While Balakrishna is the latest entrant in the selfie bandwagon, the younger celebrities have mastered the art of sharing candid selfies that create more than a flutter online. The official
social networking pages of actresses like Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah, Shruti Haasan, Hansika and Pooja Hegde to name a few, are filled with selfies and more often than not, they do gain the most traction from their fans.
Admitting that such selfies get most 'likes' and 'retweets', Hansika says there's no method behind the selfies. "A selfie is just a selfie. I share a good relationship with all my co-stars and I am a happy-go-lucky person, so I guess that comes out in the pics. I have never had an issue when it comes to convincing my co-stars or directors to pose for a selfie. In fact, director Sundar keeps teasing me that, 'If anyone wants to become famous, all they need to do is click a selfie with Hansu'(laughs)."
The ladies seem to be more natural with their selfies.Whether it's making funny faces, sipping mocktails, fun moments with family and the works — they all look ever so fashionable and fun. Shruti Haasan is perhaps the most expressive of them all, always sharing selfies of her in the airport lounge, on the sets, at home on her father's old bike and the works. The more reserved male celebs like Naga Chaitanya and Ram Charan also aren't averse to dropping their guard a little when posing for a selfie. In a selfie posted by Pooja Hegde,Naga Chaitanya reveals a far more jovial side of his persona, making poker faces and grinning at the camera. In selfies posted by Kajal Aggarwal we see the generally guarded Ram Charan wearing a mask, posing with dumbbells and basically, just chilling. Talk about the power of a selfie!
They might have their larger-than-life personas onscreen, but as long as these celebrities keep giving us a sneak peek into their lives, which are usually shrouded in mystery, their fans will continue to lap up the selfie trend.
