This is not to say that she’s a sloppy actor. Call her a victim of opportunities, if you may. The trouble is that mainstream Hindi directors cannot seem to invent challenging roles for the middle-aged woman. Bollywood is all about the young and peppy. Good scripts come easily to an Alia Bhatt or Deepika Padukone because directors want to write a character keeping them in mind. Could it be that Ash’s larger-than-life beauty deters directors from imagining her in a variety of roles?
You can’t blame those who feel she’s too beautiful to be taken seriously! The hazel-eyed actress was once described to the great film critic Roger Ebert by another critic as, “Not only the first but also the second most beautiful woman in the world.”
