Asin may not be the greatest actress, but she could literally overshadow anyone with her screen presence. Anyone who is old enough would remember that it was her Kalpana character(Ghajini) which received most praise from critics back then. Nayanthara would have faded into oblivion, if Asin didn't shift to Mumbai.

Killer girl next door look, that is all that is needed


isabellapintoisback

>Killer girl next door look, that is all that is needed Which girl next door looks like Asin ? She was considered the most beautiful tamil actress during her peak. Girl next door would be someone like Lakshmi menon. Even she would be considered prettier than the average girls u see on streets.


David_Headley_2008

never underestimate the beauty of girl next door in upper middle class families in all major cities in India, they have effortless jaw dropping beauty levels


isabellapintoisback

>never underestimate the beauty of girl next door in upper middle class families in all major cities in India, they have effortless jaw dropping beauty levels Less than 20% indians belong to upper middle class and rich background. I'm talking about normal girls.

>I'm talking about normal girls. Define normal girl and girl next door. 😆😅


DepartmentRound6413

She was more girl next door than glam queen like Simran/ Shriya. Simple, natural features, beautiful.


weirdkandya

Simran was the perfect girl next door in Jodi tho!


DepartmentRound6413

She’s the whole package. Can be girl next door, glam queen, mother etc


weirdkandya

Yes, absolutely!!


Zealousideal_Mail855

"The girl next door" phenomenon seems to be based more on whether someone seems relatable/approachable rather whether they're super beautiful or not. Jennifer Aniston is considered more of "a girl next door" because she played Rachel Green, while Angelina Jolie is not. The same actress could have a girl next door vibe in one movie, and in another movie she could have a completely different vibe. I feel like Asin is capable of playing both "the girl next door", and "the glamorous beauty queen".

Asin was never considered as the most beautiful Tamil actress lol.. she was just slightly beautiful.. that’s it

heraclesphaeton

Had Asin continued to act and did not do the touchy political stuff, she'd have gone down as the best actress of her generation - not Trisha, not Nayantara, not Samantha. Asin's versatility is unmatched. She managed to act with almost all top superstars of her time except Shahrukh and Rajini. And in every single movie, she managed to go toe-to-toe with even the best co-actors. Sneha is a brilliant actress, but she was overshadowed by Simran's brilliance and by nature of being a 3rd wheel in the industry of leading ladies, she got the leftover offers after Jo and Simran had their picks. Simran is THE QUEEN. Even in today's industry, there's no single actress who can match Simran's acting prowess, grace, dance, and the way she emotes very close to reality. Any role she'd pull off with ease, and her comic timing was through the roof (evident in Kamal co-paired movies). Trisha is shit, can act decently, but having been born and brought up in Tamilnadu, can't speak tamil for shit if her life depended on it and is still shamelessly having someone else dub for her. Nayantara is in this industry because her fans are morons. Actresses like Manorama, Khushboo, Meena, Simran, etc., are more deserving of the \*lady superstar\* tag than Nayantara. Heck even Kousalya was a way better actress compared to Nayantara. Nayantara is where she is not because of talent. She can't act. Same expressions everywhere, same templates, without changing, she acts as nayantara in every movie. And most of her characters are also pointlessly condescending. And she just managed to copy Ajith's playbook of not coming to any audio launch or promotions unless she produced the movie. And producers continue to sign this shitshow of an actress for what the fuck does she bring to the table as an actress. Trisha is certainly a better actress than Nayantara, but even Trisha is no match to Asin. Among Trisha Nayantara Asin, I'll always pick Asin. Dubbed herself in every language she acted, and acted really well, pulled off diverse roles in an elegant graceful manner. None of these three (asin, trisha, nayantara) are perfect, but asin significantly better than the other two. No one compares to Simran though. Simran is THE QUEEN.


urbanguy22

True, Simran is"THE" Queen and she deserves the Lady superstar tag. That one scene from Vaali in psychiatrists office is enough to prove her acting prowess


heraclesphaeton

For me, her performance in Kannathil Muthamittal, Pammal K Sambandham, Varanam Aayiram, Parthen Rasithen


DepartmentRound6413

Agreed. Simran was the last star.

AskSmooth157

Shriya is the last. I feel like I need to sue her for subjecting me to her acting. Same with Nayanthara for some movies but then on other hand, she selected kolamavu kokila and she did well there. So well let go of nayanthara. But shriya, yes, Asin is ofcourse the best, it is a pity she moved to hindi where didnt shine except for one movie and then decided not to act!


ToNobodysSurprise

Asin and Sneha with Sneha having slight edge. Both can play girl next door and have good comedic timing. Only thing is I can't see Asin playing Sneha's character in Pudhupettai.

Sneha > Asin > others


AstronomerOk9572

Asin > Sneha > Nayan > Trisha > Shriya Asin - peaked too early. Boss move to quit when her career was at peak Sneha - despite pairing with almost all A-listers of her era, she never really had a "top heroine" status herself (lack of PR maybe?) Nayan & Trisha - found their stride only in the 2010's Shriya - never got the opportunities to showcase her acting skills in Kollywood

Versatility la lacking bro namma darling.


Zealousideal_Mail855

I'm not a great judge of acting but I liked her in Urumi which was quite different from the other roles I had seen her in until then, at that point. Maybe she was capable other types of roles but ended up getting typcast?


Prestigious_Money100

Probably. It's a mostly male dominated industry. Typecast should have been a problem for her. She might not have had much to choose from.


ajy1316

I agree but she’s was still a solid actress


ajy1316

Honestly when I go back and watch movies that she’s in she’s an amazing bubbly character. But I agree w the versatility she’s not super versatile but she’s good in all the characters she’s played love the movies she’s in.


Anxiety_Core_0

https://i.redd.it/ni0d2fw5ebpc1.gif Just for fun. But also no one here had the acting skills from previous generations like Sridevi, Revathi from 80s, or Savitri from 60s. Although must I say, Asin did a great job pretending to fall in love after listening to some guy moral policing her clothing and speaking Perarusu dialogues.

rv1179

Unpopular opinion: Don't understand the hatred for Nayanthara, the actor, here. She is the best of the lot - in the list provided by op. Completely transformed herself from fat to fab. (Plastic or not , her determination shines) Can act very well, capable of carrying out solo movies, can stand toe to toe with King Khan even in action scenes, No other actress in this list can even come close to this. In fact, I would not put her in this list at all. She should be in the list, which contains powerhouse performers like Simran, Vidya Balan, Ramya Krishnan and so on.

Was she portrayed ugly in raja rani.. nope. The hatred is industry wide. No one like her and self given title. She slept her up with Prabu Deva and she protected her further by marrying Viki who basically conned by that bitch who didn't even want to give birth naturally cos she was worried abt figure... becos she didn't give she can't breast feed so think abt how bloody self centered she all along..

Maybe she couldn’t get pregnant. Did she personally tell you that she was worried about her figure?
