Too bad it is bollywood's lost not hers....Why is skin color so important....They say even Lord Krishna was not fair...As long as features are sharp and look beautiful color should not matter when it comes to being actor-actress.....Age should not matter.....In case of Female dancers if they continue their dancing they don't gain that much weight and remain in better shape....I have an aunt who is 64 and she is trained bharat natyam dancer and still she can dance....Her 3 daughters are trained bharat natyam dancers....Their Arangetram was so stupendous....Best ones I have seen so far in So. Cal....None of those Nakul mahajan bollywood dancers can compete with 2 of my cousins...😃👏👏Yeah Bhanupriya did look Telugu to me...didn't want to guess & ask...I have become little more knowledgable abt 4 diff southern states....Trust me that is thanks to forums and friends of last almost 4 yrs....😃Thanks for sharing additional info on Shobhana and Vineeth...I am checking out those links....Watched 2 so far...I was impressed with Vineeth from"Ami je tomar" song and now watching him dance I am his fan....Loved his posture and dancing....They both are amazing...I will add more once I get done watching all.....Thanks a million to all who shared their knowledge....Appreciate it....😃
Di, your picks are often exactly like mine, when it comes to music and dance - so there is a little mallu in you when it comes to talent! 😉 Please Di, take it as a big compliment, as I know how mallus are when it comes to talent - they dont care about looks or religion or background and will always boost the real talent without discrimination... They will always go for the best in the lot.
Actually Shobana is an excellent dancer - she is a little Padmini in looks too! She is running a dance school in Chennai and choreographs a lot of new dances for her students to perform on stage - she is a true devotee to dance. None of the actresses in the remakes of her Manichitrathazhu role come anywhere near her act - even they themselves have said that they couldnt do it as well as she did.. And you know what, she choreographed the last dance herself!! The character is not a dancer in real life, but gets carried away as being possessed by a Tamil dancer's soul from early century - so if you watch it, you can see that when she is doing the dance as the character, she is not doing good, but when she is visualizing it as a dream or imagination, she excels in it... Here's the link of her same dance in the original mallu movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk8yDEG7Mk4
Terence reminds me of Vineeth at times - he always looked like a teenager boy even in his 30s, same as Terence. Maybe that both are superb dancers, and they enjoy it so much, it keeps them young... 😃
Yes, Di, me and my cousins used to say the same, that it's Bollywood's loss to lose an actress like Bhanupriya - a bunch of them from South made it because of both talent and looks - Hemamalini, Rekha, Sridevi, Jayapradha, Meenakshi, etc to now Asin and Vidya. Bhanupriya has the looks - she is so pretty, but it's sad when beauty is measured based on skin colour. But the good thing is that because of that, she went for mallu-tamil-telugu films and wow, what a talent she is! Not only her, even Hemamalini dances so well even at this age - in fact I think she is way better than her two daughters on stage... 😊 BTW, she used to live in your area for a few years with her husband and child...
