Legend and Celebrity

Legend-HE will be the role model for all.Some members are eligible for this.

Celebrity-The talented person can become a celebrity like Sushil kumar.

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.

Yes gulshan ji you are right you explained clearly the difference between them.

i have got a hilarious example for this....

legend- sachin tendulkar
celebrity- sreeesanth

a perfect explaination has been given by gulshan kumar ji. yes, it is said that deaths don't come to legends meaning they live in memories of people long after they bid their final good bye to this world.

gulshan ji, you make clear the difference exactly thank you.

Thank you Gulshanji for clearing my confusion between legend and celebrity

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!

I think legend is one who had made history by his intelligent activities.Celebrity is one who is famous by somehow.

yes abid you are absolutely correct. Thank you for the clarification

Only intelligent activities! Mohammed Bin Tughlak is known in the history more for his lack of wisdom!

Oh abid you explained it simply .Now it is clear the difference between both.

One can become a legend by doing something extraordinarily silly too!

Oh abid you explained it simply .Now it is clear the difference between both.
