Preity was popular & probably no.1 from 2002-2004 period Its just that she faded away all of a sudden
Exactly! See also Juhi Chawla- who has done some good work but did not cut it in same way as Madhuri or Sridevi did
Juhi's problem was not her acting capacity. She actually was and is a damned good actor. She was lazy and also chose the most idiotic and regressive of scripts. 🤢
PZ, OTOH, played herself over and over on screen.
Edited by HearMeRoar - 3 years agoShe gave so many great films right from her early phase. Kya Kehna, Soldier, Koi Mil Gaya, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer Zaara.
It's just because she hasn't had that "successful comeback" storyline yet.. as her contemporaries Rani and Ash have had success after getting married and taking short breaks.
But during 2000-2006 she was a megastar and she ruled in 2003/4.
Question was why is she not considered iconic? Not why was she not successful... she clearly was.
PZ didn't have a single breakout role unlike her contemporaries. She played the same manic pixie dream girl in every movie bar KHNH and KANK, both of which were rather silly.
Very short shelf life.... and fizzled all of a sudden... literally before the social media boon.
Hasn't been able to make a successful comeback unlike Rani or Kajol.
She was relevant from 1998 until 2006, so I wouldn't say she had a short shelf life.
She just dropped off completely after 2006. She was a big star from 2000 until 2006.

Not really, she debuted in 2000 and wasn't really well known until 2000 and eventually broke out in 2001 with Chori Chori and Dil Chahta hai... and literally disappeared in 2006.
It has more to do with how she disappeared ALL OF A SUDDEN..

It has more to do with how she disappeared ALL OF A SUDDEN and never had a good comeback.. unlike Kajol who kept coming back with hits... or Rani..
