Bully High actress Aneesha Madhok does not believe in networking!
In the entertainment industry, networking and references matter when it comes to getting the right opportunity. But Bully High actress Aneesha Madhok does not believe in networking!
“I was acting in a play in Los Angeles and was spotted by filmmaker Bill McAdams Jr, who was sitting in the audience. He cast me as the lead in my first independent Hollywood film. From there on, I just kept getting spotted by other filmmakers and managers. So, I believe one should just keep doing what they love,” she says.
Merit has its value, so does luck but the actor with contacts often gets the opportunity. “Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard! I have gotten more opportunities in the global film industry instead of my country. I don’t think my talent is valued here and I have made peace with that. I don’t care if all the roles go to nepotism babies, I will create my own opportunities,” she continues.
“I have not much to say about nepotism because it is everywhere in Bollywood. I feel like I can be friends with anyone so I do vibe with a lot of the star kids, but I feel Bollywood should look for global talent,” she adds.
Aneesha shares that right opportunities are everywhere. “Because there is a lack of innovation, retro songs are constantly repeated and the same clichéd structure is repeated. What’s the point?” she questions.
