yes usney sab ko chup kara diya..after all dabangness hai varna abhay mein kaisa woh dabangness aata? :) chup kara diya sabko :) i didnt lilke him as shiv either..but abhay became a part of my heart just like you :)

This is an age old debate so my POV won't add anything new to the table. I'll only say this - more than "good looks", looking presentable and attractive is more important. You cannot come dressed in rags, shaggy and disheveled and expect the world to be wowed away by your acting skills alone - except if you are auditioning for the role of a beggar! Even Rani in KKHH, Vidya in Parineeta, Bhool Bhulaiyya or TDP and Kajol (DDLJ, KKKG etc) had to change their style statements to fit into the B-town. Not so good looking actors like Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt etc ... work on their physique, dress with care and act well to fit in.

Acting well IS important though...you cannot sustain the industry on good looks alone - otherwise 100s of beefed up males and plastic surgery-ied females would be rich and famous. But that is not so. If one can couple good acting with an attractive and charming persona, then statistics say that those actors are successful.

On a parting note - beauty is in the eye of the beholder as well...

i understand , for dressing in rags and not taking care of yourself screams out the fact that youre a klutz and a misfit but you are beautiful just the way you are...i would know cause thats how i am.lol.

great post & to be honest, I completely agree with you.
I guess its simple - when someone looks good, he/she is praised.
However, I would like to disagree that talent overpowers looks. I feel that when someone is not talented enough, then all that is talked about is his/her looks, for eg. Katrina Kaif (no offence to her fans) but have you ever heard anyone comment on her acting & even if you have, has it ever been a positive comment? I doubt.
Watching a show everyday, characters & the artist playing the characters, esp. the leads, grow on you. So soon you start liking the way they look & its natural to comment on them. Furthermore, even though they are normal people, for us who are watching them on TV, they are not like us. They are considered to be stars. So, the way they look/dress automatically becomes important & they are the people we can drool over. We don't drool over the people around us, we drool over stars.
OK, I think i didn't make any sense. just my rant.
great topic, though :)

Of course everyone is beautiful the way there are... dark, fair, tall, short, fat, slim etc really does not matter if you know how to groom up a bit and look presentable, throw in some positive attitude and a charming smile, and you'll have people hooting, oops rooting for you in no time. 😆

All I can say EML is that ... to each his own ..

If people want to go gaga over someone for their looks , it's okay , if someone cares more for their acting skills that's perfectly okay too ! That's why all kinds of fans exist .

Personally ... I think .. Tellywood ho ya Bollywood .. Looks are important to a large extent ! It's a visual medium after all , c mon now :) Our definitions for beauty , good looks however may differ . I may find someone extremely good looking and you may not ...!

For me though , I have no specific parameter for a fav ..! I may like one actor for stricly their looks and another for only their acting skills ...!

Good question!

My answer is that looks - classical looks -- don't matter.

In Bollywood the best lookers and the best figures are the item girls. The heroines - I mean the big ones like Rani, Kajol, Vidya - they're good looking but not the best.

The real stars - if you look closely - are never the most handsome or beautiful. But they have something. a special spark, a star quality. Call it attractiveness, screen presence - which is different from mere looks. Yes, that's important.
And talent? ALL important.

So that's what I think.
