I think Kareena is at such a position today
that she can demand and get any role, well she can create a role for herself
and get her boyfriend to produce it for her, but instead what she is doing is
doing show piece roles in all her movies, Body guard (Salman Khan) Ra. One
(Shahrukh Khan) 3 Idiots (Amir Khan) and being happy that she has worked with
all the Khans, never thinking and wondering what exactly is she doing in all
such movies, except being an eye candy.
At the same time take Vidya Balan, every
role that she has chosen has been risqué, but female oriented, strong female
character. She is taking her name to history books of cinema. Whatever role she
does that character becomes synonymous with her be it Parineeta, Ishquiya, Pa
or the recent dirty picture now. She is making sure that when tomorrow anybody
talks about the cinema of yesteryears, her name should pop up all the time.
While even if tomorrow anybody decides to speak about 3 idiots they will only
speak about Amir and other heroes of all Karina movies.
Karina is only doing replaceable roles, if
she didn’t do the Bodyguard, Katrina would or even Neha Dhupia, whats her value
addition in those male dominated movies?
Whchever profession you are in, its for
your own sake, you need to keep pushing the envelope or risk being obliterated
from public memory as soon as you stop working. Sadly the shelf life of
Bollywood heroines is even smaller.
