00:00How fake is the life of all these celebrities in reality?
00:03How much truth is there in what you see on social media?
00:07Paid social media trends, paid posts, paid paparazzis, paid podcasts.
00:12This is how the hype of movies is created.
00:14The box office collections of movies that you see,
00:17a lot of nonsense is done in them as well.
00:21Hello, friends.
00:22Have you ever noticed that these are Bollywood actors and celebrities?
00:24Whenever and wherever they go,
00:26a crowd of paparazzis with a camera in their hands is always following them.
00:30Whether they are going to the airport at 11 at night to catch a flight,
00:34or they are coming out of the gym in the afternoon after working out.
00:38Someone or the other is always there to click their photos.
00:41They also go to the market to shop.
00:42It's quite a coincidence that paparazzi are also there to click their photos.
00:48Forget this, if they start travelling in an auto rickshaw instead of a car,
00:52this becomes a news headline.
00:54It's very strange.
00:55Even I often travel in an auto rickshaw in the Delhi metro.
00:58But no newspaper has ever published such a headline for me.
01:01And neither have I ever seen a paparazzi in my life.
01:04But it's not just about me.
01:06You must have never seen this happening for most YouTubers.
01:09And there are some very popular Bollywood actors
01:11with whom this happens.
01:13What a coincidence!
01:14On the other hand, the faces of some completely unknown people
01:17are repeatedly shown to us by paparazzis.
01:20On social media, in newspapers.
01:21To the extent that they themselves become famous because of it.
01:25Or it can be said that they are made famous.
01:29In today's video, let's understand
01:31how true and how fake is this glamorous world of celebrities.
01:41Today, paparazzi is used for those people
01:44whose job is to click photos of celebrities and high-profile people.
01:48In India, they are these people.
01:52Click this side.
02:03This word paparazzi is actually a plural.
02:05Its singular is paparazzo.
02:07And it's also very interesting to know how it originated.
02:10In 1960, an Italian film was released.
02:13La Dolce Vita.
02:14In this film, a side character's name was Paparazzo.
02:17Who was a very annoying but fearless reporter
02:20who was ready to go to any extent
02:22to click photos of celebrities.
02:24The film's director tells in his autobiography
02:26why he chose the word paparazzo.
02:29Because it's an Italian slang.
02:31Which means a big, noisy mosquito.
02:34He said that to show the reporter's personality,
02:37this was the right word.
02:39Just like a mosquito, it keeps buzzing around your ears.
02:42Sometimes it bites, sometimes it annoys.
02:45That news reporter is also like that.
02:50How was the meeting?
02:51This is not the right place to talk.
02:53Let's not disturb them.
02:54How was the meeting between you and Nitish Ji?
02:56I don't have a comment on anything.
02:58Why was the meeting nice?
02:59Did you get Nitish Ji's blessings?
03:01Is he okay? Is he happy?
03:02Why is this not the right time to talk?
03:04We'll speak to someone.
03:05Everything is fine, that's all.
03:06In the same way, whenever you do web browsing,
03:08you are followed by a lot of online trackers.
03:11Whatever data you leave behind,
03:13it is used on the internet
03:15by advertisers to target you.
03:18But at least it is easy to avoid this
03:21by simply using a VPN.
03:23While using a VPN, you can hide your IP address.
03:26Which means that while web browsing,
03:28no one will be able to track you.
03:30In my opinion, one of the best VPN apps is NordVPN,
03:32which I also use.
03:34With NordVPN, you can also spoof your location.
03:37In some countries, some content, some websites
03:39are often blocked.
03:41Those restrictions can be bypassed
03:43by changing your location.
03:45Recently, NordVPN has also launched its new eSIM service
03:49Through this, while traveling the world,
03:51you can switch carriers
03:53and pay very low roaming charges.
03:55The amount of data you use,
03:56you have to pay only for that.
03:58And the best thing here is that
03:59NordVPN is giving you a big voucher.
