Out of curiosity can I ask WHY some sectors of Bollywood tumblr don’t like Katrina Kaif? She seems cool so I’m just wondering

This needs to be answered in some detail and I shall do so. You’ve woken the dragon.

I’m assuming you are new to Bollywood; in which case: here’s the rundown- Katrina Kaif is an Indo-British actress, one of Bollywood’s most easily recognisable faces, highest paid actresses and one with a higher success ratio than many contemporaries. She is hailed as one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful Bollywood actress of the still active crop.Why do people hate her? To answer that, I’ll divide the people who are against Katrina into some broad categories:

1. “She is beautiful but that’s it”

There are many who feel Katrina represents the Eurocentric standards of beauty with her fair complexion and British accent (I quote from one of her own films “Silky hair, milky skin- she’s like a walking-talking vanilla ice cream”). In most of her films, it is her aesthetic than her acting abilities that is celebrated because- there can be no other way to put this- she is absolutely, ridiculously beautiful. Fitoor, where Katrina played Estella Havisham was like a two hour photoshoot of Kat, a sort of tribute to her beauty where the cameraman seemed to be enamored by her (reportedly, although it is a rumour, Rekha, the original choice for Miss Havisham, walked out because she felt Katrina was looking too beautiful, overshadowing her…..sounds ridiculous but the fact that such a rumour should spread shows the public image of Katrina’s presentation in films, as the art rather than the artist). Shobaa De called her “as beautiful as an English rose…and just as dull”.

Why is this bothering? Well, there are thousands of amazing, dark skinned aspiring Indian actresses who are still shamed for their complexion and denied major movie roles. Where Katrina is held as the ideal of beauty, people like Radhika Apte and Huma Qureshi are treated looks-wise with some disdain.  It’s an Ashara Dayne- Elia Martell case.What is ironical is that in no way is this Katrina’s fault. What people twist into her flaw is really a revelation of our sick mentality where till this day we worship peachy complexions and turn our noses down on anything less than porcelain-pale. Also, pretty much all our so-called “desi” stars have endorsed fairness creams, often through advertisements that target dark people as pitiful creatures. So, as Abhay Deol rightly called them out, it’s not the biracial Katrina herself per se, but the societal standards that have brought about this sad state of affairs.

2. “She piggybanks on others”

Ah, a classic. Since her debutante days, Katrina did largely minor roles in male-dominated films (mostly Salman or Akshay) the mindset is that she has attained her success because of them. To an extent I agree that Salman did serve as her godfather for her earlier career but??? to reduce her to Salman’s charity project is unfair, unjust and demeaning. And Katrina cannot win, no matter what she does. She was great in Namastey London? Well, she was just playing herself. (How criminal that an Indo-Brit should play an Indo-Brit. Tsk. The times.) She was great in New York? Well, Kabir Khan is her sugar daddy, we been knew. She was great in Raajneeti/ZNMD? But it was a multi-starrer! Tiger Zinda Hai? Ah, she finally scored a hit with a meaty role but….it was SALMAN BHAI who helped her! 

While almost every actress or actor has had a godfather of some sort, Katrina faces the brunt of it because she has scored so many hits, nay, blockbusters.  Instead of appreciating how she holds her own beside them, everything she does is a direct result of their godly manna. Her success is parried down to the Khans, long after she has become her own woman. Cruelly, when she does embark on brave projects with strong roles, the audience roll their eyes and ignore it- refer to when I went to watch Phantom (counter-terrorism drama, one of Kat’s best) at the theatre and one guy, I swear, remarked “it’d be more fun if she took off her clothes”. Also refer to Fitoor where one person, who was clearly unaware of either Great Expectations or the character of Estella, said that Katrina is acting stone-cold towards the hero cause she can’t act at all.

This, coupled with the Barbie doll image, has led to Katrina being projected as a sweet but altogether passive person. She doesn’t do “fiery roles” of empowering acts. She serves Sansa instead of Daenerys. And we all know how that goes. Fun fact: Katrina now is nothing less than the Diana Prince of Bollywood, an action queen through and through and her recent project TZH had her snatch wigs, purses and weaves away from Salman Bhai’s altar. BBC London mentioned her to be the best part of the film, as did most critics. Her role in MBKD had been cited  as one of the most interesting female  roles of 2011. Meanwhile Bollywood Tumblr “sHe cAN onLY dANCe”. 

