Actor Ameesha Patel<\/a> has stirred fresh debate in Bollywood <\/a>after seemingly taking a swipe at the younger crop of actresses and growing PR culture in the industry. In a series of fiery social media posts, the actor called out what she described as Bollywood\u2019s \u201cfake PR games,\u201d accusing several younger stars of paying to secure the \u201cnumber one\u201d tag and earn a \u201csuperstar\u201d image despite lacking genuine box office success.<\/p>\n

Late on Friday, Ameesha took to social media to call out Bollywood\u2019s \u201cfake PR machinery\u201d and criticise the growing PR culture among younger female actors in the film industry.<\/p>\n

The actor took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and shared a series of posts voicing her views on stardom, box office success, and what she called Bollywood\u2019s \u201cfake PR machinery.\u201d<\/p>\n

She first addressed the growing influence of YouTubers, writing, \u201cNever feel bad or upset at Certain negative UTUBERS who always wake up with negativity and criticism for all the STARS\u2026 We as stars should feel happy for them rather then getting affected… after all by speaking ill about us all, their kitchen running\u2026 we wish them luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ameesha then turned her attention to actresses who, according to her, brand themselves as \u201csuperstars\u201d despite not delivering major box office hits, while also taking a dig at the younger generation for allegedly trying to buy the \u201cnumber one\u201d tag through PR.<\/p>\n

\u201cCall ur self a superstar only if u have achieved any sort of work that creates history and havoc at the box office. Untill then stop playing PR games to cal urself a super star\u2026 Sorry but that\u2019s the harsh reality\u2026 Loads of female actresses who haven\u2019t even achieved 1 solo blockbuster in their careers tlll date are calling themselves stars by doing 2 avg films yearly and by being on some shooting sets u don\u2019t become a star. All u become is an actor who is a part of a projects,\u201d Ameesha posted.<\/p>\n

The actor continued, \u201cMost female actresses who haven\u2019t even achieved one film in their career where even a single film of theirs has done even 200 cr plus at the box office are paying their PR teams to call themselves nos 1 and nos 2? like really? its 2026 and not 2000\u2026today 100 cr is nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA star becomes a global superstar only when he or she delivers a huge hit all over the world…it\u2019s always a good feeling for any actor to be a part of any project anywhere in the world. but u only become a superstar once u have delivered those big hits. Stop PR machinery,\u201d Ameesha mentioned.<\/p>\n

Ameesha went on to highlight her hit films such as Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Gadar<\/a>, sharing, \u201cKaho na pyaar hai, Gadar 1 or Gadar2 \u2026 Ek nahin par 3 biggest solo blockbusters (not one but three biggest solo blockbusters) as a heroine with highest footfalls in all 3 films I\u2019ve given and till date they are the biggest hits of my CO STARS as well .. but my FAKE PR machinery is weak unlike other actresses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGADAR 3 will come fr sure and JAB aayegi . Theatre mein hungama mach Jayega (Gadar 3 will definitely happen, and whenever it releases, theatres will erupt in chaos). With audiences love and gods blessings .. 500 cr is just the minimum nos at the box office for a brand like GADAR\u2026 and this time the scale and script willl be even bigger and dhamakedar (power-packed). Be prepared,\u201d Ameesha wrote.<\/p>\n

Ameesha\u2019s recent project<\/p>\n

Ameesha\u2019s most recent major film role was in the 2022 blockbuster Gadar 2, in which she reprised her iconic character decades after the original hit. Looking ahead, she is expected to be back on the big screen with Humraaz 2, the long\u2011awaited sequel to the 2002 thriller Humraaz. Recently, filmmaker Ratan Jain, who produced Akshaye Khanna, Bobby Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer Humraaz, opened up about the possibility of a sequel in a new interview. In a chat with Bollywood Hungama, when asked about the same, the filmmaker shared he can make Humraaz 2 if he gets the right script for Akshaye and Bobby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Ameesha Patel has stirred fresh debate in Bollywood after seemingly taking a swipe at the younger crop…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[33922,273440,273438,273437,88,273439,204342,206],"class_list":["post-632700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ameesha-patel","tag-ameesha-patel-pr","tag-bollywood-pr-machinery","tag-box-office-hits","tag-entertainment","tag-female-actresses","tag-gadar-2","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
