Not true at all. He does do ads. Just last year Aamir was thrown out as Snapdeal ambassador because of his "wanting to leave India" comments when people started deleting the app.

His movies do well but people don't have much personal connect with Aamir so he doesn't get a lot of ads.

[quote]Didn't she just command the highest among male and females for a award performance? Lol, without a film release in 2+ years? [/quote]

Come on, that was a very obvious PR planted article. A good way to make a splash back in India to show how awesome and wanted and in demand she is. She didn't even do the last performance which is supposed to be the big one. Ranveer did.

Also, I don't think going to HW makes much of a diff to Indians. It is a matter of pride when it happens for sure, but afterwards, they stop caring. I know so many people who are proud of PC going to HW and are now her "fans", but that is only related to her crossing boundaries, but they do not watch her HW stuff.

I personally grew up in America and I much rather prefer PC in BW


@Bold... See I'm the opposite. I rather see her explore HW. Do more projects, better projects. She's already done like 45 bollywood movies. She's done barely anything yet in HW. Even if she does 1 BW movie a year or 1 BW movie every 2 years I'm fine.

To each their own. I am happy for her in HW and I do watch her stuff and am looking forward to her movies that are coming out here too, but I miss her in BW also. She hasn't done a BW movie in ages and def wish she focused a little more on that too.

Quantico is horrible now, season1 was great but now its just dragging so I wish she would drop that or it would get cancelled and she had time to do new stuff since shows take up so much time

This is exactly it. People think it's nice if someone does something overseas and then they forget and move on. I don't even know any Indians in America that watch her HW work. All the desis in the US I knew were excited at the idea of Quantico and saw 2-3 episodes and gave up because it was so horrible. They're much more likely to watch her if she did BW stuff.

All the red carpet pics and parties and all that keeps you in news but it's not real stardom.

Priyanka's performance was the longest performance, 12 minutes and choreographed by Ganesh while the rest were Shaimak. Acts aren't always shot in the order they're shown on TV. Jackie's performance is pre-recorded. So who's the last act we really don't know. Rajeev Masand did confirm Priyanka was paid the most to perform at Zee Cine though.

Well her focus isn't just desis/Indians, if it was she would have stayed in India.

Are you PC herself, because you seems to always know what she is thinking.

Anyways, even if her focus isnt desis/Indians, it doesn't change the fact that 90% of her fanbase is Indian, whether they be located in India, America, Canada or wherever. No media outlet will follow her as closely as BW does. Practically, it would make sense to cater to them. Not saying she should, but people watch her BW stuff more than her HW stuff.

I'm just giving my opinion. I think Priyanka's working globally to expand her global audience. Broaden her horizons etc etc.

To be honest, I think it was a good move to go do a tv show in the US for her. She was already being relegated to supporting roles like in Bajirao or B-grade movies like Gangajal or whatever it was. Actresses have a hard time after a certain age anyway.

The HW hype worked to keep her relevant and different from the rest of the BW actresses. Same way it helped Ash a lot when she needed that boost in India. People don't even watch those movies but it helps a lot with PR and putting it into people's heads that they're way better than the rest because they're HW approved. 😆

But even so, most of her income still comes from India and if Quantico gets cancelled, then almost all her income will be from India. Losing popularity there can't possibly be good.
