You do know what he/she means, so why all this straw clutching😆

Average actress, no nepo connections, nothing that really stood out about her (looks didn't count as there were quite a few really beautiful actresses in mainstream bwood at the time).

Because I find your post quite funny😆, not that you are being funny, but your reaction to defend Lara as funny.

She wasn't really pretty. She had a great body but the face was okay. She also wasn't a good actress. That would've been okay because around the time she came, Bollywood had all these new people who were all weird actors in my opinion. PC used to be really cringe-worthy, Kareena was overacting ki dukaan, Amisha was the hyperventilating queen, Esha couldn't act, Bipasha was also a bad actress but she was hot. Rimi Sen was doing every other rom-com. Malika Sherawat was also around along with bunch of other smaller actresses like Amrita Arora, Payal Rohatgi, Tara Sharma, Riya Sen...I know I am forgetting a bunch. Bhumika had entered the scene from south and struggling. Rani, Aish and Preity were still around but they took up almost all of the big, important movies so that didn't leave any good roles for the newer lot. So it was a tough time to make it. Very few of them had decent roles. The ones who did succeed from early to mid 2000 didn't make it big around that time. They found better movies way down the line.

Also early to mid 2000 was very pair centric in my opinion. You didn't make it out alone, you were part of a pair people liked seeing. Hrithik/Amisha, Hrithik/Kareena. Shahid/Amrita. Akshay/PC and then Akshay/Kat. John/Dino and John/Bipasha. Rani/SRK, Rani/Abhishek, Preity/SRK, Preity/Saif, Tusshar/Kareena and Esha/Tusshar. Lara didn't have someone. Her and Akshay didn't click with the audience and neither did her pair with King Bobby. I think she would've had better luck with the audience if she was in a jodi that people found memorable.

I will always prefer her over Priyanka.

She will always remains my favorite of her generation

Well I'm glad I brought some joy to your life

She was horrendous in Don 2! PC evolved and grew into a really good actress, whereas she just didn't grow

Lara was so beautiful in her first movie and she did good, not sure why they had another person dubbed for her. I heard there was dubbing. Her pc and akki did a great job on the movie, loved it

Loved her chemistry with Salman in Partner and Anil in No Entry.
