“Glamorous Lakshmi Rai now wants 'homely girl' image” - When I read this news in a leading English daily I really astonished because I read two different stories about her in a Tamil Weekly Magazine recently. One story tells that Lakshmi Rai, Namitha, Nayanthara, Meera Jasmine, Navya Nair and Vijayalakshmi enjoy gossips that spread about them. Other one is Lakshmi Rai is seriously trying through a most influential person in Bollywood to give a mega entry in Hindi Cinema.
Those two stories did not surprise me as it correlates with her natural behaviour of being always under limelight. But she said she wants to get rid of the glamour girl tag and is keen to do meaty roles to prove her acting prowess. She also said "I haven't got the right breaks at the right time. I'd like to do films with the likes of S.Shankar and A.R.Murugadoss and would also like to star opposite superstar Rajnikanth. I have proved that I can act besides looking glamorous. I hope that in the near future, the glamour girl tag would give way for a 'homely girl' image" Yes, she proved her acting skill in Dhaam Dhoom in an Advocate character. In Vamanan, she acted as a model and appeared in bikini. But she perfectly portrayed her tiny role of becoming aware of a political murder and her struggle to convey about the murder to the Police and in that effort she dies.
Belgaum Beauty Lakshmi Rai says her role in Naan Avanillai 2, which has five heroines including her, is quite significant. She said “When the film releases, my stand would be vindicated" Her latest decision to get rid of glamour girl tag is due to the Malayalam films, in which she portrayed non-glamourous performance oriented roles, that yielded her good name. There is nothing wrong in trying homely roles but you should not leave the quality that makes you survive till now. Hungarian-born U.S. psychiatrist Thomas Szasz rightly said “The proverb warns that, 'You should not bite the hand that feeds you.' But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself”
