Bollywood actress Shefali Shah in a recent interview opened up about how people in the industry were obsessed with stars and underlined on the need to 바카라˜own up to their words바카라™.

In a chat with famous personalities Kusha Kapila, Prajakta Koli, Neelam Kothari Soni, Masaba Gupta, Mrunal Thakur and Swastika Mukherjee for Film Companion, Shah said, 바카라œI think the ability for people, particularly in cinema, to stick to their word. They will say you are very good but it does not translate to nothing. So, don바카라™t just tell me I am good.바카라

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

She went on to say how people come to her saying they want to work with her but it never translates to anything.

She added, 바카라œThen nothing happens. Then they will see you at the next party and say exactly the same thing. It바카라™s really boring.바카라

The 바카라˜Human바카라™ actress highlighted the one thing that hadn바카라™t changed about Bollywood over the years was its obsession with stars.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

She continued, 바카라œThe preference of a star is very annoying now, because I think we finally have woken up and understood that you just need to be an actor.바카라

Shah reflected on how OTT platforms have been a helping hand in breaking this notion.

Expressing her concern over the matter she said, 바카라œI am glad we had OTT breaking that for us, for me, but still, there is this thing of 바카라˜But star hona chahiye na.바카라™ So, what happens to talent? I am talking about everyone. You바카라™re just repeating the same people over and over again. Give credit where it is due. I wish that changes. I don바카라™t see that drastic a shift yet in cinema.바카라

Shah, who directed and starred in two short films, 'Happy Birthday Mummyji' and 'Someday', expressed her desire to direct a feature film someday. She said she'd "definitely want to direct" and that the process was "addictive." She did, however, come to the conclusion that her filmmaker husband, Vipul Shah, wants her to enjoy her new phase as an actor.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The actress announced her next project, 바카라˜Jalsa바카라™, earlier this month where she will co-star alongside actress Vidya Balan.
