Karan Johar to LAUNCH another Star-kid?

That is so true, all he does is promote these star kids and in many instances they cannot act, more about friends and family than talent. Bollywood needs fresh Talent and i stress the word "talent". Many of the television actors and actress or the common man on the street have more talent that many of the actors and actress in Bollywood.

When was the last time Karan launch a fresh face into the industry that was not related to some famous star or family in Bollywood

@xxMATSxx if that is so, industry from bollywood should ban all newcomers.. i mean look at the amount of people who dream everyday and comes from small towns? why .. because they feel that bollywood is a place for talent and to pursue their dreams which is not true. Bollywood is all connections and only industry people inside and out runs through it, then why does it channelize itself as an industry for all. before kangana, no one could have dared to point out Karan Johar or any other star producer when they do such things..but now even media picks them up..because what's reality is a reality.

if karan johar keeps the balance between launching newcomers n starkids..i don't think anyone would complain..but this just gives out a wrong message to everyone that bollywood doesn't have a place outside the industry. because the biggest production house (DHARMA) doesn't back newcomers at all. Yes Sidharth Malhotra was an exception, but everyone knows he can't act so on what basis he got an entry into that banner.. not anyone can do that. Bollywood is not about one or two children or rather a family, the example ur giving its a huge industry. Also karan johar now doesn't make one movie in 3 years. he has expanded his business to much more films and i don't see why he sees a problem in launching newcomers..if there's a fear of failure or non-acceptance. then people have seen the results of kurbaan, gori tere pyaar mein, ungli n ok jaanu etc. so failure can't be the reason and i don't see what trouble does he have in launching great talent. he promotes nepotism. and that's the truth

I dont know why this is even a nepotism convo. I know they are star kids and karan launches the star kids.. SO WHAT. I think theres directors for everyone. If he is launching the star kids, theres other directors taing risks launching struggling actors. Its a huge industry. I dont think star kids should be shunned because they were born to actorsm thats not their fault. If we say its nepotism, then who will launch the star kids that want to act also? Should they be held at fault for being born to their acting parents? If they have the acting chops, so what man. Look at alia bhatt. Shes impeccable. So much talent. If she was not launched because shes the daughter of a film maker, we woudnt have been been blessed with her acting talent in roles like highway. It isnt the kids fault and someone has to look out for that. So im sorry that i dont agree with the whole nepotism convo.
Switch it to a discussion about doctors instead. A noble profession. A child is born to two doctors and admires their parents work and wants to follow in their foot steps. The childs works extremely hard and is extremely capable of being the best doctor. But due to the competitive nature, its difficult to get placed. Childs parents have networks with colleagues to allow their child to take on an internship or a job somewhere to prove their capabilities. The child succeeds and is now practicing at the best hospital and is one of the best doctors around.
This world, careers, operate on networking and connections. A lot of us get jobs that way. At least here in the US, thats a huge part of being ablr to get a job in a competitive job market. We know someone thay can get us in, there is NOTHING wrong in it, if you are very capable and can make a difference. If something good can come of it, there is nothing wrong in it.
