first of all.. buffie, i NEVER called you a manipulator and politician..stop putting words in my mouth. all i said was that this weight issue has gotten out of hand. if you thought mona was fat before, fine, thats your opinion.. but dont broadcast it like that, becuz different people have different definitions of fat... i'm not either a die-hard mona fan or a die-hard shveta fan, but i'm personally against judgemental comments that has nothing to do with talent. I have ALWAYS said that.. initially when Mona fans were bashing Shveta's personality, and right now when everybody's harping on and on about Mona's weight. There's a reason why BOTH those women are in the finals, weight issue or not, or snob issues or not.
as far as ash, sush, lara, diya mirza, priyanka, etc making it in bollywood, well they had the bonus of being beauty queens.. Anyway, thats a moot point. I don't know any television actress who's made it into films..So if Mona hasn't gotten it, then it's a matter of time and luck. For that matter, neither has Shveta made it, and she's been around a heck of a lot longer.
As far as Konkona Sen Sharma, She's got her own style. She is a TRUE actress.. in just a matter of 2 years, she's made her mark. Now, THAT's true cinema. She may seem "second fiddle" to kareena and ash, but remember where these two women came from.. ash's first movie made me cringe when i saw it. Kareena went thru a bad phase as well. So don't be judgemental like that, making it seem that their weight is the one main reason they're in!! It really makes me laugh.
Please, again, this stupid topic is getting out of hand. Don't ruin Mona's happiness of being in the finals by making these stupid, inane topics the main focus of conversations and debates., Show some maturity and class!