3.“she is a diva with attitude”

Apparently people have had some bad experiences with Kat who is known to be very private and guarded. Recently a woman in Vancouver insulted her and told her to improve her attitude. There are also several anonymous users on Quora who posted that she is rude at the airport. I have not personally met her but I was lucky enough to interact with some fans who did and they all assured me she was graceful and kind. I do not know if she is rude at airports or in the gym or whatnot; what I do know is that almost all her co-stars said that she is a sheer delight to work with. What I do know is that she provided food and water to paps who were waiting outside her house in the hot sun. What I do know is that I visited a publishing house because I was lucky enough to win some merch signed by her and one of the journalists there, a friend of mine, said that Katrina is one of the most polite stars she’d ever met, dignified, cheerful, guarded yet friendly. In an industry where female stars are thrown into a veritable fighting pit since their debut, she is close to almost all the leading actresses and has an excellent rapport with them. She gets along famously well with every co-star, not easy when you have worked with such a wide variety of them. Just see her Instagram, it’s mostly Kat hyping everybody else.

4. “RANPIKA BROKE UP CAUSE OF HER!” “SALMAN BHAI, LITERAL HUMAN ANGEL WAS DEVASTATED BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T STAY WITH HIM!” “SHE DOESN’T DESERVE SALMAN!” “SHE DOESN’T DESERVE ANYBODY!”

Scum of the Earth. Please do ignore if the anti arguments fall along this line. They are usually the type of stans who lick the star’s shoes clean with their own drooble if needed, act as if they have been privy witness to every detail of their fave’s life, do not understand toxic relationships, calling them ‘cute bantering’, and like to slut shame women for a pastime, while ignoring abusers and criminals at the same time.

5. “She’s undeserving of the success she enjoys, cause she is a pathetic actress”

A very interesting segment of antis had risen during the time Katrina won the prestigious Smita Patil award for her contribution to cinema. Their self-righteous claim was that there were a thousand other deserving actresses who should have won. They fail to see that Katrina’s hard work and investment has paid off, and thus they reduce her to her male colleagues, her beauty, her sex appeal. These antis are of the overall same degree and type as those who still believe Kristen Stewart is a bad actress. Y'know, the ones who sigh in faux-piety and go “he/she’s cancelled” about 50 times a day. These are the ones without perspective, who do not see the point of growth and influence. By that logic, anybody with diligence who lacks a natural-born ability should be a useless liability in society. They should be undeserving appendages, rather than people who deserve credit for their efforts. I quote from one of my Twitter posts I made a while back:

“Katrina didn’t get daunted by obstacles.This babe dared to step into an industry speaking a completely foreign tongue, as Chinese would be to us, & made it on her own. She accepted the challenge & owned it. ….(She) has worked her skin off to achieve the superstardom she enjoys today. The results are that she was the only female star to be mentioned in the National Award winning film Filmistaan, and she enjoys monumental popularity among the younger demographic.“ 

There is a reason Marilyn Monroe, Suchitra Sen are remembered despite them not being the best ability wise. A star is not just born out of talent. A star is also born out of the ability to captivate the minds of the audience, by charm, by persona or elsewise. This is no small feat but  Kat can do that. I do not mean to compare her to  these iconic women, but am making  an analogy. She has screen presence. She is a star. Like it or not, she shines very, very bright. Is it her fault that she is successful? Beautiful? Hardworking? That directors come to her with scripts? What is she supposed to do, reject them? Well boohoo, I have news for you.

Besides, and this is what is most hilarious, Katrina is actually one of the most unproblematic stars of Bollywood, especially amusing when you look at the sheer number of the haters. She went to this talk show and there was this bitchy Never-Have-I-Ever segment of strip and tell where you’d have to roast your colleagues and Katrina chose to start taking off accessories and shoes instead of dragging her co-stars! Problematic! Toxic! Awful!

”……A very important thing that most overlook is that Katrina has on notable occasions spoken up for body positivity & freedom of identity. Her role in Bombay Talkies had her encourage a gender fluid person to accept himself & speak up on transsexuality…..(she ) has always remained supportive of her female colleagues, promoting their films on her own social media, praising them at every opportunity. Feminism. Done right.“

In summary, if you’re looking to criticise, you’ll find flaws in everybody, each and every Bollywood star. Mostly Katrina Kaif but also many others. She has her haters, they are vicious. But, on a better note, it doesn’t affect her. I raise you this superior bit of tea I found from this one cinephile’s Twitter thread:

I may have gotten too passionate and written too much. Forgive me. But also, you have my answer.

