Do celebs overdo traits that make em famous? - Page 2

atominis, your perception isn't wrong as it is yours. And I bet other people have the same or similar impression.

The difference lies in the importance one gives to it.

For you, it seems to be an issue, for me, it is not.

I suppose that something one does over and over again because of the profession can easily become compulsive...quasi a habit...maybe a bad one (even in the eyes of the person who does it)...

I think, it's the own choice (yours or of any other spectator) if the respective habit/behaviour is perceived as annoying or not. 😊

They say fake it til you make it, and use it till you abuse it! I think most celebs keep pumping out their schtick until the cow runs dry.

It's definitely annoying though because it feels like "okay, this is all you can do?" kind of thing. I love SRK but I feel the "he can romance a tree" trope got annoying because that is definitely not true or that he is so witty, when sometimes his comments and antics are weird. Ranveer being so annoying and outlandish being "he's quirky and himself" or Katrina being the best dancer, yet in reality she is overrated and lacks grace (moves like a robot and has not real rhythm. I think angles make her look good) her live performances expose her. Or Rekha using Amitabh as if that's her whole personality. Have some respect, he is literally married. No one thinks of Jaya (I know she is a moody woman but still).

Even in they’re acting.

In the later stages of their careers these people care less

About performing great and more about impressing people

I sometimes think some celebs tend to overdo things they find, people like about them.

For eg, Madhuri smiles way too much and often keeps dancing everywhere or posts dance wali Insta reels, her app was also an online dance school and all her old videos, award performances are full of her smiling, laughing all time, even if not required.

I guess she has taken the compliments on dance and smile too seriously.

Rekha is another one who seems to have taken ageless compliment too literally and still dresses like Umrao Jaan in real life. Hema also seems to have taken dream girl or timeless beauty tag seriously and keeps showing off hwr eyes, beauty to camera at even parliament and election rallies.

There's Dharam who seems to have taken handsome tag seriously and still sports jet black dyed hair and smiles at cameras and poses like it is still early 1970s.

Aamir seems to have taken Mr perfectionist or thinking man's star tag too seriously and tries to project pseudo intellectual image in all interviews, hardly loosens up, starts getting technical on filmmaking aspects or speaks on some issue.

Amitabh seems to speak in stylised tone a lot more, and often goes a bit high pitched ever since he's learnt people love his booming baritone. He has a style and accent of speaking even in interviews or live shows.

SRK begins to crack wisecracks, jokes anywhere (which at times backfires or causes controversies) ever since he has been praised for his sense of humour and wit.

Kangana has taken her 'self made outspoken woman, deshbhakt' thing to another level as well and always acts as if she is on mission to expose industry.

Preity and Kajol seem to have taken their bubbly tag too seriously and still behave that cute/outspoken, bubbly way.

While celebs have their own speciality or image that makes them stand out, I feel some of them, after a point of time, simply begin to overdo it, which makes it look artificial and less organic.

Do you also feel weary or get sense of 'overdoing' when stars behave a certain way even till old age?

Hema poses in a distinct filmi way as she posed in Dream girl song. It is not lame. She also repeats her Basanti act in rallies to ask for votes. Dharam literally used Sholay dialogues at her rally as well to ask for votes for her.

I know what I am talking of. So shut it

So well said. Rekha especially has ruined her image and reduced herself to some unrequited lover of Amitabh. SRK was normal till 2001. IDK what happened to him later and he keeps repeating king of romance act even if not needed.

Well noticed. Malaika and Shilpa are kind of obsessed with showing how fit and flat, slim, trim they look even at this age despite being moms. Shilpa particularly loves to keep showing off her washboard abs.

Then there are Shabana, Shefali and Vidya, Nandita who are busy showing off their intelligent, progressive woman image or cause champion image. Or some thinking woman star type image.

Pankaj Tripathi seems hell bent on showing his aam aadmi, rooted in small town ethos, humble man image.

Ash is all about beauty and poses as if she is still on Miss World stage.

Javed is obsessed with showing off his intellect and acts as some polymath, expert on all issues.

Sushmita is forever showing off her bindaas woman, with big heart who lives on own terms. Sometimes I find her shayari a bit too much.

There's Akki who is always trying to sound funny or like a middle class man at heart.

Twinkle tries too hard to sound witty.

Ajay is always trying to give off that intense cum laid back vibe or look like he is disinterested in interviews.

Sanjay of late, seems to behave as if he is real life Munnabhai or some martyr who went to jail.

Kareena and Sonam always sound like high society snobs.

Alia is probably still cashing her child woman image.

Karan is also always sounding like a high society snob all the time.

imagine this as a parody movie, it will be killer, will bring back audience, golden days of bw will be back 😆

with age one changes, it is natural

but with actors they reach a certain peak of appreciation by 25-40 age generally

but then they hang on to it and become parodies of themselves

I feel Sridevi used to repeat her Sadma act in her movies, in certain scenes like when crying or being scared
