[@halfvolley11]

​@@SA-kn6tf You are probably a dark-skinned insecure girl jealous of her beauty. I am sure you are. Listen, stop whining about skin color okay? Even dark men whine about being rejected by girls -- this must stop. There are many men who are attracted to dark skin women. Beauty of a woman is not only about her skin color and body. A woman's attitude can also be very enchanting to a man. Try focusing on your character and personality instead of trying to behave like :"MEN" that these so-called feminists advocate and men are not attracted to that kind of shit.

[@TheAshimac]

I get where you're coming from but maybe we should cut her some slack too. She was new and got a good opportunity with a big brand that was doing well. She prob didn't have huge PR or proper guidance. She made a mistake in her career but maybe she's bound by contract and has to still defend her support of the brand. Meanwhile, srk and dp don't have to answer for their poor choices because their larger body of work can overshadow a small misstep. Maybe we should see the bigger picture about how things work (more success = getting away with more wrongdoings) rather than pointing fingers so easily.

@Shlok Chitnis They were never asked about it though, lol. I'm sure both SRK and DP have never had a chance to explain why the endorse fairness brands because their popularity surpasses that of Yami. You sound too immature for your own good; if it wouldn't be her, it would be someone else who endorses Fair & Lovely. Yami is an outsider and adveritising for this brand is an obvious way to stay relevant because she still hasn't had the breakthrough she deserves with her talent. It's a pathmaker for a good career. DP and SRK are already established and yet advertise fairness products and no one bothrs accusing them because they are too popular for that. You are the one being a hypocrite here.

Tapsi as she speaks we feel her pain and predicaments she dealt with as an outsider but earned it every bit of success through hard work. 4. Bhoomi as always natural and charming and confident of her own ability despite not having a typical heroine look. A beautiful gift for bollywood. I don't include Alia here, as she's odd one here because every time she's come up with the previlage of papa's quotes and mummy's advice with a little stress or struggle on the show makes her look like she's used to be conducted this kinda show since being a child.

And kangana and Rani very much deserve this show.

Nobody is born to become anything. Yes alia has the privilege of support and quick acceptance from the industry and a faster exposure to more people that may had made her a bigger star but she's now one of the most brilliant actor cause she works possibly equally hard enough just like others. Privilege can't take away her talent. Athiya Shetty also had privilege, do you see her anywhere? It's a survival of the fittest industry. Only talent survives. P.

[@Rpp92898]

He spoke when asked and whenever he was going to say more during the DCH segment, idiotic and over the top ranveer interrupted and started his story. That guy really needs to calm down, as much I love the actor Ranveer Singh, but hate seeing his interview.

[@rishindevnath9832]

Sourav Roy Bullshit Woman Empowerment . There is no scientific knowledge inculcated in the writing. Imagine being a literal rocket scientist and seeing this is how you are portrayed in mainstream media - A woman just because of being a woman has to be linked with housework or cooking and using pooribhaji as science instead of homegrown liquid fueled PSLV .

[@ibiriso]

This is one of the best round tables up till now. These actresses are talented (that’s why they are here), know about their craft, have opinions, are insightful, quite quirky and funny. And I can say for each of them that they’re their own person. Just the versatility of this table has my heart. Everyone’s so different and yet have a common thread ie love for cinema. Yami is so fresh with her thoughts and opinions. Even Alia for that matter. She sounds well read, now that she’s come of age. Tapsee and Vidya have always been really well spoken so there’s that and even Bhumi is fun. All in all satisfied with this chat! 🤍

no one was despo. example- she has not seen Kabir singh or its telugu original , so how do u expect her to talk in detail. she can only pitch in with her collected notion. example- she (and alia) has not done biopics yet- how do u expect her to tell how researches are hindrances . so both gave only general method. example- she hasn't done much work which means less narrations, even lesser refusal of roles etc. for someone who has less answers compared to the work others are doing- I think she spoke enough and I am rather happy with the way others listened to her and she got fair time to speak her mind. once again- none of them were despo. go take a look at chunky's daughter in newcomers roundtable to see how despo sounds.

Fair and Lovely controversy aside, looking past that, Yami has the grace, beauty, elegance, ingelligence, etc that most mainstream actresses today including star kids lack. She deserves big films and opportunities that Janhvi, Ananya, Sara and Alia easily get even if their performance is weak or the movie fails. So glad to see her here. Instead of Alia, Rajeev could have given exposure to the underrated terrific actresses of Soni, or Richa Chaddha from Section 375 or Shweta Basu from Tashkent files like how Akshay was called for Section 375 in the actor's roundtable.
