You can select an icon in the last 10 years, 20 years, or even someone from the current lot who you think has the potential to be in this level.

Guys the topic doesn't have to be about who you idolize. It can be someone who a lot of new comers in bollywood would look up to. Recall that movie I want to be Maduri Dixit or something like that. There is a reason why the movie was made...because she is an icon.

And the title says what's your def of an icon, not who is your icon! 😆

Lensa some or should I say most people here are too cynical to admit that they consider some celeb as an icon.. and that too bolly celeb.. chichi.. ganda.. bolly celebs are only there to be ripped apart.. 😆

Not just bollywood... but everyone is flawed.. be it a bollywood figure.. holly figure.. someone in sports.. a legend .. or a leader.. the whole concept of expecting an idol or icon to be flawless.. doesn't make sense.. all these people just specialize in something.. and that is something one can appreciate about them.. other than taht you cannot expect anyone to be flawless...

Ladygaga.... I did not say that an Icon is not flawed.... Thats why I said... IMO...

And IMO Icon is sombody I look up to and who inspires me... That could be my dad or a teacher or a it can be someone walking down the street... Does not matter... 😊

Its just that in Bollywood all I see is a bunch of hypocrites and Yes they entertain me but definitely they dont inspire me...

Or maybe some people are just too self-absorbed to think highly of anyone else but themselves. I include myself in this category. Who has time to idolize people for free? Pay me and I'll do it.

I think the main confusion here is the distinction between an Idol and an Icon.

An example would be Mitun and his Iconic Disco Dancing I guess?

^ Here is a def than...

A cultural icon can be a symbol, logo, picture, name, face, person, building or other image that is readily recognized and generally represents an object or concept with great cultural significance to a wide cultural group. A representation of an object or person, or that object or person may come to be regarded as having a special status as particularly representative of, or important to, or loved by, a particular group of people, a place, or a period in history.

Idolatry is the worship of a physical object as a god

And that's from wiki lol
