a good pr can even make a below average actor/actress ‘“star” 😆

They keep bringing her up in all threads

Good luck to them!

Then going by that twisted logic of yours, you must be a closet hardcore Alia fanatic considering you keep opening threads about her in order to get her bashed in unique ways? 🤪 not only that but you also keep dragging her in threads which are no way related to her. The obsession is real and it's creepy af!

I bet Alia lives in your head rent free!

In general, most actresses rely on the strategic mix of all other options, and which is where the problem begins.

If anything, I think Vidya Balan has proven that you don't have to be a certain "type" of heroine to be successful.

She never had her career curated, never part of any club, worked with different directors, never relied on any particular pairing with a co-star, never relied on off-screen controversies, never relied on just working with Khans, never cared about the number game, never part of any race .... AND all of that purely based on her talent.

Yes. She has played love interests BUT her characters were never 'flowerpots' or just love-interests to prop up the heroes. And that's been her since first film, Parineeta.

Even in films like Lage Raho Munnabhai, Hey Baby etc ... her characters were well layered, and weren't just props.

She also has done A LOT of exciting, re-invention & different stuff with Paa, Kahani, Bobby Jaasoos, The Dirty Picture, Ishqiya, Tumharu Sulu, Misson Mangal, Shakuntala Devi etc.

She is a successful actress in her own right.

Taapsee took a while to understand this, but now she's doing films on her own terms.

Anubhav Sinha could be called her "curator", but I think it's more to do with her being talented and credible than anything else.
