😛Sorry just a correction. This is totally out of the point but from which angle did Manisha appear as a flop star? In the 90s, Manisha was infact the most sought after stars, and at one point of time, even more popular than Kajol …
Kajol has always been my fav. Actor since DDLJ. Initial days were tough for her coz she did not exactly have the drop-dead-gorgeous looks and NOT becoz she was a bad actor. Even some Kajol fans will agree with me that Kajol was never that pretty as she is now.
And this was the reason why she had to struggle. But with the makeover in DDLJ, it was an obvious reason why she was considered one of the best actresses in the 90s.. As far giving hits with primarily srk and Kjo go, yes.. I agree her most memorable movies were with them. But she's an intelligent lady n if it works for her, so why not?
As far as Ekta's opinion goes, its perfectly alright. She is entitled to her opinion and I admire her daring open nature. Ekta's opinion is not a fact and will not change my preference for Kajol. So, to me it really doesn't make a difference. And it shouldn't make a difference for kajol fans too.
If you guys really wanna know whether kajol is really overrated, she should be compared to her contemporaries.
Like Karisma Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Raveena Tandon, Shilpa Shetty and Juhi Chawla. That would be fair and relatively justified. And we can then really see whether she's really overrated ..
