Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz

Celluloid Pied Pipers
On the face of it, there is no doubt that film stars project their charisma and popularity even onto the electoral arena. In fact, if you look at the South, four people intimately involved with movies have become chief ministers. They are MGR, Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu and NTR in Andhra Pradesh. And don’t be surprised if the Telugu super star Chiranjeevi joins that list in the near future. If Indian democracy can be called a functional anarchy, then surely this breed can be called pseudo Pied Pipers!
Many pundits also contend that this habit of film stars winning effortlessly is a reflection of how immature our democracy still is; that it reveals how voters get swayed more by fantasy than reality. To an extent, this is true. But as a lawyer might argue, it is not the whole truth! Barring the late Sunil Dutt, no personality from Bollywood has commanded stature, respect and recognition as a ‘serious’ politician. Amitabh quit politics in disgust; Rajesh Khanna faded away, as did the TV stars who acted in the serials Mahabharata and Ramayana. Govinda seems to have gone back to David Dhawan, and there are posters in Bikaner that announce an ‘award’ for missing local MP Dharmendra. And we all know what the Supreme Court did with the dreams of Sunjay Dutt.
Remember that dictum about how you can't fool all the people all the time? Well something similar has happened with the other gods in the Indian celebrity pantheon – star cricketers. Read this interesting package for celebrities’ incongruous, and often unsuccessful, love affair with electoral politics.
