Do people actually think Aishwarya is that good an actress that they're wishing she was in Veer Zara, Chalte Chalte, and however many other films?
Rani, Kajol and Preity are all better actresses. Especially Rani and Kajol.
And I'm surprised people are saying Preity and Kajol are not 'beautiful enough' to play Zara and Paro. I wonder what it takes to meet your lofty beauty standards. Both girls are pretty, and if Kajol did an SLB film he would have worked his cinematography 'magic' to make her look 'spellbinding'.
If he can use cinematography to emphasise the looks of Sonam, Deepika, and Aishwarya, he could have done the same for Kajol.
To this day I don't get the hype around Aishwarya's looks. She's pretty, yes. But she's not an otherworldly beauty that outshines all other women. There's a lot of hyperbole around her.
