Ameesha Patel hits out at Zakir Khan again:Says ‘It’s easy to joke about achievers, become a superstar first’

Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel has once again expressed displeasure over comedian Zakir Khan’s statement, in which Zakir had said that the entire industry is jealous of the success of the film ‘Dhurandhar 2’. Ameesha, calling Zakir’s statement wrong, said that it is very easy to make fun of an achiever, but it is very difficult to reach that position. The actress clarified that the industry is not insecure about the success of this film, but rather is learning from it. It’s easy to make jokes about achievers
Recently, during an interview, Ameesha spoke about this controversy, saying, “I know Zakir personally, but I must say one thing: it’s very easy to stand on stage and talk about achievers and make fun of them. First, become an achiever or a superstar, then when a joke is made about you, I’ll see how you take it. It’s not right to make jokes by belittling someone.” The industry is not jealous, it’s learning
Ameesha also dismissed Zakir’s claim that he was talking about jealousy. The actress questioned, “Did anyone call you and tell you that ‘Dhurandhar’ was a hit and I feel insecure? How did you know this?” According to Ameesha, after the release of ‘Dhurandhar 2’, filmmakers like Ram Gopal Varma and many actors have praised the film. People are considering this film as a benchmark and are trying to improve their work. Competition leads to improvement
Ameesha believes that competition is not bad. She said, “If we don’t face competition, how will we make ourselves better? How will we give good content to the audience? We need someone to inspire us to do better to improve our shortcomings. Zakir should have said that we are learning from this film.” Ameesha quipped that she wants to know the names of those 10 people who called Zakir and told him about their insecurity. What was Zakir Khan’s statement?
This whole controversy started at an awards show, which Zakir Khan and Alia Bhatt were hosting. During the show, Zakir had said, “No matter how many congratulatory posts you put up or call it your favorite film in interviews, the truth is that ‘Dhurandhar 2’ has certainly made everyone burn. Bombs exploded in Lyari, but the smoke rose in Bandra and Juhu.” Ameesha Patel had previously criticised him for this very comment on the social media platform ‘X’.
