EK WOH ZAMAANA THA JAB STARS APNI NEEJI ZINDAGI KO CHUPAAYE RAKTE THE . AAJ WOH SAB KUCH DIKHAANE KE LIYE TAYAAR HAI SOCIAL MEDIA PE...... BY Ali Peter John

Some of the biggest stars of earlier times kept their family lives a secret to a large extent . Ashok Kumar brought his children into the limelight only when they grew mature - Ali Peter John

Raj Kapoor kept his children away from the gaze of the public and the media , Rajendra Kumar made it a point to see that his daughters didn't attend parties in his own house and attending shootings was like a crime for them and he made it a point to get his daughter Dimple married when she was only eighteen .

The lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri got his only daughter Kishwar married when she was just out of her teens and it was an unwritten law that stars and filmmakers kept their family lives away from their public life ....

But today with the sudden growth of social media life has changed for all the big stars . Let me give you some examples ....

Amitabh Bachchan expresses all his emotions and feelings through his blog and especially through Instagram and Twitter. What is more surprising is that he has exposed his entire house , Jalsa to social media . Every function or party in Jalsa can be seen on his Instagram the very next day . He even wishes his fans good morning and good night on his Instagram and photographs with his family have now become a regular feature .

Rekha may have gone out as an actress , but she is still the gorgeous Rekha who appears in her most stunning costumes and her hands and neck covered with jewellery that has never been seen easily . She even sings her old songs herself together with some of the best known ghazals and the audience still worships her , all because of her stunning new looks and costumes . Attempts are made by her fans to recreate the romance between her and the man she continues to worship .

Shah Rukh Khan proves that he is even the Badshah of Instagram . His series of photographs from different parts of his life titled " 1000 Faces " is the most popular feature of Instagram . Switch on Instagram any time and you will have Shah Rukh Khan on it creating his magic . His children and his wife are also seen on Instagram regularly .

Salman Khan is other star who is seen making a big splash on Instagram all the time and so are his father , Salim Khan and his brothers .

Madhuy Dixit Nene seemed to have bid good bye to films when she married Dr Sriram Nene , but she is now seen in a much more glamorous and sexy avatar on Instagram .

Among the others who are regular users of Facebook are Dharmendra , Deepti Naval , Divya Dutta and Deepak Tijori. The stars of the South , Prabhas , Allu Arjun , Nayanthara, Rashmika , Mandana are also seen on Instagram regularly and even make stars like Rajnikant and Mahesh Babu are regular faces on Instagram .

And if there are two female stars who dominate Instagram it is Kareena Kapoor with her children Taimur and Jehangir and Deepika Padukone with her star husband Ranveer Singh .

SOCIAL MEDIA AAJ KAL DOOBTE AUR GIRTE HUVE SITAARE KO EK NAYA AASMAN DE SAKTI HAI . YE SACH AAJ KAL KE SITAARO KO MEHSOOS HO RAHA HAI AUR WOH ISKA JAMKAR FAAYDA UTA RAAHE HAI
