This was a petty topic when compared what economist analyse in the world today with the markets and brain drain. Well I couldn’t resist from thinking about this, if you think this is drab and trash then you can exit right now.
Bollywood and Kollywood stars moving in search of greener pastures and vice versa is nothing new to this film industry. The beauty drain of the yesteryears started with Vyjayanthimala in the 60’s and followed by the trio Hemamalini, Rekha and Sridevi in the early 80’s. It is not new for Tamil actress to move to Bollywood to cash in on their beauty and then become Bollywood daughter-in-laws Sridevi and Hemamalini.
For those who feel that they’ve lost the queens to Bollywood have some reasons to feel happy. South has got only more in the trade. The 90’s saw the reversal of this exodus. We don’t if was a simple supply demand situation or was a pattern. The Mumbai beauty queens paraded to Kollywood and made a good fortune. me of the actress made single appearances and were never spotted but Sarika, Kushboo, Simran, Jothika formed the suit of successful professionals and decided to settle back.
Where does North meet the South? Is it just at work or is it also in life? While labor theory can explain the movement for work but the nothing can predict nor explain the selection of the better halves. Some partnerships just extend beyond reel life into real life. The much spoken Sarika- Kamalhassn of the 80’s, Kushboo-Sundar of the 90’s. The much talked about pair of the town today and this decade is Jo-Surya and Sonia Agarwal/Selvaraghavan.
With RMKV ads throwing their new ad campaigns with Jo and the industry speculating the Jo/Surya pair things got more interesting and hot just like the couple. It was not a cakewalk for this couple to get their folks agree to this marraige. After much convincing the couple will tiew the knot on Sept 11. The town has turned sleepless debating the color of Jo's wedding and Reception saree. Sometimes reel life become reality.
Some lifetime partnerships have been very successful while some failed due to reasons beyond debate. Let us welcome the new daughter-in-laws of Kollywood and wish them happiness and partnership of a lifetime.
Hmmm.. everything's okay as long as love blooms:) Adds to India's unity!!
ReplyDeleteThe concept of going around a full circle applies to everything (well, almost everything..LOL)... If people migrated to one area at some point of time, a hundred years later the reverse occurs.
ReplyDeleteIt is ofcourse a happy thing to say that Jo-Surya put their foot down and battled a lot with their families to be united. I wish them luck and let us see if they make a happy married ever-after fairy tale story!
