^^ I don't think people care enough about prachi to even hate her :p

@article .. It was utter crap! Such broad hints ..
Who gave her the right to out someone like that?

And couldn't she think of a tv show other than pan am (i didnt like it at all :p) kher, the comparison was pretty flimsy .. Unlike western tv, (where most actors are probably happy in there sphere and transition between tv and movies isnt uncommon) there seems to be a huge divide between the tv and film actors in Mumbai .. Tv actors seem to be in awe of btown ones inspite of being equally (and often more) popular .. Just look at the tv award red carpets ... It isn't about good looks or talent .. Just something missing in their off screen persona .. X factor.. Those who have it will make a successful transition (if they want to)




Edit: who else was thinking "bridesmaids" when de was going on and on and on about how tv actors all over the world are shortchanged lol? Then there is Richard armitage and Martin Freeman in The Hobbit..Colon Firth, Hugh Jackman .. And perhaps alot of other names lol ..

^bt unlike sonam n deepika, who r also Indian... Prachi doesnt have the same screen presence or sumthing unique that makes her stand outta the crowd.

All her movies r hit cz of the actors, n even in the chemistry dept. she has never lukd comfortable wid her co-stars, a slight awk can b seen... n plzzz Pee loon wasnt a hit cz of her, the credit goes to Pritam mostly... n also Emraan cz ppl look forward to listenin his songs... any oder actress in it, wuld still have made the song a hit

I'm not saying that Pee Loon was a hit because of her. Yes, another other actress could have done the role but she still got it! And who is she? Practically a nobody. But the point is she STILL got the role and was featured in a hit song. That's something.

What I'm saying is that she's very young and she looks even younger than she is. She comes from a non-filmi background so I don't think anyone expects her to become the top heroine. Given that, what she's achieved at her age is amazing. She's got lots of more time to act, dance and learn. And I think she's picking movies very carefully – the commercial ones particularly - and that's because she doesn't have that on screen presence or star power yet. Maybe she'll quit Bollywood prematurely with a failed career, but what I'm trying to say is that she's still got a long way to do and loads of people try to do movies from the tele industry and fail miserably. She's carving a small niche for herself, albeit slowly, but surely. If nothing else, she'll at least be in a few commercial films and that in itself is an accomplishment for any Indian television actor.

Prachi is not cut out for Bollywood...sooner or later she had to fall flat on her face...too bad it happened sooner than later...I don't know why these TV actors don't assess themselves before giving up everything they have for a C grade movie...Just because Shahrukh became the King of BW doesn't mean that everyone else would too...Shahrukh's charisma is unmatchable...

Yup, even Manoj Bhajpai was in Swabhiman. So Shobha De as always is wrong. I liked that SRK quote on her even though it came across as sort of sexist ...something about a critic in a fancy saree...how apt.😆😆


EDITED: Nevermind ER wasn't a soap opera, for some reason I keep mixing that up with General Hospital which is a soap opera. 😆
