some viral tweets/FB posts about suhana's cover.Do u agree with them?
Bhumika chheda:
I am a struggling TV actor and I'll tell you why people and other fellow struggling actors including me are annoyed because Suhana Khan is on the Vogue India cover. But before that, let me tell you my credibility. I have worked in a few episodics, 3 digital ads and a DD1 show.
A
normal struggling actor spends his/her/families (if new) money to travel
EVERYDAY (almost) to various studios to ask for work. What happens when you are
not dressed appropriately as per audition requirements? They ask us to come again
another day.
Nobody gives a rat's ass as to how you are feeling that day, ill, sick,
okay, normal, abnormal, unhealthy, mentally ill, XYZ! It's a race and you got
to be there standing in a queue waiting for long hours, perhaps even 4-5 hours
because you got to. No excuse!
Imagine going everyday for a new test and getting rejected over and over again due to XYZ reasons. And trust me, the reason isn't talent ALL THE TIME. It varies.
Thus! The reason I am annoyed is because when Suhana Khan had to step into the Vogue India office, nobody told her "you don't fit the requirement." To wake up each mrng with the same amount of motivation for the same agenda each day, every day, try that! I promise it isn't easy!
Aparna : The fact that we are all discussing Suhana Khan, a non-entity is a good reason that nepotism exists. Media has become all abt paparazzi culture where we r constantly fed with updates on the lives of celebrity kids. If we stop giving them media space, they won't be made into stars
Vogue has always been an institution. Ask any writer how many times their pitches were rejected or the multiple rounds of interviews they faced to get a job. To be on the cover on the magazine is a slap on the face of all those who have struggled to get a job in Vogue for peanuts
