They tried to construct her image like Jennifer Lawrence in her initial days of gaining her popularity and Oscar nominations. The “regular relatable girl”.
The problem is it’s too hard to keep up with an image when it’s not genuine. Hard for people to know what’s real. Her appearance on the Kapil Sharma show with akshay was an example, she is now going for the mature serious actress kinda vibe I guess. It’s hard to keep up the bubbly, girl next door vibe now the likes of Anaya, Jhanvi and shanaya are all getting the media hype, she needs a change, these last few years she should’ve really cemented her place in the mainstream but bad movie choices and just bad movies with equally bad acting dampened any potential.
At this point she should be where Alia was in 2016, in terms of successes considering the initial circus of “the next big thing” around her, slowly transitioning into the next phase of big content driven projects, but talent matters eventually. I’ve never thought Alia was amazing acting wise (especially the way people praise her) but she is good and her performances always magnified due to well written roles for her, she also gets found out in movies like sadak and shandaar where the writing is weak. But being able to cherry pick the right projects worked wonders for her.
With sara it’s neither here nor there at the moment, she can’t go in the mainstream flowerpot roles as the new and upcoming ones are getting more of the hype and doesn’t have enough credibility yet to do the content driven stuff, but it’s possible atrangi re is the turning point.
