Free ka advice

Free ka advice

While actors spend hours pondering about their next move to maintain their position in Bollywood,

we give them some noteworthy advice, free of cost

Harshada Rege

Giving advice is a way of life for us. We have an opinion on what everyone should be doing and we don't hesitate to tell them what they are doing wrong and what they should do... the right way. Well, we are no different from the rest. We believe that we should be sharing our thoughts on some actors and basically showing them the mirror. While actors spend hours peering into one, they don't seem to be seeing the picture clearly. That's where we come in.

Bipasha Basu

You must: Cut the horror short

Bipasha has earned herself the title of Horror Queen with films like Raaz 3, Aatma, Creature 3D, and Alone. Early in her career, she starred in Raaz and Aatma. And though she has the title Horror Queen, barring Raaz, none of the flicks have worked at the box-office. That sure is an indicator that the flicks are proving to be a nightmare only for the distributors.

Hrithik Roshan

You must: Spread love, lekin limit mein!

Hrithik Roshan looks like Jesus Christ Superstar. The trouble is, he has started talking like him, too. Most industrywallas are talking about how he needs to dial down on all the talk about spreading love, the miracle called happiness and vibes. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar must feel threatened about losing his disciples to Duggu.

Anupam Kher

You must: Do less movies

In 2014, Kher was seen in 12 movies. He has some seven releases in a row in the first two months of the year. We are not saying Mr Kher, that you are coming out of our ears. Wait, we are saying that. Worse, you look like you are sleepwalking through the roles. While it's great that the actor can clock so many movies every year, it would be much more appealing to see him show his acting chops in meatier roles than in movies like Super Nani.

Farhan Akhtar

You must: Stop singing

You are a brilliant actor, and director. You have great instincts as a producer. Farhan, you can do anything, but you are not a singer. The only raspy voice we want to hear is Bryan Adams.

Amitabh Bachchan

You must: Be seen in less ads

From jewellery brands to noodles to cement to even hair oil, Big B has been the face of many products. It would be good to see him in fewer commercials. Shamitabh had even more ads of products that the movie had tied up with, with Bachchan Sr in them. Quality only please. Quantity means the brands gain value, not you!

Karan Johar

You must: Everybody dance now, but you stop!

Yes, we get that KJo is a delight on the floor, but he's the judge. The channel, the contestants and the host forget that, too. They love to see him groove and it takes little to get KJo to shake a leg. He could rest those dancing shoes for a bit. We suggest he exercise his dance skills only at private parties.

Jacqueline Fernandez

You must: Cut down all that instagramming

Fans love it when their favourite actor posts pictures on their Instagram account, but the rate at which Jacqueline keeps updating her account is boredom-inducing. Considering she is part of A-list movies and is working opposite many superstars like Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, it's time she cuts down on her Insta appearances. Keep it mysterious, girl!

Sharman Joshi

You must: Get over the solo hero obsession

Yes, we get it that you are immensely talented, but we would rather see you in a meaty role in a movie like 3 Idiots instead of playing saviour by getting your grandmother to turn into a model! It's time you stop dreaming of making it big as a solo hero' and instead pick up good roles. Maybe call Rohit Shetty for the next Golmaal film?

Prabhudheva

You must: Reinvent yourself

Accept that South films are not working anymore. Stop churning out films like a factory. Stop, reconsider and then shoot. The audience is supremely bored of the rehashes you've been doling out. The B-O performances of the movies are a good yardstick to go by. R... Rajkumar and Action Jackson should tell you something is wrong. All your films, the action scenes and the dances are the same. Time to do something original and new now.

Madhuri Dixit-Nene

You must: Repeat after me: I'm not a Christmas tree!

This gorgeous diva is often too styled. Too much make-up, hair too in-your-face, jewellery... it's all too much! We often wonder if her stylist raids a teenager's wardrobe every time she has to step out. The saris are great, but the dresses aren't flattering at all. Stick to what suits you.

Ameesha Patel

You must: Tell us when your film will release

We have heard enough about how many offers you get and everything about the films that you are producing and the top actors you have approached. Now just tell us the release date. Till then, go into hibernation.

Sonakshi Sinha:

You must: Look different on screen

Be it R... Rajkumar, Bullett Raja or Tevar, Sonakshi goes from one shot to another with absolute ease. Not because she gets under the skin of her character quickly, but because she carries the same wardrobe from one movie to another. She's always playing damsel-in-distress with a slight change in her wardrobe. She recently got a makeover off screen, now we hope she follows it up on the big screen too. Do a film which requires you to play a dramatically different role.

John Abraham

You must: Stop hiding the wife

While nobody expects John and Priya Runchal to be joined at the hip, the two have hardly ever made any appearances together. Mrs John Abraham continues to be a mystery in the industry.

Also you must: Practise what you preach

The actor has been constantly saying how he wants to act only in movies that are hatke ironically his next two releases are Welcome Back and Hera Pheri 3. Going by the prequels, these two movies are absolute masala movies. Wonder what happened to all those sport-based movies that the actor had been planning?
