It is weird that my
facebook wall has been filled with s
prortswomen, women politicians, women CEOs, women entrepreneurs etc. Oh! it is Women's day. But the question is where have all these women been these days? My facebook wall is usually filled with posts regarding
actresses, models, and the screenshot of their favorite movie clips in which the glam lady walks with pride when a huge crowd of boys are drooling. This particular scene is from a movie, so the Heroine has to act, not just before such a huge crowd but also in front of so many cameras and technicians. Do you think that's a child's play? No way! Have you ever tried to cross gang of girls or crossed a Women's college all alone? Dude, you'll piss in your pants! I can't face a group of girls, It feels so awkward, I act strange at such times. Now, think of that actress, you got to salute her! What about a ramp walk? Woah that walk with such large stilettos, eating nothing but tissue paper with some Coke before a model shoot.
My question is why
don't you wish Women from the Cinema and modelling industry? Why
don't you take them as an example for hardwork and successful people. Why only
Mary Kom? Saina Nehwal, Deepika Pallikal and
Indra Nooyi. Everyday the women from Media industry keep us entertained, you can't ignore a
Shreya Ghoshal (oops! she got married, banned from the hearts of boys and cinema!) or
Chitra ma'am song when you are too romantic, you can't watch a movie if there isn't a romance or sentiment scene. Our days are filled with women from
cine, modelling and journalism industry. They are the wallpaper of most of the teenage boys. Switch on your TV, women newsreaders. Especially newsreaders for hearing impaired are mostly women. I salute to this lady!
I
owe a lot to Women from Tamil cine-industry, I've been brought up by seeing them on screen doing wonders and giving life to a cinema, they've made laugh like hell. Here are a few
Late Sukumari, I remember first seeing her in
Cho's dramas, her sense of humor, her wit will leave you amazed, you'll surely die laughing, her stage presence and her pride are applaudable. I don't know how she managed to act more than 2500 films.
Urvashi. Yes! Thirupu! Did you giggle? I did LOL. She's one heck of a talented lady, also with a great sense of humor. Her acting is just wow, and instant laugh guaranteed. I wish to see her in a lot more films, she deserves respect. I'm waiting for her pairing with Kamal Haasan again in Uttama Villain.
Manorama Aachi, I need not say she's a Legend the Queen of acting and comedy, also a singer. Who can't tap a leg for her song "Va vadhiyare ootanda, nee vara kaati na vidamaten, jaam bajaar jakku, naa Saidapetai kokku" in a Madras slang.
Saranaya Ponvanan, I don't need to tell about her acting, starting with the movie "Nayagan" she is the apt actress for Mother roles. Who knows she is also an entrepreneur? She is interested in fashion designing.
Sridevi!! I need not say about her acting, the secret crush of all our dads. Who can forget her recent acting in English Vinglish? She doesn't seem to age.
Jyotika, my favorite actress. Now a mother of two, devoted to her husband Surya and her family. Why can't she be an inspiration? Duh, ma'am we are waiting for your comeback!
Abhinaya, one of the actress who got my attention in recent times. I was shell-shocked to know that she is hearing and speech impaired. She brings out emotions on screen with ease. I hope she gets more films. You totally deserve my respect!
Rohini ma'am, I've always admired her role in "Virumaandi" her patience in her character and her ideologies were thought provoking. I couldn't imagine anyone else would suit that role. Least we know that she is also an author, scriptwriter, documentary and short film maker. I remember once Kamal Haasan had mentioned in an interview that he could see his own essence in her ideologies. I'd love to see you as a director in a movie soon ma'am.
Kasthuri, I know her as she did a very good role in the movie "Indian". Only when she hosted a Quiz show in a Tamil channel, I came to know about her knowledge in science, history,GK and also in Cinema. She totally deserves my respect.
DD! aka DivyaDarshini, she impressed with her roles in "Nala Damayanthi and Whistle", when she seemed to fade away from Media, Bam!! she started to succeed as a VJ. She is a celebrity host now! After her father passing away, she struggled hard to come up in her life and also raised up her younger brother, who is now a pilot. and now she's happily married.You are a true inspiration to many girls DD!
Silk Smitha, the dusky beauty who ruled Tamil cinema, who is no more. Regardless of all the comments, they need courage to act with passion on screen. You have my respect lady!
Sunny Leone! did your eyes pop? Yes, she is from the Porn industry. But how many know that she called of the filming of a scene, only because kids were playing on the streets, there are plenty of actress who go filming item numbers with kids on spot. You got my attention at first, now you deserve my respect lady! Going to post negative comments? Dude, I know you pre-booked tickets for"Leela"
Not only actress, there are many women working behind the cameras in Media industry. I'be listed only a few there are plenty of talented women in Entertainment industry, just because now it has changed from art to business doesn't mean they are not artists, they wear a hell lot of make up, on screen and off screen, smile for everything, act even when they are off-screen. Face all the comments, balance their family, keep in touch with their fans, and finally when they are about to marry, Damn! they are ignored from cinema, and their fans. They have got a life too, money isn't primary for them! They do it with a passion. Every profession has got its own ups and downs. Don't just see them as mere
flesh. They deserve respect too!
All these days I've seen news such as an actress catching swine flu, and regular updates till she gets cured and continues with her filming. I haven't seen news regarding
Mary Kom catching a flu or getting injured. But now you take her as an example. Why not the actress now? Respect women from the Media industry too.
Finally Happy Women's day, especially to the women in Media industry!
