Most Overrated Indian Celeb

Will the real Indian Paris Hilton stand up?

Ramsu and I got into this debate the other day - on who should it be. He said Rakhi Sawant and I supported Virendra Sehwag. I think Rakhi Sawant has always 'delivered' i.e. lived up to the promise she had made and in that sense, is not overrated and is probably not even a celebrity. Sehwag, on the other hand, continues to be a celebrity - playing with kids who drink each-other's health-drink and wearing a suit that attracts women and impresses doormen. He continues to fetch tennis balls from girls' colleges and most surprisingly, continues to make guest appearances in the Indian batting lineup. I mean, he's there in the lineup all right but the appearance is usually one-millionth of the ad break before and after his appearance. Runs and hair are disappearing and converting to tummy-fat. Poor guy only manages to catch some footage when he misses catches and winces and rubs his finger. But, you see the point? He's still a rated celebrity.
