explain to me why hollywood does not have any desi heroine.
Oh, vinod.. it's too complicated!! white women are having a tough time making it in Hollywood.. black women have been struggling.. Asians, forget it! Haven't had a good movie made for them since Joy Luck Club!
not even one?
here's an article about http://gasiantimes.com/Apr08/asian.hollywood.htm Asians and stereotyping in Hollywood.
BTW, correct me if I'm wrong, the other recents hits for Asian actors have been Memoir of a Geisha, Crouching Tiger, but those have "traditional" portrayals of Asians. Then you have Jackie Chang Seems that Harold & Kumar are the most ordinary portrayals.
I like what Shyamalan does in his movies - throws in random desi representation, even tho Bruce Willis or Paul Giamatti is the star.
I do agree with this subject line. I think while an average Indian woman may not be overall 'gorgeous', she would still have some distinctive features of beauty - dark eyes, full lips, etc.
If you had to name 5 beautiful Indian women that you know, it's a piece of cake.
It's harder to name 5 good looking Indian men that you know :-)
given your obsession with excretions
What?! We're not talking spice, we're talking beauty. Anyway, I do think South American/Latino women are beautiful - you go back to their native countries and they're all there!
I think Lebanese and European gypsies are amazing -- strong features and they have amazing eyes!
>>> According to some news articles,
either that or he might just say make them eat daruvanam fruits and their spiciness quotient will go down and start tasting sweet down there. sevaji is nothing if not a resourceful lateral thinker.

There are beautiful women and not-so-beautiful (read OK or sometimes ugly) women in every part of the world.
I have found beauty in almost every race/linguistic group.. yet not-so-pretty among the same too.
So claims such as Indian women are the MOST beautiful or the MOST ugly are as loose as holding an ice cube on your palm for one hour.
How can we have a topic about woman's beauty without getting senti?
