New Delhi. Zoya Hussain, who is 33 years old, made her debut in films with Anurag Kashyap’s film ‘Muqabla’ released in 2017. People liked her acting in this film very much. After this film, people praised her acting in her web series ‘Grahan’. Apart from this, Zoya was seen in other films and web series but she was not that famous. Recently, once again she was seen in Manoj Bajpayee’s 100th film ‘Bhaiyaji’. This film received mixed reactions. After the release, Zoya is continuously promoting this film and giving a lot of interviews. Amidst all this, she has revealed that she was dropped from many projects due to her followers on Instagram.
In a conversation with Indian Express, Zoya Hussain spoke openly about her career and the upcoming obstacles. She told that when her first film was released, she was very excited. But her film and she did not get as much support as other star kids get. According to the report, she said- When one of your films comes in the cinemas, it feels exciting. Even if those films are unlike those of star kids. Because nothing was given on our plate and they did not have ‘marketing or PR push’.
Dropped from a film because of having fewer followers on Instagram?
What Zoya said next is quite surprising. While answering a question, she said that she is not interested in Instagram at all. She does not like to show off on such social sites. She prefers meeting and chatting with people rather than texting. It is a bit strange but true that casting calls depend on the number of followers of a celebrity. She further said that she does not know if it is because of Instagram specifically or for some other reason that she was dropped from many projects. It was because she had less followers on Instagram or she was not very famous. This is definitely something that she has faced many times.
