Ash a good role model or a good wife?

Okay many of us know that Ash has not been so popular about her acting skills... I mean many of us will agree that her acting skills have only impressed in a few roles while others have left us wanting more from her... despite that I always applauded her for all her achievements... she is the face of bollywood and India (in a way). Coming from main-stream bollywood, she did help make the cross-over between bollywood and hollywood. Even her performance in Provoked was great 👏. She was the first Indian actress to be on Opera and Late night show. She is considered one the most beautiful women in the world, she is an international star. She even went forth to the media and went against big stars like Salmaan Khan and SRK, which required courage (whatever the reason behind as I am not too sure of the what the truth was there)...

But the entire wedding thing has really put me off, and I no longer can see Ash as a role-model for women. She used to be someone we all could look up to and say here is a woman who achieved so much and all her own. Now she is no more a woman who was opening new doors ...but just another woman who put herself through so much for marriage. First comes the entire Manglik dosh, and all the puja's. Okay that is their belief...but it really makes you think...if Ash could not step up and ask for such practices to come to an end then what can expect from the common women? There are so many girls in India, who are discriminated against and have problems in their marriage due to the colour of their skin, the manglik dosh or many other such things... and now Ash can be added to the list.

Another thing... what is the big deal about the kiss in Dhoom? Abhishek kissed Rani in bunty and Bubly, Amithabh kissed Rani in Black... then why is that when it comes to their "Bahu" does it become such a controversy and so wrong? Why does Ash not ask for Abhishek's kiss with Rani to be removed from the movie? And doesn't the word "ACTOR" or "ACTING" mean something? She was acting as the character Surili!

And lastly Jaya Bachan on KWK made a comment that Ash will be a great wife b/c she has great patience and knows to step back and just listen... and I got the idea that JB was making the point that as long as Ash is submissive she will make a good wife. Is that the definition of a wife?

What example is she and the Bachan family putting forth for others? Many of you will probably disagree with me but I really had to put my thoughts forth...😊...dont' mean to offend any one 😊

who cares. move on and let others move on as well.. this must be 1000th topic about this.... we create topics .. make comments and then complain.. oh so many topics about ash abhi and bachchan.. only we can end this cycle.. so a humble request .. lets all move on.. who cares what kind of role model ash will be as wife and star...... only time will tell

but what is the need for another topic so people can bash her acting skills.. her skills as good homemaker and good wife..

Mods please intervene and end this mania ..

I think she is a nice gal and will make a good wife and bahu.

I never liked her as an actress. I liked her in Choker Bali though, she looked so pretty with less makeup etc. I liked her in the temple, she looked pretty and her face was blooking with sindoor. 😛

But I really like her for the fact that she achieved what she is today all by herself. 👏 👏

😆... I am sorry, actually I didn't realize that there were other similar topics opened... I was just really upset and made the topic and then looked at the forum...my mistake. I will ask the mod to close to the topic.

As for who cares... I do 😳 ... I don't care how Ash and Abhi relationship will be... but I care about what sort of an Example Ash is setting for so many girls who look up to her.. I am can't get over the fact abt the Manglik Dosh...

If Ash-Abhi are the topic of the day, then surely this "madness" will remain whether we talk about it or not. We can express our views on something that is the "current flavour" in the media...when it dies down (as it eventually will), so be it.

As for Ash being a good role model, well, I'm not sure who exactly is being the submissive one in this Bachchan saga - is Ash pulling the strings or is she the one being sucked into this whirlwind? It's hard to tell, at the moment...

Here is my view on Ash and it might sound Anti Ash so sorry Ash fans this is just how I feel, please dont take offense. 😃

First of all I never was one of those people who when ash and sush started acting in the industry said they could never do it, many said they were just beauty queens and will never make it big. But she did, well ash did anyways and sush sort of went a different way.

Her movies all flopped in the beginning but she made it big with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and she proved everyone wrong. Then came the whole Salman fiasco and everything just fell apart in her public image. Allegations started flying around, finger pointing, he said she said, and police getting involved. What disappointed me the most is she never stood up to or owned up to what she alleged that salman did to her. Here was a man she was accusing of being with the mobs, abusing her, threatening her and torturing her. All this sounds scary and serious, and I know she didnt get much support from the industry people because Sal had many friends, but she could have changed that she could have went after him after all she was a role model for so many woman in india. She could have stood up for all those voiceless woman who cant stand up for themselves. Then came Vivek Oberoi and when he made a public fool of himslef I started doubting whether or not she was speaking the truth, was it half true or all just a publicity stunt. Her credibility was shot, no matter what sal did at the end of the day she backed down when it really mattered and chose her career over a real social issue.

I wonder now if Abhi would have asked Ash to marry him, if Ash went after Sal and made sure if he did anything wrong and punished him for it. Because whether or not she won against Sal, her career would have been dead, but atleast she would have been an woman of great courage and conviction. Maybe she was clever and thought about the future, thought I want to be married to a nice man and a powerful family and if I go after Sal I will never get those nice things if I drag my name through mud. She didnt think it was worth it to fight Sal, so was that wrong, I mean so what she put herself first arent we all selfish. Who thinks about society and standing up for what is right anymore, we are not Gandhis so why should we expect celebrities to act like one.

At the end of the day I perceive her as being subservient. She succumbed to the power of Salman Khan (if she spoke to the truth about his abuse), and she seems succumb to the Bachans. Hey I am the first person to jump up and say treating your inlaws with utmost respect is our indian culture, but not at the extent of it making it look like she is taking two steps backward.

So sorry went off track there. But is she a good role model, no definitely not because if she lied even a little about sal then it is horredous of her to make a mockery out of such a serious issue for personal vendetta. But if she spoke the truth then I question her courage, her motives and her priorities. If she was never willing to fight the fight there was no need to talk the talk either. Ultimately will she be a good wife, I think she will if at the end of the day her reasons for this marriage were right, there is genuine love and it is not all a farce.
