DP taking dig at PC? - Page 5

Not at all. She could also continue to do small roles there. But she chose to enjoy her stardom in India. PC is there for the money mainly. She does not care about stardom anymore.

Things work differently in Hollywood. PC is struggling there, and the struggle may continue forever; you never know. Lily Gladstone was about to retire permanently, having opted for a data science course after years of struggling and not getting anywhere until she got an email from Martin Scorsese for 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' and now things have completely turned for her. That kind of persistence and patience can be endured only by someone who doesn't have anything better going for them. PC wouldn't have left Bollywood either if she wasn't blacklisted by everyone here. Deepika or Katrina wouldn't go to Hollywood just to struggle for years when they have flourishing careers in Bollywood itself. As for Priyanka not being interested in stardom, well, that's a case of sour grapes for her, lol.

Yes. And I don't really consider Priyanka as successful in hollywood. She is earning money, thats all.

And off topic, but I don't understand how she is making India proud by doing those small roles. Many actors before her did such small roles in hollywood but nobody said they made India proud. Its just that PC has settled there as a citizen. That is what many Indians do.

Didn't she move from Bangalore to Mumbai to pursue a career in Bollywood? It's the same thing, but she wants to make a Mera Bharat Mahaan speech. Typical pick me behaviour.

Sour grapes is a well known story, DP

There are some actors who work in an industry just to get that cred under their belt. They don't hire an agency to represent them though. DP did.

With re: PC. It's undeniable that Hollywood has bigger reach currently. Korean movies and TV, too, but I don't think they hire non Koreans. Hollywood also means more money. What's wrong with that ambition? PC ain't running a drug mafia or laundering money. She's just working hard. When did ambition become a dirty word?

Also, actors like Irrfan and Tabu were accepted by the industry without speaking like *them.* Not talking about box office success, but in terms of recognition by industry insiders.

Having a three-minutes cameo in Matrix is not a Hollywood movie career. The little Desi girl who cameo'd in Matrix 3 has more relevance in the fanbase. Deepika or no Deepika, Priyanka isn't earning more there lol

NRIs or second generation Desis relate much more to Dev/Mindy/Kal Penn/ Maithali/even Irrfan or Shah Rukh than they do with PC or Deepika.

Irrfan or Tabu never presented themselves either as the sole representative of India in the west or as Hollywood stars themselves. Every one of their ig post didn't feel like a ten-minutes lecture on India lol.

They knew they'd sought out as Desi actors foremost and they kept/keep on working here as well. Priyanka's PR and their PR are not comparable at all.

Its not about sour grapes. Bollywood actresses do not have much scope in hollywood. Even PC is doing small roles there.

Deepika is enjoying her stardom in India. She is happy here. She tried in hollywood and it didn't work out for her.

Even SRK said he didn't want to go to hollywood. He said he would rather represent bollywood to the world.

It is wise decision for bollywood actors not to go to hollywood. Irfan khan also did small roles there.

If it is about earning money, that is okay. But they will not get stardom there.

Irrfan a) had a standing amongst global audience even if he wasn't a star like Shah Rukh or someone. He did great many arthouse films/shows their apart from the typical minor roles in blockbusters. He had been a part of the film festival circuit since very early on. b) hollywood producers did not cast him to tap into Indian markets like they do with bollywood stars; he wasn't a star here either.

His roles were also the ones that required serious acting chops. He is from the Soumitra/Om Puri/ Shashi Kapoor category of actors who worked in Hollywood (films).

I agree with what you say but Irrfan's career is not comparable to other actors from Bollywood. Most Bollywood stars would stop getting even minor roles if they lose relavance in Indian markets, I feel.

And your point being? I was just reacting to what Deepika said. Priyanka is another pick me girl and problematic in her own ways; but at least she's smarter than Deepika.

She definitely isn't. Her smartness involves saying one thing in India and another in the US. Her PR must be working overtime to make sure her problematic acts do not get viral on Black Twitter or gen z twitter in general so that her 'woke' image stays intact.

And Deepika did not say anything problematic in this instance, at least. If Wendel Rodericks thought that she was the best thing to come out of the modelling circuit after Aish then she definitely had a career in Paris or London. She probably wouldn't have earned as much or didn't want to face the racism but it's not like she doesn't have what it takes any more or less than PC does.

India is her home. She can choose to stay here if its better for her here. She has kissed her national award tag goodbye in full consciousness. She hasn't yet changed her stances on things to cater to any particular audience lol. She is much less "pick-me" than what she has been in the past and what rest of the industry is lol.

Cannot believe this forum makes me sound like a Deepika supporter.
