Vasudha Sabharwal

Getting starstruck upon seeing your favourite celebrity is natural, but what’s unnatural is forgetting boundaries. With pap culture floating around every corner, concepts of privacy and space have become blurry. A news portal thinks it’s okay to click a celebrity sitting in their living room. Fans think it’s alright to hug them without caring to ask.

With the existence of social media and the Internet, the world has become a global village quite literally. But with the need for this constant connection, we seem to be forgetting the value of personal space and how everyone — INCLUDING PUBLIC FIGURES — needs it.
