What makes Deepika stand out from her contemporaries? - Page 5

An overactive PR team- Sonam Kapoor😆

Screen presence! That’s all. When she looks at the camera, it is as if she is talking directly to audience. Same quality We see in many yesteryear actresses. But her diction needs lot of improvement.

Off topic: I believe Rekha is the only South Indian who mastered the language and diction to that level. She is even better than actresses who are from Hindi/Urdu speaking native land.

Her PR Team😛

Her PR team is the worst and she herself is not very articulate and comes across insecure. If what her PR does is a strategy, that should be in biz school syllabus on what not to do

Her beauty and screen presence makes it hard to take your eyes off her on-screen. Also her script sense, choosing roles that gave her scope to stand out along side her heroes(i.e, not flowerpot roles).

She had amazing screen presence here.

I never understood these traditionally beautiful faces nonsense. Nobody can deny Deepika is stunning. I mean, Deepika's entire appeal is only how beautiful she is. None of the other actresses compete with her on that. 😆

There were more talented ones than her like Vidya, Priyanka and Kangana.

There were more "hotter" actresses like Katrina.

There were more conventionally beautiful faces like Sonal Chauhan, Neha Sharma and Aditi Rao Hydari.

Yet, Deepika emerged as numeru-uno and ruled for a good many years.

What makes her so successful?

Height. (I'm answering the question in the title of the thread.)

Songs for which school children would dance. Ghoomar or Deewani were popular among kids, including the dresses.

An actress sets a trend with her dances for longevity. These will becomes her trademark songs with some signature steps.
Madhuri had from Ek Do Teen or Didi Tera Dewar Diwana. Kareena could set a trend with Yeh Ishq Hae. (Titillating songs like Fevicol are only seasonal, as kids cannot carry those songs for years till they grow up).
