Statistically speaking, this has no significance at all. You need to randomize, take different people from different areas, do more randomizations, etc etc. A sample of 5 people is not enough but I understand that you didn't aim for this to be a national survey or anything. On the contrary, a Mexican friend of mine saw Bride and Prejudice and called and told me Aishwarya Rai was the most beautiful woman in the world.

I think both of them are gorgeous! But I hate when people compare them. And I really don't like it when people say Aishwarya isn't beautiful. I mean, it's okay to not like her personality, judge her acting etc. But how is she not good looking? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but even if you take away the light skin and blue-green eyes and give her an "Indian" tone and black-brown eyes, it's her facial symmetry and her features that make her look beautiful.

i think both are beautiful! But some of my white friends find Ash exceedingly beautiful even more so than angelina....it's all objective and ppl find different ppl beautiful!!! I liked what SRK said Mads is a "classical beauty" and Ash is an "eternal beauty" and "since it's the same thing...I'm safe!"LOL!!!!!

No he said Madh was a timeless beauty and Aish was an eternal beauty - which is the same and he's safe lol 😆 Witty SRK....
The thing is Madhuri more looks like "typed" than Aish...Aish is fair and has blue eyes - nothing extraordinary for western people -- even if they think she's beautiful - but it's not like they don't know & see everyday people who have blue eyes and have a light skin 🥱 That's common in itself. I know myself a lot of people who are tanned and who have light eyes or are fair with light eyes too. And I live in the caribbean and NO ONE makes a fuss about light eyes or fair skin - not officially at least 🥱
Madhuri is brown haired and brown eyed --- and she has a very appealing smile - so perhaps in your co workers's mind she fits in the "exotic -- indian" category more than Aish --- so they find her more beautiful on that basis - but believe me -- white people too are fascinated by Aish 's beauty because she looks at the same time western & EXOTIC ---
As for Frieda - she's not the prettiest girl in the world - but she has that soft charm, that frele structure body, poetry in her eyes and that mystic light in her face (well filmed in SM) that the western people like seeing in some of their fave actresses (like Audrey Tautou - Marion Cotillard - Ashley Judd - Maria Medeiros-Uma Thruman)
Funny you created that post - cause a french black humorist was saying recently in one of his show - why can't french actresses be as beautiful as indian ones??? lol ANd he was describing indian actresses like this : green eyes, light hair with a peach complexion - yeah right lol😆😆😆😆 I guess he had seen dEVDAS and was describing Aish lol😆

To me Aishwarya looked breathtakingly beautiful in Devdas... even Madhuri looked beautiful. But Ash played Paro's character magnificently.

In Devdas IMO Aishwarya looked beautiful as the young head strong Paro and Madhuri looked stunning as the older courtesan. Their brand of beauty fit the charactersthey played very well.

There are so many talented and beautiful actresses in India. It's unfortunate that only Freida and Ash got the opportunity to go international. Given a chance, I guess the likes of Madhuri would have made it big in the west. But during their era, Bollywood films weren't that great (with a few exceptions of course) and they (Bollywood movies) certainly did not receive the same acclaim and attention that they receive now from other parts of the world.
Same goes for the actors.

As for who is more beautiful...pfffft. Did we not go through it for the hundredth time? Beauty is very subjective and it does lie in the eyes of the beholder. So this discussion is getting tedious. And no, [physical] features don't make one look any better than the other, as had been proven numerous figures in the past, most namely Angelina Jolie. She doesn't have the most perfect features and yet her face has that mystique rawness which makes her the most beautiful woman in the world...ever. Even at the age of 35, she hasn't lost any of her charm/beauty, and I daresay she'd never loose it cause her beauty doesn't just lie on her facial features/structure but rather by the way she carries herself.

Ooops, seems like I am going off topic. Will stop here. 😆

Well beauty is subjective, therefore each and everyone of us has his/her own perception of it.
Both women are beautiful in their own way but I can understand why they must have taken a liking for Madhuri. She has this amazing smile that lights up the screen and she speaks through her eyes. She's a beauty for sure.
