So I'm staying in Hyderabad since more than an year and getting educated telugu culture and language, the people are really calm and educated, but there's one unsettling thing about them that creeps me out. I.E their complete subjugation to some or the other actor.

They call themselves proudly as "TFI Banisa Bathuka" which translates into " Proud slave of Telugu films and Actors for eternity".

See, I can understand that people can be fans of a celebrity or a cricketer or a footballer, but this is a different kind of craziness. They even worship the 5-10 year old kids of these stars and fight on their names, say that they are waiting to see Paavn kalyan, mahesh and allu's sons to become heroes( then they can worship them too probably)

How is any of this considered dignified in an educated society? Why do people lack self esteem? And is there any possibility of this to change in future?

Or there is no hope left?
