Super joke.
Madhuri had the biggest number of flops with barely a handful of hits. Barring one or two films, she didn't have a single success where she can take full credit.
Yes, Madhuri used her assets to the best limit to titillate audiences, which is why she enjoyed fame with male masses, much like Katrina Kaif. Aishwarya couldn't come anywhere close in vulgar display/shaking of assets to garner attention.
Aishwarya wasn't desperate for hits otherwise she could have easily done way more out and out commercial movies than she has actually done.
Aishwarya one of the most popular actresses of all time... nobody talks about Kajol, Rani, Karishma today as much as Ash is talked about. Or even Madhuri despite her being there everywhere.
Ash has more flops than hits. And her few hits are due to Khans and Hrithik. Not herself. Ash never brought an opening on her own for any film.
Look at Rani who gave hit like Saathiya with Vivek and see how Ash's film like Kyun ho gya na flopped despite hype of her affair with Vivek.
Ash is talked about only online or in context as Bachchan bahu. Otherwise she is forgotten and not even seen in LoReal ads now. Even at this age Madhuri is more successful on TV than her and her Youtube channel gets millions of views too.
Vulgar? LOL! Ash never had it in her. She tried in Ishq Kamina type songs but failed. That 'clean' song is forgotten.
There is not a single Ash song that can be called sexy or hot. She also failed in remake of Umrao Jaan and could never come close to National award winning performance of Rekha in the original.
For that you need more expressions than just a doll. Songs require emoting. Ones known to shine only in still photography do not pass for emoting in films.
Madhuri gave top grossing films of the year like Dil, HAHK, DTPH etc unlike Ash. And gave hits with different generation of actors be it Anil, Sunny, Sanjay or Khans, Akshaye Khanna.
Ash never had a voice, command over language, dialogue delivery, acting or dance skill like Madhuri. Nor ability to draw audience to theatres with just one song.
Madhuri won greatest actress of the millennium awards while Ash only wins beauty awards,and will be known only for beauty, nothing else.
Rani is still getting films like Mardaani, NOKJ and critical acclaim. Karishma atleast has ads. Unlike Ash who has no ads either and is even out of Kalyan jewellers ad, LoReal, Longines ads now.
Even with top male stars Ash could not give an ATBB. She never had any star power beyond PR and online hype.
Ash's hits are far fewer than Madhuri. She was always all hype and no substance. In serious films too Madhuri's one Mrityudand beats Ash's entire career.
Madhuri has more credibility and popularity among masses than Ash which is why Govt also chose her to endorse campaigns for HIV/AIDS awareness, Beti bachao beti padhao unlike Ash who has no public service campaigns from GOI to her credit except one ad for polio drops in which she joined Amitabh who was main ambassador for the campaign.
Madhuri is in various ads even today whereas Ash is out of Lux, Prestige, Kalyan, Nakshatra and LoReal ads which she once did.
Ask anyone in real life who the bigger star is. Madhuri is the last female supertar and complete star-actress with ability to draw audience on her own. No one else matched that fame after her. Deal with it.
Even in her so called Southern films Ash was never a superstar like Sridevi was. If Sridevi fans talk of Madhuri in comparison to regional cinema success it still makes sense. But Ash fans quoting her ikka dukka South films to call her bigger star than Madhuri is a joke.
Madhuri is a cultural phenomenon and box office draw that Ash never was and never will be. Nor does Ash get any TV shows or ads the way MD does.
