Kollywood discussion - part 2 - Page 7

I think Jo became shapely in her later movies, earlier she WAS a barrel hip...But ofcourse her acting skills were superb!!! Same thing with Khushboo!!

no yaar jenim. i wasn't talking about your comments on jothika's hips. actually i was quoting ditty & added your comments by mistake.😆😆

i was talking about those people who openly demean jothika's appearance saying she'll burst if she grows any 'fatter'. you didn't diss her like those school girls did.😛 as far i see, you haven't been dissing anyone. hehe..😆😆

the matter of trisha is entirely different. she was no looker but somehow she got much less or no comments at all about her appearance than say jothika got about her appearance. no one dissed trisha on national tv about how horrid or 'ugly' she looked. why is it that some actresses are no better than others but yet don't get as much critisism? i only find that aspect very unfair.

for me, even if trisha was a plain jane, if she could actually act well, i would be defending her as well. but no.. she cannot act. she's not even half as talented as jothika is yet she gets all the big banner films. so you can say i've a grudge against her.

meanwhile jothika who is a very talented actress was/is being picked apart because she was a lot more overweight than the typical waify actress. true personal grooming is very important when you're an actress but apart from being on the heavy side, jothika groomed herself excellently.

i've never seen her with bad skin, bad hair or wearing horrid outfits that exposed her cellulite.

Since I was quoted,

It is a fact that Jo never had the correct body structure. But as we all know well, her acting skills covred up for her shape. Its not just acting skills that Jo has, but that pleasant face and bubbly look can attract anyone. And Leena, you knwo well that I'm a big Jo fan, right 😉My mum finds her ver se*y,inspite of her 'barrel hips'.(Jenim, you were right there, just using your terms 😊 )

Even I was pissed off when soemone said ''Saritha and Jo won't fit in a screen' when June R was announced. I think its not over weight, but jst baby fat. But she did look slimmer by the time of Kaaka kaaka.And heard she's working out to get rid of her pregancy weight, so we might see a different 'hour glass' Jo when she makes her comeback. 👍🏼

does it really matter whther a heroine is thin or stout

i enjoy seeing both 😆

what do all think abt the film i dont know the name properly(i think saroja) by venkat prabhu based on girls

i dont think he can take a true to heart film based on girls like ch-28

I prefer actresses who are curvy. I dislike very thin actresses.

Sure Usha.. why not? Wafer thin actresses aren't very appealing to the general mass that goes to the movies.. may be they are best suited to be models/in the ad industry.

But there's a difference between curvy and stocky. A fine example of what (or who) comes to mind when thinking of curvy is the not-so-popular Sangeetha. She has a perfect body. And Jyothika is the latter kind.

Jiggly - I don't know why the topic is getting side tracked to Trisha. Borrowing your own terms, she is a plain Jane. What an apt description! I've seen her when she was in her early teens (when she was a nobody) and God I would have never believed that one day she would be a star, even if they had given me a million bucks!

To be a star, at least in today's film world, you had to have certain characteristic. Because there's actresses dime a dozen and they keep sprouting like mushroom every single day, you had to have the edge. One has to be pretty, have a good body and act well too. Just having one such charecteristic does NOT make up for the other. The same logic that we apply to Shriya - she does have a pretty face and a great body. But are we audiences ready to accept her as a favorite star sans her acting? And we are not living in SarojaDevi days where the audience's taste was for stocky heroines, who could also act.

Simply to say that Jyothika had a pretty face and acted well, doesn't make up for the stocky figure that she had pretty much most of the time that she was in the industry. If she could slim down for the Simbu starrer Manmadhan, she could've definitely done it much sooner and spared audiences like me who were shocked to see her adding to her weight, movie after movie, (rumor has it that she did lose good film chances due to her weight issue). There were movies that had her with double chin and surely that was not a pretty sight at all. There's a certain song in 12B, supposedly with college students that she dances for, where she literally looks like a barrel. I'm not kidding...

Hey Ditty - what is baby fat, when you are in your 20's? Sure.. baby like innocent face does look pretty, but not a baby-fat-body! SriDevi VijayaKumar was a lot chubbier when she was a child star. I was stunned when I saw her nicely slimmed down when she starred as a heroine. If she could do it, then anybody can! Sneha has done it now, after realizing that her hips were.. err.. for lack of a better word.. "expanding". Esp, being a star such as Jyothika, she definitely could've worked harder to keep in shape. BTW, my Mom too would hate me if she knows that I'm discussing Jyo in such light.. She totally adores Jyothika and jollu uttufies at her beauty.. she keeps on saying evlo azhagu Jyo.. I admit she does have a pretty face and very pretty eyes.. I felt kind of drowing in those big beautiful eyes, in certain shots of her in the "Making of Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu" DVD.

Personal grooming definitely includes keeping fit. Oh.. she was way, far away from having kept fit. In Kushi, where Vijay was supposed to be looking at her hips, they could only show her tummy, 'cos she didn't have "hips that could be shown" at that time. And talking about good hair, skin etc., most actresses pretty much pose for pics in a studio or the stills that we get to see are released by film makers where the cast is already thoroughly made up. Or in movie events, where they are perfectly made up for the occasion. Except for some stray cases where you saw Trisha's pic exposing cellulite, we don't usually get to see them without tons of make up or in bad light. Exception would be hollywood - there is loads of Papparazzi and you get to see disastrous pics of actors/actresses sans makeup splashed in the tabloids all the time.

yeap, thats true, but yet again you see so many thin actresses. This debate is yet popular in UK as its called the size zero and many teenagers are following this suite.

Actually if you see Sangeetha's earlier movies where she was known as Rasikaa...Man!!!! She was STOCKY and pretty awkward looking, but now she is good!!
