I'm sorry neither was Sonam's debut "glossy". Her character was bipolar!!! Yes, Sakina was. You can't tell me otherwise. Sakina was anything but commericial. She didn't have a typical or colorful debut.....it was all BLUE!
D6's Bittu was the oposite of Sakina, all loud and crazy and not so confused. Simran was totally different from Sakina and Bittu and Aisha was well dfiferent from the other three. So I think she did challenge herself.
I don't know what other actress has played challenging roles anyways. Actresses in her "bracket" I mean. PC had her debut 8 years before. She doesn't count and neither does Vidya since I saw her in Hum Paanch when I was paanch. Many years ago.
I am talking about Katrina, Deepika, Anushka, Asin.....la la la! Anushka I admit did very well in BBB but her first two movies weren't amazing or had strong roles. I love Taani partner but her role wasn't challenging at all..... and Patiala House's Simran was like an extension of Shruti modernized.
Let's not even go to Deepika. We all know what I think of her. Her debut was amzing, she was amazing in the movie except she didn't even use her own voice. Half your performance is your voice modulation which she seriously sucks at. But is improving by each day. I have yet to see her challenging herself. As for Ashubhaiya's movie.......amazing movie, the BO even more amazing. It makes Saawariya look like an all time blockbuster!
Katrina, ok so I loved her in Namaste London, New York and Rajneeti but I dont' consider her a "serious" actor either nor are her roles challenging. I like her for other reasons, my baby cousin is a huge fan and when I see Kat, I think of my cousin. So ya, I can't bash her.
Asin....Ghajini was good but umm she has been an actor in the South for many years so I dont' think she even comes in Sonam's bracket.
I think you guys just like to take everything Sonam says (and I admit at times, she does say W*F things but not all the time), and make a huge issue. why not pick at other actors as well? Yes she's a star kid, yes her daddy is famous, but can we MOVE on from it? Seriously she has been in this industry for over 3 years now!!
