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 and vital stats fad and importance attached 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.”
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 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 in Mumbai for the French Film Festival. Her movie 'Vertige’ (Vertigo) was screened at the festival. She debuted with Gerard Lauzier’s Le Fils du Francais at the age of 13.
In the movie she had shared the bill with two great French actress Josaine Balasko and Fanny Ardant.
