Deepika Padukone is very Phoney - Page 4

I agree. She comes across as polite, scripted, you can predict her answers and she is very careful when she answers. But are we seeing the real Deepika ?

IMO, no. Rewind a few years ago to the infamous KWK where Sonam and Deepika were full of sass and very themselves until they were criticized and even their upbringing was trashed. So she became polite princess and phony. can you blame her, I don't.

On the flip side there is Kajol. Go back 20 years on Youtube and you will see brash, arrogant and don't care what she says. But she is branded rude and crass. Few people call her authentic or praise her for being herself for so many years.

Bebo also ran her mouth when she first came on the scene, Now people like her more because Saif has calmed her 🤔 as if she was a horse not a woman.

I have found more instances of Jaya Bachchan being polite than being rude. She has raised polite kids, Abhi loses his temper when the media pushes him. But somehow she has this reputation of being a shrew and ugly expression pictures always seem to make that she is constantly screaming.

Ash is polite and hides behind layers and is called plastic.

Kangana and Sonam are rude and run their mouth.

Notice a pattern here. All these are women. Where are the criticisms of men ? Is Varun authentic ? Is Sid ? Is Fawad ?

if you are a woman and authentic, show your feelings and outspoken you are rude, if you watch your answers you are called phony and plastic. What is the right balance ? How ridiculous. 🤔

You probably gave the best answer to the topic.

It's true every move of the actresses are analyzed and they are criticised no matter what

But it reflects the Indian society in general where a woman is held to much stricter social conduct rule and there is fault wirh everything she does but men are not really paid that much attention

Moi: No, not at all. Though I love your point but the examples given IMO, don't mesh well. Kajol is an obnoxious arrogant brat not because of how she talks, but because of how she behaves. Kangana, gleefully plays the feminist card & happily withdraws it as & when she feels like it. She's a psychotic asshole. Personally, there is little difference inter social values/protocol I hold men & women too since I say it as much for the men as the women but your point, definitely is very, very true. Women are considered "lady-like", "gentle", "polite" so many times my own parents have told me not to shout & scream because it's "not lady-like", others have too & hat definitely has coloured my conduct & around certain people, I feel like I've to walk around egg-shells. I reckon so many women, do not reveal their real natures around family in fear of behavioural & other ridicule. I've noticed with so many women & have been annoyed by them & their behaviour, but also understood it. It's very hurtful & very restrictive if you cannot be yourself with your closest.



But here the question is about an actress, who thrice on a constructed image. The reason why DP received such censure for her KwK IV was because she was always the polite princess. It was the shedding of that mask that people had an issue with, not the appearance of it since it wasn't the first. BW is anyway, the concentrated field of sexism & misogyny because I don't see anyone calling out RK or Salman's upbringing when they're both assholes of a different nature though Salman is Ofc, incomparable to ANYONE. So I wouldn't bother looking for equality esp gender equality, in an industry like BW.

DP has carefully crafted her good image and carelessly destroyed other people's image 😆
