You honestly lost me there mate 😕
Mate , what I wished to state was succesful people should not look down upon others and oxford guys are not idiots to call her . We have seen earlier shahrukh khan , lalu prasad being called to universities as well. Since you are an alumni from oxford yourself , you probably understand this as well and finally I wished that may you too someday get a chance to speak at oxford 😛
[/QUOTE] Nah mate I'm good, lecturing a bunch of third year hungover medical students isn't my thing.
Lalu Prasad was a successful railway minister. SRK again I may not like him personally but he has achieved quite a bit, he's a good public speaker and a Businessman. He has a successful career and doesnt he rank in the Forbes highest paid actors or something?
Katrina, I dont see her merits, theres a lot of media hype but I dont think she's achieved anything to warrant a speech at Oxford. Had it been someone like Priyanka Chopra or Rahul Bose or Nandita Das, then that would've been a different story
All about perception isn't it ? Katrina kaif became succesful in a country which is not even her motherland , I would say this is unnecessary hoopla surrounding her speech . I might not consider robin wright who is giving speech herself worthy . katrina kaif spoke eloquently at a recent UN related event. She was articulate there .
Well if thats the case then, Jacqueline, Nargis, Sunny Leone they've all moved from their mother country and managed to establish themselves successfully'. All of them should be standing up there in the debating chamber.
She's being called there in the capacity of an actress and she's nowhere near successful as an actress. Theres no denying Katrina is famous and she's a successful celebrity but thats not because of her acting skills, shes no good at the main part of her job i.e. acting.
And in my perception, Robin Wright, acts and directs and she's actually good or successful' in that field. Plus far as I'm aware, she does a lot charitable work in Congo.

@. Bold. - there is no need to name call students of a university just because you are not happy with the university inviting a celebrity to speak. YOU may hv been a third year hungover medical student, I'm sure there are students in Oxford who actually study and have some kind of self respect and don't get ants in their pants over someone else being called as guest speaker in a prestigious university.
Katrina is being invited as being successful beyond ordinary in her field which is ENTERTAINMENT of which acting is a part. Otherwise they can call Irrfan Khan or Nawazuddin Shah.
I'm sure the Sri Lankans honour Jaqueline too in a similar manner considering she too made a success out of herself in a foreign country although. It to the extent Katrina has done.
Let's not talk about Sunny and Nargis. Their success cannot be compared to Katrina.
