Recently, the drugs case of a Bollywood superstar’s son has divided the internet with the fans and non-fans. Go on any social media site and all you will find is a kind of debate between fans and haters of the superstar. Many are coming up with their own stories of what might have gone wrong and who is the culprit possibly and why all the mess is happening. Some say what they see and others are in their imaginary world with their own findings and research.

To add fuel to this already burning fire, we have news channels and news websites with different updates on “what their sources” are telling them. Read any story on the topic and you will find “reports” as the source of the discussion. When all this is happening and die-hard fans of the superstar are sad, what is more, more unusual is that the discussion is getting dragged till the hearing of the bail.

When the truth is not yet revealed then why so much Tamasha? When no one knows the ultimate truth, not even the judges and the star kid’s family then who are we as a common man to decide to support or not to support. In this infodemic age that we live in, our brains have been wired like a curious news seeker to stay updated all the time.
We cannot control our brains to not type on the Google search to get the latest notifications and updates of what we are eagerly looking for as an answer. The media is making money by writing all the theories and stories that it knows best to keep its audience hooked to get the TRPs and viewership and we as a layman are making all assumptions based on the information that is available with us. Till we really don’t know what is the hidden reason or ultimate truth, we all are just wasting our excess time and fighting on the internet unnecessarily by taking sides.
