Aamir Khan is the number 1 actor of Bollywood today. As per BoxofficeIndia, he is ranked #1 in india and #2 overseas.
He has proved himself as an actor. His movies spread a message. There is no doubt that he is #1 today.
But unlike other superstars he doesnt have a huge fan following. By fan following I mean the fanatics who go to watch his movie come rain or shine. In my opinion, you need to have these fanatics to make you super successful. Take for example the case of Rajnikanth. His fans watch his movie even if the movies makes no sense. He has a very huge fan following and these fanatics are the ones who throng the theatres and make the cash register ringing.
Salman Khan has them, SRK has them, but Aamir Khan is missing on this front. Google him and you will not find an uptodate fanclub. SRK and Salman on the other hand have way too many fanclubs.
What do you think is the reason for this?. Is it because he is not flamboyant or glamorous?.
Lets discuss the matter without bashing the otherstars.

I went to a workshop today and was reminded by a colleague; it's Women's History Month!
We have come a long way! I read an article which said that women now rule (not sure about the reliability of that study though!). Anyhow, female to male ratio in universities/colleges in America is 60/40 - which is saying something considering they were denied higher education a few generations ago.
Since this is an Entertainment website, I would like to mention some of my favorite female artists in India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka (I would also include some Pakistani and Bangladeshi artists too, but I don't think most of you would know; and I only know a couple):-
SINGERS:
Kavita Subramaniam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Lata Mangeshkar, and Asha Bhosle
DIRECTORS:
Zoya Akhtar, Kalpana Lajmi, Kiran Rao (even though she did one film, I was impressed by her work), and Deepa Mehta
DESIGNERS:
Ritu Kumar and Anamika Khanna (there are more, but these two are my favorites)
ACTORS:
Madhuri Dixit, Tabu, Rani Mukerji, Smita Patil, etc. (my list is too long in this category)
Please write about women you admire in the film industry.
I know we all love to bash the actresses we don't like, so try and be nice. If I can be nice, I know you can too :)
