Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

We all work hard to achieve our goals and dreams and maybe, even be famous for it. What most people don’t realize is sometimes the idea of being famous is better than the reality.

While there are undeniable rewards associated with fame, it can also be a bit of a challenge. Anchors, artistes, actors and actresses are familiar with both sides of the coin. Some of them have had to endure uncomfortable conversations with fans about places they may have been, means of transport they used or even where they reside.

What may seem like ordinary or mundane tasks to the average person can be riddled with uncertainties for famous folks.

If a ‘celebrity’ forgets what they do is just a job like any other, the individual sets certain standards for himself and constantly tries to outdo them. The perception of the individual also plays a huge role.

The misconception that you don’t belong when people begin pointing fingers at you may lead to drastic changes in lifestyle habits. People who tend to withdraw from the public by living extremely private lives are more often under the most scrutiny from the public. The notion the public creates about them is that they are some kind of a ‘god’ without any flaws.
