Bollywood is beauty obsessed, says French actress


French actress Fanny Valette says she has no problem doing an out-and-out Bollywood movie

but at the same time she is very critical about the concept of beauty in the industry.

"Certainly, I would like to do a Bollywood movie. Will love to do romantic movies. I have

also heard about 'Devdas', its lead actress Aishwarya Rai and the legendary actor Amitabh

Bachchan," Fanny told PTI.

However, she was extremely critical when asked about the size-zero fad and importance given

to it in Hindi films.

"Beauty is something that is very subjective. What makes an actor or actress really

beautiful is how he or she can touch your heart through their performance and express

themselves well," she said.

Actors who have impressed me in the past are only those who have acted very well, she said

adding if acting is not good, audience would eventually get bored.

"May be Indians would not share the same opinion, but I put a lot of importance to good

acting. Putting a lot of importance to physical beauty is a monstrous act. Beauty is

something very plastic. It is something that you get genetically from your parents," the

23-year-old actress said.

Fanny is part of the French delegation of actors who are currently here for the French Film

Festival.

Her movie 'Vertige' (Vertigo) was screened in the festival. She debuted with Gerard

Lauzier's 'Le Fils du Francais' at the age of 13. In the movie she shared the screen with

two great French actresses Josaine Balasko and Fanny Ardant.
