This has become a very common feature these days and in fact, it has increased after the social media has started dominating our lives. Whenever we encounter a celebrity or hear about someone in the headlines, we tend to see many trying to build that connection with that person in one way or the other.

This is more so among the celebrities and currently all of them are clinging to one person. He is none other than the great APJ Abdul Kalam, the Missile Man and our former president. His unexpected demise has cast a cloud of gloom and shock across many quarters especially the students.

Within no time, many film celebrities have begun coming up with various instances and references which could connect them to Kalam. It was either a picture with him or even his autograph or a small message. While it can be considered as gratitude and tribute towards the great man, some felt it was mere boasting.
