Raincoat is a box office flop, not because it’s popular amongst fans should be a criteria for ‘juniors’ like Hrithik to watch it. I’m sure he’s watched Devdas and HDDCS and both were Bhansali films. Aish was great too and I’m sure he’d agree on that.
If he dismissed her even after watching her acting then that says a lot about her acting too, doesn’t it? .. IMO, you’re making a big deal of what he said which isn’t even in a demeaning context, well but truth is Hrithik himself is one of the best actors and stars in Bollywood and if he didn’t like Aish’s acting then maybe he has reasons. Personally I don’t like her acting too, her voice is cringe and she shines in subtle roles only.
So in that scale even Aish’s come backs failed, does that mean she’s also a pretty face like madhuri? Madhuri’s come back was after a long gap I believe and her failures doesn’t take away the fact that she was superstar in terms of both box office and onscreen talent, much more than Aishwarya can ever imagine. Madhuri reigned supreme surpassing her male costars, her only competition was the biggest icon Sridevi while Aishwarya fizzled in front of Rani Priety kareena and Priyanka. The former four is more known for their movies when it comes to iconic performances.
Except Hrithik said he never saw her as anything but a talentless beauty until he worked with her personally on Dhoom 2 which means that even seeing Devdas, HDDCS, etc. he had little regard for her as an actress. That is what astounds me and makes me wonder what is wrong with Hrithik! He should have gotten a lobotomy for that gross misjudgment.
No, it doesn't say anything about Aish's acting because Hrithik's opinion was the minority opinion at odds with the world that made Aish a global star. It doesn't make her look bad at all, it makes him look like a ridiculous fool. I have to reassess my opinion of him now and I can see why Aish has not been eager to return to work with him based on his meritless opinion.
I didn't say I think Madhuri is just a beauty and not a good actress, but I was pointing out that just as easily as you dismissed Aish as a pretty face and nothing more, many have done the same with Madhuri if not more. No actress has ever achieved the level of box office success that Madhuri and Sridevi had in the late 80s/90s. If you call out Aish for failing to reach that level, then don't forget that Juhi, Karishma, Kajol, Urmila, Raveena, Shilpa, Rani, Preity, Aish, Ameesha, Bipasha, Lara, Priyanka, Kareena, Katrina, Vidya, Deepika, Anushka, Parineeti, Alia, etc. must be equally blamed and faulted. Don't single out just Aish.
Aish did not fizzle out. She was unfairly blacklisted by the three Khans and the Chopras and Johars followed suit. Many of the roles that Rani and Preity got were meant for Aish until she was fired. She was the original choice for Darr, K3G, Chalte Chalte, Veer-Zaara, Dostana, etc. Kareena thought she could do an audition in full costume for Bhansali to win Devdas and he only humored her before sending her away. She couldn't even steal away Devdas in Aish's prime, not even with Karishma helping her and the Kapoor family name. Even now, Aish is the most in-demand actress out of those four you mentioned. Padmaavat, Happy New Year, and Jawan were just some films offered to her first and I've posted articles in prior posts about how the industry was jumping for the chance to come up with a script to reunite SRK and Aish onscreen. There is no demand for Priyanka or Kareena to do that.
