Bollywood celebrities seem to be taking selfies like fish to water.
If getting autographs was once a trend, Selfies has become the new trend of communication for celebrities. 'Selfie' is the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year 2013, all thanks to the Selfie revolution at this year's Oscars. Bollywood celebrities followed suit at this year's IIFA in Tampa Bay, Florida.
'Rockstar' actress, Nargis Fakhri said, "Selfies have definitely taken over from autographs, and I think, it's kind of fun and cool, I like it, I am all about Selfies".
Selfie is an obsession and now a sign of self esteem. Although selfies don't always represent self obsession, but in most cases they do.
According to Bigg Boss 7 winner, Gauhar Khan, selfies are overrated and an obsession, but she still loves it.
"I think everyone does go little overboard with things in life, it becomes a fad and I think now it's over rated but I am self obsessed and I love my self too much so I like clicking selfies, " said Gauhar.
Whether the selfie culture is lame or legit, it sure is a reflection of your life through social media.
