DISAGREE: these people do have talent Kareena - I disagree. She may be arrogant and over the top, but the girl does have talent. What about Omkara, where she played Desdemona to the T. And Govind Nihalani's Dev. The girl definitely has acting in her blood.
Aishwarya- She's in this industry because of her drop-dead beauty and business-savvy mind. She is more of a good student than a natural actress; when the director is good, she becomes good. She can't act if her environment isn't stimulating.
Rani - Come on, she CAN act. Saathiya and Paheli stand proof (and even KANK, though the movie was lousy).
See just because actors are glamorous and popular doesn't mean by default they don't have acting talent. That too is a form of prejudice. I agree some of them are just popularity, but some of them do have talent too.
Amithabhji: are you kidding me??? He's a godfather, but a deserved godfather.
AGREE: - Deepika: frozen face, like a statue. Great model material, not sure about acting. But then again, she has done only one film, we may need to see more to judge.
- Ajay Devgan. See, this guy has thrived on a kind of 'reverse prejudice'; just like people say 'great looks, but can't act', here they seem to think 'average looks, so must be a great actor'. I am frankly a bit tired of actors who pull serious expressions all the time, act in violent movies and expect to be called art cinema heroes. He has done some great roles such as in Omkara, but he

In omkara, she could hav pull tht character very easily, as her charactr ws naive and submissive. But she only got the naivity of her character right, not being submissive.
Vishal could have done a better job in sketching her character, instead of just putting just glycerine and making tht performance the only worthy acting to fetch her critcs award.
Only in chameli, did kareena get into the character but otherwise all movies including dev,omkara ws just ordinary.
