Even the worst looking man can transform in front of your eyes, due to his Personality & Charm. Case in point-SRK!!! ☺️
Even B Jr for that matter.

Looks can only take you so far.

Plus Bollywood being immensely male dominated, the men get away with everything. The women, don't.

If this was an actress. She would've been out of work a long time ago or if she was very good-excellent, she would've been a character actor.

What makes my blood boil about Bollywood is that, the men chase Success but the women need to reach Excellence, to obtain Success!!

I don't think looks and atributes go hand in hand. Ugly is not automatically called talentless. Even good looking ones are dismissed as models and mannequins with no expressions or talent. The cute looking ones are dismissed and aren't taken seriously. All kinds of looks have different stereotypes associated with them.

And stereotypes I agree are stupid, meaningless and shouldn't be there.

First of all looks...or what "good looks" and "bad looks" are, this changes according to time, in every era, there are new standards of "acceptable beauty". About your question, well someone can be criticized for their personality, or their actions, but ridiculing them because of their face, or how they look...is absolutely dumb, stupid, insensitive and a reflection of your own character. NO ONE is ever perfect... and celebs, they are almost like normal people, its just that loads of makeup and endless surgeries make them look polished. and about this face could be awarded to you or me... he doesn't fits into "standard beauty" charter and a LOT of people from "me and you" i.e. normal people do not fit into that, and labeling them ugly is crude and insensitive.

Buddy, you got it all wrong. 😆

People finding Ranveer good-looking or ugly doesn't have much to do with talent as much as it has to do with who he is supposedly dating at the moment or delivering hits with.

I've noticed this pattern on this forum time and again with nearly every actor and actress, but since we're focusing on Ranveer here...there are some members who dismiss him because he's with hanging out too much with their favorite's rival these days. That's also why he probably looks like a begger, is not classy, looks ugly, disgusting, rude, blah blah blah or like you said, a talentless hack. But let's say if he was to sign a movie with St. Katrina tomorrow...suddenly he would become the epitome of flawless acting, classy behavior, and good looks...why? No, not because of some magic potion...but because it all matters who he's currently associated with. I've seen this happening around here far too many times to simply brush it off as something else. Not everyone is like this, but then there are definitely some that just make stuff like this too obvious. 😆

It's also possible that he would become an annoying prick for some of the fans of the actress who he's being seen with these days. This is how shit works on I-F and if you want more comedy, then go on Twitter and you'll see it happening there too. That's why for me it's better to take those fans of Ranveer seriously who've had faith in him, his acting, and his career since the beginning...and it obvious to me who they are.

Too bad Ajay Devgn doesn't have these kinds of 'fans' on I-F.



Ah, so for some, beauty and good character is judged primarily on the basis of their association with their favourite celeb, and or should I say their association with the rival of their fav celeb as well. 😆

But as stated, I also find some people dismissing certain celebs as talentless simply because they find them ugly.

Ugly personality should be disparaged than physical attributes of a person.



Good point, but then again, some actors are loved by certain types of people inspite of their ugly personalities and transgressions of the law, simply cause they find them attractive,

I am making a petition to add Ranveer Singh's pic on the first page as well. If Ajay is ugly...that guy is maha ugly with a repulsive personality

Why is everyone talking about Ajay Devgan?, this thread is not about Ajay Devgan, the picture was just point in case, I am talking about it in general terms.

Recently, Ranveer has received a lot of ridicule for his looks, some people simply dismissed and rejected him purely on the basis of his looks, like if you don't look good, then nothing else matters.

We have psychological biases when we judge someone on the basis of their looks,, we tend to associate certain attributes with good looking people, like talent, intelligence, manners, good job,decency etc, while an ugly person could be judged as creepy, less likely to be talented, low-paid jobs etc.

So in the case of Ranveer, there seems to be a correlation between 2 views, that he's ugly and that he's talentless. Those who think he's ugly and dismiss him purely on those grounds, are also of the belief he's talentless. This is probably because they put a disproportionate amount of importance on looks over everything else.

umm not really! in fact when your not conventionally good looking people tend to focus on your talent more (even if you don't have any)
like ash is talented to some extent- acted well in some movies but her forte always remained her looks- her looks overshadowed the talent she has in some amount!
where as kajol's forte is her talent- not that she isn't talented but put a girl with a more conventionally pretty face in DDLJ and you will read many reviews praising her face for a paragraph then coming on performance!

Not so good looking actors can be the most talented actors sometimes. Example is def Ajay Devgan. He's a shotgun. Love him as an actor! Don't judge a person by his/her looks, but rather by his/her talent!
