Paparazzi and invasiveness of social media was not there earlier, says actor Preity Zinta
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Mumbai, Star Preity Zinta says actors today face more pressure than they did earlier, with the growing paparazzi culture and invasive nature of social media putting them under harsh spotlights they did not have to deal with in the past.
Adding to this, Paparazzi and invasiveness of social media was not there earlier, says star Preity Zinta Zinta, who settled in the US after her marriage in 2016, was back in Mumbai to promote her soon-to-release spy comedy "Vibe" with Kunal Kemmu.
Meanwhile, In the movie, which arrives in theatres just weeks after the rollout of her Partition drama "Batwara 1947" with Sunny Deol, features Zinta in the quirky role of Madam H, a spy who recruits and trains two bumbling friends for a high-stakes secret mission.
Notably, Asked what was the biggest cultural shock when she made her comeback to movies, she shared acting now involves dealing with things beyond the movie set.
As per the latest buzz, "The biggest cultural shock for me is not to do with the movies itself, it's around the movies. Like, the paparazzi, the invasiveness of social media. Earlier, we just had to act when we go on set and finish. Here, how you dress is important, your airport look is important. If you're sad, you've to be fashionably sad or if you're happy, you have to be fashionably happy.
In further updates, "If there's anything that's happening in the country, you need to be informed, you need to comment, you need to say the right thing... So, it's a lot more pressure. The job is not limited to just the set, it's the optics around the set and then you're supposed to look amazing," Zinta told PTI in an interview.
On top of that, According to the "Kal Ho Naa Ho" star, now that she is back, she wants to work at her own pace and on projects that appeal to her.
"If you look at my career choices, when I started my career with 'Kya Kehna', which was an unwed teenage pregnancy. Then I did 'Soldier', which was commercial, 'Sangharsh' was also very different, and then I played a prostitute in 'Chori Chori Chupke Chupke'.