04:0120 GB data on Seli's eSIM.
04:04This is more data than the monthly data of most mobile plans.
04:08On this link, you will get a huge discount
04:10on buying a VPN.
04:11Plus, you will get 4 additional free months of this VPN.
04:15And plus, you will get a 20 GB eSIM data card.
04:18You can check out at nordvpn.com and Dhruv.
04:21Now, let's come back to the topic.
04:23In the 1961 Time magazine,
04:25a feature article was written on paparazzi
04:27which made the word paparazzi even more popular.
04:31In that article, paparazzi was called
04:33a pack of hungry wolves.
04:35There was a very simple reason behind this.
04:37In those days, the culture of paparazzi was known for this.
04:40Secretly taking photos of celebrities,
04:44without their permission,
04:45without valuing their privacy.
04:47Going after celebrities everywhere
04:49to get their photos.
04:50In 1997, the infamous car accident of Princess Diana
04:54in which she died,
04:56it was reported all over the world.
04:57A big reason behind this was told to paparazzi.
05:01That night, paparazzi's cars were chasing her car.
05:05In an attempt to escape from them,
05:07their driver accelerated the car.
05:09Because of this, their car entered the tunnel
05:12and collided with a pillar.
05:13Because of this incident all over the world,
05:15questions were raised about paparazzi's ethical boundaries.
05:18But in India, in the 1990s,
05:20the culture of paparazzi was just beginning.
05:23After the economic liberalization of 1991,
05:26along with international brands,
05:27tabloid culture also came to India.
05:29Magazines like Stardust, Midday, Bombay Times and Page 3
05:33started becoming popular.
05:34Yogen Shah is known as India's first paparazzo.
05:37In those days, when there was no internet and social media,
05:39the business model of paparazzi was very clear.
05:42Take candid photos of popular celebrities
05:44that no one has seen before.
05:46And sell these photos to magazines and tabloids.
05:48People were also very interested in this.
05:51Because there was no social media,
05:52celebrities didn't get a lot of exposure.
05:55The general public was curious to know
05:58how these celebrities live their lives.
06:00How do they stay at home?
06:02What do they do?
06:03Because of this, this culture became popular.
06:05But today, after the advent of social media,
06:07the whole system has turned upside down.
06:09Now, for paparazzi,
06:11taking money directly from celebrities
06:13to click their photos has become a new model.
06:16I'm not kidding.
06:17A lot of paparazzi openly admit this today.
06:20Smaller stars do call you, right?
06:21They send messages on media groups.
06:23They're even ready to pay.
06:24And they say, please shoot us.
06:26Give us a name.
06:27Everybody who's new,
06:28even everybody who's made it also,
06:31will always start off, right?
06:33The paparazzi thing is commercialized now.
06:36In a very big way.
06:37Now, two types of models have been created here.
06:39One is the so-called celebrities
06:41who want publicity
06:42and pay paparazzi for their PR and publicity.
06:46And the other is the top A-list real celebrities
06:49who don't need publicity.
06:51Who never want to pay for their photos.
06:54But still, there's a demand to see their photos in public.
06:57To see private, candid photos.
06:59So paparazzi secretly click their photos.
07:02In the second category,
07:03there are people like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Virat Kohli.
07:06Why don't you take it, sir?
07:07Why don't you take it, sir?
07:08Wait a minute.
07:09No, no, no.
07:10No, no, no, sir.
07:11Hey, camera.
07:12Don't be scared, ma'am.
07:13Sir, sir.
07:14Sir, sir.
07:15Sir, please, sir.
07:16Please come to our bedroom.
07:18But the question here is,
07:20how many photos you see in social media,
07:22in newspapers, of celebrities,
07:24are authentic?
07:25And how much money is spent on PR photos?
07:28Manav Manglani said in his interview
07:30that this ratio is 30-70.
07:32But in my opinion,
07:33this ratio is actually 90-10.
