In a recent interview, neha sharma recounted a disappointing experience professionally. She said she was all set to star in a project, but the filmmakers replaced her with a social media influencer at the last minute. Discussing the same at length, Sharma Gal recalled that the reason for removing her was that the woman had a huge social media following. 

I went to the auditions. I participated in four or five sessions. I got along with the whole team. I fit the first part of this movie. Meanwhile, suddenly I got a call that I was not selected. When I asked them what happened, I found out that they chose an influencer with millions (like lakhs) of followers,'' she said. 

In this, Neha herself took a selfie in a top angle and posted it on Instagram. In this selfie video, Neha has revealed her beauty in various poses. But what is the reason for doing this can be understood based on what she revealed earlier in the interview. She complained that she was fired from a project involuntarily. Sharma expressed her opinion that some filmmakers now feel that social media influencers can bring people to theatres, but the filmmakers are asked to cast talent based on acting talent. 


Sharma mentioned that only a small number of actors are selected for auditions. She explained that once directors shortlist actors based on their criteria for a project, the options become very limited. Neha also recalls how there was immense pressure on stars who had a lot of theatrical releases in the past. But Sharma felt that times have changed. She expressed optimism that as the industry evolves, there will be more opportunities for everyone.
