“One quality of leaders and high
achievers in every area seems to be a commitment to ongoing personal and
professional development.” - Brian Tracy
Like any other profession, film stars
also are also ambitious to serve people to excel as politicians. When we look
at most film stars who entered into politics they failed to excel due to
various reasons. Most times they are used like jokers in the pack by
politicians with exceptions of N.T. Rama Rao and M.G. Ramachandran who became
chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu respectively. Let us look at
the reasons in this regard.
Most film stars are blessed with
charisma and communication skills. Since they belong to the film industry they
know the knack of delivering dialogues and punches effectively. They know how
to impress their audiences. They enter into politics as they are known to
people through cinema. Most of the film stars and sportspersons especially from
cricket in India are well known to people. Politicians want to exploit the screen
presence of these film stars and their visibility to get votes. Therefore, they
approach film stars to join their political parties. These film stars also join
political parties to serve people to grow as political leaders. But most of
them fail as they don’t have political acumen and tact and diplomacy which are
keys to their success in politics. They are straightforward and they often
crave for claps from people rather than to understand the underneath political
dynamics. Politicians are happy with them as these film stars are able to
attract audiences to get votes who finally enjoy political power. Once politicians
accomplish their political objectives, they keep film stars away from politics except
inviting them for political campaigning and public functions. This is how
things go on where politicians use film stars as jokers in the pack of cards.
Hence, film stars must understand the games in politics and must reinvent
themselves to become politically mature to evolve as successful politicians. They must actively associate with people to
connect with them to understand their problems and address them earnestly. They
must voice the challenges of the people appropriately from time to time. They
must treat politics as a full-time job rather than as a part-time job. In this
way, they can constantly stay in touch with people and enjoy political
positions to lead the country. Once people are constantly in touch with them,
they don’t have to worry much about politicians.
“No one can ever reach to excellence
in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful
process of study and preparation.” – Horace
