Better actor in what way? PC is a really good actress but Kajol has been really good in the limited work she has done..I don see PC pulling off KKHH or K3G the way Kajol did..And no, its not just her chemistry with SRK..I just don think she can pull it off the way Kajol did..Similarly, Kajol can never pull off Fashion/ Barfi the way PC did..So the comparison is not as blasphemous as its made out to be..Ditto with the DP v PC comparison thread the other day..I mean i don even think Deepika is a brilliant actress but PC cannot pull off Naina/ Meenamma the way DP did..PC aces complex characters (and intense/ negative roles)..While Kajol is better off in simpler characters/ comic roles..That said, PC hands down has the more prolific filmography..I mean Kajol stopped working regularly so early and has never really been half as dedicated as PC..

Every body in the industry need to have looks to survive so both are beautiful ladies -

While Priyanka has been working non stop and working in a variety of roles, Kajol has chosen to work in limited number of movies so comparing the number of movies should not be the only scale they are compared to.

the question to ask is would Priyanka be able to walk back into a movie after 4 to 5 years and still give a great performance and have a successful run ????

like dilwale? 😆

It's hard because I find Kajol more natural of an actress than PC. However, PC is so dedicated to her craft as an actor and challenges herself with roles like Barfi. And like someone said above- it's hard to compare them because they both excel in two different things- Kajol being the more natural actor at playing simple roles and comedy roles while PC does best in challenging roles. Also I think PC has more diverse roles and has better filmography.

I don't know about better actor..but if you ask me who I prefer onscreen..I say Kajol mainly because she's more natural and I connect to her performances more. However, I have so much respect for PC as an actor and the hard work she puts into her work. She inspires me. I do dislike her offscreen personality though. Seems like she's gotten better lately..her annoying personality and being fake seem to vanish for now. I guess because she's gotten more mature.

Priyanka Chopra.
Kajol is also really good, people talking about her lack of versatility are acting as if she is an Arshad Warsi doing circuit roles in almost all movies.

Kajol has always played safe. With same kind of role under the same banner(yrf & dharma, banners which have excellent track record), so obviously her success rate will be more. Whereas PC has taken risky roles, pushed the bar, didn't stick to a safe banner.

Did you notice that her comeback films are under the same banner she used to work with and one was her husband's production? Out of the 5 films she did after her comeback 3 was dud.

OT: According to me Kajol can act better than Priyanka. Just look at the performance she gave in Gupt and Dushman. She has potential which she wasted. If she had pushed herself she would have pulled even Fashion or Barfi.

Priyanka is a good actress but I have seen her falter in some of her roles. Nonetheless she is commendable for taking risk and do something out of the box. This is where Priyanka scores.
