Legend is one who will be remembered and honored even long after his death. So Bhagat Singh is a legend but he is not a celebrity. Celebrity is a person currently alive and is famous and respected or loved by large number of people.

gulshan ji, you make clear the difference exactly thank you.
The only test in differentiating the two is permanence of fame! A legend stays in our memory for an indefinite period of time! Some of our present celebraties may graduate into legends and some be forgotten in a few years' time!