07:3590% of the things you see on social media,
07:38on TV, in newspapers,
07:39about these celebrities,
07:41are paid promotion,
07:42fake acting,
07:44and only 10% is authentic.
07:46Why am I saying this?
07:47You'll understand this if you watch the video.
07:49Think about it.
07:50In a celebrity's life,
07:51how many things you see publicly,
07:54are paid promotion, PR,
07:56and how many are authentic and real?
07:58Secondly, notice when these celebrities
08:00give podcasts and interviews.
08:0290% of celebrities give podcasts
08:04only when their movies are about to be released.
08:08And if we talk about those social media pages
08:10that regularly post about Bollywood and celebrities,
08:13even there,
08:14it can be difficult for you to identify them.
08:17But a lot of posts are often PR
08:20and paid promotion.
08:21Sometimes, you just see a clear proof of this.
08:24Like on this Instagram page of Instant Bollywood,
08:26look at this 2-year-old post.
08:28What's written in the caption?
08:29Hi, can you please use this picture
08:31and mention hashtag Divya Khosla Kumar?
08:33This is BTS of her recently released song,
08:36hashtag designer.
08:37Whatever caption was written in the back,
08:39they just copy-pasted it by mistake.
08:43Although, this post was corrected later.
08:45But this should give you an idea
08:47that a lot of posts that you see on social media,
08:50on such accounts,
08:52are PR.
08:53How many times have you noticed
08:54on Thursdays and Fridays,
08:55whenever a new movie is released in the cinema halls,
08:58the hashtag of that movie is trending on Twitter.
09:01If you click on that hashtag,
09:02you will see a lot of tweets
09:04that are praising that movie.
09:06Like, look at these tweets.
09:08Rocky and Rani's love story
09:09when the movie was released.
09:11All these reviews came from that movie.
09:13And these accounts tweeted on Twitter.
09:15And all of them have used the same language.
09:18They have used the same phrases.
09:20Because the thing was, friends,
09:22that all these tweets were fake.
09:24These accounts were being handled by a PR company.
09:26This doesn't mean that it was a useless or a flop movie.
09:29When I saw this movie,
09:30I genuinely liked it.
09:31And I praised it publicly on Twitter.
09:33Without taking any money.
09:35But this fake work on social media,
09:37let's look at it in detail as an example.
09:40One of these accounts is this one.
09:41By the name of Sapna.
09:42If you click on this account,
09:44and look at its tweets below,
09:45you will see that a lot of tweets have been made by it.
09:48On 4th June, this account was tweeting
09:50with the hashtag, The Narrative on TOI.
09:52Promoting Times of India.
09:54But below that,
09:55on 4th June, it also promoted ABP News.
09:57If you scroll down a bit,
09:58you will see the hashtag, TOI Counting Day.
10:01If you scroll further down,
10:02the hashtag, Results with Decoder.
10:04Another separate platform was promoted.
10:07Scroll a bit more.
10:08Look at this PR tweet of 1st June.
10:10Hashtag, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi Review.
10:13This movie has been given a good review.
10:15Below this,
10:16hashtag, IDFC First Bank Best.
10:18If you scroll further,
10:19you will see every other tweet
10:21promoting a movie or a company.
10:24These PR accounts are often handled by PR companies.
10:27And by looking at these tweets,
10:28anyone can understand that
10:30they are being paid for the promotion.
10:32On 25th May,
10:33this one account promoted
10:35voting for BJP,
10:37voting for Congress,
10:38and voting for Kejriwal.
10:40Look at these tweets.
10:41Hashtag, Delhi with Kejriwal.
10:43Below that, there is another tweet.
10:44Hashtag, Our Vote for BJP.
10:46If you scroll further down,
10:47you will see the tweet of 18th May.
10:49Hashtag, The Most Solid Priyanka Interview.
10:51Where Priyanka Gandhi is being praised.
10:54And from this,
10:55the last tweet is
10:56Hashtag, Delhi with Modi.
10:58Delhi, It's Support Modi.
