Is stardom based on flowerpot roles real stardom?

So actresses like Katrina and Shraddha have made a career playing flowerpot roles and getting lots of love and popularity for the same. After all, they also feature in top 5 of Omaxe list and other lists too which measure popularity. They have edged out Kangana, Vidya who often act in female-centric movies.

But my question is: is this stardom tenable in the long run? After all, playing itsy-bitsy roles in commercial movies with big heroes is easy. Isn't the real test of stardom when you carry a film on your shoulders? Or are flowerpot/decorative roles equally challenging?

Discuss.

IF Deepika fans ki personal Shaleena striked again 😆

Chapaak nahi chal rahi aisi time par aise question puch rahe ho?

Who says which film has good or bad roles. Even class cinema like 3 Idiots and Kaminey didnt have strong roles for women but the actresses didnt face the same backlash as they do in male oriented action film. I think its upto an actor/actress to make the role spark (whatever role it is)

End of the day being apart of a successful film is the best thing

Even if I ignore the personal attack, I don't think your question deserves an answer.

And it's struck, not striked (can't ignore bad grammar).

I agree with your last sentence, but my question is more about the stardom which is built on doing next to nothing in successful films. For e.g. - Shraddha Kapoor plays small parts in 100 crore films, but when it comes to Haseena Parker, the movie opens at 1 crore. Does she have box-office pull?

Shradda's film Chichore did well no ?

No she hasn't failed the test. The movie was a grim subject, portraying her as disfigured, and clashed with a biggie. Please take all factors into account. It still opened at a respectable 4 crores, more than Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, Rani Mukherjee and Sonam Kapoor's latest films.

Katrina carried New York, MBKDH which are not typical masala fares and was a major contributor to Tiger series success ( Zoya is not a typical flowerpot character) so try harder next time .

@bold when you drop down to grammar, it's evident you have no points to argue about. 🤣

Bad grammar hi sahi but that person's logic is intact.

When will we Indians stop taking pride in speaking perfect English?

It's just a language for God's sake not something to feel superior about. 😆
