Introduction

Two actors, Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani, talk about their hard work in Bollywood.

Main Body

Kriti Sanon says some people get roles because their parents are famous. This is not fair. She also says women often get less money than men. Kiara Advani says good acting is not enough. If a movie does not make money, directors do not call her. She had to do many auditions for five years. Both actors say they had to be strong. They worked hard to find success in the movie business.

Conclusion

The movie industry still has many unfair rules.

Learning

The 'Not' Secret 🚫

In this story, we see a pattern used to say something is wrong or missing. We use not + adjective.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Not fair →\rightarrow (It is bad/wrong)
  • Not enough →\rightarrow (More is needed)

How to build your own: Just put "not" before the describing word.

  • Happy →\rightarrow Not happy
  • Easy →\rightarrow Not easy
  • Expensive →\rightarrow Not expensive

Quick Tip: Use this when you want to describe a problem simply. Instead of saying "It is unfair," you can say "It is not fair."
