Megha Chakraborty believes that no matter how experienced you are, your social media presence determines your destiny in the entertainment industry.
She says, “Whoever is trending and has a large number of followers is being cast, not on the basis of their merit, skill, or experience. I’ve noticed a lot of senior artistes who aren’t getting work because they aren’t engaged on social media. Actors, who are just active on social media, are getting opportunities instead. It’s a harsh reality that social media rules everything nowadays.”
She adds, “If you are famous on social media, you may become an actress since lip-sync and dancing make you famous nowadays. You can be an actor if you have a large number of followers. You’ll have a chance, whether you’re a good or an awful actress.”
