Amidst the pressure on celebrities not to repeat clothes or accessories like bags, yesteryear actress Poonam Dhillon said filmstars should recycle and re-use clothes.
"Today there is pressure on every heroine. There is a lot of pressure not to repeat clothes or bags. If I use the same bag three times, the media will show it saying I am repeating it," said the 53-year-old actress while speaking at 'Women Economic Forum' which is currently underway here.
"I think filmstars should not be pressurised to do that. They should be allowed to recycle and use the same clothes," she said.
The actress, who is known for her role in 1979-film 'Noorie', said today various brands offer clothes to the celebrities as product endorsement has become a huge business.
"Today truth does not sell but perception does. Filmstars endorse beauty products, which at times they might not even use. We endorse the product and make innocent people in India spend their money on buying the same products," she added.
