Instagram proved costly for this actor, lost big projects!!!


Whether it is a common man or a celebrity, everyone uses social media. For celebrities, the use of social media is very beneficial. They stay connected with their fans and keep sharing every update related to their work with their fans. However, an actor has admitted that he has lost many projects due to Instagram. Recently, an actor surprised everyone by making this big revelation. This actor is a popular data-face of TV. He has also appeared in salman Khan's show 'Bigg Boss'. Here we are talking about Ankit Gupta. Apart from this issue, he has talked about many other issues in an interview given to 'Times of India'.


It doesn't seem like I am doing a hindi show

Ankit said, 'I tried to learn Marathi in the beginning, all my co-stars are Maharashtrians. I am barely able to understand what they are saying. They also speak very fast, so everything goes over my head. I was thinking 'It doesn't seem like I am doing a hindi show.'


Lost projects because of Instagram

Ankit Gupta further said, 'This is something I have never understood. I am still trying to understand social media. There have been cases where influencers have proved to be good actors but not always. I have also lost some projects because of Instagram. Now, the only reason I am on instagram is because I am an actor.'


Said such a thing about Hollywood

Ankit also made a statement about Hollywood. The tv actor said, 'But if you have seen in Hollywood, their top actors are not on social media and no matter how big an actor you are, you have to audition, prepare for your role and work with casting directors. Somewhere the way actors and casting directors work here is very different from Hollywood. And I think this is the main reason why we are facing this. If given the option, I would always prefer to work with people I am comfortable with. I won't call it wrong, but yes, if a particular kind of character is required, then you can fight with someone who fits that character better than you.
