Vaishnavi Ganatra: With fame comes a whole lot of responsibility

Be it Johnny Depp-Amber Heard's defamation trial or Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas becoming parents via surrogacy, these celeb stories, among many others, make headlines.

And, it is often seen how every such incident leads to people judging these known names without knowing the truth that lies behind.

Actress Vaishnavi Ganatra feels judging a person without knowing the truth is absolutely wrong. The 'Woh Toh Hain Albelaa' actor shares that in showbiz, every single person has an opinion. And with opinions, come the rights to express them.

"People have the power to judge anyone and anything that they want. Although, it is important to learn the facts before assuming. Being a public figure gives us access to more people anyway, compared to a normal person who has a day-to-day routine. They have a certain impression of celebrities in their heads and they are very quick to judge when we make a move apart from what they have imagined."

She continues: "We are always in the limelight. Even the slightest of moves that you make regarding your personal life, or may it be your hair or body or literally anything related to you, there are going to be people who will judge you for the choices and decisions you make, which again, is their decision."

"We can't stop them. There are two groups of people, the ones who will respect your decisions and privacy, and others who will invade it just so that they can give their opinions. You have to decide which ones to pay attention to. I feel constructive criticism should be our focus."

Vaishnavi is yet to face any sort of public scrutiny. However, she is aware it can happen any time as controversies and the hate is always going to stay, no matter how good a person is.
