^agreed!

I don't really know if this counts but.. Lara Dutta?

Not that she's known for her 'acting' kinda worked, but she's known for her good looks and model-like physique, which IS after all her work (post- Ms. Universe stuff?)

Well, isnt picking bold roles a part of her career? I mean she's an actress right? Yup, I agree, you need to be in the spotlight for some reason or the other to survive in billywood but compared to the other actors and actresses, i.e, relatively speaking, Vidya, Konkona, Ajay (perhaps even Kangana) fare much better in terms of letting their acting speak, rather than their link ups, break ups etc etc.

Lara Dutta got good reviews in Chalo Dilli recently! Most of her career has just been looking good! 😕 But, she is not in the news that much which is somewhat of an advantage for her!

^yup, thats what I meant... i mean, its not her 'acting' but that counts as the work that speaks of her, but technically, what WAS her job anyway, after winning the. Ms. Universe title? It was to look good and have a generally easy-on-the-eyes image... she didn't really have controversies and stuff, a la Sushmita Sen. All she really did is go around, sponsor stuff, look good, act in movies, vagera vagera

i agree they are better than all the other actors who are in the news 24/7

It is also the fact that Lara Dutta doesn't market herself aggressively. I don't think she was ever ambitious enough to go after the big banner films like her contemporaries did, i.e. Kareena, Priyanka, etc. She was never in the numbers game either! And I don't think she will last much longer. She has Don 2 coming up, but no other films have been announced!! 😲

The first person that came to my mind was Aamir Khan. He speaks out about political issues and national issues but as a citizen that is his right. In terms of Bollywood "issues", I don't hear that much gossip about him.




He is no better than the others ... In fact he is a lot worse ... he tries to couch everything he does in "intelligent actor" image ...

the dog named srk ? i am number 1, srk is no.2 ? the sudden mutual admiration club with salman ? stealing other people's work like TZP ? Randomly speaking on political issues when the closely coincide with his film's release but never ever doing anything concrete ? The whole publicity stunt about how much he was helping the "3 idiots" school after the cloud burst when in truth, all the work was done by Hindustan Construction Company employed by the drupka trust that runs the school



Honestly, i think they are all the same ... no one works really speaks for them ... some of the them position themselves as bollywood kings others pretend they are above all this and into serious cinema ... Its a dirty industry and sooner or later they all get into the game. The money is way too much for them to show dignity

Ajay Devgan- he is the first guy that came to my mind.

Emran Hashmi- so underrated unfortunately. Amazing actor. and never in the news or anything...

Konkona

No one is a snow driven angel in Bollywood and each and every one of them have had their share of publicity beyond their work. It comes down to who relies the least on their gimmicks and most on their work. That would be Kangana, Vidya Balan (somewhat), ...and i think the list pretty much ends there.😆 But I guess that's a good thing. Bollywood wouldn't be half as appealing if it were just for their work.
