Panama Papers edit request on 22 December 2021[edit]

Aishwarya Rai - Highest paid actress of the late 90s / early 2000s[edit]

Allisha Mistry (talk) 03:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aishwarya was one of the highest-paid (if not the highest-paid) actress during the time she was active. It is written on Rani Mukerji's Wiki page that she was one of the highest-paid actresses, however it has been widely reported that Aishwarya was paid more per film than Rani and other heroines during that time. [1] [2] Therefore, it should also be written on Aishwarya's page that she was one of the highest-paid Hindi film actresses of the 90s / 2000s. It can be added after it says "Through her successful acting career, she has established herself as one of the most popular and influential celebrities in India."

Please do add the fact that Aishwarya was the first Indian actress to be featured in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People In The World (The 2004 TIME 100) [1] [2] [3] near the top of her page where it says "Rai has received numerous accolades, including two Filmfare Awards..."

The extent of her popularity during the 2000s is also not highlighted on her main page. Please do include certain points from her "List of awards and nominations received by Aishwarya Rai" on her main page instead, for example in 2009, she was "declared as "The Most Powerful Female Actor in India". The first ever extensive research by a popular research agency(Hansa Research) that was conducted of such magnitude to measure Celebrity Power in India; concentrating on different attributes like Popularity, media presence, power of persuasion and image attributes. This all India research also revealed that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is amongst the most persuasive and likeable celebrity in India. She has also garnered over 98.8% of recognition as well as recall value which is at par with cinematic legends like Amitabh Bachchan and cricketing star Sachin Tendulkar. Incidentally, she is the only female who is part of the top 10 recognized celebrities from all walks of life" [4] among other points on the Awards and Nominations page.

 Not done: Just 6 of her 48 credits are in Tamil per Aishwarya Rai filmography. That is not 'primarily' by definition (adverb for the most part). -- Ab207 (talk) 14:30, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):
Rai has an elder brother Aditya who is an engineer in the merchant navy. Her film Dil Ka Rishta (2003) was co-produced by her brother and co-written by her mother.
Paragraphs 3 and 4 under "Early life and education" can be merged as the former is only a sentence long.
Restructured it.
In 1999, Rai began dating Bollywood actor Salman Khan; their relationship was often reported in media until the couple separated in 2002. She cited "abuse (verbal, physical and emotional), infidelity and indignity" on the part of Khan as reasons for ending the relationship.[208][209] Rai then had a romantic relationship with actor Vivek Oberoi that ended in 2005.[210]
In 1991, Rai won an international supermodel contest which led to her being featured in the American edition of Vogue magazine.[11][13] In 1993, she gained wide public recognition for her appearance in a Pepsi commercial with actors Aamir Khan and Mahima Chaudhry. Her dialogue "Hi, I'm Sanjana" became popular.[13][14] In the 1994 Miss India pageant, Rai won second place behind Sushmita Sen and was crowned Miss India World, also winning the titles Miss Catwalk, Miss Miraculous, Miss Photogenic, Miss Perfect Ten and Miss Popular.
She continued to model until she became an actress.[15][21] Prior to participating in beauty pageants, Rai had received four offers to star in movies but she "decided to participate in Miss India to step back from the film industry for a bit. If I hadn't taken part in Miss India, Raja Hindustani would have been my first film."
I suggest that "Rai" not be mentioned in successive sentences and be replaced with pronouns such as "she" and "her" for a neater prose.
While it is not a policy, I took the advice and implemented it only in cases where the meaning of the passage would not be affected.
In 2004, Time chose Rai Bachchan as one of the world's most-influential people and she also appeared on the cover of its 2003 Asia edition.[247][248] She has appeared on television chat shows such as Late Show with David Letterman,[249] and was the first Bollywood personality to appear on Oprah's segment "Women Across the Globe".
On 2 January 2005, she was the subject of a 60 Minutes profile, which said: "at least according to thousands of Web sites, Internet polls and even Julia Roberts", Rai Bachchan was "the world's most beautiful woman". Avoid "On 2 January 2005,..." at the beginning of the sentence.as the article needs to follow WP: Proseline.
Done.


b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):
References 252, 276, 278, 279, and 290 need to be corrected according to MOS:TITLECONFORM due to inconsistent capitalisation in their article titles.
Done.

b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
d (copyvio and plagiarism):

An alarmingly high Earwig score exceeding 40 percent.
Most of it was due to a single paragraph adapted from this source which was already in quotation marks. I cut it down though, simply because it was excessive. The current score is 34.6%.
  1. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):
    b (focused):
  2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
I believe it's worth considering whether the media's criticism and praise for her overall work and life could be made more prominent. I'm content with the way everything has been laid out in the article's present version and would like to know from you as well before passing this aspect.
Well, the article discusses both her hits and flops and I recently expanded the "Impact and reception" section. Can more be added? Potentially yes, but I do not think it would serve any purpose other than bloating the page. If you have any specific feedback on the existing content, feel free to share it. I'm glad that you're content with the overall set up.
  1. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  2. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
    b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Well, it's her article, so you could improve it by excluding her name from every caption.