10:59These PR companies
11:00give their contracts to different political parties
11:03and get their work done
11:04from the same account.
11:06I would like to tell all these political parties
11:08to open their eyes.
11:09There is no point in wasting money on these things.
11:12But if we come back to celebrities,
11:14more than celebrities,
11:15probably someone uses these PR companies.
11:17Hashtag, Mr. & Mahi Review.
11:20If you click on that tweet,
11:21you will get more tweets like this.
11:23You get to see another account like this.
11:25Nisha Saini 32.
11:27Most likely,
11:28the profile pic used
11:29is of any such girl.
11:31If you scroll on this Twitter timeline,
11:33you will see the same things.
11:34There is more than one promotion.
11:36Paid Social Media Trends,
11:37Paid Posts,
11:38Paid Paparazzis,
11:39Paid Podcasts.
11:40In this way,
11:41the hype of films is created.
11:43But it doesn't stop here.
11:44Another new trend has started these days.
11:46Corporate Bookings.
11:48Corporate Booking means
11:49when these producers
11:50book their own films
11:52and distribute them
11:53to companies or corporates.
11:55This is called Promotional Activities,
11:57Employee Engagement
11:58or Client Entertainment.
12:00But in reality,
12:01what they are doing
12:02is basically creating the hype of the film.
12:04Before the release of the film,
12:05buy the tickets yourself for 2-3 days
12:07so that it feels like
12:08this film is running house full.
12:09A lot of people want to watch this film.
12:11So people should be motivated
12:13that yes, we also want to go and watch this film.
12:15According to this article,
12:16in 2023,
12:17a family entertainer Bollywood film
12:19spent INR 20 crores
12:21on Corporate Bookings.
12:23Apart from this,
12:24in the end of 2023,
12:25two films spent INR 70 crores
12:27on Corporate Bookings.
12:29See what is written here.
12:30The shows of these films
12:31on BookMyShow
12:32looked house full.
12:33But there was no audience
12:34in the hall.
12:36The question here is
12:37that if corporate bookings
12:38of films are done in this way,
12:40then the box office collections
12:42that are shown to you,
12:43the box office numbers
12:44that you see in the films,
12:45how true are they?
12:46And without this paid hype,
12:48what will be the real performance of the film?
12:50This has been explained in detail
12:51in this article of News24.
12:53One is self-booking
12:54where individuals
12:55use their personal money
12:57to increase the box office numbers
12:59of their films.
13:00But in corporate bookings,
13:01a film star works
13:02with 4-5 brands.
13:04Those companies are requested
13:05to buy the tickets.
13:07They distribute these tickets
13:08among their employees
13:09and in this way,
13:10the box office numbers
13:11can be increased.
13:12So the hype of the film is fake.
13:13The hype of the celebrity is fake.
13:15The box office numbers of the film are fake.
13:17And later,
13:18the awards given for the film
13:19are also often fake.
13:21Look at this old clip of Shah Rukh Khan.
13:23When a person has a want,
13:25a desire,
13:26he becomes very cheap.
13:28I want this,
13:29I want this,
13:30I want this,
13:31I want a car,
13:32I want a bungalow,
13:33I want this.
13:34So I have a lot of desire for awards.
13:35So I was very desperate
13:36to get a Best Actor award.
13:37So I went to the editor.
13:38And I said,
13:39Sir, I am a very cheap person.
13:40I want this award.
13:41And if you take money,
13:42then I will also give you money.
13:44He is talking about
13:45how he tried to bribe
13:46an editor of an award show
13:47once
13:48so that he gets the award.
13:50So I went and told him,
13:51Sir, give me the award.
13:52He said,
13:53such awards are not given to us.
13:54If you are good,
13:55then the public
13:56gets it.
13:57They will give a tick mark and send it.
13:58And if you are good,
13:59then you will get it.
14:00Now, at that time,
14:01this bribe was not successful.
14:02But today,
14:03almost every industry
14:04is accused
14:05of how awards
14:06are bought and sold.
