Samir Soni criticized the common belief that good looks are enough to succeed in acting
Samir Soni recently highlighted the brutal realities of the acting profession by reflecting on the career of Bollywood superstar Rajesh Khanna. At the height of his fame, Khanna’s car would be mobbed by fans, with female admirers leaving lipstick marks and letters written in blood.
However, this adoration waned drastically during his downfall, when he was often ignored on film sets.
Soni criticized the common belief that good looks are enough to succeed in acting, labeling such a notion as delusional. He emphasized that the industry is fickle and that maintaining relevance requires much more than appearance.
He pointed out that actors need resilience and a broad skill set to navigate the highs and lows of their careers. The career of Rajesh Khanna serves as a poignant example of how quickly fortunes can change in the world of showbiz.
