distinct identity.
We are talking about the new craze that Aamir
seems to have sparked off in Bollywood. No,
it is not the shaving of the head or refusing
awards, it is as simple as blogging. Well,
blogging was a simple thing just a few a months
back but after Aamir’s personal blog
became very popular with his fans many film
personalities have discovered that it is indeed
a great way to keep in touch with fans, get
constructive feedback and realize certain
ground realities without having to go into
a crowd and running the risk of being mobbed,
as Shriya might know.
So, as an offshoot of Aamir Khan’s
blog we now have three other personalities
who have launched their own. Amrita Rao,
then item girl Koena Mitra and the latest
addition - ace director Kunal Kohli. Now,
each of them claims to be different. And
they are different. Kunal Kohli has said
that he will not use his blog to promote
his films, only to receive feedback from
the audience first hand. Amrita Rao’s
is more of a full-fledged site with filmographies,
biographies etc, while Koena Mitra’s
blog is a lot more personal. It seems like
a means to counter the umpteen number of
stories that keep circulating about her
in the media, all thanks to her item girl
image.
Aamir lead and 3 followed. Any other takers?
