Some users criticized her for not stopping, while others defended her right to personal space in a public place.<\/p>\n
Rekha’s airport video goes viral<\/p>\n
India Today reported that the resurfaced video quickly drew attention after a social media user claimed that the fan had waited six hours to meet Rekha. The user wrote, \u201cJust look at Rekha here.\u201dThe post further claimed, \u201cA fan waited 6 hours just to meet her, and she still ignored her to go pose for the paparazzi instead.\u201d The same user added, \u201cI still don\u2019t understand why people are so obsessed with Bollywood celebs when most of them don\u2019t even value their fans.\u201dThe video triggered strong reactions. Some users called out Rekha\u2019s conduct and said the fan deserved better. One user commented, \u201cServes her right\u2026.ignorance is what she shd get when you give importance to any tucha pucha people who do not make any contributions to ur life (sic).\u201d <\/p>\n
Internet divided over Rekha-fan selfie row<\/p>\n
Others supported Rekha and said fans should respect boundaries. One user wrote, \u201cI\u2019m with Rekha here. Have some self respect. She didn\u2019t ask you to wait for 6hours at the airport. Stopping doing this bullshit and go take care of your family and yourself (sic).\u201dSome users questioned the claim that the fan waited for six hours. One wrote, \u201cHow do you know fan was waiting for 6 hours you were also waiting(sic)?\u201d Another said, \u201cDon\u2019t blame Rakha, she probably doesn\u2019t even know whether the fan had been waiting for hours or had just arrived. The real problem is people willingly standing outside for 6 hours just to greet a celebrity instead of using that valuable time productively (sic).\u201dA third user added, \u201cHow would Rekha know they waited 6 hours ? She just now exited the airport. Also there is no guarantee they waited 6 hours .. also airport is no location for fans and meet and greet. There were no promises made (sic).\u201dThe clip has restarted a familiar debate around celebrity culture, fan expectations, paparazzi coverage and personal boundaries. Airports often attract fans and photographers, but public appearances do not always mean stars have agreed to meet people waiting there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran actor Rekha is at the center of an online debate after an old video from Mumbai airport…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[201618,80565,93,61,60,270,201620,201619,201616,201614,201615,201617],"class_list":["post-466283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bollywood-fans-expectations","tag-celebrity-culture","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-mumbai-airport-video","tag-paparazzi-behavior","tag-personal-boundaries-celebrities","tag-rekha-airport-video","tag-rekha-fan-selfie-controversy","tag-rekha-social-media-debate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
