Actress Saiyami Kher said the commercial failure of the high‑budget film Ghoomer is disheartening and that a big budget does not automatically earn actors respect.
Saiyami Kher, who starred in the recent release Ghoomer, expressed disappointment over the film's poor box‑office performance, describing it as "disheartening" despite its reported ₹1,000 crore production budget.
She added that a massive financial outlay does not guarantee artistic recognition or respect for the actors involved, emphasizing that talent and audience connection matter more than numbers.
Industry observers noted that Ghoomer's failure challenges the common belief that high‑budget projects automatically translate into commercial success, prompting a broader conversation about content quality versus spending.
The actress's comments have sparked debate among filmmakers and critics about the evolving metrics of success in Bollywood's increasingly competitive market.
