i was watching Shivaay the other night and i loved the movie. even though i didn't see the need to use a white actress. both the child and the actress who played her mom where so good in the movie. but the other actress who helped ajay in the movie was so bland and boring. she didn't act bad bt she boring to look at, bland. it made me think of how most of the south actresses are weak Asin, shruti, tamanna etc. they do all these flower pot roles and just don't do well. i think BW should stop casting them they dnt add anything to BW. i wish the older actresses would come back even with a few min the older actresses would create magic. or just allow the pakistani actors to come back they too talented

Lol how easy to just say they have nothing to offer. I'm sure they'll outshine BW actresses like shraddha any day if they are offered the right meaty roles!

Problem lies with script and bollwood nepotism .
I would love to see south east and north eastern Indian beauties in bw rather than Pakistanis.

Yes but most women acting in south regional films are themselves not south Indian.

South indian actresses are talented too but they're not getting good roles. They get flower pot roles where they have to only show their body and not talent.
Good roles nowadays are given to star kids or north indian actresses.

I feel south indian actresses should reject flower pot roles in bollywood instead of makers rejecting them.

They get enough money doing south indian movies so why are they wasting their time in doing flower pot roles that don't benefit them in any way.

Depends on individual's taste, personal preference I guess... I and many others I know find actresses imported from neighboring country although not bad, bland and boring

I find the post confusing... 'Some actresses from one part of the country are bland and boring, so bring actors from another country?' 'Bring back older actresses' Like who?

It's interesting to note that most of these "South Indian actresses" are actually not south Indian by origin. Most of them are north Indians, so in theory, it should be easier for them to transition from Telugu/Tamil industry to Hindi industry, but it has almost never been the case.

On the contrary, most of the biggest top actresses in Bollywood have actually been South Indians.

Rekha
Aishwarya Rai
Sridevi
Deepika Padukone
Hema Malini
Vyjayanthimala
Vidya Balan
Shilpa Shetty
Tabu
Waheeda Rehman
Jaya Prada
Meenakshi Seshadri
Amrita Rao
Zarina Wahab
Kalki Koechlin
etc etc

👏

Most actresses don't care being flower pots. Those who have dared to break this and gone ahead to do strong roles have been successful.

The other actress? She is Dilip Kumar-Saira Banu's grand niece. How's she a south Indian?
