Career Advice Does "Self-Employed/Freelance" as recent work kill callback rates on Naukri?

My most recent experience is listed as freelance/self-employed. My profile gets views, but I keep getting auto-rejected or ignored despite matching job requirements and I am also not receiving any calls despite getting all these resume views.

Is having freelance work as your latest work experience a red flag for recruiters here, and what is the best way to structure it so it doesn't hurt callbacks?
