\"\u2018The‘The last true blue superstar’_ Rohit Roy praises Ranbir Kapoor’s discipline; says social media. Actor Rohit Roy<\/a> has reflected on how celebrity culture has changed with the rise of social media, arguing that constant access to stars has diminished the mystery that once defined superstardom. Speaking about his three-decade journey in the entertainment industry, Rohit praised Ranbir Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s discipline and limited public presence, calling him the \u201clast true blue superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rohit Roy says social media has reduced the mystery surrounding stars<\/p>\n

During his appearance on the Kindle Cast podcast, Rohit Roy discussed the difference between contemporary celebrities and earlier generations of stars, who often maintained a greater distance from the public. According to the actor, social media has given audiences unprecedented access to celebrities\u2019 personal lives, from their travel plans and daily habits to their preferences and private milestones.\u201cProbably even Shah Rukh is very visible. He is the last of the Mohicans. So, you know, the heady days, the superstardom days of Rajesh Khanna, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan are gone now because everyone knows what toothbrush you\u2019re using, what brand or toothpaste you like, where you are flying off to, everywhere. There used to be this look, that look, the enigma of a star, of an icon to a certain extent,\u201d Rohit said.He suggested that the constant visibility of celebrities has weakened the sense of intrigue that once surrounded major film stars.<\/p>\n

Rohit Roy names Ranbir Kapoor the \u2018last true blue superstar\u2019<\/p>\n

While discussing whether old-school superstardom is still possible, Rohit Roy identified Ranbir Kapoor as his choice for the last true blue superstar. He attributed this largely to the actor\u2019s limited public presence and minimal engagement on social media.\u201cIf you ask me, I think the last true blue superstar will be Ranbir Kapoor. His social media presence is very minimal, at least publicly,\u201d Rohit said.The actor also recalled Ranbir\u2019s humorous explanation for maintaining a limited social media presence. According to Rohit, Ranbir had once said that he primarily used his account to \u201cstalk other people,\u201d a response Rohit described as \u201creally cute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s discipline impresses Rohit Roy<\/p>\n

Rohit went on to praise Ranbir\u2019s professional conduct, describing him as highly disciplined and a talented performer. He noted that audiences rarely get to see the actor outside his professional commitments, which, in his view, has helped preserve his appeal.\u201cOtherwise, when you see him, it\u2019s really rare to get a glimpse of Ranbir. He\u2019s extremely disciplined and a fantastic actor, as we all know. So, I think, in my opinion, he will be, or already is, a superstar who will probably last,\u201d he added.However, Rohit acknowledged that contemporary stars can still generate immense excitement among fans. Citing Ranveer Singh<\/a> as an example, he said, \u201cIf Ranveer Singh shows up anywhere, there\u2019s definitely going to be madness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rohit Roy recalls Suchitra Sen\u2019s enduring mystery<\/p>\n

Rohit Roy also referred to legendary Bengali actor Suchitra Sen while explaining how distance from the public can strengthen a star\u2019s image. He suggested that the limited information available about her personal life contributed to her lasting appeal.\u201cIf there\u2019s no mystery, that\u2019s what made Suchitra Sen special. Why was she such an enduring star? Because nobody really knew what she was doing,\u201d Rohit said.The actor then recalled visiting the home of actresses Riya Sen and Raima Sen when he was younger. He hoped to catch a glimpse of their grandmother, Suchitra Sen, and remembered being deeply affected when she briefly appeared on the balcony.\u201cShe stepped out for a second onto the balcony and I looked over and I was completely blown away. That\u2019s the mystery of a star,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

Rohit Roy says \u2018authenticity itself has become a performance\u2019<\/p>\n

Rohit also questioned whether celebrities can maintain genuine authenticity while remaining constantly connected to their audiences through social media. He observed that fans now expect updates about everything from vacations and professional projects to personal celebrations.According to the actor, this continuous exposure has blurred the line between authentic moments and carefully curated public images.\u201cAuthenticity itself has become a performance. Honestly, there\u2019s no real authenticity anymore,\u201d Rohit said.He added, \u201cActors\u2019 job is to entertain you. I don\u2019t want to tell you how I really feel. So don\u2019t expect that from me. I\u2019ll just show you what you want to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
