Anna Hyderabadi, to look beautiful by Indian standards means its not just her face tat looks beautiful.......and ok, as u say, even dyeing the hair wudn't entirely make so much diff.......but the thing is, her physique has to be the typical Indian woman's type (for fear of sounding derogatory/provocative I won't say 'shape' or 'figure' )......if u din't get m'point, take a look at the various generations of B'wood as well as South actresses from the 1960s/70s onwards.....for eg. Sharmila Tagore, Hema Malini, Vyjayantimala etc. (in South, Vanisree, Jaya Prada in her heydays & also a no. of actresses I can't recall the names of).........they all seem to hav one thing in common- not just their faces but also their buxom physiques, which was the natural Indian beauty tat was expected in a typical Indian woman......u cud find it in them by jus looking at them once.......! Compare these good ol' ones w/ many of today's Indian actresses & u find tat certain sumthing lacking in the latter, who r obsessed w/ maintaining 'slim n trim' figures tat r far more bound to appeal to the Westerners (altho even today's Indians r welcoming this as part & parcel of the Western culture tat they r expertly copying! ) I personally don't think tat Aish cud be called terribly attractive by Indian standards w/ her too-slim physique tat looks out-of-place for an Indian woman even when she's clad in a Saree (the best way to judge a woman's personality by 'Indian' standards! ) She might hav a beautiful face......but again, tats diff. to judge considering tat even tat looks much too cosmetically hyped-up to match Western standards! And I might add tat looking attractive in a seductive or 'hot' way is again sumthing of Western standards, not Indian!
