#SHOWBIZ: Qistina Khaled: 'Having many followers isn't a ticket to becoming an actor'

In the entertainment industry of Malaysia, having a large number of social media followers is now considered a vital factor in gaining entry into acting. Actress Qistina Khaled has spoken out about this trend, sharing her thoughts on the matter. According to Qistina, while having many followers can be beneficial, it is not necessarily a guarantee of success in acting.

She believes that social media popularity should not be the sole criterion for judging an individual's potential in the arts. Qistina emphasized that genuine talent, discipline, and dedication are more important factors for an aspiring actor to succeed. She stressed that merely chasing popularity without honing one's skills and performing well in the industry would not lead to long-term success.

Qistina believes that a true passion for acting and a genuine intention to work in the field are the key ingredients for a future star. She concluded by stating that talent and the earnest desire to excel in the industry should always be a priority for any aspiring celebrity.
