I could not understand people are so mad of film actor/actresses. this is mainly in Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra. they will watch movie at any cast even if they have to be hungry. they think Film actor/actress as special creatures. Few actors are even worshipped as God. They dont understand that these filmy people make money from ordinary public and live lavishly. They earn in crores whereas common man struglles for single rupee. What a shame.
