Ameesha Patel takes aim at Bollywood’s “fake PR games” in fiery posts, slams younger actresses for buying ‘number 1’ tag
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 9 (ANI): Actor Ameesha Patel has taken a sharp dig at the younger generation of Bollywood actresses and what she called "fake PR games" in the industry.
The 'Gadar' actress took to her X account on Friday night to share a series of fiery posts, one of which spoke about actresses paying PR teams to create a "number one" and "superstar" image despite lacking major box office success.
In her post, Ameesha questioned actresses calling themselves top stars without delivering big hits at the box office. Taking a swipe at the "nos 1 and nos 2" race in Bollywood, she wrote, "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 ?like really ?its 2026 and not 2000 today 100 cr is nothing ."
