B-Town actresses no more glam divas

Gone are the days when actresses in B’town were praised for upping the glamour and sensuality proportion. Actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor are pushing the envelope and striving hard to get into the skin of the character they portray.

In Hollywood, stunts and different roles for female actors were always experimented with. Hillary Swank underwent a grueling boxer's training for her role in Million Dollar Baby and even Uma Thurman wet for the same for the Kill Bill flicks. However, Bollywood now seems to be getting bolder and has started experimenting with the female characters and not keeping them restricted to the glam doll value.
Katrina, who faced criticism for her Hindi diction has come a long way in B’town. The actress is known for her dedication and is all set to share screen space with Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan. Kat is going through rigorous workout sessions to make sure she fits in the role perfectly. The lady is finding it difficult to drain herself, but is adamant about her decision and is undergoing training for four hours a day.

In one of the interviews, Imran Khan too compared Katrina’s dedication to Aamir Mamu’s focus and said, “Katrina has inspired me the most and her dedication is more than any other co-star I worked with. She works on her scenes, dance steps everything. She didn’t know a word of Hindi when she came to the industry, but now she is comfortable with the language too. I think her dedication is close to Aamir’s dedication.”

Kareena Kapoor, who became the most bankable actress after her portrayal of Geet in Jab We Met, the actress went on a strict regime and yoga practice helped the actress to set a new record of size zero. The actress asserts that she enjoys dancing and drama, but has performed action scenes with the same amount of dedication. “Kareena always says that I like to dance and not be a part of action films. However, I believe she has great intensity when she delivers action sequences,” said Saif Ali Khan recently.

Priyanka Chopra is another actress of B’town, who has gone extra miles to bring life to the character she essays. Even during her TV debut in Khatron Ke Khiladi, the actress performed a dangerous stunt and enthralled everyone by her daredevil act.
