Being comfortable with the director comment was more embarrassing for the industry than for Deepika. It just shows how egoistic BW people (directors/producers/heroes) are.

It's generous of them they helped raise money for this fest, they are promoting the fest by attending it. I'm sure the employees of "Brand Deepika" are spending busy day publicizing more about the fest than this ---> Deepika And Catherine Deneuve Had High Tea After Sharing A Stage Together/ Deneuve Loved Angie of Finding Fanny/ Deneuve asked What's The Color of Deepika's Lipstick.

Yeah, I hate that even baby Varun (nothing against him) is already able to "choose" his costars, like really?😵

LOL..India's Angelia Jolie? 😆 Not surprising that they chose Deepika..If Katrina was reigning now, they'd have called her instead..Who cares about their acting credentials & filmography 😆



Even if they'd call Katrina, she would have declined as she knows that she is strictly commercial and that she doesn't have the extensive knowledge of international films to have a proper discussion with Catherine D... Deepika should have realized that before she accepted.

A person from a theater background or somebody who does understand the art of filmmaking would have been better. Just having Aishwarya would have been so much better...since she has done many international and regional films so knows one or two things about global films. Or Irfan Khan.

And as sb mentioned, Anu Chopra is a wannabe critic. She forces british accent and expects to see great art in mainstream Bollywood movies.

Who is Catherine Denevue for a normal people of India?
The aim of this festival, if you remember, is to make it popular.
Wasn't this festival not happening this year just because the art actors were dominating it except Big B who made it a point to attend.
Calling Shabana Azami or Huma Kureshi will not have created an impact in eople's mind as did when Deepika, Ranbir or Imran, Varun waled the red carpet. Look we all are discussing it.
And Indians has this mentality of putting white/fair skin always on higher pedestal than their own people. So Catherine is no match for our young brigade.😕

But if, Ranbir was asked to talk with Robert Deniro then it is the perfect match. This again shows that certain social issues stems even in the minds of women.

I say why not this young brigade take over the reins of cinema. 😊 anusha, Priyanka, Parineeti and all should represent our BW because that what it is today.

Which movie has Shabana Azami acted in recent times that has created a buzz or won awards?

areeyyy yaar manjau ki dpad isn't intelligent enough to talk films outside of Bollywood. It's clear by her 15 words vocabulary (including 'ya' and 'i would love to do that').

Oh btw, Shabana has won the highest number of National Awards. But sure, if you'd like some dumb bimbo to represent India, then sure. It's a free country.

So only your current credentials matter? Your past achievements are irrelevant? So an actress who has a Filmfare award this year is greater than an actress who has won innumerable NAs in the past? 😆 And please, its not about fair skin obsession..If someone says Catherine is million times the actress Deepika can ever be, it doesn't mean they are obsessed with fair skin 😕 What sort of logic is that? And regarding your Ranbir-Robert Di Niro comparison, i have the same opinion..You shouldn't even compare the two..So that again means am obsessed with fair skin? 😆 When you have a discussion on cinema, art of film making, the technicalities etc. etc & you invite someone of Deneuve's caliber, the other party should atleast be qualified & articulate enough to discuss the same..They could have had a separate discussion with Ranbir, Deepika & the likes cos they need commercially successful stars to publicize the event..Otherwise you should be prepared enough to become the butt of all jokes 😆

Why are the Venice and Cannes festivals covered globally. Coz of the people who attend and the movie premieres. A "normal" person might not know who she is, but it helps the festival make inroads internationally. That's the aim isn't it.
It is not about the white skin mentality. It is about a better actor mentality. It is about someone who knows the craft well enough to talk about it.
What social issues.most of us wanted kalki or vidya or azmi to attend. They are all women. Balki they should attend the talk with De niro also(if/when). Why can't a girl take on a guy?

Fine not azmi. If kalki attended she'd have spoken about margarita. Or skeleton women. About the blue room. About how theatre in London is different from theatre in india. She's studied drama. She'd have rocked this and how. 😳

Also this is about the organisers and how they faltered. Deepika did the best she could. Just that others would have been better.
