^ I have to disagree, if she wasn't beautiful there was no way she would have broke into films because:
a) she can't act, most if not all of her characters are the same in every movie...I've seen all of her movies
b) because of her lack of acting skills she hasn't been offered any great hollywood roles ...all of them have been flops.
c) unfortunately, she'll be around for a long time not because of her so called achievements but because she's a Bachchan now and they've been in the industry forever....this is going to help her because in bollywood when a woman reaches a certain age they are offered less substantial roles and more matronly roles, she seems to be the exception.
Frankly, I and many other Indians I know are sick and tired of seeing on screen.
