Even Aditi Rao Hydari looked stunning and would have made a better Padmavati.
Is there really a shortage of good-looking women in Bollywood that they had to take a woman whose looks faded ages ago? No idea what she did but she hasn't looked gorgeous in years.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I find Deepika beautiful and if one is honest during the time of the Padmavati supposed saga (some say she was nothing but a legend) the world was less globalized therefore a more ethnic look was proper for a Padmavati...
But Alas! you have all been globalied to and think a blond hair streaked, fair skin, false eyelash wearing laxmi is the essence of beauty.
Women like Deepika, Aishwarya and so many others have that unmistakable ethnic look, they ARE the truest ideal examples of female Hindi beauty in my humble opinion, I find them gorgeous...maybe that is what SLB was going for...
