It was an example and what I said is that seeing as it's a book adaptation, the director can take any actress he wants to play Estella. It all comes down to the director's vision period.

For example SLB took Aishwarya to play Paro while Anurag Kashyap took Mahi Gill.


You think Katrina embodies near perfection good for you but in my books she's only pretty while I find others to be beautiful.
Aishwarya is a real beauty it's known fact.
And Katrina does things to her face nothing wrong with that but she looked better before... fresher if you will.

I honestly cant see Bipasha Basu or mahi Gill being taken to play the Estella of Abhisheks Fitoor.

Just as i cant see mahie Gill or Bipasha Basu playing paro of SLBs Devdas. There is a kind of vibe the director is envisioning there. and replacing a Katrina with a bipasha isnt an option if one wants to make it believable.

Mahie Gills Paro must hv been a completely different version of paro in Anurag kashyaps Devdas...i just cant see nurag Kashyap making a Devdas the kind SLB produced...he makes edgy raw contemporary films...not historical type saga on a grand scale!

That's what I said! It all depends on the director's vision. Devdas and Dev D are both adaptations of the same book. Yet, each director did it his way and chose the actors accordingly.

My saying that Bipasha could be an Estella stands because if a director were to write a script based on Great Expectations while envisionning Bipasha then she'd be it.

Are you getting it? I'm not saying Bipasha would have been better in Fitoor but that maybe another actress could have. Deepika for example it really depends on what and who the director envisionned.

We know the movie's fate so obviously something went wrong. Maybe it wasn't Katrina who was miscasted but her role which was wrongly written.

I can understand that you don't find Aishwarya to be beautiful but the thing is there is a concensus that she's the most beautiful woman on earth. It's no wonder that Will Smith and Brad Pitt among others are going gaga over her.
Aishwarya has also been awarded the most beautiful woman on earth title and to this day that's how papers internationally are talking about her.
Sure there might be more beautiful woman than her but she's the one who olds the title. Like it or not she's one of India's ambassador so be proud instead of belittling her because of your dislike.

Anyway, Katrina is pretty that's good enough too. She managed to make her career on it, that's quite an achievement, isn't it?




When did i said I don't find her beautiful? she is frigging beautiful ofcourse but all these most beautiful women awards and blah blah are crappie shite, which holds no real value. Those are popularity awards/titles given to flavor of the month.
Also you have to bring the Nationality crap right? why should i be proud of Aish? What are her accomplishments that make India proud apart from winning another popularity contest called Miss World which is nearly half a dozen girls have won for the nation. What are her achievement in cinema? What work has she done to bring India in world cinema?

Correcting the accent isnt as easy we think. It sometimes even takes forever. We speak Urdu at home and my sister still can't get the right accent instead she's a pro in Arabic. She herself has mentioned in many of her interviews that her biggest drawback is getting the accent.

So let's just pardon her for this

13 years in an industry and you can't learn a language that is not an excuse.It's about working hard on it which certainly she hasn't bothered to do.

How is that crap ? I'm not Indian and when someone of my country is appreciated by others I'm proud.
If she wasn't India's pride why is that that she received so much flack because she failed to lose her pregnancy weight ?

Aishwarya has starred in numerous interesting movies in India (Chocker Bali, Raincoat, Devdas, Kandukondain Kandukondain, Guru, Jodhaa Akbar...) also, even though it may seem little to you she worked in some English/Hollywood movies like Provoked and Bride & Prejudice (which contributed to propagate Indian culture a little more) which enabled the likes of Priyanka and Deepika to known it was faisable.

Aishwarya could have done a lot more seeing as Brad Pitt and Will Smith wanted to star in a movie with her and that she was supposed to star in the remake of 2003 French movie Chaos which could have done a lot for her. But her inhibitions were in the way and she may not have been interested much to work in Hollywood further (she still jungled with Indian films)

Blinking her eye...👏 What an observation

She was main reason behind failure of the movie. She got screen time, acting chances in this movie n she spoiled it with KNORR.
It sticks out like a sore thumb coz baby Firdaus was played lovely by the child actress

KNORR soup,Raja Sen's review. 🤣 Stir Noor. 🤣
Edit:The child actors were brilliant.

i think what audience the film got, some of it was because they were fans of katrina and aditya...yes the lions share of audience was Abhishek kapoors fans...because of Rock On and kai po che.
