\"Ameesha Ameesha Patel<\/a> has seemingly taken a sharp dig at the younger generation of actresses and the growing PR culture in the film industry. The actress, who was recently stranded in Oman after her flight was diverted amid the UAE-Iran conflict, shared a series of strong opinions on social media about stardom, box office success and \u201cfake PR machinery\u201d.On Friday, Ameesha took to X and posted multiple tweets criticising what she described as \u201cperception-building games\u201d in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u2018Call yourself a superstar only after creating history at the box office\u2019<\/p>\n

The actress first addressed negativity from YouTubers and trolls, saying stars should not feel affected by criticism.\u201cNever feel bad or upset at certain negative YouTubers who always wake up with negativity and criticism for all the stars. We as stars should feel happy for them rather than getting affected\u2026 after all, by speaking ill about us, their kitchen is running,\u201d she wrote.Ameesha then shifted focus towards actresses who, according to her, call themselves \u201csuperstars\u201d without delivering major box office hits.\u201cCall yourself a superstar only if you have achieved any sort of work that creates history and havoc at the box office. Until then stop playing PR games to call yourself a superstar. Sorry but that\u2019s the harsh reality,\u201d she posted.<\/p>\n

\u2018Doing two average films yearly doesn\u2019t make you a star\u2019<\/p>\n

The Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai actress further claimed that many actresses today have not delivered even a single solo blockbuster despite branding themselves as stars.\u201cLoads of female actresses who haven\u2019t even achieved one solo blockbuster in their careers till date are calling themselves stars. By doing two average films yearly and by being on some shooting sets, you don\u2019t become a star. All you become is an actor who is part of projects,\u201d Ameesha wrote.She also commented on the changing box office landscape and questioned actresses allegedly using PR teams to project themselves as top stars.\u201cMost female actresses who haven\u2019t even achieved one film in their career where even a single film of theirs has done 200 crore plus at the box office are paying their PR teams to call themselves number 1 and number 2? Like really? It\u2019s 2026 and not 2000. Today 100 crore is nothing,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Ameesha cites \u2018Gadar\u2019 and \u2018Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai\u2019 success<\/p>\n

Ameesha Patel also highlighted her own filmography while speaking about superstardom and box office records.\u201cA star becomes a global superstar only when he or she delivers a huge hit all over the world,\u201d she wrote, before adding, \u201cKaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Gadar 1 or Gadar 2… ek nahin par 3 biggest solo blockbusters as a heroine with highest footfalls in all three films I\u2019ve given.\u201dThe actress further stated that these films remain among the biggest hits of her co-stars\u2019 careers as well.<\/p>\n

\u2018Gadar 3 will create chaos in theatres\u2019<\/p>\n

Ending her post on an optimistic note, Ameesha also teased Gadar 3 and predicted massive box office numbers for the franchise.\u201cGadar 3 will come for sure and jab aayegi, theatre mein hungama mach jayega. With audience love and God\u2019s blessings, 500 crore is just the minimum number at the box office for a brand like Gadar,\u201d she wrote.She also promised that the upcoming instalment would be mounted on a much bigger scale with a more \u201cdhamakedar\u201d script. <\/p>\n

Ameesha Patel was recently stranded in Oman<\/p>\n

Ameesha\u2019s remarks come shortly after her recent travel ordeal. The actress was reportedly stranded in Oman for nearly 24 hours after her flight was diverted due to escalating tensions between the UAE and Iran.She was travelling with DJ DJ Chetas and producer Kunal Goomer at the time. The actress eventually returned to Mumbai on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ameesha Patel has seemingly taken a sharp dig at the younger generation of actresses and the growing PR…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[22099,243253,243256,243254,243255,77905,49,48,75,243250,184429,337,243252,243251],"class_list":["post-656950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ameesha-patel","tag-ameesha-patel-criticises-younger-actresses","tag-ameesha-patel-news","tag-ameesha-patel-takes-a-dig-at-younger-actresses","tag-ameesha-patel-tweets","tag-bollywood-box-office","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-gadar-3","tag-kaho-naa-pyaar-hai","tag-movies","tag-pr-culture","tag-younger-actresses"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
