I respectfully disagree with her balanced view. It's very wrong. Trained actors from FTII and NSD struggle for years. An influencer with 10 million followers gets a lead role overnight. Where is the justice? This trend is killing real talent.

As a Marathi viewer, I've seen Snehlata Tai's work. She knows the grind. Her point is valid—hard work is the ultimate decider. But let's be real, producers just want to sell tickets with a ready-made audience. Hope the new folks are ready for the camera's test!

Interesting perspective. In the West, we see similar trends. The key is whether they can act. Some can't, and it shows. But if they bring a fresh energy and work hard, like she says, it can be a win for everyone.

Ultimately, the audience is the king. If an influencer-turned-actor can't deliver, the public will reject them, no matter the followers. The market will correct itself. Good luck to her for her Hindi debut! Vashikaranam sounds exciting.

It's a business at the end of the day. If casting an influencer guarantees initial viewership, producers will do it. But I hope they also invest in proper acting workshops for them. A pretty face and reels won't work in a full-length horror thriller!
