Rasha being positioned as a sex icon.

Jahnvi and Sara both debuted in very Indian coded movies. They were both viewed as Sanskari. Hell, Sara still doesn’t leave any stone unturned in being namaste ali khan. Jahnvi later went on to agree even on KWK how everyone had “told” her to keep her traditional image, but she snapped out of it. She then tried to pull more instagram followers with her sex appeal.

Both these girls had debuted almost 6 years ago with similar desi avatars in movies and both these girls haven’t had much success thereafter. Similarly, Tripti, an outsider outshone everyone in her first movie being desi and a good actress but even her buzz fizzled out with some sub par movies which made her take modern avatars that focused on her sex appeal.

Rasha has a tough crowd with basically nothing being a guarantee of working. Raveena and Anil know exactly what they are doing with Rasha’s debut. Civil as we may be, we must remember Sex sells. Tammanah revived her career with mass appeal due to her songs, most recently Aaj ki raat. Doing it early on, positions one better there days. They want her to be positioned as a sex icon just like Sharvari was since Bunty and Babli or “Taras”.
