Even though films came in the early part of 1900, the mass hysteria that accompanies films in present times came much later. The Indian society in the pre independence era was also a conservative one, where film viewing was restricted to a certain section of the society- mostly the elite and films was yet to spread far and wide. The emergence of larger than life stars slowly started emerging post-independence. The advent of media also helped in making the actors more accessible to the audience. Tabloid, gossip columns, and major influence of the west helped in making stars larger than life, close to demigods in a country which was made the world of cinema its escape from the daily routine.With Gregory Peck type of looks, Dev Anand seemed too westernized for the films that were being made in the 1950s. Many even shunned him as someone who just looked good but couldn%u2019t act. While initially he did play soft romantic roles, he then shifted to films which spoke about social issues. The craze for his typical swagger, his style, his body language caught on soon and was aped by the youth. The charming smile and the thoughtful eyes poured deep into the hearts of millions of fans and ladies swooned all over him. The man went on to make some memorable films, some of which became cult classics, launched several new faces in the film industry and lived life in his own unique way and refused to get old. Rajesh Khanna:He taught the country the term %u2018superstar%u2019. Till then, actors had strong fan following but the hysteria that Khanna brought was unmatched. The shy boy won a talent hunt contest and landed his first role in a feature film in %u2018Aakhri Khat%u2019 in 1966 but within a year Khanna%u2019s popularity started spreading far and wide. So much so, that the ending of Nasir Hussain%u2019s %u2018Baharon Ke Sapne%u2019 had to be changed from a sad one to a happier one following national uproar. His popularity reached delirious in a short span-stories of how his car was covered with lipstick marks, his name was chanted by women on the road while his car passed by are part of film folklore now. And Kaka, as he was popularly known as, still remains the only actor to have back to back fifteen consecutive solo superhits, during the years 1969 to 1972., a feat which is yet to be broken by any actor.MG Ramachandran: Films and film actors are taken very seriously down south. Actors are treated differently, given god like status. Generally starring in romance or action films, MGR got his big breakthrough in the 1947 film 'Manthiri Kumari', but 'Malaikallan' in 1957 was the film that catapulted him to superstardom. MGR had been politically active since the early years of his acting career. While he continued to make films and act in them, his involvement in building Tamil Nadu%u2019s new political system was also quite prominent. Perhaps, his superstar persona helped him gain support when he broke away from DMk and formed his own party AIADMK in the 1972. The only actor to have received the Bharat Ratna (posthumously), he is still considered an icon in Tamil Nadu.

While fleeing with the girl, Birju is warned by Radha to let the girl go. When he diesnt relent, Radha shoots him and Birju eventually dies in his mother's arms.Probably one of the creepiest scenes from Abbas Mustan's 'Baazigar' has Shah Rukh Khan placing a nervous Shilpa Shetty on the edge of a high rise building lovingly. While convincing her that she need not be scared since he is there to hold her back, SRK throws her off the building.
