Hey RE! I hope you're doing well. :)
I can't speak for others, but here's my view. I'm not trying to belittle movie stars and praise doctors. Both professions are opposite ends of each others, but are both are professions that give you $$$. Also I'm only talking about Manushi in particular. No one else. Now, Manushi is 20 I believe and has already put her foot in the door for seeking a medical profession. I think she's a 3rd year med student. I don't know how the education system works in India for someone who pursues this path. But here in the US its a rigorous course. 4 years undergrad, 4 years grad school/med school, 3 years residency - actually all that really depends on what type of doctor you're going for. But bottom line is that it takes years and years. Now I'm not putting down the other profession (a profession in the entertainment industry). But my point is clearly her interest has been in medicine and she loves helping people. So why change course for Bollywood? She's doing so well in helping the society and she seems to love what she is doing. And she is doing what she is so passionate about. So in regards to that, I would hate for her to leave all of that behind to join Bollywood. She probably has worked her ass off to be where she is now. Both professions will give her the $$$ to survive... there's no question about that. But anyways, at the end of the day it is what she wants to do. I'd just be sad if she chose to quit her medical line to go into Bollywood. Just my personal opinion.
On a side note, none of the former beauty queens have really succeeded much in Bollywood. The closest to succeed would be Aishwarya. But Lara, Dia, Sushmita, etc have not had the best bollywood careers. That doesn't mean Manushi can't break the trend. But just saying...
Also this is just my personal opinion. I don't think we should belittle either profession.
