Why did Kajol say, today’s actors are not icons, are brands? Big secrets opened before the new web series:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Kajol, who ruled millions of hearts with the 90s and even today, is ready to return to a new avatar. The discussion about his upcoming web series ‘Mayanagari – City of Dreams’ is in full swing. But before this series, Kajol has said something that has launched a new debate in the entire industry.

Kajol, who ruled Bollywood for more than three decades, now considers herself a “veteran” i.e. a “veteran actor”. During a recent conversation, he told that in so many years he has seen the industry changing a lot. But the biggest change he has felt is the journey to become a ‘brand’ from an ‘actor’.

“Now actors have become brands, not just icons”

Kajol clearly said that being an actor in today’s time is not limited to acting in front of the camera. It has become a 360-degree job. He said, “Earlier actors used to be only icons, they used to have a personal life, a secret. But today, actors have become a product, are a brand that is sold continuously.”

What is the meaning of becoming this ‘brand’?

Kajol’s saying is very deep. Today, an actor has to do ‘acting’ not only in his film or series, but also on social media, in interview, in public appearance, everywhere. They have to look perfect all the time, maintain their image. They have to put a lot of emphasis to promote their film, which did not happen earlier.

Kajol believes that this is the truth of today and it also creates a pressure. She said that when she sees young actors like Ibrahim Ali Khan, she can understand how much pressure she is at all times.

Bollywood of 70s will be seen in ‘Mayanagari’

Amidst these changes, Kajol is adopting herself and is ready to appear to the audience with his new web series ‘Mayanagari’. The series is a gangster drama based on the background of the 1970s Bombay film industry. It will be interesting to see what a “veteran” actor of today shows amazing in the story of that era.

Kajol’s words make us think that today’s actor in this world of dazzling has become just a ‘brand’, whose brightness is determined by social media likes and followers?
