Athiya Shetty exploits the power of image manager
Showbiz is all about image. How a star portrays himself or
herself, is what public perceives about him/ her. Their image managers and
publicists play a major role in that. For instance, Salman Khan who we knew as
a bratty star kid back in the 90s is now known for his magnanimity. Didn’t Being
Human, his PR's one of the most successful exercises, changed his public image
just like that. The multiple court cases, from black buck to hit and run,
everything is wiped out of public’s mind. Instead a lot of his fans have
started empathising with him, every time he is called for the hearings. Apart from
playing goody-two-shoes roles in films, he endorses some of the popular brands too.
Not to mention, the well-publicised causes he is associated to. His journey makes
a solid case for the new crop of actor who now swear by the power of image
makers in the industry.
Taking a cue from this, Sonam Kapoor who had debuted a
decade ago and was desperate for star status, built an image that of a
fashionista and see today, she is the first name that comes to mind when
talking of fashion. From ramps to endorsements, she features amongst the top stars.
Capitalising on that image, she also bagged some of the big-ticket movies that improved
her box office performance too.
As we say, history repeats itself, Athiya Shetty’s career
journey so far reflects the same. She too is making career moves that are more
or less same as that of Sonam Kapoor. Along with her films, her collaborations with
lifestyle and fashion brands are going on in full-swing. Hard to believe? Check
out her Instagram and you’ll know what we are talking about. From fashion labels
to jewellery brands, her endorsements boast of a range of lifestyle categories. Films?
The Hero actress too is just another star kid in B-town yet with hardly anything great to
talk about her acting chops or star value. Anyway, we wish her good luck. Hope
she too scales new heights like Sonam Kapoor with her smart moves.