14:08The credibility of these award shows
14:09is almost over.
14:11Watch this clip of Alia Bhatt.
14:15Okay, I will say thank you
14:16to Jitesh.
14:17I will say thank you to Filmfare.
14:18Thank you, Anu.
14:19I literally told Jitesh that
14:20when he said,
14:21you know, you are coming for
14:22my Glamour and Style Awards
14:23is happening on the 3rd.
14:24You have to come.
14:25I said, okay, I am coming.
14:26Just give me an award.
14:27Like, I don't even know
14:28which award I was getting.
14:29You all can cut that out.
14:30But that's the truth.
14:32Thank you for
14:33giving me this award.
14:34She was openly confessing
14:36that how could she not attend
14:37this award show
14:38if she was not given
14:39the award.
14:40Once again,
14:41personally, I have no
14:42enmity with Alia Bhatt.
14:43But the point here is that
14:44if things happen like this,
14:46then what credibility
14:47is left in award shows.
14:49Today, you must have
14:50also noticed that
14:51these award shows
14:52make any category
14:53of their choice.
14:54Earlier, there were
14:55awards like Best Actor,
14:56Best Film,
14:57Best Director.
14:58And now,
14:59look at the categories
15:00of Zee Cine Awards
15:01of 2024.
15:02Hot and Techy
15:03Performer of the Year Award.
15:04Nothing to Hide Award.
15:06This year, we are going
15:07to introduce a new award
15:08in Star Screen Awards.
15:10The Nothing to Hide Award.
15:11What kind of awards are these?
15:12Will you make anything
15:13and keep talking?
15:14By the way, this thing
15:15is not limited to
15:16only the film industry.
15:17Influencer Awards
15:18are also like this.
15:19Entrepreneur India's
15:20Influencer Awards
15:21of 2024.
15:22Trendsetter of the Year.
15:23Best Newcomer
15:24of the Year.
15:25Rising Star of the Year.
15:26Young Influencer
15:27of the Year.
15:28Cosmopolitan Blogger
15:29Awards of 2024.
15:31Fashion Influencer Award.
15:33Emerging Fashion
15:34Influencer Award.
15:35Luxury Fashion
15:36Influencer Award.
15:37It seems like
15:38new categories
15:39are being made
15:40so that everyone
15:41gets some award.
15:42Now look at me.
15:43I have more than
15:4420 million subscribers.
15:45But till date,
15:46I haven't got
15:47any Influencer Award.
15:48Do you know why?
15:49It's not like
15:50I don't get invitations.
15:51Often these award companies
15:52email me
15:53that we will give you
15:54this award.
15:55But they always
15:56have a condition
15:57that they expect
15:58something in return.
15:59If not money directly,
16:00then they expect
16:01indirect promotion.
16:02On top of that,
16:03how many awards
16:04are being bought
16:05and how many awards
16:06are being given
16:07only for publicity.
16:08It is said that
16:09in the film industry,
16:10an actor like Aamir Khan
16:11has not attended
16:12any award function
16:13in the last 20 years.
16:14The truth is, friends,
16:15if we come back
16:16to the topic of paparazzi,
16:17then most of the
16:18Bollywood celebrities
16:19and actors can
16:20easily maintain
16:21their privacy
16:22if they want to.
16:23This is the reason
16:24that you will never
16:25get to see
16:26the paparazzi photos
16:27of some celebrities.
16:28But on the other hand,
16:29there will be some
16:30celebrities whose
16:31paparazzi photos
16:32will be seen
16:33on social media,
16:34newspapers,
16:35and TV every day.
16:36The biggest example
16:37of paparazzi
16:38is Kim Kardashian.
16:39It is even said
16:40that the paparazzi
16:41photos taken by her
16:42are edited
16:43and returned
16:44to her
16:45before publishing.
16:46Have you seen
16:47this article?
16:48People are accusing
16:49Kim Kardashian
16:50that her latest
16:51paparazzi photos
16:52are actually
16:53edited.
