Hey! I don't know if this source is legit enough. Are there any other places which have confirmed this?
Most other spoiler sites have posted this sourcing "This Is Bollywood". I'm not entirly sure on whether it is lefit or not.
Wow if this is true Heroes is really looking bad for season 2, the addition of Mohinder's sister, who is supposed to be dead for the last 20 plus years, indicates the writers are totally at a loss for a story line. That's really pathetic.
wow, Aishwara Rai? O_o That's one big name (at least for me) But indeed, it makes me wonder, isn't Shanti supposed to be dead? And even if she were to appear, weren't she supposed to be in the age when she died?
I don't really like the way it goes, either but as long as they're able to pull it off realistically I'm not gonna complain
I don't think Mohinder was told the whole truth about what happened to his sister. Remember the company had a file on her, with her picture. I think she works with the company. Who knows, really. But it does give a bit of room for her return because let's face it, if Mohinder's mom has kept Shanti's existence a secret from Mohinder for that long, who knows what other secrets she still hides about Shanti.
She looks nothing like Mohinder...
Aight now that's HUGE. N I'm sure there's lots of people out there who (shockingly, surprisingly enough) wouldn't know this gurl, but she's a goddess in India. Could pretty much say she's the reigning queen of Indian Cinema (fondly known to most of you as 'Bollywood'!?!), and tht's why I'm not too sure if its legit enough. Cus there aint no news about this here in Bombay (N trust me, there wouldn've been if it were true). Gotta re-check.
I don't think the writers give a crap about the story line in terms of believability or continuity, that much has been painfully obvious so far. They think because it's sci-fi that excuses them from any realism at all. That's why they rely on over hyping to get people to watch every week. A few cool cgi effects and the audience not only excuses how poorly the show is written, they think it's actually terrific.
The "This is Bollywood" site states that it is "an Indian movie spoof site" -- why are we taking it seriously?
TVSQAUD's Bridgette confirmed she went in for a role
