Bollywoods obsession with beauty irks me: Konkona Sen Sharma - Page 7

This topic is digressing. I think Konkona made a valid point, about actresses in their 30's not being accepted and about fairer-skinned heroines getting more leeway.

Konkona never said that she isn't getting roles or she isn't happy with the roles she is getting. Did she?? She just made a general comment which is true for most actresses with average looks. Konkona is the luckiest one in her lot. Look at her careergraph- the characters she has played- only a fool can say that she said this out of frustration. Not just critical acclaim but commercial success too. Her bengali film- Goynar Baksho- was probably the most successful commercial bengali film in 2013 and she isn't out of work either. Talvar is her 3rd/4th film in 2015. If not bollywood, then in regional films she is doing good work and getting paid well too.

There will always be dumb ppl who like dumb actresses and smart ppkl who like talent and skills rather than Barbie doll features.

I agree with her. Too bad that women are written off once they reach 30s or so. It's not the same case in Hollywood though. Hopefully people's perception and attitude will change in future

Koko doesn't hide her spot/pimples with layer of make ups . She is what you see unlike so called fashionistas of bollywood

And she does not badmouth actresses who decide to concentrate on their craft rather than being a fake fashionista hiding under 346899 layers of make up!

One thing one must visit this forum once , bcoz each fandom expose other star who sell us illusion. 😆 regarding rest I like konkana as actress but the market which guide us may be don't agree .

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...

Who has time to go into her looks when she blows you out with her acting A true successor to Tabu in BW .. It's not just the director, sometimes you can just see her subtle inputs brought to the character/expressions which awes you.. Absolutely REGAL as an actress..