16:54Or her sister Kylie Jenner
16:55whose actual candid
16:56photos went viral
16:57after the COVID lockdown.
16:58But she didn't want
16:59anyone to see
17:00these real photos
17:01so immediately
17:02after that,
17:03she did this
17:04fake candid
17:05paparazzi photoshoot.
17:06In this fake world
17:07of celebrities,
17:08there are some
17:09genuine exceptions.
17:10There are some cases
17:11where actually
17:12some celebrities
17:13are fed up
17:14with these paparazzi photos.
17:15Like Jaya Bachchan's
17:16paparazzi videos.
17:21You can clearly
17:22understand
17:23that she doesn't
17:24like this at all.
17:25There was an incident
17:26about Alia Bhatt
17:27where some paparazzi
17:28took photos
17:29inside her house.
17:30Many such cases
17:31have been seen
17:32where many people
17:33shamelessly
17:34ignored the
17:35truth.
17:36Virat Kohli's
17:37one such video
17:38went viral
17:39where someone
17:40took a video
17:41of his hotel
17:42room,
17:43went inside
17:44and showed
17:45his stuff
17:46in a video
17:47and made it
17:48public.
17:49Many celebrities
17:50take tough steps
17:51to prevent
17:52such things from
17:53happening.
17:54Like Katrina Kaif
17:55and Vicky Kaushal's
17:56wedding.
17:57Allegedly,
17:58people were not
17:59allowed to
18:00click any
18:01photos inside
18:02the venue.
18:03No paparazzi
18:04was allowed
18:05inside the venue.
18:06There are many
18:07ways that
18:08celebrities use
18:09to protect
18:10their privacy.
18:11Hollywood celebrities
18:12like Beyonc├й,
18:13Paris Hilton
18:14and Nick Jonas
18:15use an anti-paparazzi
18:16scarf which
18:17blocks your
18:18photo.
18:19If the photo
18:20is clicked,
18:21it looks
18:22like this
18:23after wearing
18:24this anti-paparazzi
18:25scarf.
18:26Taylor Swift
18:27also uses
18:28a decoy car
18:29to protect
18:30herself from
18:31paparazzi.
18:32But what
18:33happens
18:34is that
18:35people become
18:36unrealistic
18:37expectations
18:38about their
18:39appearance,
18:40success
18:41and happiness.
18:42Some people
18:43get cosmetic
18:44surgeries done
18:45to look like
18:46celebrities.
18:47They think
18:48that's the
18:49ideal look.
18:50Take the
18:51case of
18:52an Iranian woman
18:53who apparently
18:54got cosmetic
18:55procedures done
18:56to look like
18:57Angelina Jolie.
18:58Although she
18:59later claimed
19:00that this look
19:01was not real,
19:02some people
19:03start worshipping
19:04dangerous fans.
19:05For example,
19:06a fan of Kannad actor
19:07Yash who
19:08burned himself
19:09with fire
19:10because he couldn't
19:11meet the actor
19:12on his birthday.
19:13This fake
19:14glamorous hype
19:15is now
19:16costing the
19:17film industry.
19:18If genuine
19:19actors don't
19:20promote genuine
19:21films,
19:22people will
19:23lose interest
19:24in this industry.
19:25People can
19:26watch films
19:27once or twice
19:28due to this
19:29fake hype.
19:30But if
19:31we show
19:32an inauthentic
19:33image on social
19:34media,
19:35people will
19:36tolerate it
19:37for a while.
19:38After that,
19:39people will
19:40say that
19:41it's enough.
19:42I have a simple
19:43lesson for you.
19:44Watch films
19:45and enjoy.
19:46But there is
19:47no need
19:48to waste
19:49time in
19:50this fake
19:51world of
19:52celebrities.
19:53You won't
19:54get anything
19:55from this.
19:56And especially
19:57don't waste
19:58time in
19:59shows like
20:00this.
