take any girl for example

tamanna, kajal agarwal, asin, ileana..

though ileana's career graph is better than the others of the list..but still she is not on top...

arent they beautiful? talented?

Things were different in the past. We had Hema Malini,Rekha,Sri Devi,Jaya Prada et al who ruled the roost... the fortunes of South Indian actresses declined in the last 2 decades. Heroines have fared better than the heroes.. poor guys I feel for them... Kamal Hassan achieved a modicum of success..but what about others...?

Can anyone tell why South Indian Actors have not made it big in Bollywood???????

What could the reason be?

I used to hate those stupid "aiyyo ji" jokes🤢 ..thank God they have stopped partly due to IT revolution and opening up of job opportunities in the south...but southie men have it tough..really tough in Bollywood...

A lot of actors are very good looking...and yet...

Only Deepz...Anushka was born in U.P but went to college in B'lore... so even if we can call her a Banglorean, Bollywood looks at ethnicity and Anushka is terms of Bollywood is not a south-indian...

What about actors???? isn't south really under represented there?
