Yeah i am legit fangirl for couple of these writers who have got their books and stuff published, random search got me to them.

whatta stat : How do you even know that? My fav authors are South Asia based though. let me know if you want their link or stuff.

@Hadey _ I absolutely Love Supriya Pathak, thankfully she is getting the recognition now. Hansa and now Ram leela, have loved her always. Her sister is the underrated one though. Ratna doesn't act much, plays maybe but she is soo low-key.

I guess coz these actors were more active on the tv serial earlier and did enjoy a degree of popularity but now with tv quality deteriorating they are not popular. Plus both of them are married to underrated brilliant and subdued actors.

We had Sri doing EV thats the closest you can ask for a bolly movie doing it right for a 50+ actress.

I don't think HW theater personalities go as unnoticed. Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenowitz are legends. Some like Julie Andrews were theater stars before becoming big in movies. Theater, especially Broadway is a big deal and most actors will try to get a stint in theater.

I think Ekta made television profitable and important, but not respected. Dekh Bhai Dekh, Malgudi Days, Circus, Fauji those were the days. Even Swabhimaan as a soap was good. Hum Paanch was also good. But then Kekta maiyya became sabun ki factory jo dimaag ko safed dho de.

KMG was good, but I didn't get the big deal. Didn't have the charm of ET. For Desi sci-fi, Mr. India is the best.

Need to see Rockstar.

@Zephy - There is a wide autism spectrum. Her character was at the extreme end of the autism spectrum. Autistic people will make exaggerated faces when they disapprove something. Autistic people are sharp in learning information, but when it comes to social cues and social interactions they are slow and don't get it. They often take things literally and dont get sarcasm, irony and certain forms of humor. She was quite authentic. IMO Priyanka should have won for Barfi. She did a commendable job.

Btw speaking of acting and family. Amidst the Khans and Kapoors, I think the Pathak clan is highly underrated. I saw Ram-Leela and was completely blown away by Supriya Pathak. Her sister Ratna is a great actress with the most supreme comic timing. Even mom Dina Pathak was supremely versatile. I remember her playing the strict matriarch in Khoobsurat and the hilarious socialite in Golmaal. Kind of sad that they don't have as much as a rave fan following as others. Ratna should have had hit funny movies like Sandra Bullock and Tina Fey. Supriya should be like a Meryl Streep with her ability to be any character.

Edit: Ratna and Nasserudin have been married since 1982. Thats long in B-Town. 😲
