Approach taken to stardom needs to be evaluated

Reading this story on Mallika Sherawat - 'Assets' dont really work always, Mallika!, I should say that Mallika must be feeling the heat about no one in the world, considering her to be a serious actress; but viewing her as siren.

Few months ago, I did hear about Anna Nicole Smith crying out loud, to the audience at some award ceremony, to take her seriously and not view her as a gold digger or a Bimbo.

There have been actresses in the Indian Film World - Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Sharmila Tagore, Waheeda Rehman, Shabana Azmi, Smita Patel etc who may have been forced to flaunt their feminine qualities (in the bad perspective) in a movie or two. But overall, these actresses command respect in the eyes of the public. Even Helen of yesteryears is respected.

The point is that, there will always be directors and the masses that will show you the fastest path to stardom and money. But at the end of the day, your character and talent is what counts. Take notice, Bipasha, Mallika and others. In 20 years time, nobody will care about you. You are waste!. You will ponder over your approach, with gray hair.
