The actress said that today, too much emphasis is put on the looks of actors and not on their art and skills. Ratna also believes that artists get work on the basis of their fan following on social media and not on their actual work. In an interview, Ratna said that she felt like she did not get work for a year because she was not on the social media platform Instagram.

The actress said, “I don’t know how to blame actors for this. Because these are the things that are asked. That’s what the world focuses on. You get work based on how many followers you have on Instagram. That’s what I heard. No one asked me because I’m not on Instagram.”

Ratna further said, “It is completely possible. I have been completely unemployed for the last one year. These are the things that matter a lot in today’s entertainment world.” It is known that Ratna is known for her outspoken opinion on various issues.
