Delnaaz Irani is well-known both in the Bollywood and television industries. She has kept us entertained with her outstanding performances in a variety of movies, like Virgin Bhanupriya, Ra.One, and Kal Ho Naa Ho. Unfortunately, the actress is unemployed and forced to follow Neena Gupta’s example in asking producers to cast her.
Neena Gupta asked directors to cast her in a message she published on her Instagram account back in 2017. Many actors, including Priyanka Chopra, praised her for making such a daring move. The veteran actor has worked on numerous successful films, such as 83, Badhaai Ho, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, and many others.
Delnaaz Irani in a new conversation with Siddharth Kannan has taken a similar route as she said, “I’m no Neena Gupta, but maybe someone will watch this and something will work out. There used to be a connect directly with the directors and producers. Satish Kaushik saw Kal Ho Naa Ho and called me… These days, that connection has been lost. It’s more of going and struggling with the casting directors… This whole middle structure that is there, that is something I still need to figure out. It’s like, you have to go to their offices. There’s a lot of groupism, and camps.”
Delnaaz Irani further exposed the dark side of Bollywood as she added, “My friends have told me that casting directors aren’t giving them work because they don’t have blue ticks on social media. These people have been a part of the industry for two decades, they’ve played leads.”
