Her natural acting makes up for anything she is missing looks!

She could overshadow MD in Aaja nachle with her unglamorous role so you can imagine what a fine actress she is!

Why just Bollywood? If people spot a brown actress with no makeup then she's called ugly. Only Kareena, Katrina, Shradha are considered beautiful with no makeup.

well vidya is still a good actress but she cant get a hit now aftre marriage ...vidya is not bad looking either..u dnt have to be barbie actress to look beautiful

we want to watch movies of juhi, karishma,mads etc but when they come out with their movies, do we flock at the theatres? if so then why did madhuri,juhi, rani..all fails...they may get critical acclaim but the buisness is not that great like the others...people want to see young actresses, its a truth...this forum may be an exception but thats the reality in india ( i am talking about majority)

even in hollywood most of the old actress maintains thmselves so well...look at jennifer anniston, anjie..and others..most of them have stunning figures.(well hollywood is little differnt though.people there accept great actors over beautiful chaps so may be comparison is not so apt)...this is visual medium,,u have to look good along with being a good actor probably but since in india actress oriented films are not so popular so beauty is a must for them...even when people make actress oriented movies ,actresses need to have that charm and good looks...

and about scripts , yes i agree our indian writers lack something or may be they just dnt want to work hard for ugly looking actresses, that u can say..even if they come up with good scripts their first choices are always the actresses who are good looking and thats something which is really bad

about sridevi, well sometimes it works...puli failed right? why? konkana also succeded in wake up sid ..and mr and mrs iyer... but is she a popular and bankable star? no...

and the audience u r talking about is a minority...these actress oriented films mainly survives because of multiplexes..

and if u ask my opinion, i would like to see older actresses with the older heroes..definately. but then all dnt think like that way..if u look at people of backward classes they wont go to watch film of older actresses..they will go for deepika, katrina.etc. and our country consist of mainly these people. so producers always tends to think of that way
