Wow you and I agree on Aish. I always got the impression that her guardedness and "fakeness" is a defence in response to the reaction she got because of her looks. People would either "love" her or "hate" her based upon nothing more than their perceptions about what she must be based upon a fluke of physical configuration and I can't imagine how one would have to deal with pushy men when one had those looks. Every day must have required constantly guarding her eyes & expression so guys wouldn't try to leap on an opportunity they THOUGHT/HOPED was there just because she happened to look up at the same time they did or to smile at something...GAH!
Of course she'd be blind not to realize that her looks were her most marketable asset but the knee-jerk nasty reactions or attempts to "cut her down to size" in spite of the fact that she was only being what God made her would make anyone paranoid to put a foot wrong.
The stories I've heard about her all point to a woman who desperately longs to be nice, and open and authentic but doesn't feel safe enough to dare.
Anyway, it's weird, my son---who is a kid and therefore has little to do with adult fakeness saw her in movies and thought she seemed like an impish, funloving sort who has been raised in an older school of public feminine artificiality in the interest of appearing "respectable"
Still Aish doesn't strike me as a true narcissist. I'd have to give that vote to Sonam---clueless enough to honestly think that HER tiny little world is THE world and that her learned opinions are therefore unerringly right.
Of course Shabana Azmi, a woman who claims to be clued in and culturally aware yet has a "Slum Cake" to celebrate her 60th year of gained earthly experience (in-effing-credible!) has to win narcissist kudos too, though the thought of a bunch of entitled rich people eating a cake in the shape of a place of misery and hopelessness beyond imagining makes it hard for me to call her a "favorite" narcissist.
