Yami Gautam is both beautiful and talented! Katrina was a bad actress! And I am sure she to some extent knew it. I feel there are two ways to approach things one is to be sweet and diplomatic for success. Another way is to call a spade a spade.
What is also true that certain critics also called Sara Ali Khan a wasted talented actress in Coolie number 1. Umm. I was one of the few who thought Sara Ali Khan showed promise in Kedernath. After Love Ajkal there was no doubt she was terrible actress. A few thought Ananya did well in Gehraiyan. After that to say an actress like Yami Gautam was giving forced expressions. Soojit Sarkar being one of the most masterful film makers Bollywood has seen. He doesn’t just select actors for his movies for the heck of it, nepotism or casting couch. Anyone who has watched the film knows how wrong Anupama was in her review. Read the comments under the video which Anupama gives her review. 90% of people ageeed Anupama must have been smoking something. Those who have seen any of Yami’s other work would agree she is not Smita Patil but she is a decent actress. I think it was fine here. As long as she doesn’t come across too whiny.
