I think the problem with Madhuri are her fans. They think she is the best at everything: shes the best dancer, best smile, best actress, best human being, best EVERYTHING. I think that is what has brought her brand value down, the fact that some people think she is a goddess. I really don't even dislike Madhuri, I think she was great during her own time and ofcourse an icon to some people...But people here have just taken it too far.
There are so many actresses that are better looking than her, so many that are better actresses, and so many who have a better box office record than her.Her moment has passed and her fans need to accept it and move on. This is the cycle of Bollywood, a lot of people will go and come, and I know lots of people have childhood attachments to Madhuri, but that doesn't mean you can discount others. Let it go.
Her fans have overhyped her so much to the point that a lot of people really cant stand her. That reality show she does has made it worse, and I love how her fans are turning a blind eye to the fact that she probably ASKED For that kind of treatment.If she didn't "want" to get up every 5 mins to dance or a praise thrown at her every 2 min SHE CAN ASK THEM TO STOP. She clearly wants the attention and needs it to elevate her ego. I hate when she makes that face "who me? get up and dance? oh no no no." and then gets up and dances. Its so TACKY and classless.
Also, lets not compare Madhuri to Amitabh or even Sridevi. Amitabh emerged from a dark phase in his life and gave some of the most strongest performances a leading actor has EVER given in the history of Bollywood...He is a REAL legend. Not a pretentious one.
And Sridevi is a in a league of her own...She doesn't attend every event or use public tax money to dance at some shows. She doesnt judge on a reality show where she gets praised every second...She doesn't use those cheap type of gimmicks. She didn't come on screen for 15 years, and when she did, the movie was critically acclaimed and a huge success. No gimmicks, no sucking up or inflation of the ego...Just good cinema and quality work...THAT is what you call a star, not someone who is desperate for attention.
@blue: That is what most fans do, they think their fav is the best. I have seen many ppl gush the same way for Aish/Dp/kat/Sridevi/PC and for many more.. And why are you targeting all her fans ?? Im a Madhuri fan and i know many other's who are her fans , havent seen myself or them go on saying about she is best in everything. We rather have even said that she is overexposed and the worshiping in JDJ is rather annoying.. Dont speak for all the fans.
@green: Comparing on looks is subjective. I see nothing great in Ash, find her beauty to be over rated( Taking Ash's case here coz i know you like her and gush about her, not trying to get personal , just drawing a difference ) , but there are many who find Ash beautiful , just because i dont find Ash to be that beautiful doesnt mean she isnt beautiful, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Same holds good for acting, there are a few who find her to be a good actor same like there are few who find Ash, Dp, Alia and few others to be good actors.
@red: Who said we are stuck?? Just because an actress time has passed we are not supposed to talk about her or does she become irrelevant??
Its like if an young actor says my role model in AB Sr, then we have to say him his time has passed move on and choose one from present generation who is all about BO pull..
@blue: Again stop targeting at all fans. May be you missed observing it, but more than her fans the industry people love her and gush about her.. yeah yeah they all need to MOVE ON but seems like they have a different opinion as compared to you..
@pink: It is absolutely OK if girls go berserk when they see these Khans, Roshan, Kapoors and go gaga over them, fall for them , do crazy stuff for them, and these male actors bask that glory , enjoy it and expect for more.. But if a female gets it, arey she is classless..
Which actor does not like appreciation from fans ?? They are actors, they all work their ass off and crave for it.. Its the fans/audience that can actually make or break them..
If a singer goes to any show, they ask him to sing.. If a comedian like kapil goes somewhere they ask him to do comedy( as said by him), if they see a choreographer fans asks them to dance(as said by Remo and terrence themselves), many people see madhuri to be iconic specially for her bollywood dancing and ask her to dance , how is it different from others doing it and madhuri doing it. It makes all the others professionals with class and madhuri the classless one. Nice😆
@green: You definition of a STAR is rather laughable.. 😆
You accept it or not, Madhuri is a STAR.. may be other's definition of a STAR is different from you and im happy that it is..
Who isnt pretentious in this industry. And plz, everyone works their butt off to be where they are, could be anyone.Even star kids they might get the initial push, but to make it big they need their own talent and charm.
Sridevi and Amitabh are class actors no denial there and this topic isnt even trying to put them down in anyway..
A women of madhuri's age working , earning and making her own money using her talent is a NO NO.. buhooo.
Not trying to get personal, but im surprised reading this from you.
