Great achievement, no doubt. But I do wish she would do more substantial roles in Bollywood again. We miss seeing her in Hindi films. Her global success is amazing, but her roots are here too.

Wah! Desi girl making waves. 👏 And teaming up with Rajamouli for 'Varanasi'? That's a dream combination. The film's plot sounds insane – asteroid hitting Kashi? My tickets are booked already!

She's everywhere! Golden Globes, now Oscars. Her work ethic is something else. Also, Rajamouli's praise is a big deal. If he says she's a rare actor, you know it's true. Varanasi is going to be epic.
