Welcome out from under your rock :)

I consider myself reasonably informed about things...and i've never heard or seen that term before. You should create a thread with a poll.

Seriously? I've heard it a lot. I guess you don't know many Indian people :p

I'd think a country with a billion people would manage to find extremely beautiful women to be their superstar actresses.

Most of the attractive Indian actresses don't look Indian at all- they look Italian or Spanish. They're much fairer skinned than the general Indian population.

No, i don't. And since there are a lot of Indian people here, i'm sure a lot of people here will know it of course.

I can pretty much say with certainty that is exactly why. :)

The women are attractive but the talent pool for serious acting (at least in western eyes) is rather shallow. THere have been a few good movies out, the one that sticks out is Water, but most of them are over-the-top escapist nonesense that has very little appeal to the general American audience. So trying to transport the actors/actresses that do well in that form of environment into hollywood might be difficult.

but then again the talent threshold for stardom in the united states isn't necessarily that high. just need a pretty face and body. just look at jessica alba. absolutely no talent but hot as hell.
