Arm candy for now and forever

 Arm candy for now and forever
In a recent interview Neha Dhupia has claimed that now is the prefect time of any girl to join the film industry because now-a-days actresses are being given considerable screen time. Also she says that women are no longer just “arm candy” for male actors and that she too did at one point of time start of as being arm candy but no longer is.

Only problem with that statement is that she was, is and will at all points of time remain arm candy for men. If you ask me I think Neha Dhupia should be very glad that Bollywood has given her the opportunity to make money out of the one a and only thing that she can do, that being, looking good (again “good” here being very subjective).

Can you image the day when talent becomes the only criteria for making it big in the film world!!! In her interview she also talks about women getting more “meatier” roles than before. If by meatier she mean that women are being portrayed as pieces of meat, then ya, I would agree with her. Well a piece of advise for Neha, if you truly really want to break away from the “arm candy” label then dressing up in hot shorts and hosting the AXN action awards, really does not help.
