Bitter experience of working for free: Shehnaaz now fights for her rights
Shahnaz Gill believes that only the right fee for work gives real respect to a person. While narrating the bitter truth of his early days, he said that in the initial phase of his career, he worked for many people absolutely free of cost. But in return she did not get the respect and attention she deserved. For this reason, she has now decided that she will not do any work without remuneration. Shehnaaz never hesitates in demanding fees according to her hard work and strongly raises her voice for her rights. However, she says that if the story of the film is extraordinary and the script really has some substance, then she makes a little compromise in the fees.
Strict avoidance of becoming mere ‘show-piece’ or means of glamor in films
Shehnaaz Gill’s approach towards cinema and acting is very transparent and serious. She says that she does not become a part of any cheap or absurd project just to earn money. They have many other avenues available for earning like advertisements, brand endorsements and big events. She does not want to work in films just to be a decorative object or to add a touch of glamour. If her character in a big film is not strong, she rejects that too without any hesitation. Apart from this, Shehnaaz admitted that she does not know the art of persuading or flattering the producers to get a role and she does not even want to learn it.
