Most troublesome was my appearance in the Lilly soap advertisement. Everyone used to call me Lilly after that. When I went to shop I was charged extra and had no other option but to buy products at a higher price. It still happens.
The thing that bothers me most is that I just can’t go and sit at a roadside Fuchka and enjoy a snack. A mob appears out of nowhere. Roaming around in rickshaws is also impossible. Once I went to Gausia, but soon a crowd started following me, forcing me to flee.
Even when I am flying somewhere, people come up to me and ask for my autograph. I think to myself that even mid-air is not hassle free; where should I go?
Being a celebrity changes one’s personal life. I can’t do whatever I want like a normal human being. At times like these I feel down and think the troubles of stardom are more than the benefits.
Another problem is people want to take snaps with me wherever I go. They just use their cell phones and some even have the audacity to not ask permission.
Overall the positive sides cancel out the trouble. Without fame I wouldn’t have had so much love from people. This makes the hassles worth it.
