'Staying relevant is important for actors'

She underlined that having an active social media presence is crucial in this digital age. It is the fact that people's attention spans have been shorter in recent years. As a result, in order to remain relevant, people in the spotlight are frequently bound to adhere to trends," she remarked. Preity continued by saying that this will increase their visibility and encourage producers and directors to approach them for projects. "For today's filmmakers, it primarily comes down to how bankable you are. I am not sure if I am a big admirer of this culture but it turns out that being up to date with all of things gives us more possibilities," she continued.
