During the promotions of Fighter, there was some noise about DP getting a role in the third season of the white lotus, but ofcourse did not materialize, and if you have seen white lotus current season, I guess it was the role of Amrita, an Indian, and that role was far from the main casting and relevance. Also, the lady playing that role has an uncanny resemblance to DP. What do you guys think?

About how she judge a performance

In 2023, Priyanka was on the verge of becoming a legit A-lister in Hollywood and had two big projects: Citadel, a 300 million series conceived by the Russos and Love Again, a rom-com produced by Sony. However, both these projects flopped and did not do anything big for her. Yet she is still receiving lead roles in Hollywood. Her next two projects are again huge: Heads of State, where she is the third billed after Idris Elba and John Cena and The Bluff where she is the lead of the film with Karl Urban playing a supporting character. How is it possible that she is still getting lead roles after the failure of her last two projects ?

Kinda seems like a missed opportunity for holly. Felt really bad for PC when she got a side y role in Baywatch whilst she had the hot bod to be in the red bikini. Like a Sofia vergera - priyanka Chopra combination would be a ball on the screen!!

The hate is clearly visible on everyone's faces and this was pretty early in her career. Even Hemamalini made negative expressions. Seriously wtf?

2 out of 3 films in top 3 are Maddock's 🧐

Super excited for this one film from Kiara's line-up. 😁

She was planning to produce and act in the remake of “The Intern” but I guess it’s shelved now, sad because I was actually really excited. Deepika is now only interested in the big tentpole films 😒

The Incision mark is quite visible. Check it out here.. 👇

This got scary for a sec, people need to know their boundaries...

So I watched this video called “The Dark Side of Bollywood PR” by YBP Filmy, and honestly, it made me think differently about how we see some of the biggest stars in the industry—especially the three Khans, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, etc. (IF YOU WANT ONLY ABOUT THIS TOPIC, YOU CAN START WATCHING IT FROM 9 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS).

PR nowadays is all about carefully crafting an image—sometimes even rewriting public memory. Take Shah Rukh Khan, for instance. Everyone loves him for his charm and wit, but a lot of the behind-the-scenes narratives—like his struggles in his school when lot of political people had studied in the same place, his comebacks, even his controversies with PC—are handled so smoothly by PR that the focus always remains on his “king” persona.

Salman Khan’s case is even more layered. Despite his legal issues and controversies,run and hit, black buck, his PR machinery has worked overtime to keep the focus on his “Being Human” charity work and mass appeal. The way his image has been preserved says a lot about the power of good PR.

Aamir Khan, meanwhile, is always seen as the “intellectual” or the “perfectionist,” right? That’s not an accident. His choices, his rare public appearances, even the timing of his statements—it’s all part of a bigger strategy to keep that image clean and thoughtful. (Like spitting on actresses hand)

Then there’s Alia Bhatt. She’s incredibly talented, no doubt. But the video points out how PR has played a major role in constantly highlighting her “girl next door” and “natural performer” image—while brushing off things like nepotism debates or any career dips like sadak 2 ,shandaar and heart of stone. It’s like her team always keeps the spotlight on her acting chops and down-to-earth persona.

Another really interesting part of the video was when it touched on Amitabh Bachchan. His story honestly stands out—not just because he’s a legend, but because his image has gone through such a dramatic transformation over the decades. Back in the day, Bachchan went through a rough patch—financially and reputation-wise. There were controversies (like Rekha, Amrita singh, Praveen Babi and some b grade movies like boom in 2003), political ties that didn’t go down well, and a general sense that his golden era might be over. But then, something shifted. Suddenly, he was seen as this dignified, elder statesman of the industry. The angry young man turned into the wise old figure people deeply respected.

Akshay Kumar’s PR, on the other hand, leans heavily into patriotism and social responsibility. You’ll notice how he’s always associated with national holidays, social causes, and “message-driven” cinema. The video suggests this isn’t just coincidence—it’s a well-planned narrative to align his brand with values people look up to and avoid talking about his past where he used to give an engagement ring to his co actresses. This was revealed by the actresses in the magazines itself back in the day.

What really hit me was how this all shows that Bollywood isn’t just about talent or success. It’s also about how well your story is told—and who’s telling it. It made me more aware of how much of what we believe about celebrities is managed, polished, and sometimes even manipulated.
