Ameesha Patel takes a dig at female actors for their huge entourage costs: ‘Many are in denial of their stardom’
Ameesha Patel Questions Female Actors’ Promotion Entourages
Bharatmorningnews.com – Ameesha Patel takes a dig at female actors over the cost of large entourages during film promotions. Responding to fans on social media, the actor argued that some actresses bring teams whose expenses, paid by producers, can outweigh a film’s opening-day collection.
The discussion began when a follower asked whether it was fair for actors to travel with additional staff for promotional events while producers bear the cost. Ameesha replied with a pointed comment about celebrity culture and the financial realities of movie marketing.
“many female actresses are in denial of their stardom. their enterouge during film promotions which comes at the cost of the producers are bigger then their day 1 collection. hope they have the same enterouge in their regular life minus a producer paying for it.”
Ameesha Patel takes a dig at the growing expense of film promotion, where actors may be accompanied by makeup artists, stylists, managers and other team members for interviews, travel and public appearances. Her central argument was that such costs should reflect a star’s commercial pull and a film’s actual performance.
Ameesha Patel on Choosing Her Next Film
In another response, Ameesha was asked whether she had signed a new project. She did not disclose a film title, but said she would rather wait for a worthwhile opportunity than accept projects simply to stay active.
“Don’t want to be part of buy one get one free offer films and₹99 ticket price films and that too from day 1 on release day. Rather create gadar once in few years then to do RUBBISH filler films and time wil come super soon to create another havoc at the box office.”
Her remarks referred to the success of Gadar 2, which reunited her with Sunny Deol. The film earned ₹686 crore worldwide and brought Ameesha back as Sakina, one of the best-known characters from the original Gadar.
Directed by Anil Sharma, Gadar 2 also featured Utkarsh Sharma, Simrat Kaur, Manish Wadhwa and Gaurav Chopra in important roles. Its strong box-office run reinforced the enduring popularity of the franchise.
Her Earlier Concerns About Online Trolling
Ameesha Patel takes a dig at another aspect of the entertainment business through her frequent social-media posts. In May this year, she spoke about the harsh online criticism faced by Indian actors, especially when they attend major public events.
“Actors here in INDIA are more badly trolled by our own people than Hollywood stars are within their country from their own people, which is so sad! Whether it’s an Indian star’s appearance or attire at big events, they sadly become targets of their own people! Such a shame!”
While that post focused on trolling over actors’ appearances and clothing, her recent comments turn to the costs attached to stardom. She questioned whether producers should finance extensive promotional teams when the box-office returns may not justify the expense.
Ameesha was most recently seen in the 2024 romantic comedy Tauba Tera Jalwa, directed by Akashaditya Lama. The film also starred Jatin Khurana and Angela Krislinzki in leading roles. She has not announced her next project.
