The sight of a die-hard fan going to this extreme to meet her idol is not a fantastic sight. This one is certainly not. Here's a fan, we gather, who is apparently sitting outside an agency to meet her idol, Sidharth Malhotra. This post clearly suggests that the gal in the question is on a hunger strike. She wants to meet Sid. Now this visual may evoke sympathy or even pity. Why can't Sidharth Malhotra just afford to meet her to save her life?

In our opinion, Sidharth should not be giving in to these gimmicks. This is should be equated with an act of arm-twisting or even threatening. If Sidharth happens to meet her it will set a wrong example. Every fan of possibly of every star would resort to this method by manipulating his or her way through!

And there will millions who would start doing this the moment they realise that such stunts work. If fans are really interested in impressing their diols shouldn't they be doing something extraordinary in the related space that their idiol will notice them?  And even if a star doesn't meet the fan, nothing is lost!

This precisely is the reason why Shah Rukh Khan refused to meet a desperate lady fan who waited for SRK to come at an airport and refused to let his car pass. In the end, it is reported, Shah Rukh did not meet her. Even Salman Khan refused a request of a fan who had come to a press conference only to dance with him. These tactics are not just non-sensical they are dangerous! The best Sidharth can do, in our opinion, is to ignore her for the goodness of the celebs and their fans!
