Small Screen, large lures: look before You Leap

                                           

With the advent of cable television, the small screen is now gained almost as much stardom as the big screen. Last 15-20 years saw a revolution in the essential character of the small screen. From the sedate national channels to the flamboyant cable ones, television has metamorphosed it self in the last decade. This metamorphosis has resulted in severe competition as well as success for the small screen artists.
Taking a candid and intelligent approach
Lot is heard now-a-days about people leaving their successful careers in respective fields in order to be small screen artists and get recognition, success and stardom. With the exponential success of the TV serials more and more young stars are joining this field and emerging as celebrities. While it sounds rosy to hear about the stardom and success of these hitherto ordinary people, the pathway of this kind of success has always been mildewed. Both the film and television industry are infested with cons waiting on prowl to take advantage of the aspiring actor/actresses. The inexperience and hunger for instant recognition and success of the wannabe actors and actresses often land them into the traps skillfully laid by the cons. So it becomes very important for the aspiring artists to be very cautious while embarking on an acting career. A proper homework on the whereabouts of the reputed and authentic persons in this field can prove to be quite handy to people choosing acting as their career. Any lucrative offer at the inchoate of one’s acting career must be treated skeptically as those kinds of offers normally bamboozles in the end.
Reality shows: the inside story
While talking of cons, it must be said that the reality shows are inundated with them. The reality show business in itself is somewhat shrouded, as the reality factor of such shows are to be doubted. The singing and laughter shows are still ok. But the ones that deal with the very idea of trying to make money at the cost of humiliation and suffering of others itself sound immoral. In such cases it becomes the responsibility of the contestants who volunteer and sign in such shows to be sensible about what they are opting, and whether that can spell trouble (physical or mental) to them or to others. The reality shows at times prove to be a threat to the participant’s lives. In their quest for money and popularity the organizers of such shows even put the participants at danger, at times even life threats. It’s also important to be aware of the reputations of the channel and the production house before signing the contract. Total understanding of the contract before signing it is also of utter importance.
The art of balancing                     
Once the acting career of any actor gets rolling, problems of completely different nature come to the fore. The change that comes over an artist’s life leaves the people close to him at an emotional crisis. The hitherto close friend or companion suddenly appears remote and this feeling results in stress in both the person’s life. Such situations are to be tackled very sensibly and with utmost sensitivity. Loved ones are always very special in everyone’s life and they should be treasured life long. No amount of success can replace the warmth and love of the friends and relatives. So it must be kept in mind that success is instant but relationships are forever: while basking in the success of recognition and stardom one has to keep their feet firmly on the ground. Success or moving ahead in life is definitely something to be coveted, but it must be kept in mind that the success should on usher in pain or trouble to people who are close to us. In our country this kind of situation occurs predominantly among women, as we live in a predominantly male dominated society. When a woman gets more success than her male counterpart, the vicious male ego immediately starts working, thus creating a stress in the relationship. An intelligible handling of the situation by giving as much time and comfort level as possible to one’s partner can solve such issues easily.
The secret of success
Every career has its own professional hazards, and professionals in their respective fields need to deal with them. In today’s world of rat race and cut throat competition no amount of success comes easily. Film or television industry is no exception. Rather the stardom involved in these fields makes it a more tough and competitive place. Most of the apparent success stories have a gruesome story to tell. But that doesn’t mean that people in this field have only negative things to share. The very fact of emerging a celebrity from an ordinary person is in itself gripping and worth taking the way however rocky it might be. Besides, with an intelligent, focused and sensible approach towards one’s career and success and also with proper understanding between individual job and personal relationship, anyone can emerge successful both in professional and personal lives.