STEAL SIGNATURE ETHNIC LOOKS OF ICONIC INDIAN DIVAS

Bollywood, for ages, has seen divas stealing the shows outside the sets of the film with their poise and style. They know what to drape, how to look, and what to say. We, as commoners, are always in awe of these celebrities and wish to have their sense of style. However, with too many options, it can be a little challenging to make the right decision.

This is why we’ve enlisted the expertise of some of our most famous ethnic divas. They have perfected an all-encompassing ethnic look that integrates the vital aspects of all the many styles worn across the subcontinent.

Not only that, but the classic elements they’ve chosen for their signature styles are also ageless. Meaning they’re just as relevant and respectable today as they were in the past and will continue to be so in the future. So, without further ado, let’s break down these distinct ethnic styles and find all the tips we can find to style ourselves better.

MAHARANI GAYATRI DEVI: THE EPITOME OF EFFORTLESS REGALITY

The regal persona of Jaipur’s dignified Maharani consort has attracted admirers from all around the world. Her highness was a great example of beauty with intelligence and which we frequently know to be one of the most beautiful females in the world. She quickly won people’s hearts with her kindness and compassion. True to her royal bloodlines, she exhibited a real regal sense of style throughout her life, earning her praise from fashion enthusiasts throughout.

Her hallmark style was soft-shaded chiffon sarees, elegantly draped over in the nobly modest manner with long-sleeved and equally simple blouses. throughout her life trajectory, we saw her acing the basics but understatedly regal attires

She used charmingly simple necklaces and earrings, often made of flawless pearls, to suit her modest style. She always wore a tiny touch of a little red bindi on her forehead and rich red-tinted lips for her cosmetics. She’d typically simply wear minimum kohl for her expressive eyes, keeping her hair short in a bobbed cut with cascading waves, in keeping with her humble aesthetic.

Because her overall style has always been fundamental and straightforward, you can borrow some of her signature characteristics if your tastes are similar to hers.

POINTS TO STEAL

Ideal for a regal aesthetic that is both modest and modest.

For a delicate touch, use light-weight materials in a pastel palette.

More superficial makeup looks using red-tinted lips and kohl to emphasize the face’s innate beauty can be absolute love.

Hair that is neat and tidy for a pleasant appearance

For a distinguishing noble effortlessness, wear minimal yet superior accessories.

REKHA: PERSONIFICATION OF FEMININE GRACE

The epitome of elegance and femininity, Rekha is the true timeless diva of Bollywood. Ever since her debut in the Indian cinema, she has successfully stolen millions of viewers’ hearts with her versatile and often memorable roles. As she grew more mature, her roles and sense of style kept on becoming more graceful and resplendent.

These days, her trademark style includes a silk woven saree often with traditional Kanjivaram and Banarasi motifs. The glistening golden undertone of her woven sarees gives her ensemble a glowy resplendence. And to match that effervescence of the attire, she accessories heavily with Polki and beaded golden jewelry.

She wears her inky haircut with a jasmine garland, and she flawlessly enhances her face in warmer colors, gleaming like the goddess on earth that she is. To top it off, she always wears a Potli bag on her arms, which, aside from being a practical item, also helps her maintain a very lovely stance.

While pulling off the quintessential traditional Indian look as Rekha does isn’t easy for everyone, you can easily take certain essential aspects to outshine everyone at your next wedding party.

POINTS TO STEAL

It’s perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions.

For true ethnic diva feelings, authentic Kanjivaram and other traditional weaved silk sarees are available.

Warm highlight makeup will complement the saree’s gilded mood.

Remember to include standard ethnic Indian components such as bangles and a traditional necklace with Maang tikka.

When it comes to lip tints and noticeable bindis on the forehead, don’t be afraid to go big.

With a gorgeous jasmine Gajra, you’ll look entirely conventional.

NITA AMBANI: EXUDING AFFLUENCE IN THE AIR

Neeta Ambani attracts a lot of attention as the wife of India’s richest man. In keeping with her aristocratic status, her sense of style is rife with the most opulent of looks. All aspects of her ethnic ensembles exude luxury, from rich embroideries to hypnotic, brilliant, and sophisticated colors to expensive Kundan jewelry sets.

