first of all...i didn't start the comparison and don't think they should be compared...just responding to all the comparisons! Also yeah...Ash did get good reviews for ravaan! I can find them for you if you want! And she good reviews for raincoat, chokher bali, guru, provoked, JA....and none of these were SLB productions! So it's not a SLB thing!

Also kat is in the Indian Film Industry...so yeah we're gonna compare her to indian actresses and indian roles! Plus if she wanted to talk in english then hello...there's hollywood and british film indystry too!!! so def not unfair nor weird!!

Ash didn't get any rave reviews for raavan, i personally liked her acting but north indian critics didn't like her acting in raavan... a lot of reviews were referring to her screaching.. and screaming and her annoying voice in raavan. And Ash isn't a higly rated actress in bollywood, most often she is rated highly in SLB movies, otherwise people still call her a cold and a wooden actress... Yes after her debut in aur pyaar ho gaya and her movies like jeans she was heavily criticized for her icy expression and her wooden acting... She is usually praised for her beauty and elegence.. but critics do always criticize her for her inability to give more natural performances... About Katrina as I said it again.. if you wanna compare her.. then look at her background.. and circumstances.. and the fact that she is in an industry which is not native to her...Of course it is much easier for Ash to do Indian roles than Katrina coz she is born and bred in India.. If you wanna compare ash then compare her to actresses of indian descent.. of her time.. kajol, rani, priyanka, kareena, tabu, konkona, vidya balan.. these people have more critically acclaimed performances than ash.. which haved worked at boxoffice too.

So to compare Katrina's performances.. I would compare her performance in New york, Ajab, Namaste london to what ash did in hollywood.. which is pink panther.. and bride and prejudice.. Katrina was hands down much much better in her bolly roles that Ash' s half attempts at acting in pink panther.. and all.. I would say in namaste london Katrina was as close to any of Ash' s performances in Bollywood even.

oh please...that performance was close to hum dil, devdas, raincoat, chokher bali,etc.! No way!! If anything kat's role in NL is semi-close to Ash's role in kuch na kaho, but even then aish outdoes kat!

Why SHOULDN'T Katrina be compared to the other actresses she's competing with? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If she chose to be a part of this industry without knowing the language/culture, that doesn't translate into lauding every word of Hindi she speaks without an accent and praising every expression she gets right. There is absolute no reason she should be compared using different standards than those that are used for the other actresses. She's been in the industry for 7 years now and that is more than enough time for someone to get acclimatized to a new place. Why in the world are people still trying to defend her saying "Oh she's still an outsider. But look, she works so hard! And look, she said two sentences in Hindi without an accent! And look, she was able to play a character that was essentially her real-life personality with conviction!"

Give me a break. And I'm not even sure how Ash entered this topic but if Katrina's Namaste London performance is being compared to Ash's in Hum Dil, that's gotta be the funniest thing I've ever heard. And I'm not even an Ash fan. Katrina has not given a single performance that is worth remembering. She has improved, yes. But if she hadn't improved after 7 years, I would seriously be doubting her basic human intelligence.

Thats your perspective.. and opinion.. its not a fact.. Some might think that her performance in Namaste london was better than any ash perfromance.. or maybe it wasn't. We all have opinions.. of course the people who go and watch Katrina's performances.. go for her.. so general junta is happy with her acting.. and there is a critic in every one of us who has an opinion.. If you are talking solely on basis of critical reviews.. then there have been actresses who have gotten better reviews than Ash.. and they have been more consistent than Ash. Yes if you just take critical reviews.. then Ash has gotten better reviews than Kat.. but then general junta also likes Kat.. so she has backing.. and that is why she is still going strong.

Its not a joke that people like Katrina's acting. Its reality, you can see it everywhere, people go and watch her movies. Yes she is not a critics darling, but still people support her and its their choice. I don't like it when you try to pass your opinions as facts, liking someone's acting isn't based on just your logics.. people can like different actors based on their own logics.

once again...it's a fact, but an opinion! weird..you seem to be stating your opinion like it's a fact!! also not everyone likes kat b/c she's a "good actress"...a lot has to do with her charm, personality and looks! and no one is passing their opinion as a fact...but i guess nowadays putting forth your opinion in a logical and reasonable way passes as a fact! Cool! Also...we having a healthy discussion...full of personal opinions!
