mAshwathi Srikanth is an actress familiar to Layali. Apart from being an actress but also an anchor, Aswathi is active on social media sharing her views and experiences. The discussion on social media for the past few days has been about the problems faced by performers and artistes during interviews. Many people know that a person who is a presenter and an artist can take a good stand on this issue. That’s why Ashwati’s new reaction video is getting attention.
In the video, Ashwathi shared a lot about the environment in which artiste-performer issues arise, the frustrations of artistes’ on-the-fly interviews, the anxieties of performers and which side she is on. Ashwati clearly mentions each area and explains everything about it.
Let’s read the relevant parts of the stand
Artists are exhausted
After the release of any movie we see a 360 degree promotion. The aim of the filmmakers is to ascertain what the film is trying to convey and reach the maximum audience. Therefore, artists have a good pressure in that regard. They have postponed all other dates for this promotion. They will have to give many interviews on the same day. There are usually two or three continuous days of interviews, with only a change in dress. By the end of many days and evenings, the stars are exhausted. Although the onlookers seem to be talking happily, they are sitting with great difficulty. But because the matter is necessary for both groups, it is just that no one is frowning.
Backstage anxieties of performers
As someone who has done a lot of online interviews, if we go to a shoot, the main conversation we hear while standing backstage is about the mood of the actors. Not to mention especially if the presenters are newbies. It will be a lot of anxiety. Especially if we are senior actresses, we have many kinds of preconceived notions about many people. Often the presenters are afraid to go and sit in front of them. Many channelers will ask/have asked many questions, so presenters will aim to make their question viral/clickable.

Position of online channels
Since there are so many online channels, many channels are running a program where they write down questions that might go viral and then have someone host them in front of the camera. There are people who focus only on entertainment and do well. They know that people need entertainment more than information. Therefore, their questions will be like that. Now, if the actors respond to the question asked by the presenters in any way, it will be given an offensive title and uploaded on that channel itself.
What can be done?
Filmmakers have more to do in this regard. They can choose the type of interview they want first. They can tell you in advance what kind of questions to ask him and what he can and can’t ask himself. Performers have a choice. Often presenters don’t have that. What actors do now is interview everyone who comes. They know that they are sitting on a certain channel, and that the channel has already asked certain questions. After sitting down, it is not justifiable to ask what is this dash question. It is not the right trend to put your head everywhere by talking about the maskimum reach and put the whole blame on their head if they ask for something.
This is my opinion.
Many have been asking what my opinion is on the current issue. My opinion doesn’t matter much. Because justice is about standing with the victim once an abuse has taken place. So it is clear which side I am on. I also have a sense to think how we would feel lost if we had to listen to a bad language in our workplace, in front of our friends and others. Therefore, something that should never have happened has happened.
