Is Ash all that she is made out to be?

Okay so i have always been curious about this so i thought i'd rather make a topic to know if am the only one who feels this way 😆 Don get me wrong..I think Ash is breathtakingly gorgeous and is probably one of the most popular Indian celebs but is she that brilliant an actress as she is made out to be? 😕 I have always found her to be a very mediocre actress..And her filmography is underwhelming to say the least..She wasn't exactly the Katrina Kaif of her time either( BO pull i mean)..I found her brilliant in a couple of films( one of them is JA where i thought she owned the role) but thats where it ends..I believe she comes across as artificial onscreen and there are scenes where her performance has legit made me cringe 😆 I have seen most of her South films too and her performance wasn't exactly path breaking in any of them..So why the hype? Why is she hailed as this outstanding actress? Especially when i distinctly remember how she was mocked for her acting skills when she was still active in Bollywood..I remember the kinda reviews she received for Umrao Jaan- almost every critic ripped her apart..Now what? Do we operate on nostalgia? 😆 Or am the only one who thinks Ash is a very mediocre actress? 😆

P.S. Before someone accuses me of jealousy, let me clarify that no, am not jealous of ARB..I have no reason to be cos i don aspire to be an actress 😆 Oh and anyone who thinks am sick in the head or delusional to even think that Ash is a bad actress, all i can say is thanks for the concern..I'l visit my family doctor in the evening:) 😆

Craving for a hate mail eh, rogy? 😆

Yup totally 😃 So excited 😆

She is a really good actress, it's just that her beauty overshadows her acting. Watch HDDCS, Taal, Devdas, Raincoat, Jodha Akbar, provoked, choker Bali. She was fabulous in all of them.

Ashutosh Gowarikar, SLB and Mani Ratnam can make her act! Bas.

Probably she's the only actress after madhuri dixit who was a complete package. She could act, dance, and was beautiful. Yes she's not as natural actress as Kajol or Madhuri are but still shes a great actress.

I am not fan of her actually her offscreen attitude puts me off at times but can't deny the fact that she was a complete package. Would love to see her back with a bang because I feel she is still better than most of the current actresses of today

But good topic

Honestly i don buy this 'beauty overshadows talent' excuse..Its true that it happens but its unfair how this excuse pops up every time a gorgeous actor/ actress is criticized for his/ her acting skills 😆 And yeah, she was really good in JA & HDDCS..She made me cringe in Bride & Prejudice though..Horrible horrible film..Jane Austin must have turned in her grave seeing the kachra they made out of such an epic story 😆 I dunno man..I have never really been impressed with Ash as an actor apart from a couple of films..But i respect your opinion:)

You jealous haters stay busy discussing her, while Ash is having her millionth hyena laugh rolling on Rs. 30 crore she earned from Prestige.

Average actress. Don't think she is rated as highly as Rani, PC and Kareena as a performer anyway.
