I have liked Sonam and Deepika's roles so simply arguing because of this comparison.
How big or different was Sonam's role? Is it difficult to cry or laugh at drop of hat? Is that outstanding acting? Anyone could have done that. Deepika's had to play two different roles. In one she played a poised 70s beauty and second half she was normal, bubble popping😉 fan. Is that very easy to play?
If our audience is so used to seeing goody-two-shoes then they wouldn't have appreciated Kajol in Gupt. So such arguments don't even stand a chance.
Crikey is this pick on punjabi chic day or something?
Deepika hardly did anything in OSO, all she did was dance (very well) and stand around, she didn't have many dialouges in the film itself. But however small the character was, she played it well.
Sonam's character was different, you may not agree with me but many others do. In my opinion she is a good actress and she has proved that with her first film......She made her character look so innocent in the begining of the film, but as it continues you realise that there is more to her i.e why she became friends with Raj, how she used him, how she fell in love with a stranger at just one glance
Kajols role in Gupt was negative but she was the villan in the film.....something that is not repeated all the time, just like sonam's.
