Being 'overrated' does not mean people are calling you a bad actress. She is good, definitely has potential, but overrated because no matter how ordinarily she acts, she gets awarded and praised to the skies (e.g. K3G, MNIK - especially this!).
Her melodramatic acting style was in sync with the 90s. People forget how loud and ott the acting used to be back in the days, even in Hollywood. I remember watching Gone with the Wind and getting second hand embarrassment from Vivian Leigh's ott acting, but that was considered normal acting back in the day.
Also never strayed from her comfort zone, never worked with actually good directors like Mani Ratnam, SLB who could have extracted a good performance from hers. She kept on working with these same movies/directors and roles for most of her career.
