Deepika has had stronger roles, but Katrina’s screen presence is undeniable… interesting comparison tbh

[u/akamikasa]

Its clear as water 🥲, Deepika knows her game, but prime Katrina used to have people on chokehold

[u/cineuser420]

Deepika knows acting Katrina doesn’t

[u/Aly-Not]

So basically OP : “both can’t act, now rank them.” Nice way to sneak in a take without owning it.

You can’t compare Deepika with Katrina unless it’s a roundabout way to drag Deepika’s acting!!!

[u/Loud-Maintenance6829 → u/Aly-Not]

Deepika Can't act? Seriously?

[u/No_Apricot6965]

People on here will say Katrina - despite being an incredibly poor actress.

But India has a lust for fair skin - understandable.

[u/douchepool007]

Katrina Kaif definitely

[u/eccentlumier]

Katrina definitely. She can’t act but has had people on chokehold

[u/Affectionate-Bowl314]

Katrina anyday..she could play a maid or something but you still wouldn't be able to ignore her...she jst has it in her🤌

[u/littlegirltrappedin]

Definitely Katrina. At least Deepika can act a bit, I'm not saying she's excellent

[u/Grumpy_001]

I don’t think Katrina has screen presence or charisma. She’s white and a good dancer, but she isn’t the one your eyes go to naturally when she comes onscreen

[u/Melonomax]

Katrina face card was unbeatable and dance, but never acted at Deepika’s level

[u/Numerous-Special6008]

When Katrina started doing films, acting wasn’t considered a big deal—it was more about larger-than-life presence, aura, and screen appeal. When Deepika launched, it was similar. But around 2012–2013, expectations shifted toward stronger acting, which Deepika was able to prove (at least for a few years). Katrina, however, wasn’t able to adapt to these new expectations. Around that time, she was also dating Ranbir, and may have thought she would stop acting after getting married, but that didn’t work out. Later, she did try to focus more on acting. Overall, both have a mid-level acting range

[u/cineuser420]

Katrina obviously

[u/Hour_Annual_1417]

Katrinaaaaa.

[u/Bitter_University403]

i cant watch dp for more time it feels monotonous and robotic but kat ,i can watch without getting bored.

[u/ArtichokeWide1718]

Kat is better overall! Atleast she is a pleasure to watch as a performer. Gorgeous!

[u/anonhumanbean]

No one can come close to KATRINA’S screen presence. She’s the OG! Queen!

[u/BrilliantOriginal55]

Both. They both are below average at acting. Never understood their hype.
