As Celebrities are active on their social media pages. It brings them closer to the users like never before. Rural audience relish this kind of access to the stars.”

Interviews, Songs, Trailers, teasers of Celebrity related content garner tremendous engagement. The availability of two-way communication, in the form of likes, comments is partly responsible for this trend. Earlier Claps, whistles were the only way of showering their love for their stars.
