Though we believe the entertainment industry is full of the glitz and glamour we see on our screens, being a celebrity is not always comfortable. Some actors are going through the worst experiences of their lives as they are being harassed because of their television roles.
Some of the roles portrayed by actors are chosen for them by the producers of the show. Whether the character is good or bad, actors portray it wholeheartedly. However, some bitter fans don’t understand that performing a villain role doesn’t necessarily mean actors behave that way in real life.
