The relationship between the members of the film fraternity and the media is rather see-saw but at the end of the day both need each other. The usual focus of the media is more on the heroines as that brings a lot of attention and TRPs to them.
However, there have been instances wherein the starlets prefer to stay away from film related events or any other activity for the fear of media. The tier two actresses feel they would be put in a tight spot because they are grilled about their future projects constantly. Few others keep distance because questions on their personal life are asked.
While it is true that some media folks tend to get pushy at times, it is important to learn the art of handling them. Those actresses who have done it successfully have always remained in limelight and benefited from it. At the same time, they also need to take few things with a pinch of salt because at the end of the day, they do get their share of mileage and visibility. Point is, don’t fear, just learn how to handle them.
