Sandhya On Losing Work Due To Low Followers
Sandhya Mridul took to Instagram and shared a video expressing her frustration and slamming the casting trend over followers count. In the clip, she was heard saying, "There’s a new situation that if you don’t have followers, you would not get work. But if you don’t give me work, how will I get famous? If I were not famous, how would I get followers? If I did not have followers, how would I get famous, and then how would I get work? You are understanding, right?"
She further revealed that her manager told her that she lost roles because she looks ‘rich’. The actress added, “On top of that, my manager told me the work I did, I lost that because one, I don’t have followers and second, my look is rich. But it is only my looks that are rich, not me. Because if you don’t give me work, I will not have followers. When I will not have followers, then I will not be famous. If I will not be famous, then I will not have work, and will not have money, so only my look will be rich, I would not be. Kindly help.'
