Her expressions and emotional range in key scenes have been critiqued as repetitive and uninspiring, leading to the perception that she has not evolved as an actress despite multiple high-profile opportunities. Additionally, her reliance on glamorous roles and song sequences rather than strong character-driven performances has further solidified this reputation.
Another key criticism revolves around the disparity between her star status and her box office consistency. While she has been part of major commercial hits like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and Aravinda Sametha, many argue that these films succeeded due to the male leads and overall production values rather than her contribution.
Her recent string of flops, including radhe shyam and Acharya, has intensified the debate over whether she is truly bankable as a leading actress. Moreover, her reported high remuneration has added to the skepticism, as some believe she demands a fee that does not align with her box office pull. This has led to speculation that her career is shifting towards Bollywood, where she is actively seeking new opportunities.
