The same thing happened to Ranbir, remember when it was claimed how he will dethrone SRK , Hrithik, Aamir and Salman and become a legendary Pichkari. Besharam clearly brought back reality 😆
This same cycle has happened with so many actresses, Rani, Preity, Vidya...and it will happen to Deepika too...She's no Madhuri or Aishwarya or Kareena that she can survive in the industry despite having flops, that's something very few actresses have, and Deepika Devi is not one of them.
Remember when Rani was considered a legend? What happened to that? Now she's eating pakoda's and drinking lassi's off of Yash Chopra's retirement funds.
Well I still think it's a tad bit early to knock her off just b/c she can do commercial cinema, masala flicks, and "artsy" roles. Let's see what happens b/c I'll seen improvement and growth in her as an actress. I slightly disagree with the over-hyped comment since she displayed versatility this year. Race 2, YJHD, CE, and RL all different roles and genres and she conquered it.
As for the "bandwagon" comment, some of us were discussing this in a Ranveer thread, but a lot of people can be legit fans. I mean Aish's fan base grrew with Hum Dil and Devdas being hits. Deepika had 4 massive hits this year so of course it's logical that her fan base would grow too. Not all her just riding on this (some yes) but others like me really started liking her after CE or after this year.
I don't claim her to be the next Madhuri or Aish or Kareena for that matter, but she finally got her momentum and I say give her shot. Of course, with Rani and PZ we can say this now b/c of hindsight bias. But with Deepika it's too early. People are writing Anu off and she 2 biggies next year, Vidya, PC, Katrina, Kareena, and Deepika all have BIG projects coming up so it could go either way for all of them.
