Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel recently opened up about her thoughts on the industry's post-COVID transformation. In a candid AMA session on her X account, she shared her perspective on the impact of changing box office economics and the resulting corrections. Patel emphasized that the industry is witnessing a much-needed reality check for those who don't deserve their success, and she believes this shift is positive for the 'deserving ones' who are finally getting their due recognition.
When a fan inquired about what brings her joy, Patel replied, 'The change in Bollywood's economics post-COVID has been a breath of fresh air. It's heartening to see that corrections are underway, benefiting the talented and hardworking individuals who have long been overlooked. It's a smile-inducing sight for the good!'
Addressing a fan's confession of being a dedicated fan of her movie 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai,' Patel expressed gratitude and humility. She mentioned that many actresses have achieved success and are respected for their unique standing in the industry. She also encouraged appreciation and respect among colleagues, stating, 'Jealousy is not the right approach. Let's appreciate each other's achievements and focus on our own growth. If anyone feels jealous, let them be! It's their choice, and it doesn't affect me.'
Patel's career resurgence gained momentum with the 2023 blockbuster 'Gadar 2,' which starred Sunny Deol and Utkarsh Sharma. The film's success at the box office, collecting βΉ686 crore worldwide, marked her comeback after a five-year hiatus. Her recent film, 'Tauba Tera Jalwa,' a romantic comedy, received mixed reviews, but her performance was well-received. As for her future projects, Patel remains tight-lipped, leaving fans eagerly anticipating her next move.
