Star sons and daughters - Page 4

Muzzziiiiiiiiii! I had a big crush on him oh still have.😳

Humble bemused could never ever dream of being a Bolly actress. She's short and stocky with crooked teeth and thinning hair. Her cousin in Seattle, however, is tall and slender with a lovely head of hair and sharp symmetrical features. If she ever wanted to, she might stand a chance. At least she wouldn't be laughed out of the room. Is there any reason why she is thus blessed and bemused is not?

If a star kid has talent, I won't even mention their parents' name because they earned their spot in bollywood. For example like Hrithik, Kajol, they became famous for their talent and not for their famous parents⭐️ I love them.

But if a star kid has no talent and so much attitude, of course that person got lucky because of their parent's name. And I have read couple of articles of parents requesting from directors to cast their child and of course the director respects the senior's request.

I hate people like Uday, Tussar kapoor and so many star kids🤢

I respect people that came from outside that struggle to make it big in bollywood. I love SRK, Madhuri, Preity, Aishwarya because they made a name for themselves.

well...I agree that star kids do get more opportunities and dunt have to go through that initial struggle...but tht dosent mean they are having it easy. They too must prove themselves like any other new comer in order to sustain in bollywood. I mean, yes, tushaar, uday etc are surviving despite their apparent lack of talent. But does survival mean success???? Uday chopra may be survivng with a "pyaar impossible" but the reason people will watch this movie is only Priyanka. So, i don't think it is unfair.
Come to think of it, most of the newcomers/actors today are from a filmy background: shahid, ranbir, imran, neil nitin mukesh, hrithik, saif, kareena, farhan, salman etc. So it dosent mean that all star kids are talentless undeserving hacks! Its such a stereotype that outsiders are more talented and hardworking, and star kids are just useless and full of attitude.
If the audience likes you, ur here to stay. Dosen't matter if ur a star kid or not.

I am sorry but I disagree with the whole point, that if you are a starkid, you have it easier.

If you are a starkid, yes your entry to Bollywood is easy. You have big names signing you up and you have a huge backing but afterward, it gets harder because you are constantly compared to your parents or family. Everyone has their eyes constantly on you and you have people saying how you don't deserve to be in the industry just because your parents are famous. If you are not a starkid, yes you have to struggle at first but you have it easier later on.

Also gone are the days of SRK and Akki and Preity. Now seems like most newcomers are either starkids OR models who already had a name for themselves or some sort of connection to Bollywood from before. Every actor, starkid or not, have their own struggles. If someone has to prove that they deserve to be in this industry because they can act and not because of their parents, than people like Aishwarya Rai had to prove for years that she is not just a pretty face but could also act. It's not like ALL starkids make it big. Only like a few do just like how every non-starkid don't make it big and only a few day. People don't care if you are a starkid or not when they go see a movie, they care to see if you can act or not. I know I am not a fan of Sonam or Ranbir because of their last name. I was never a fan of Ranbir's family and I was never a huge fan of Anil Kapoor. I could care less where they come from. I am their fan because they impressed me with their movies.

As for how some starkids complain about how hard it is for them to be compared to their parents, don't others complain about how hard it is to be accepted in the industry? And I am not sure about others but as far as I know about my favorites, they always said it's a PRIVILEGE to be compared to their families and they strive to be even 10% of their respected family members.

Just like someone said earlier. Star kids have so many chances to prove themselves. They can have 49 flops in a row and can still survive in the industry. Do you really think someone like Abhi would get lead roles and sing AR songs if Big B wasn't he's dad? The answer is NO. If the person is an outsider and they haven't made a name for themselves in their very first movie, it's hard to make it big in the industry.

In that case, why are MOST starkids not to be seen anywhere after few of their movies? Why is it that it took Saif Ali Khan 10 years to be taken seriously and why is it that his sister only has c-grade movies and is not in the lead of some YRF movie?

