The Actors. - Page 14

I disagree. Aishwarya has her share of movies where she has acted well but those movies have been ignored - just as SRK's have been - hence the comparison. Iruvar, Choker Bali, Raincoat, Kandukondain Kandukondain, Provoked etc are movies where Aishwarya has been every bit as good as (if not better because she has done a larger variety of movies than SRK has) SRK has been in movies like Swades or Kabhi Ha Kabhi Na. Ironically, the "I'm the most beautiful woman in the world" tag which you claim has brought her to the forefront also has played its disadvantages. Her beauty often overrides her talent. That is another thing females have to face - the prettier they are, the more harshly they are criticized - Aishwarya, Deepika are examples of that. The actresses all can't be girl-next-doors.

As far as I remember, Katrina was criticized for being given that honor, wasn't she? Not saying she deserved the award, because she didn't in my opinion. Yes, it is sad that people like Katrina are being heralded by the media as one of the best but the same critics also tear her up over her acting prowess (or lack thereof). But then, we must also acknowledge as you implied that directors are regulating actresses to roles that do not have a lot of substance.

P.S. Haven't we deviated so much from the original conversation?

Aftab was really good in that movie he did with amisha and esha deol. Or maybe it was the female leads that was carrying the movie instead of him. It's a good movie.

Hungama was a very funny movie. I loved akshay khanna in it. Akshay is seriously underrated actor

True, but still you won't criticize a beautiful face like Madhuri or from recent times, a face like Priyanka's - why? because their acting speaks volume. I still feel Aish has received recognition more through her beauty than through her acting abilities. Deepika has a long way to go, for now - I really think she's just a beautiful face. There's always something in actors that we can pick on as well. I always hear people saying it's hrithik's dance moves that make him who he is, not his acting, or because Abhishek is a "Bachan" he has survived in this industry. So, if anything when actors/actresses fail to impress through their acting skills, people just pick on their looks/figure/whatever else. Doesn't mean it's only the females who are harshly criticized.

Nevertheless, I agree with your points too. I guess there are always exceptions in every case, but in terms of acting - there is talent from both sides.

p.s Yeah, we have deviated from the original topic, but that seems to happen to often in nearly every thread here, and we're not the only ones.😆
