havent u seen the interview huni?? she herself said tht actors are like beggars..and that beggars cannot be choosers....she's trying to find the best roles out of whtever little she is being offered....sure she might be offered movies....but are they plum offers?? doubt it

she said that i wanted to wait for the burger---she is looking for substantial roles, and mind u, i wud say rani's role in dil bole hadippa was much more substantial then kareena's role in G3 or 3 idiots!!! she also mentioned that she is out of the stage where she has to say 'yes' to every big film!

^^ You should know that I often use sarcasm to get my point across. 😉

My point is bollywood is a sexist industry. We can accept 45-50 yr old men working in movies even after giving a string of flops and that too in the most stupid meaningless immature roles but when a 30 yr old woman gives a few flops, NOOOOO we want her to retire, to make daal chaawal at home and popping babies every other year.

i sincerely hope that things change, and since rani is very talented i hope that she stays!

ya know why??? the ppl patronizing actors are mostly the female fans (Read gals) and the ppl patronizing heroines are guys (read all college guys and uncles)....so gals like their men to be slightly older, suave and debonair.....while guys like gals to be cutesy, young, frothy, chirpy yet "womanly" and "sexy"....so we dunt mind a saif or a shahrukh.....but they wont take anything older than a kareena or a katrina....

and @bolly007...*begs* plzz can u not bring kareena into every single topic even when its not required....even the slightest mention can turn this topic into a war zone...the disccussion is on rani...so plz focus on that...

and with rani's interview....well lets see how substantial her future roles turn out to be...but she made 2 contradictory statements (saying tht she was like a beggar, and then saying she wanted a burger)...rather confusing.

i can compare her with other actresses, if u guys feel offended i cannot do much, i shud have the liberty to state my opinion freely, she said that actors r like beggers as in that they cannot just say that 'i wanna do this movie' they have to wait for good and substantial roles or just go with the regular run of the mill and i agree with that!

@ smarie pants : 😊 I didn't quite understand what you meant but yes, both guys and girls want actors and actresses to fit the societal norms' anything outside it is not accepted.

About the beggar comment, I dont know what was contradictory because she basically said that she waits for meaty roles to come to her and does not have the power to go on a shopping spree for roles.

But then again, I didnt watch part 2 of the interview cos the sound isnt working on my computer so maybe she contradicted herself later on?😊

ok jee! whtever floats ur boat.

I just saw it but I bypassed the comments😆

I like how she was emphasizing that she needs comprehensive meaningful roles but if so, why did she stick to meager roles for the past few years? I believe she only recently realized her folly and deftly "bowed" out of the rat race to do more "meaningful cinema" as a way to re-market herself. I don't blame her, because this industry is based on appearance and Masand even said that she is one of the few who can ACT.

I wish she talked about other things too, it seemed as though she was emphasizing her reasons why she's at her position now the entire duration of the interview. I also think she did the same thing with her interview with him for Dil Bole Hadippa.

I don't care if she's not front page material anymore and is not a prime endorser for such and such. I just want to see her in films, preferably of the non-running around a tree type, because with her, I can at least see the true value of acting by an actress
