Bollywood filling up with also-rans: Ekta Chaudhary’s the latest

Ekta Chaudhary’s mom thinks her baby didn’t win the pageant because this year’s preference was for blondes. I don’t know what she based her research on, but Stefania Fernandez doesn’t look blonde from any angle to me.

Ekta simply doesn’t have ‘it’. And it’s not just me saying so. She’d find it difficult to be remembered with clothes off, not to speak of her impending doom with her clothes on.

Ekta’s career plan looked something like this about a week ago:

Miss Universe crown = Hollywood + New York

It’s now been humbly realigned to:

No crown = Bollywood (hopefully) + amchi Mumbai; else, drown.

But, girl, I should tell you: Bollywood’s really no place for losers. If anything, it’s a far more competitive and cruel place than your ramp. Aishwarya and Sushmitha have made it alright, but not before they had their (more than) fair share of flops. Also, do remember that they were not also-rans.

Among the other beauty queens, no one’s doing half as well as Priyanka Chopra, with Dia Mirza popping up now and then from God-knows-where and Celina Jaitley being remembered mostly as ’smooch queen’.

Moral of the story: we don’t need no bag-of-skin-and-bones models. If we want wooden faces, we have Om Puri (whom you could never ever match up to in the acting department, which is movies used to be about anyway!).
