Days after she went off Instagram following an announcement note, Alizeh Shah returned to the social site, criticising those who sell their self-respect or use ‘parchi (connections)’ to get certain projects and roles, while those against these unethical practices to advance their careers, are labelled as ‘difficult and unprofessional’.
“Oh, the perks of being ‘professional’ in this industry,” Shah began to write. She continued, “Dinners without projects and, of course, the sacred closed-door rituals. Say no, and suddenly you’re battameez, difficult, and ‘not serious about your career’.”
“Well, thank God I missed the memo on selling self-respect as part of the PR package. If that’s the price of being a celebrity, I’m more than happy staying just human,” maintained the ‘Taqdeer’ actor.
In a following story post, the celebrity asserted that these ‘connections’ of fellow celebrities would only benefit them in Pakistan and not in any other part of the world.
On the work front, Alizeh Shah has delivered impressive performances in a number of superhit serials including ‘Taqdeer’, ‘Dil Mom Ka Diya’, ‘Mera Dil Mera Dushman’ and the telefilm ‘Chand Raat Aur Chandni’.
