Deepika: yay or nay

1. She struggled to reach where she is today. Though she gave hits like Om Shanti Om and Love Aaj Kal, it is only with Cocktail that her acting potential was recognised.

2. She has actually improved her acting by leaps and bounds. there was a time when she was in a movie just for the glam doll factor. Today she is more than a diva. She is an ACTRESS.

3. Today she can carry a film on her shoulders. Be it Piku or even the offbeat Finding fanny, Deepika had a role which demanded acting chops, she lived upto it and how!

4. DP has screen presence, looks, dancing ability.

5. She can do item dances like 'Lovely', and author-backed roles like Piku,both with equal ease.

6. She proved her acting chops with Cocktail. She was simply BRILLIANT in that movie.

7. 2013 was her year with back-to-back hits which were all part of the 100 crore club.

Let's discuss. even her critics are welcome to join.

no need...it's all out there...everyone knows

Difficult to tell if you are bashing Deepika or Goddess Lakshmi ..

I am not bashing anyone.

I basically referred to Deepika's PR article where title was: "Deepika is mata laksmi". My own point was: she s the biggest victim ever.

Well you were bashing DP , that part was quite obvious , i dont see why you should put a different spin on it ,especially since i dont see anything wrong with bashing or praising a celeb on this forum..

As for the PR article , yes it has been brought to my knowledge and yes i do think the PR article should get its share of blame here .. having said that , i just want to reiterate something which i have been saying on this forum for a while now .. in Hinduism women are often compared to (or even considered as ) different forms of Hindu goddesses .. the PR article though stupid , had nothing offensive about it from religious POV .. but when DP bashing brigade starts chanting name of a Hindu Goddess in a mocking or disrespectful way , it is downright offensive .. Goddess Lakshmi is by no means an insult nor should be used as one ..

I repeat , bash the celebs you dislike as much as want , you are entitled to do it as much as any other member of this forum but that does not mean you take my religion or religious sentiments for granted .. or else things could turn very very ugly .. i dont care what the imbecile mods do then .. 😆

The way you tried to project DP as Mata Lakshmi who in your own words ' is the biggest victim ever' reeked of malicious bigotry , either you are using DP bashing excuse to bash Hinduism or you are unaware of the cultural norms in Hinduism , which is why i enquired about your religion ..

Dipla is always Yay for me. 😳 ❤️
