- Ameesha Patel questioned the cost of large entourages during film promotions.
- She said some actresses’ entourage expenses can exceed their films’ day 1 collections.
- Ameesha made a major comeback with Gadar 2 in 202
Ameesha Patel has questioned the growing trend of actors travelling with large entourages during film promotions, especially when the expenses are covered by producers.
The actor recently shared her views on the practice during an ‘Ask Me Anything' session on X. It all started when a user asked her whether stars carrying an extra entourage at the producer's cost was fair.
Responding to the question, Ameesha pointed to the money involved in maintaining such teams. She claimed that in some cases, the cost of an actress' entourage during promotions can be higher than what her film earns on its opening day.
She wrote, “Many female actresses are in denial of their stardom; their entourage during film promotions which comes at the cost of the producers are bigger then their day 1 collection hope they have the same entourage in their regular life minus a producer paying for it. (sic)”
The comment came after an X user asked Ameesha, “Mam what do you feel of the many stars who are carrying extra entourage at the producers cost for their shoots. Is it the correct thing to do?”
