Do you think grooming matters? Otherwise people like Abhishek, Saif and Soha would have ruled BW. TBH SRK wasnt as well groomed when he started off. Same goes for Salman and other stars. They learnt on the job. I think its a matter of what opputunities they get and how they are presented onscreen. Not everyone is fortunate to get a break with UTV or YRF or Dharma whose bosses are great in in the marketing game.
Actually I rarely watch the behind the scenes shows like SBS so dont have clue what is shown. But yes classy and hatke guys from TV whom I generally like dont get into the rat race. They are not really aggressive in promoting themselves and do work they like to do instead of calculating at every step and promoting themselves desperately or asking people for work. Mostly such people turn out to be losers as these days mainly marketing and hype works rather than good work.
I think grooming matters for the initial impression. it always mattered as a initial picture. I read read jeetendra's interview, it mattered even in the 70s
by grooming I did not mean intellectual air( real or fake), or dressing up in designer garbs ala sonam. these tv stars can also afford small and medium and occassionally even big designers.
I meant a overall presentation. maybe I should have used charishma.
SRK had charm, what r u saying shreya. He was never that downmarket. The way he spoke even in the initial days( I am not much of a fan but my mother said he spoke really differently than the ones around) was way better than the way these guys speak
Offcourse LUCK is the biggest deciding factor. and not everyone will geta VD or a KPC, but I think there is an initial grooming which sets people aside.
look at PD. the way she dressed and acted during tv days, during rock on , during OUAT and now. Yes she learnt on the job and gradually changed but also she groomed herself. she spoke differently.
i cannot pinpoint which word I want to use here exactly. but look at the new lot. SID M and aaliya, or for that matter aditi rao hyaderi, huma. the way they carried themselves right from the beginning is so much different.
@ Bold: word. I mean I would love to see a kavi shashtri, a siddhant karnik on screen. they have the charisma or the talent or both. but you see SSRs and AKs onscreen only.
on SSR: he is a decent actor and a very good dancer. but someone he does not impress me. Its like I don't really miss him when he is gone from screen. And he speaks in a weird way. But I am glad he made it. he used to be bashed a lot during that prem-heer show on tv by that tere liye guy's fans and even that guy played politics with him. He can happily say IYFB now.
