Actress Anjana Sukhani, who had previously criticized filmmaker Nikkhil Advani for being “mean and harsh” and for not informing her about a kissing scene with Anil Kapoor in the 2007 film Salaam-E-Ishq, has once again spoken out—this time about being excluded from the promotional activities of the 2019 blockbuster Good Newwz. Despite playing a crucial role in the film, Sukhani expressed her disappointment over being sidelined during the marketing campaign.
Good Newwz featured an ensemble cast led by Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh. Sukhani portrayed the role of Akshay’s on-screen sister, a character she believes was essential to the storyline. In an interview, she shared her thoughts on the situation, acknowledging the immense star power of her co-actors while emphasizing the significance of her role in the film.
She reflected on her career’s ups and downs, admitting that there had been challenging periods before landing her part in Good Newwz. While she was grateful for the opportunity, the complete omission from the film’s promotions left her feeling overlooked and disheartened. She questioned the marketing strategy behind such a decision, stating that although she understood the primary focus on the film’s lead couples, she found it unfair to be entirely excluded from promotional activities.
Anjana Sukhani candid revelations highlight the struggles faced by actors who may not be in lead roles but still contribute significantly to a film’s narrative. Her experience serves as a reminder of the often-unspoken challenges in the entertainment industry, where visibility and recognition sometimes depend more on star power than on an actor’s actual contribution to the story.
