What are some of the biggest backstabbings in Bollywood? For me, it’s Aishwarya Rai & Mahima Chaudhry. Ash did 2 TV ads with Mahima.Then Ash snatched Taal from Mahima behind her back without telling her. Ash's betrayal destroyed Mahima's career & ruined her life as Ghai banned Mahima from Bollywood.
What do you think of Sumangaly Ariyanayagam criticizing Peddi makers for objectifying Janhvi Kapoor? Janhvi is a grown woman who chose the film and was paid for it. Framing this as filmmakers imposing the male gaze ignores the actress’s choice to participate in commercial cinema and profit from it.
Karisma Kapoor recalls Salman Khan’s legendary generosity: “Salman would arrange a big buffet outside his vanity van for the entire team including cast and crew of the movies. It was a lavish spread of delicacies. No one went hungry on his sets, he always made sure everyone was happy and well-fed.”
In 2009, something unpleasant happened to Sonam Kapoor. The beautiful hand behind it was of Aishwarya Rai. Cannes is critical to Rai’s relevance. She has always been the Mistress of Flops. Other Indian actresses going to Cannes is worrisome for Rai, as she has no career beyond the Cannes red carpet.
Vidya Balan is beautiful, has a nice screen presence, versatile acting talent, and distinct fashion sense. What do you love most about her? And what’s your favourite movie or role?
