There was time not long ago when names like Meena Kumari, Nutan, Waheeda Rehman, Nargis, Vyjantimala and Madhubala graced the silver screen.The audiences cried with them in their hardships and celebrated when they were happy.
And then times changed....
In came the new lot and the same audience now laughs when they perform any heavy duty emotional scene and cry when they attempt comedies.
The numero-uno spot goes to Madam Aishwarya Rai...
The lady has given a whole new meaning to the term METHOD ACTING.
Everything she does has to be perfect.So in any scene where she has to smile or laugh she makes sure that there are only two crinkles on the bridge of her nose(naa ek zyaada, naa ek kamm), only six of her pearly white teeth show(naa ek zyaada, naa ek kamm), her head tilts exactly 27.671 degrees to the right.
When she has to look exasperated, she makes sure that she rolls up her eyes in such a way that only 13.527%of her eyeballs are visible.Similarly, when she has to do a simple ’’namaste’in a scene, she makes sure that both her hands flay 2 and 3/4 times in the air before coming together.Whenever she dances, she has to be the best...like when she did’’Dola re dola...’’from Devdas with Madhuri Dixit.She just had to make sure that her ’’kamar’’ matko-ed atleast 6.729 inches more than Madhuri’s.
Hema Malini looks like a million dollars even now but alas, one can’t say the same about her daughter Ms. Esha Deol!! Really, she has neither the talent nor the looks to be in movies but she is still going strong.She was a total fiasco in her first movie and sadly has remained so even after 2 years.
If Ram Gopal Varma is so besotted by Antara Mali, why doesn’t he get married to her and spare us from the torture??!!The less said about this lady, the better.Giving 63 million expressions per minute is her idea of good acting.Agreed, she has a good body, but what about looks and talent??I hope that one day soon, RGV will follow his heart and get married to her and never allow her to be seen on the silver screen again!!My fingers are crossed...what about yours??
Next on my list is one bimbo called Mallika Sherawat. Just two movies old and she thinks she has become bigger than Sridevi & Madhuri put together. I’ve had the misfortune of watching both Khwahish and Murder.What’s so great about her anyway?? Her voice and diction are awful and her acting...least said the better!!If you listen to her interviews even for two minutes, you’ll realise that your five year old has more brains.
Last but not the least is the gang for whom acting means taking off your clothes, the more you take off, the better you are.The likes of Shamita Shetty, Aarti Somebody, Riya Sen, Rimi Sen, Kim Sharma, Amrita Arora, Neha Dhupia, Meghna Naidu, and zillion others fall under this category.
The worst part is that each of the above mentioned ladies think they are the next super-stars and the best thing to have happened to Bollywood!!
