Firstly, I wasn't comparing tabu and kareena (kareena is no tabu...she has a long way to go).. my reason for bringing in tabu as an example is that i wanted to show that popular awards are no measure of an actresses's capability or achievement. It is the acclaim and appreciation one receives (both from the box office and critics) which counts, and i think kareena has garnered quite a lot of that. She has been succesfull commercially (3 Idiots, Jab we met, KI (i kno its crap but it was a Hit)) and critically (Omkara, jab we met, kurbaan and to an extent 3 Idiots)...she has also won popular actress awards @ star screen and stardust. So i think kareena, just like kajol, has achieved on both fronts. I never denied that Kajol is successful. My point is, so is kareena.
as for who the better actor is, that is ones own personal choice. I prefer kareena, u prefer kajol, thats fine. But please dont bring in the amaturish arguments abt actors personal lives. Who they date, and how many controversies they are a part of, dosent have anything to do with their talent/acting skills. It may have to do with popularity, but as far as i know, most of the people started hating kareena for all the controversies and the "saifeena" factor, with her being painted in a negative light for leaving shahid. But that still hasn't tarnished her popularity one bit. Perople still throng to the cinemas to watch her muvies and she is still getting offers from acclaimed directors. Dosen't that speak ounces of her talent and charisma as a female star actor?
