Every girl who is not obsessed with costly make up, designer clothes/shoes/watch, thin body is considered ugly for some people (in IF as well).
Unfortunate but sad truth of present age..

Everyone doesn't have to be Katrina and thank God every actress is not Katrina. Whatever Konkona has achieved with a certain body type and certain skin color in a prejudice society like us is no mean feat. So kudos to her.

Her natural acting makes up for anything she is missing looks!

She could overshadow MD in Aaja nachle with her unglamorous role so you can imagine what a fine actress she is!


She overshadowed both Madhuri and Kareena with her acting prowess 😆 most talented star kid ever

Why just Bollywood? If people spot a brown actress with no makeup then she's called ugly. Only Kareena, Katrina, Shradha are considered beautiful with no makeup.


That happens in this forum specially If the actress is NOT their favourite!😆

well vidya is still a good actress but she cant get a hit now aftre marriage ...vidya is not bad looking either..u dnt have to be barbie actress to look beautiful


we want to watch movies of juhi, karishma,mads etc but when they come out with their movies, do we flock at the theatres? if so then why did madhuri,juhi, rani..all fails...they may get critical acclaim but the buisness is not that great like the others...people want to see young actresses, its a truth...this forum may be an exception but thats the reality in india ( i am talking about majority)

even in hollywood most of the old actress maintains thmselves so well...look at jennifer anniston, anjie..and others..most of them have stunning figures.(well hollywood is little differnt though.people there accept great actors over beautiful chaps so may be comparison is not so apt)...this is visual medium,,u have to look good along with being a good actor probably but since in india actress oriented films are not so popular so beauty is a must for them...even when people make actress oriented movies ,actresses need to have that charm and good looks...

and about scripts , yes i agree our indian writers lack something or may be they just dnt want to work hard for ugly looking actresses, that u can say..even if they come up with good scripts their first choices are always the actresses who are good looking and thats something which is really bad

about sridevi, well sometimes it works...puli failed right? why? konkana also succeded in wake up sid ..and mr and mrs iyer... but is she a popular and bankable star? no...

and the audience u r talking about is a minority...these actress oriented films mainly survives because of multiplexes..

and if u ask my opinion, i would like to see older actresses with the older heroes..definately. but then all dnt think like that way..if u look at people of backward classes they wont go to watch film of older actresses..they will go for deepika, katrina.etc. and our country consist of mainly these people. so producers always tends to think of that way


Vidya not getting good roles after marriage is part of the same problem, just because shes a married woman now producers think she wont appeal to the masses.

Its actually the disgusting producers who are to blame, they take actresses who can reveal their bodies, do item dances and be show pieces in crappy movies.

Only a few producers take risks with talented actresses and they do make money most of the time, in fact they often do better business than many utterly flop commercial movies.

Mardaani did good business, was a semi hit! Kajol is returning with Dilwale, she did get a warm welcome back after marriage and motherhood, in My Name is Khan.
So its not the audiences, its the fault of the producers and directors and often the heros themselves who want young girls opposite them. 🤢

And why shd the producers only cater to the backward classes and small towns? Dont multiplex audiences matter? They also bring in crowds.
Anyway, Konkona is pretty in an unconventional way, and shes a damn good actress so she shd definitely get more roles..

Exactly! That is the difference! She doesnt hide her actual skin color under cakes of makeup, we see her as she is mostly.