Never aiming for a conservative look, her sense of style exudes wealth, and if you want to emulate this in your ethnic outfit, start with great silhouettes. You can wear a saree, lehenga, or even a suit, but avoid tailored silhouettes if you want to project richness. You can simply choose some more ornately styled ethnic clothing to add more volume to the complete ensemble, just like she did.

Aside from the gown, accessorizing with similarly extravagant accessories is crucial. Many fake Kundan necklace sets on the market may give you the same look without burning a hole in your budget. You can go for a classic Indian appearance with your makeup, varying the intensity depending on the occasion.

POINTS TO STEAL

Perfect for a variety of situations as long as the theme is opulent.

Don’t be afraid to wear opulent attire that reflects wealth.

Traditional regal colors, whether in jewel tones or pastels, are a good choice.

Select top masterpieces such as Kundan and Polki and accessorize freely with either authentic or destination jewelry.

To add to the look’s exclusive aura, choose flared and more casual styles.

Choose your makeup style based on the significance of the occasion.

HEMA MALINI: MANIFESTING AESTHETICS OF ABSOLUTE GRACE

Hema Malini has been lulling her fans to sleep for decades with her natural beauty and regal clothing sense. Her movements have been bestowed with a historical grace, nurtured in a culture-rich classical atmosphere of a brahman Tamilian household.

Her artistic sense is unrivaled as a Bharatnatyam dancer, which her fashion style reflects. Note that the first choice for nailing a traditional ethnic look is a saree, which is the ultimate of elegance. Unlike most legendary divas, she does not limit herself to classic saree styles.

She can wear any saree style, whether it’s elaborately embroidered nets or innovative ruffles, with ease. Not solely that, but she also knows how to accessorize each saree style to perfection. That’s why, despite her apparent fondness for gold temple jewelry, Kundan, diamond, stone, or even pearl necklace sets are frequently seen on her person. In a nutshell, her sense of style is simply elegant, and if you want to emulate it, here are a few pointers.

POINTS TO STEAL

Feel free to experiment with new trends if you’re comfortable with them.

Drape your saree in a ladylike manner.

Be aware of your personal style statement and accessorize with care.

Experiment with your hairstyles while remaining ladylike.

Use bindi to draw attention to your face’s symmetry and to express pride in your culture.

Keep your hands on clutches or any other type of bag to give the impression that you’re serious about your work.

AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN: INCARNATING UNIVERSAL BEAUTY

A beauty so enthralling that no one has ever come close to matching it. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a stunning actress who never fails to turn heads with her stunning looks. And that’s before she’s even spoken her opinions, which are equally enthralling when heard.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the former Miss World, has significantly impacted the Indian film business with her unblemished professionalism, tear-jerking performances, and perfect sense of style. She appears magnificent in practically all ethnic womenswear designs due to her innate attractiveness.

She is nearly often seen in the fluid silhouettes of traditional lehenga cholis and Anarkalis whenever she wears an ethnic appearance for personal events. And there’s nothing wrong with us. Both of these styles’ modest couture and flares give her a particular princess-like aspect, making her frame even more appealing to the eye. She uses many liners and shadows on her eyes to add to the mesmerizing effect of her ethnic makeup.

Aside from that, she isn’t afraid to play around with accessories, wearing them when they compliment her overall look. Overall, she takes a freestyle approach to ethnic fashion, with a preference for fluid silhouettes.

POINTS TO STEAL

Know your body shape and choose a silhouette that flatters it the most.

Experiment with different color palettes to find which one gives your skin the finest radiance.

Accessorize according to the outfit and the event.

You should choose makeup tones based on the color and style of your clothes.

Always grin with a charming and confident expression.

The points to steal are incredible! However, you need to know that the only commonality between all these divas is their poise and sense of fashion. They understand that a woman never looks better than when she is in one of the best ethnic collections.

Their clothing and style are what people admire the most. Therefore, if you want to uplift the inner diva in yourself, visit the Priya Chaudhary Label. The lady knows what looks at the Indian divas and will provide you the best at the justest price possible. Check the collection and buy the best today.

She did disappear off the scene, taking a hiatus and only recently returned to movies with Gulaab Gang, a woman-centric film.

It only comes down to how well a person can carry themselves and how comfortable one feels in their own skin.

It would be absolute shame if we did not pick out our favorite Saree Moment of Madhuri Dixit. Being a fan since Devdas and Aaja Nachle, her graceful Ethnic Looks are what impress us the most.
