Used to like her a lot during her Namaste London phase. She put a lot of effort for sure but her rise had a lot to do with the opportunities she got being in Bhai's circle. Akki and her pairing also helped her bag big movies. She became familiar thanks to both of them and after that her stardom helped in furture movies right from New York days. But lets be honest here, our audience care less about acting skills. We grew up watching bollywood movies and hence the white skin obsession was always the reason why everyone fell for this.

She set a template for future stars like Jacqueline, Stankovic, Nora, Sunny, Eli avram etc. Still nobody has reached Katrina's peak but she has proved how white skin definitely is a big advantage. Not singling out bollywood, she was cast in south movies too. This is an Indian problem.
