    Thread is about Bollywood and Indian regional language movies.

    There are actors and actresses who in spite of being talented got only few good movies.

    Any favorites among such actors? Why did they not get more movies, better movies?

    Smita Patil. Had she been alive, she would be 65 now. Passed away at 31 in 1986. She was active in movies for only about 12 years but managed to shine in both commercial as well as "art" films. I wish we had more movies of her to watch. In particular, movies about the urban Indian wife and mother.

    I wonder how her sensuous beauty would have evolved in her thirties and forties.

    I feel mostly everyone got their due...once they had their break.

    However..the struggles they faced to get that break might be different.

    I can however name actors who don’t deserve what they had got:)

    Akshaye Khanna. A star son. A skilled actor. Has given us memorable movies like Border, Dil Chahta Hai, and Race. More recently, he starred as a talented, senior criminal barrister in Section 375. The movie examines the definition of "consent" from a woman.

    He is only 45 years old. Maybe we will see more good movies starring him.

    Divya Bharti, who passed away under mysterious and tragic circumstances at only age 19.
    Bhaghyashree had a major breakout role in Maine Pyaar Kiya abut quit films to get married.
    Meenakshi Seshadri could never recapture the glory of her Hero performance.
    Sanjana Kapoor, daughter of Shashi and Jennifer. A fine actress but her Western looks didn’t suit Bollywood.
    Neelam Kothari and Manisha Koirala also did not achieve their full potential.
    Aravind Swamy faded out prematurely.

    Ok the fans of these actors forgive me..:)

    1) Trisha krishan- mentioned it in the other thread.

    2) Kareena kapoor - she used to overact so much but she got so many chances to improve her skills,a role like jab we met which suited her overacting and so on.

    3) Abhishek Bachan- he may not be a hit but he had few hits and kept getting so many chances.

    4) Alia bhatt- never liked her but she is the best amongst the rest who are worst.

    5) Katrina kaif- Glamour apart what else has she got to offer to have that superstardom she got?


    Plus Too many products of nepotism have got a lot more than they deserved.

    Are there even any self-made actors in Bollywood these days? Everyone seems to be a star offspring.

    And could not recapture the strong performance in Damini. Seen here with her Damini co-star Rishi Kapoor:

    Many would have got this as a forward saying "Guess who is the actress?" :smile:
