<p>Has Any One Heard Of This South Asian Actress…</p>

<p>Whats The Big Deal About Her?</p>

2

<p>She’s sexy.</p>

3

<p>never heard of her…</p>

4

<p>HUGE Bollywood star.</p>

5

<p>and ‘Bollywood’ is…?</p>

6

<p>Bollywood is the Indian version of Hollywood. And Aishwarya Rai is like the queen of Bollywood. She’s like the greatest actoress that they have. One of the greatest.</p>

7

<p>60 Minutes did a piece on her about a year ago. IMHO she came off as silly and superficial but she does have a certain beauty.</p>

8

<p>She was lovely in Bride and Prejudice a movie directed by Garinda Chada (Bend It Like Beckham ). She is ocnsidered the most beautiful woman in the world.</p>

<p>Her beauty is AMAZING, especially compared to the artificial ‘surgeon’s cut’ beauty that is on display in the US at the moment.</p>

9

<p>so this woman is known for her beauty not for her acting skills…eh.
I presume you guys are South Asian.</p>

<p>“She is ocnsidered the most beautiful woman in the world.”
there are billions of people in Asia, especially South Asia.
so, its easy for her to get votes.</p>

10

<p>Haha. I am not South Asian, hon and I am not a guy. Women have been known for their beauty since the beginning of time.</p>

<p>Meryl Streep, she’s not, but she has been written up as the most beautiful woman by the western press too.</p>

11

<p>I am also an American woman- and think Ms Rai is very talented as well as very beautiful
The indian movie industry is actually much bigger than Hollywood.</p>

<p>While I did really enjoy Bride and Prejudice and saw it twice in a theatre,( Loved Mr Kohli!)it wasn’t really * Bollywood*</p>

<p>If you are interested in Indian films- I would highly recommend * Laagan* an wonderful film that was nominated for an Oscar.

<p>Lagaan is actually good. Indian movies these days are real crap about 99% of the time (compared to 98.9% for Hollywood). Lagaan stands out as a good entertaining movie to watch.</p>

13

<p>bollywood isn’t exactly indian cinema, its just a part of it.
bollywood is ‘hindi cinema’.</p>

14

<p>I realize that all Indian cinema isn’t represented by “bollywood”
I made the distinction because while some people may be more familar with Bollywood musicals- Bride and Prejudice is more of a Hollywood style musical incorportating Bollywood elements

<p>“Bollywood is the Indian version of Hollywood. And Aishwarya Rai is like the queen of Bollywood. She’s like the greatest actoress that they have. One of the greatest.”</p>

<p>soemone is severely misguided.</p>

<p>The “queens” of Bollywood are Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta at the moment. Kajol is a former queen. Aishwariya has never been a queen. Her acting is pathetic. She’s known as Miss Universe,that’s all. She has never been renowned as a queen of Bollywood in any fashion. Bollywood has some VERY talented actresses. See Black with Rani Mukherjee.</p>

<p>Aish is pretty but that’s about it.</p>
