What: Earlier this year, Priyanka Chopra Jonas made some startling disclosures about her Bollywood journey before transitioning to Hollywood and distancing herself from the industry. The actress spoke about conflicts with individuals, feeling isolated, and the presence of politics, which left everyone astonished. Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu has now expressed her thoughts on the existence of Bollywood cliques and power dynamics and has revealed that it has been a persistent phenomenon within the industry.
Furthermore: Taapsee avers, “Yes, Bollywood camps isn’t something that people don’t know about. It’s been there since forever. It can be basis (of) an actor’s friend circle, a certain agency or group that they’re a part of and people’s loyalties differ based on that. Everyone should have the right to choose whosoever they want to work with or have in their films. I can’t blame them for thinking about their own careers.”
We say: Perhaps Bollywood should introspect and cleanse its muddied system. Too many talented actors are losing hope simply because these so-called camps just don’t allow a new talent to flourish.
