Arshad Warsi told the meaning of stardom

For me, stardom is Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. They don’t need any kind of social media to tell anyone that they are stars – I think that’s the stardom, not the number of followers you have on social media or the followers you’ve bought.”
