We'll never know if her married name is the only factor that helps her to survive in BW cause she is now a Bachchan so we can speculate forever IF so & so (useless to my eyes) - thing is sure - some people do pay her respect & show consideration for her JUST because she is a B....😊 And she does show more confidence & sometimes arrogance because she knows now people will think twice before messing with her & mocking her that's a mere fact...
So the Bachchan tag does help her in a way..since it helps Amithab (who is HIMSELF a Brand) to still get projects like it will pbbly do for his son..why not for bahurani 😛😛😛😛😊😊😊?
How can one be sure about the fact ONLY her "talent" does help her to stick around when we ALL know she's a beauty Queen but clearly not the BO's one.....?
Not to mention all the endorsements she gets which give her a fabulous notoriety in India and outside as well......
Aish being popular I don't know - Aish being famous yes she is......
We can compare her case to Elvis's - who remembers now his movies when he used to shoot non stop....? Almost no one...whether his successful movies or his last ones which were utter flops..almost no one...but he did movies cause he was a famous singer not because he was among the best actors...
Aish does movies cause she's famous & celebrated for her beauty and her name does the talking TOO when one of her movie is about to release....
And being in the Bachchan's camp is a "blessing" 😛😛😛😛 for her when it's become a curse for Rani to stick to YRF.....just let us NOT be blind & delusional on this....
In the West - no one will say --- am so waiting the last Aish Rai...nobody considers her as a great actress more a beauty queen...😊
When Aryan or Suhana Khan do films - the reason will pbbly be because they were born talented?.....And not because they're son & daughter of SRK 😕....of course.....they may be both talented & priviledged...They'll always live in the shadow of their dad's fame......no matter how skilled & talented they are....or will be.....
I do think Aish does stick around thanks to her international fame...and her married name...didn't she make such a publicity houpla about her marriage --- oprah winfrey's show...if it didn't count in her image why would she bother about introducing her hubby to the world....? In Cannes & in the US...
Of course she can act good with a good director...but it's not like if she's an acting icon either...
And in BW it's kinda a trend/normal to be a flop star (only few have repetitive successes) ---- and still being either famous or popular for some reason...Salman had a string of flops but he always got film offers....Same goes Abhi....But they're both in their own way have some talent...they won over the audience's heart not necessarily their purse...😕 because they have some BO's failures too....
The only ones who are popular & successful (most of the times these last years) are Aamir & SRK...and maybe Salman recently.😛 And because they're more creative & entertaining than other BW actors in the marketing process.
Being a Bachchan is a part of Aish's PR...to promote herself and her movies...for sure 😊
