The curious case of Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan.
I remember Kismat Konnection and how Vidya was completley ripped apart for her weight and dress sense (won't lie, that film was a mega fashion disaster) and Shahid Kapoor was riding high after the success of Jab We Met and Vivah from the year before. She was dubbed the older looking heroine who couldn't do breezy love stories and was seen as a fail next to Shahid's 'chocolate boy charm'. Not to mention they dated during the film, and he proceeded to promptly dump her based on the EXACT same reasons she was criticized in the film for (weight, age, overall look) .
And now look 4 years later Vidya is a top heroine with critical acclaim and box office success in her pocket. Shahid on the other hand is the industries joke - Nobody will date him, barely anyone will sign him, and nobody is his friend. Poster boy of 'being dumped' and 'flop cinema'.
Vidya must be laughing it up, oh how things do change.
