I agree with all this. But this goes with all the roles she had acclaim for. PS2, Guru, Bhansali films, Taal, Raincoat, Chokhar Bali. Her range was basically the very traditional indian woman. Beyond that she hardly got acclaim. She did get some for Bride and Prejudice. A lot of people who gave the film four star reviews in the west, were impressed by her looks and acting. But that was all covered up by the huge establishment in India. She had managed to piss off all three Khans. They even made Bride and Prejudice look like a failure. When it was one of the first movies to earn three times is budget. There was so much emphasis put on little things like her giggling during the interviews.
Again a very very limited range actress. I am not all the impressed with Deepika as an actress. But even she to some extent has a better range then Aish.
There are certain roles in which she can shine in. And many who don't like her would agree SLB will never find a better muse in his life. Even Alia who is a far better actress does not fit into his world as much. She does not have the same aesthetic appeal that is required since he is all about the grandeur and visuals.
