List of Indian Celebrity Blogs






There are celebrity bloggers and then there are celebrity bloggers. The first kind are those who have gained name and fame via blogging and the other includes the ones who are famous and are now therefore reaching out to their fans via the medium of the weblog.
This post makes an attempt at listing the Indian celebrities (mostly Bollywood people) who have taken on to blogging.
There are a number of lists listing celeb blogs in India, but I didn't find any to be comprehensive enough, therefore spent many many hours looking for them and putting them together in one place (and also adding some frills).
The opinions expressed against each blog is at the time of posting and if the nature of the blog changes later, it might not hold true.
Indian Celebrity Blog Directory (in alphabetical order)

  1. Aamir Khan
    Who: Actor, director, producer [More]
    Where: His own website
    Feed: No
    Worth following: Yes
    Aamir keeps his blog regularly updated. Writes about a lot of things but many tend to revolve around his films. Good blog to follow if you want to know what The Perfectionist has to say. But the blog in itself is far away from being perfect. It even lacks many features that we non-celebrity bloggers expect as default in our blogs.

  2. Abhay Deol 
    Who: Actor [More]
    Where: Celebrity Angst blog at PassionForCinema
    Feed: Yes

    Worth following: Yes
    Mammotty just started his blog, the first post was on January 1, 2009 and he already has hundreds of followers on his blog.
