Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants in Bollywood

Just like everything in this universe, the industry of Bollywood was meant to exist. Just like every industry, this one has pioneers who laid down the structure of its sustenance. The structure was simple and role models were then easy to find, who would emulate the past and keep the industry flourishing forever, in its structure.

Each pioneer carved a niche in the five roots of structure and thus became priceless in that category. Any actress, in future, would have to fit in one of the type casts, so as to carry forward the legacy of Bollywood and be remembered for her exquisite art.

Like every business model, the seeds of this one were basis five rules or USPs of Bollywood.

These five basic rules became the foundation stone of the industry what we call and enjoy today- Bollywood.

An actress should be able to Act

Rekha, a phenomenal actress, was meant to be a Bollywood Diva. She could lure audiences into divine sorrow over the scene, when she emoted. But was unlucky in love.

Just like Rekha, there was Karishma Kapoor who lit up the screen with her emotions, never managed to light her home with Bachchan Jr.

Rekha, Karishma and Priyanka fill up with screen with their presence that makes you blur out the rest of the cinematography of the shot. That’s how powerfully they act.


An actress should be able to Dance and Dance Vivaciously that too
Dance is one of the main reason why audiences dig Bollywood so much. Ask any Bollywood lover and he will tell you that dances and songs are one of his favourite reasons to watch the film.

An actress should be Glamorous

What’s a Bollywood actress if she isn’t glamourous? A beauty with a sense of armoured ecstasy that emboldens herself to mesmerize millions with their stylish fashion. There’s been no body as trendy and sustainably trendy, as Zeenat Aman and carrying her legacy forward is Sonam Kapoor.

A stunner who’s master of her skill in making this industry the most glamorous and dynamically daring places in the world to be. Just how an Indian body can carry of clothes and an onlooker’s imagination with that –That is power.


An actress should be Entertaining

They need not have brevity by their side all the time. Kareena Kapoor was born to be a Bollywood superstar, by creating her niche called, “The attitude club”. Then Alia Bhatt donned on Bebo’s pants in this generation with a modified club of attitude version called “attitude with a twist”. Where what she says makes sense to you, but after you have had a hearty Lol.

They are charming and you will never get bored of watching their candid self during interviews.Who do you think made celebrity news viral with the back of their hands?


An actress should inspire literature

An actress should be able to physically narrate the author’s conceptual script from his mind’s eye. From Shabana Azmi to Konkana Sen Sharma and Kalki Koechlin, these literati have managed to be popular in spite of their off stream performances.

Because, they are exceptionally capable of wearing a character and let it take over their true selves onscreen, to give you what they say- A mirror view of the author’s thoughts.

Actresses were replaced but the laws never changed. Those who emulate their predecessors successfully, not only the superficiality but having a sense of real similarity with each other, real essence of the rules itself, are sisters of Bollywood; Meant to keep it alive and booming-This Bollywood!
