Ash has her strengths and weakness She is excellent in dramatic roles,tragic roles..or roles where she plays a stong graceful woman.She uses her eyes very well!No onecan replace her as Paro,Nandini,Guru's wife,Jodha etc
She is terrible at comedies and roles which requires her toplay regular heroine's role.Her very posture,walk,laugh everything looks artificial..it is also because,with her drop dead gorgeous looks..she seems so out of place.
If you take Hrithik Roshan and ask him to play Govinda's role in Partner..or any of Priyadarshan kind of comedies..it will fall flat,because he is so graceful and poised otherwise...a DemiGod!
Most actors have certain limitations,especially if they are either phisically very ordinary,or fabulously goodlooking.
The recent polls done by,Indian Express,Filmfare(taken in a dozen cities)..is proof that Ash's contemporaries like Rani ,Preity and Priyanka..just filled her place after her fallout with Salman.Their films with Srk made their careers..that too temporarily.But only Aishwariya survived and came back stronger with 'kajra re',Dhoom2,Guru,JA etc..
Others just faded...(Priyanka's last hit was Don)..you know Preity's and Rani's..
