mention in the blind item carried in the
weekly column of a magazine. We could
easily guess who is being spoken about in
the juicy piece. How about you?
Here's what the blind item reads:
This young actress whose most recent film
has come a cropper at the box-office is
reportedly upset with critics for dismissing
her work' in the film as strictly decorative'.
Given that she had barely 10 lines in the
entire movie and less screen- time than all of
the other principals, some would say the
critics were being polite. The joke in the
industry is that the twenty-something
comes from a legacy of the finest timber in
Bollywood, and has turned out to be a chip
off the old block. It is likely that her wax
impression would be more animated than
her,' one reviewer declared.
No wonder she's been telling friends she
wants to punch the critics'. But shouldn't
her anger be aimed at her director, who
reportedly slashed her role on her very first
day after she took more than a dozen
retakes to get a simple line right? According
to well placed sources, a senior actor in the
cast who is thick with the director,
recommended that the actress' role be kept
to a bare minimum after it became clear she
was too raw and couldn't match the timing
and speed of the rest of the cast.
One catty insider remarked that the actress
talked more in the interviews she's been
giving to promote the film, than she did on
screen. Ouch!
