Height Is No Yardstick For Success!
Especially, height was a main factor and people with decent height used to get good opportunities
By: Tupaki Desk | 25 April 2024 2:15 PM GMTThere used to be certain requirements to become a heroine back in the old days. Makers used to look at height, weight, skin complexion and a few other aspects in order to select a heroine. It was a must to have a modeling career and experience in advertisements as it would help in getting friendly with the camera and limelight. Especially, height was a main factor and people with decent height used to get good opportunities.
But it is no longer relevant at the current time. Despite not matching all the above-mentioned criteria, there are some actresses who gained pan-Indian fame. Rashmika Mandanna is a national crush. She made her debut in Kannada with 'Kirik Party' and entered Tollywood through 'Chalo'. She gradually succeeded and gained nationwide fame with 'Pushpa'. She got Bollywood offers and scored a blockbuster with 'Animal' recently. She is one of the top heroines in Indian cinema right now and she is not very tall.
She is not anywhere near 6 feet but she is earning crores because of her acting talent. Alia Bhatt is the top star in Bollywood and she recently won the National Award as well. At the time of her debut, no one thought that she would achieve this level of success and stardom. Despite the competition, she is still at the top and she is getting better as a performer with each film. Also, there is a lot of talk regarding Kriti Sanon's height.
Many assumed that she might not get offers besides star heroes as she is way too tall. Some even thought that her height is the reason for the actress not grabbing good roles. She acted alongside Mahesh Babu in her debut film and went to Bollywood. She gained instant success and worked with all the young heroes out there. Even she won a National Award recently and proved herself as one of the finest actresses. She started her own production house and is making quality films.
There are many actresses like Samantha, Nithya Menen and others who proved their height theory wrong.
