Trisha "the Peter Actress" as we call in Madras Bashai, she vuttufies Peter all the time ð
I don't know if I said this already, may be not..
When Trisha was probably in her early teens I have seen her with her Mom Uma Krishnan in the swim club, where a bunch of us learnt swimming. She used to come there after school. Her Mom Uma was my boss's classmate and being a busy body that she is, her Mom would talk to us when we take our break. The mom used to have loads of make-up on her all the time, even in the sweltering sun, by the pool ð
Anyway, I've seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears that Trisha could speak proper Brahmin Tamil with a Palakkad accent, to her Mom. No.. not the one with English accent ð
Anyway, I would have never ever, ever, ever believed if someone had told me then, that the skinny girl with absolutely no looks would become a very popular star. None of my friends in the swim class would've believed it either!
For that matter, I would't believe any one who grew up in Madras coming from a Tamil family, if they said that they don't know Tamil. I had a number of friends, who only spoke Marwari, Gujarati, Sindhi, Marathi or whatever language at home and spoke Tamil like a Chennaiite at school. There were quite a number of girls from Church Park (where Trisha went to school) who moved to my school for their grades 11 & 12 and quite a few of them were stinking rich "Elite" kids, who spoke various different languages at home including English (the Anglo Indians). And almost all of them, can speak tamil quite well, believe it or not.
So, this Trisha faking her Tamil saying that she went to Church Park convent and every one spoke only English there, is getting so old on me. This probably is the reason, why I even dislike her so much. I mean, where is all this faking going to get her.. all her lies about not knowing Tamil. Some one has to tell her it is not the "in" thing, right now, what with actresses from Bombay and Kerala speaking, if not trying to speak Tamil right, left and center.
May be some one warned her about it, and quite recently in the Kalaignar TV interview, one could see that she used more tamil words (than English) in her Tamil interview.
But for Ms.Chennai.. it's a pity that the questions are all in English and the answers are expected in English too. I really doubt that the Q&A are in Tamil. That's why one can see people who know only a few words in Tamil, coming from cities like Hyderabad / Bangalore winning the title. I think the pre-requisite for contestants is that their current residence should be in Tamilnadu. And therefore, most girls from other states, just move to Madras for the time being to compete. Well.. only b'cos winning such titles is like a stepping stone into Tamil cinema.
A quiz - do any of you guys know which other actress won Ms.Chennai but is still struggling to make it big in Kolly ?
