Fashion models have always remained on the priority list of
the Indian film makers. Even girls from the modeling world view Bollywood as their
alternative career field. In fact, it is believed that the easiest way to
become a Hindi film actress is to first become a fashion model.
Many beauty
pageants winners have also made their name in the Bollywood Film Industry. From
Zeenat Aman and Juhi Chawla to Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka
Chopra, Lara Dutta and Dia Mirza- there are so many models who also became
successful actresses.
Many Indian as well as foreign models have tossed their lucks in Bollywood. Some of them like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu reached the top and some of them like Mugdha Godse, Sayali Bhagat, Giselle Monteiro and Jacqueline Fernandes are yet to make it big.
Still, this trend of turning of a model into an actress is
quite common. Amy Jackson, Gauhar Khan, and a few have made their debut; and
many other models are waiting for their Big Bollywood Break. Rather, the budget
and banner of the movie and size of their role do not matter for models now.
All they want is to make their presence felt in the Tinsel Town as they cannot do
modeling all their lives.
Whenever the Bollywood film makers need fresh talent, they
move towards fashion industry. Recently, we have Diana Penty who is looking
stunning in the promos of her upcoming movie ‘Cocktail’ and has got positive
response from the audience. We will get to see a number of Indian and foreign
models in many upcoming movies soon.
In Hollywood it is just the opposite...fashion models rarely are seen as thespian talent. Hollywood has since the days of "silent movies" have been about the Studio and the marketing department that would "make" a talented "starlet" into a "leading lady" or a "sex symbol"
ReplyDeleteThousands of young girls and beauty queens flock to Hollywood each year in search of "fame and fortune".Very few make it to the "A-List" status but hundreds make it to the "Casting Counch"!
Thats true. both Bollywood and Hollywood have their own way but they both are just superb for the audience. Entertainment is all one longs for and both are providing some great stuff to the audience.
