I think we need to redefine what a leading lady in films should be. Not every Indian woman is hot or glamorous. Add to that women past a certain age are considered expired. Vidya Balan may not be a superstar, but roles like Tumhari Sulu give ordinary Indian women a relatable celebrity and lead lady.

Sandra Bullock's most critically acclaimed role was for playing a mom. Bridget Jones is beloved for being a chubby and frumpy British woman. Kathy Bates in the iconic Misery was a mentally deranged aunty. Frances McDormand in Fargo was a character that probably inspired Kahaani. Octavia Spencer who rocked The Help and Hidden Figures is no glamor doll.

We need more women playing aunties. We need more aunties becoming mainstream. Aunties need not be someone who is dated and expired. Aunties can be great roles too.

I love them both too.

They ain't going anywhere. One has a fit body and she will survive eventually, even if it comes at the cost of being more tactful with touchy filmi peers 😆. She's in for the long run.

The other will lose weight in some Austria wellness center and extend her career. Hubby has a lot of money.

Both have superior acting chops in spades - so will do well in their chosen cinema. How many active actresses are there who can hold a candle to these two?? 🤔

Glam dolls don't last long, eventually age catches up with them and have to prove their acting mettle, else the likes of Fatima, Jhanvi, Sara etc will replace them VERY SOON.

More than these two, I'm very curious to see how Kat's career unfolds henceforth. She's the classic example of my previous point.
