The IPL is losing its glam factor
Have the Bollywood stars who gave the IPL its glamour in the first few seasons lost their appeal
It is hard to say whether these men and women have lost their appeal or the star-struck Indians are more in love with the idea of glamour than glamour itself. Or, is it that once these ageing stars overexposed themselves, their aura too vanished? I wonder what agony the Badshah of Bollywood would have gone through on discovering that the Kolkata crowd had largely kept away from the Eden Gardens in their opening match.
