Usha Chowdhary: 'Oy Baby! You Killed Your Cute Childhood'

‘Where is that cute little girl who acted in Anjali? Where is that bubbly and supple baby appeared in Jagdeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari?'

In fact, the same girl has erased all those tender feelings and memories after 2 decades. Every child artiste is dreaming to be a heroine once grown older. And Shamili is not an exception to that. How nice it would be had she kept away from that? How the memories of her childhood would have lasted longer in the minds if she kept away from becoming heroine’?

All these feelings have stuck me after watching Shamili in Oy. With great interest to watch her, I have been to theatre but alas! that killed the cute little Shamili in my heart. To say in a blunt way and uncompromising language, she is not right suit to be heroine. She has no required grace or glamour in her to appear as heroine. She is far away from the standards.

We may recall Saritha, Poornima, Sujatha and Sarada those were not so glamorous but made a bigger mark as heroines. But those days have gone and Shamili shows no dexterity in performance as those yesteryears’ actresses did. Shamili is no way good with respect to looks or performance.

Every girl has to assess herself before stepping into films as heroine. They should come only when they feel that they can withstand for a few years. But the girls like Shamili stand as wrong examples. Her elder sister Shalini is far better when compared to her. That lady had some photogenic appeal unlike Shamili.

I feel that Shamili may not get next offer unless she reduces her weight and works on grooming and performance.
