Just curious for all those who believe Aish's bachchan tag is helping her stick around longer than the usual bollywood actress - had she not gotten married or gotten married to someone else - would directors have stopped coming up to her?

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 😊

For a 37 year old married actress to sustain for so long cannot be just for one reason.
IMO combination of a lot of factors like the Bachchan tag, her looks, her acting abilities, her personality, not getting associated with one particular camp.... Just a right mix of everything. 😊

i agree...i think she was quite popular before the last name in 2007...but of course the name just gave an extra boost! It didn't hurt her, but i think she was def something way before she became Bachchan! I think her looks and talent kept her going, plus the international attention!!

She has a strong fan following, she's made her way up by her own dedication and hardwork (nothing to do with Bachans, because she was already sucessful) and she has such a variety of roles!
And I guess, being one of the world's most beautiful woman helps but only a little! Her talent is widely appreciated!

yeh ash is around coz she a bacchan bahu, katrinas around coz of salman and akshay...its getting soo old...!! success dosen't just come from one thing...there is obviously something in them that attracts the audience and it cant just be good looks because then, even sushmita sen would have done much better than shes doing rite now....therz a bit of everything which contributes towards her success and yes...acting is one of them...and we have to acknowledge that fact.

I don't buy this argument that somehow if she is around.. and is popular then it is because she can act.. i mean if you remove subjectivity thing from acting and go by the critics.. then even katrina kaif is around she is also popular.. by the generally accepted standards.. is katrina around just coz of her acting.. no.. you can be a weak actor and still be popular and still be relevant.. and there are some of the finest actors who can act and who have given great performances but they are not as popular.. popularity has got nothing to do with acting in bollywood.. it can be due to other factors also..

whether or not she's a good actor is an individual opinion, but the argument is invalid when people try to attribute all her success to her being a bachchan! Of course she was famous and popular before that tag came along! Also there's a handful of reasons why she's popular...and I agree popularity has nothing to do with acting or else tabu and konkona would be the most popular!

Sorry but Kat & Aish benefited from Salman in a way...so denying they had his "help" is being wayy too naive...
No one can say that x or y is there JUST BECAUSE one factor - it' s the combination of several ones which make an actor popular or not popular...
As far as Aish's fans are concernced - they should go & watch her movies and make them hit - it will be the most relevant reply acc to me....saying over & over she gets script ONLY because of her talent is completely delusional....

Yes judgements on actor's acting is generally about opinions but there is a generalized opinion that we all share about actors also.. like there are a lot of people who collectively believe that tabu and koko can act and their names surface often as actors who are known for their performance.. it does not mean that there aren't people out there who dislike them.. but i guess collectively a lot of people believe that.. I think a lot of articles like these are coming out about Ash coz she has failed to excite bollywood box office.. this year.. i don't consider robot a hit for bollywood in such coz it was just a hit in south.. its hindi version failed at the boxoffice.. and i think every actress whose movies flop faces such articles..Chalo lets hope guzaarish manages to shut the critics..and journos.
