Popular actor Iqbal Khan, who is known for his versatile roles and amazing acting skills, is not very active on social media. The actor is someone who prefers to stay away from the limelight and believes his work to do the talking. Recently, during a chat with ETimes TV, the actor opened up about the latest trend where celebrities are selected on the basis of their social media following. Iqbal doesn’t believe in this trend and strongly feels people who want to do serious work will always prefer actors over social media influencers.
“I don’t know who are these actors that are complaining that casting happens because of how many followers you have on Instagram. Any serious filmmaker or television show maker, they look for actors. Yes, I agree it is a bonus if they are stars and have a lot of followers. But primarily it is acting and that is what they look for because that goes for a long run. There is no use taking somebody who has a lot of followers but doesn’t know how to act,” he said.
