After becoming famous, the lifestyle of people associated with the creative field often changes. Fans start circling as soon as they are spotted outside the house, which is why the stars take great care while going to the public place. Recently, in an exclusive conversation with Jagran.com, Shankar Mahadevan talked about fans, social media and his favorite places in Mumbai.

Shankar Mahadevan says that there is no such thing which has changed after becoming popular. Earlier I used to eat vada pav standing comfortably, now I cannot eat standing on such a road, but it is necessary that even today I go to Udupi restaurant in Mumbai to eat my favorite food. I also go to the railway station many times, although now I do not go to very crowded places because people know. It is not that life has changed after becoming popular. Because I don’t want to lose the small joys of life.

On the question of fans, Shankar says that people know us and like our songs, so they often get photographed at the airport etc. Let me also tell you that once you break a fan’s heart by refusing to be photographed with a fan, you have lost a loved one for life. Because that person will never like you again. That’s why whenever people meet me, I meet with love.

On the question related to social media, Shankar says that social media is right to an extent, now some people update every action even going from one room to another by posting photos on social media. I don’t like this trend of social media. Social media is fine till you share things related to work, if a film or song is being released, if you talk about it on social media, then I think it is right. If social media is used very wisely, then it is a very good way to reach people. Along with this, people also earn financially from social media.
