Film stars and music celebrities may earn a great deal of money and live in luxurious surroundings, but many of them lead unhappy lives. Do you agree?

To what extent is this the price they pay for being famous?

Everyone desires to be famous and well known around the world. We envy the lives of the glamorous stars and wish we too, could enjoy the same lifestyle. But this comes with its own price.

Celebrities earn huge amount of money. They are able to afford luxurious accommodations, going to fancy restaurants, visit foreign countries and have all the comfortable amenities at their disposal. It won’t be wrong to say that they live a life similar to those belonging to royal families. Moreover, they are idols for the younger generations and get VIP treatment at every place they visit. They are praised and loved by all.

However, being famous has its own drawbacks. To begin with, film stars and music celebrities don’t enjoy the luxury of privacy. They are always flocked by fans and admirers wherever they go. Their private life is infringed upon. People always want to know about their role model’s day to day activities. Many a times these celebrities are stalked by their fans. Hence, although they have all the luxuries most of us can only think of, they lead a very unhappy life. They are not able to make real friends and are lonely. Due to their busy lives they are not able to spend quality time with their families. This solitude leads them to a state of depression. In addition, when they no longer are in public demand, they are often neglected by the crowd. This too creates a feeling of frustration and agony in them. Many of them are lured into drugs and alcohol to overcome their negative feelings.

To sum up, I believe that the life of celebrities is not as rosy as it appears. Although they have the best of all the materialistic things, they crave for a normal life. Hence, they pay a price that is much more than what they receive.
