'Bechara' Darsheel Has No Friends
Darsheel Safary is not a happy child now a days. After the expected success of Taare Zameen Par, Darsheel has slowly felt he's been alienated from his friends and normal people. Maybe the child star didn't realise that his friends had been avoiding him during the holidays, but after returning to school and "normal" life, Darsheel knows that most of his friends have deserted him.
“The attitude of my friends towards me have changed. I have very few of them left… maybe just six. The rest have left me. They’re trying to pull me down all the time. I feel they are a little jealous of me. When I’m passing by in my car they say, “Hey Darsheel, Darsheel. Photo photo!”
I even feel sorry for the kid, dealing with fame at a young age is hard, but I don't like the cliché that most celebrities use when someone mistreats them. "They're jealous of me!" A puppet cry that definitely won't win him his friends back. And maybe he shouldn't call it his car, since he's kind off underage. Kids notice straight away when someone is being patronizing and I'm sure Darsheel will have to pay with a few wedgies if his former friends get a hold of him.
After rubbing shoulders with superstar Aamir Khan, it's understandable that he's enjoying the attention but ask him if he's doing another movie and the reply you'll receive is a shrug. Darsheel is leaving his movie career to his parents, like a good Indian boy, and prefers to concentrate on his studies.
Darsheel is right, friends are over-rated. I lost all my friends the day I started writing. Maybe because I walked around in tights and informed my teachers "To do my homework or not to do, that is the question." Now I'm known as "Indian Shakespeare" or "The crazy girl in tights".
