Content creator and popular TikTok star Jannat Mirza has said that when it comes to choosing between movies or social media, she’s all in for TikTok.
Appearing as a guest on Girls Only podcast with Dananeer Mobeen, the TikToker opened up about her career and why she would always choose TikTok over the big screen.
“I think our generation doesn’t like to go to the cinema anymore. They prefer sitting at home, relaxing, and using their phones. They just scroll through TikTok instead. Right now, everyone is using TikTok because it’s an easy platform. You have your phone and you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want. So, I would prefer TikTok over cinema,” she explained.
To a question about how her journey started, Mirza said she didn’t have any interest in social media at first. “I actually wanted to become a police officer, just like my father. But by chance, I became a social media star.”
Reflecting on her early days on TikTok, she said that she started in 2017 when videos that told stories within 15 seconds were trending.
“I made many such video at the time, but now I find them pointless and don’t like to watch them,” the Tere Bajre Di Rakhi actress added.
Earler, Tiktok star Jannat Mirza appeared as a guest on ‘Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast, Excuse Me’.
Host Ahmed Ali Butt asked her, “Syed Noor thought your followers would watch the film, but they didn’t. How do you feel about his statement, especially since you were part of his film?”
Jannat replied, “Well, I think the movie’s script was a little weak. Let me tell you, that movie was good; I did it with my parents’ permission; I’m not sure why he said that, and a successful film needs a modern script and story. Syed Noor is my uncle, and I respect him a lot. Also, I did the movie because I thought that I should try acting in films.”
“I thought they [the producers] were telling me a nice story, but it was actually something else. I didn’t do my homework because it was my first time, and the Canadian male lead also made his debut in this movie,” she explained, “I was let down after seeing it. I had no idea at the time that I should read the script before shooting a movie.”
