Aish and Deepika get compared a lot and I'm seeing more and more of the similarities. Not just in being Bhansali's muses but also in terms of stardom and having a very unique and striking look that intimidates their contemporaries. I feel in terms of current actresses who came closest to capturing the popularity that Sridevi and Madhuri had back in the 80s/90s, it would be Aishwarya and Deepika especially as global icons with international reach. Even in terms of the hate they receive, it's very similar and usually because of those who feel they can't capture their goddess image.
Yes. And a lot of people who work/closely associated with BW, say that Ash was the Dream Girl in the 90s & early 2000s, and DP is the Dream Girl of the 2010s & now, esp before her marriage. All men wanted to be with them & all women hated them lol. Anushka makes no bones of the fact that she hates DP! Loool. She’s also spoken about how much attention DP used to get when she used to come to college (DP was already a model back then) they went to Mount Carmel, Bangalore, many years ago. How she felt shortchanged etc & how its a known B’lore thing that DP with her beauty & talent + being PP’s daughter, got tonnes of attention. Totally Obvious she was extremely jealous of DP. So is Sonam who also doesn’t really mask that she can’t stand DP lol. RK did dump her to be with DP. lol.
