Ameesha Patel questions large film promotion entourages
Ameesha focused on the expense of keeping such teams in place. She said that, in some cases, an actress' promotion entourage can cost more than the film earns on day one.
She wrote, “Many female actresses are in denial of their stardom; their entourage during film promotions which comes at the cost of the producers are bigger then their day 1 collection hope they have the same entourage in their regular life minus a producer paying for it. (sic)”
The comment came after an X user asked Ameesha, “Mam what do you feel of the many stars who are carrying extra entourage at the producers cost for their shoots. Is it the correct thing to do?”
