Ameesha Patel has been vocal about several important issues in Bollywood. She acknowledges that there is a significant pay disparity between male and female actors. While she accepts some difference due to box office appeal, she feels the gap is too wide and should be reduced to be fairer.
She also spoke against ageism in the industry, pointing out that many older actresses continue to deliver great performances but are often sidelined because of their age, which she believes is unfair.
Ameesha has criticized the widespread practice of celebrities buying fake followers on social media to boost their popularity artificially. She feels this damages genuine fan relationships and that true engagement matters much more than inflated numbers.
Reflecting on her own career, Ameesha stressed that real stardom comes from the quality of films and audience appreciation rather than media hype or PR. She cites the success of her film Gadar 2 as proof that genuine audience support is the ultimate measure of success.
