In the era of social media where each and every person is focused on promotional gimmicks and influencing people across the world, a new kind of politics is also taking cognizance. This is the era of celebrity politics where famous people start interfering with regional and national politics which leads to certain consequences on that political system. The paper tries to analyze these consequences along with corelating the democratic concept of welfare, development and progress to the interference of celebrities in politics by analyzing certain case studies. The paper also tries to analyze whether there could be an alternate approach adopted in electing the representatives.