Abhi's movies flopped yes but I don't think anyone doubted his acting skills. Just because your movies do well doesn't mean you are the most talented person the face of the earth. Great example is of Amisha Patel and Kareena Kapoor. They both started at the same time, Amisha's movie was a huge success, Bebo's was a huge failure. But I don't think anyone would argue that Amisha is a better actress than Bebo.

I say, if you have a problem with people being famous because their last name, who think just because they were born to someone famous, they have the right to be famous, you should have a problem with all those model turned actresses too who think just because they take good pictures, they have the right to be an actress.

This is not pointing to ANYONE but since I know most about her, I am gonna use her and her so called "rival" as an example. If Sonam Kapoor didn't have to struggle and didn't have to audition for Saawariya just because she is Anil Kapoor's daughter, than doesn't Deepika Padukone goes on about how Farah Khan did NOT audition her and casted her in OSO after seeing her at a party or on the ramp or something? So what's the difference between them two?

And anyways almost everyone these days in Bollywood has some sort of connection and didn't really "struggle...." These are some of the most famous actors now:

1. Priyanka Chopra - Ex Miss World....directors casted her cause she won some beauty pageant. (She is one of my favs btw).
2. Kareena Kapoor - Granddaughter of Raj Kapoor. Only in the industry because of her last name??
3. Hrithik Roshan - Another Starkid
4. Shahid Kapoor - Oh look another starkid.
5. Ranbir Kapoor - Starkid again.
6. Sonam Kapoor - Starkid.
7. Deepika Padukone - Famous dad, ex model.
8. Imran Khan - Famous family
9. Katrina Kaif - Most people would argue she's famous because of Salman Khan.
10. Rani Mukherji - Starkid
11. John Abraham - exmodel
12. Abhishek Bachchan - Starkid
13. Aishwarya Rai - ex model, Miss World


If we kick all of them out, there would be no Bollywood.

i fully agree with ur point fari soha and saif r gr8 examples ofs tar kids who didn't made it that big because of their parents name well saif is now a bug star( but he worked hard not because he's sharmila's son)but soha is still struggling. esha deol also comes in same category why didn't she made it big if it's easier for starkids and they can be famous even if they don't have any talent ?i am sure dharam ji and hema ji can call anyone and get her films even if she's a bad actress i don't think anyone will be able to refuse the 2 legends of hindi film industry to take their daughter and establish her again. point is they have to work hard to prove themselves and the last name doesn't do any magic it's about talent and not last names.


as fari mentioned about amisha patel she gave 2 back to back superhits in same years and vanished from scene almost while bebo gave flops in the beginning. their r lots of flop films bebo did but now she's one of the leading ladies. also kajol is starkid and if star kids get films that easily why tanisha vanished? she should've been in the top league actresses then na because she has a famous sister famous parents. what about mohnish behl i know many people don't know him( dr shahshank if anyone is wondering) he's Nutan's SON she was huge and his son didn't make it big ni bollywood ever .f9 he did some supporting roles but didn't he deserved a lead film since his mother was a huge star.

and BTW someone said that star kids get so many chances but hello PC ( a fav of mine) is not a starkid still she got so many chances in 2008 she had 8 or 9 releases only 2 worked people thought her career is over but she got chances she wasn't a starkid and Mind it she wasn't considered in big league actresses till Fashion came she was ok ok before that but after getting so many chances she hit it right and came in top league.



p.s even shahid had to work very very very hard despite being son of pankaj kapoor he had to audition too and deal with flops too his last name didn't do any wonders to him after IV and at the end his TAlent is speaking not his last name

u said it gal^^^ i knw the chances r easier...being a star kid its easier to get an entry in bollywood.. Bt its nott eberyone's cup of tea to survivee.. so many examples like uday chopda..tanisha..tushar..esha... n so on..

i got ur point zarwa but Pankaj kapoor is HUGE Star. he might not be Mr Amitabh Bachan or Mr Rishi kapoor as he's very private kind of man too but please sayign that he;s not Big is not fair he's one of the BEST actors of industry a critically acclaimed actor. whenevr he wokrks in a film u forget everything else so yes he's huge star in terms of that
