He is too shallow to be a director..He implies that looks overshadow talent😵

My first reaction after the heading was: and Kareena..woh toh maa ki kokh se acting seekh ke aayi thi

He's right but it's a very shallow thing to say about cinema. Both DP and Aish were known for their looks, model turned actresses, called wooden for the longest time. And at times, it's hard to get past the beauty and delve deeper into the story/character.

However, I don't think looks are the defining reason one should be an actress. There are other stunning faces like Diya Mirza or Lara Dutta and Sush but unfortunately they never become mega-stars. The defining factor is talent, work hard, some luck, picking the right roles, and ultimately that X-factor.

Aish/DP may have been born with stunning faces, but their claim to fame it's much more than they're beauty. I think watching the full interview in context might explain if KJo goes on to say more. He does mention how unconventional lookers like SRK, Dilip Kumar, Big B made a niche for themselves too.

Of course it does in Bollywood...He is just being blunt here...We all know BW and BW audience goes after looks and not talent...

As if he is going to say what he really thinks of her. The words are just as fake as the kisses that are exchanged between the bollywood fraternity when they meeta at parties.

He has made such statements about every actress when she reaches top and when she startes to fall . He moves to next big thing . He did same with even kajol rani and even kareena . Same even with srk . Srk is friends with you only till you are in top bracket . When you fall he abondons you . He did same with juhi .

I think the overall point he is trying to make is certain actors belong to movies. Be it their looks or aura. It's not just a BW thing either. There are movie stars and there are actors. Not everyone has to be Meryl Streep.

I mean Tom Cruise is a movie star. He's not a terrible actor yet he's never known as the greatest actor. Same with Brad Pitt. I think Audrey Hepburn to just had that look and aura of belonging to movies.

Juhi and SRK are business partner.
