue, while other fans have strived to become more like their idols by learning to sing, dance and take up music.

However, idols can also have a bad influence on their fans. Idols are looked upon not only for their talents, but also more often than not, their outer appearance. Female and male idols, (in particular Korean idols), have admitted to getting plastic surgery done. Some of the most common surgeries are the double eyelid surgery and nose job. Due to ‘popular’ fashion trends, these young stars are often seen in rather revealing and sometimes even borderline offensive clothing. One such case is of Tiffany’s (SNSD) shorts. Several netizens have criticised Tiffany’s short shorts for being too short. There were several shots where Tiffany’s shorts, which rest right below her bottom, easily rode up her bottom, revealing her butt cheeks when she started dancing. SNSD are role models for many young girls around the world and should be setting a good example to the girls that look up to them.

While idols do have positive impacts on society, more often than not, idolising idols waste the time and money of their fans and idols persuade their fans to do certain things and follow certain trends. We do not need idols to tell the youth of today what to do and not to do. The fans’ infatuated idolism is not necessary as Asian idols are not as important as society makes them out to be.

Aishwarya Rai is Having Twins by IVF Method

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 21:29:32 +0000

Aishwarya Rai is an Indian actress and former Miss World. She is married to Abhishek Bachchan, son of the superstar Amitabh Bachchan. She is said to be one of the most beautiful woman in the world. Julia Roberts has called her the most beautiful woman in the world.

After a long time waiting, she is finally pregnant and expecting a child.

Here are ten shocking facts about her:

1. She was born on November 1, 1973 in Mangalore, Karnataka. Her parents are Krishnaraj Rai and Brinda Rai. She has one elder brother, Aditya Rai. Contrary to what people say, she is not a Brahmin or from a Brahmin family or Bengali. Her family origin lies in the Shakas race who were from Central Asia and worshipped snakes.

2. She was a brilliant student. She wanted to become an architect but dropped out of her architecture course to pursue modelling. She did her first ad for Camelin industries.

3. In the Miss India contest, she won the second place behind Sushmita Sen. Sushmita Sen has said that many contestants dropped out of the contest because Aishwarya was too beautiful.

4. She went on to win the Miss World title the same year, where she also won the Miss Photogenic award. She is said to be a typical Scorpio and very sharp, indomitable with a great temper. Her husband has said that the one flaw in her is that she is a little disorganised (On Koffee with Karan, 2010)

5. She knows several languages, her mother tongue Tulu, as well as Hindi, English, Marathi and Tamil.

6. She is said to be of Kurgi origin who are probably descended from Shakas from Afghanistan or Kyrgiztan or Central Asia. Her mysterious grey- green eyes and perfect features are a legacy of her ancestry. Her marriage was according to the customs of Bunt community.

7. Rai made her acting debut in Mani Ratnam’s movie Iruvar in 1997 with Mohanlal. The film featured the song “Poovukkul” in which she is compared to the seven wonders of the world and described as the eighth. The film was India’s official entry to the Academy Awards.

8. Despite her beauty she had to undergo a struggle period before Hum dil de chuke sanam opposite Salman Khan which was a superhit. She was allegedly a victim of violence of Salman Khan. An audio tape, allegedly of her was also released in media where he abused her.

9. She was said to be in a relationship with Sabeer Bhatia, the founder of Hotmail, Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi before getting married to Abhishek Bachchan who is a year younger than her. She is probably the only Bollywood actress, besides Nargis who married a younger man. Generally they marry men who are much older or divorced.

10. She has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and the David Letterman show. She has also appeared in international movies like The Pink Panther 2, Mistress of spices and Bride and Prejudice. However her internatinal forays have not seen much success. She makes a visit to the Cannes film festival every year as brand ambassador of Loreal cosmetics.

Aishwarya Rai
