Shweta Basu Prasad has always wanted to avoid the interest rate competition. That is why she is unconcerned about the current practice of casting someone based on how many Instagram followers they have. 'Mediocrity is celebrated to a new level,' she feels.
She says, “I know about it. It is fair for people to come to your profile and check how you look right now. 10-20 years ago people used to go door to door, with their portfolios. Now that has just become digital, people come to your profile and see how you look. But to do something you don’t believe in just for the heck of numbers... I am not sure I would want to participate in that.”
With saying 'not a healthy culture' she continues, “It is very weird that this is going to get you numbers and someone will cast you on the basis of this. This is the nepotism debate- somebody is again being preferred for their numbers and not talent. How do I react to that?”
About Mediocrity is celebrated, she says, “I am not surprised such agencies go to new actors and tell them to do this and that, And those new people think that’s what is going to get them numbers and work. I think this is a big hoax, what if there is no Instagram tomorrow?”
