Ameesha Patel Takes a Dig at Younger Actresses, PR Culture
Patel said actresses without a 200 crore hit are paying PR teams to claim top rankings, calling 100 crore box office totals “nothing” in 2026.
- On Friday, actor Ameesha Patel criticized Bollywood's reliance on "fake PR games" to project stardom, arguing that actresses should only claim top-tier status after achieving major box office success.
- Patel questioned industry rankings, writing, "Most female actresses who haven't 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 cal themselves nos 1 and nos 2."
- Citing her own track record, she asserted that "today 100 cr is nothing," pointing to three biggest solo blockbusters including Kaho na pyaar hai and Gadar 2 as proof of stardom.
- The actor teased Gadar 3 and addressed online critics, stating, "Never feel bad or upset at Certain negative UTUBERS who always wake up with negativity and criticism for all the STARS."
- Her unfiltered comments ignited a fresh conversation about the industry's "fake PR games," positioning the debate against the evolving landscape of digital fame where box office milestones remain the primary measure of legacy.
