Social media is a platform that can make you or put you down. Your talent and artistic skills can make you an overnight star. In recent time, we have seen a lot of people mostly commoners turning into a celebrity with the help of just one viral picture or a video. The recent example of the same is the old lady named Ranu Monal who was captured singing the popular Lata Mangeshkar song Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai at the busy platform of Ranaghat railway station in West Bengal. From being a poor old lady to getting an offer from Himesh Reshammiya to sing in a Bollywood film, her journey has been quite amazing.
Not only Ranu, but there are also a lot of people all around the globe who grabbed the eyeballs and became a sensation on the internet, courtesy power of social media. Have a look at some of them:
