Exactly and look at them now. Amitabh Bachchan and SRK are two of the biggest Bollywood stars of all time and Ranveer could possibly be the next big thing in Bollywood.

I think everyone earns their fanatics because they put similar amount of handwork in it. Yes, the fans liking them for various reasons is totally different.
How can one measure what Ranveer did with his career with someone like Siddharth malhotra? Just cause, Ranveer has arrived and doing great guns in his career doesn't mean that siddharth who also might have worked hard in his film and will continue to do so to achieve the success. What people like is totally unto them and it can be anything from looks, acting, personality, star image...

Rani for sure. She was often criticized for her voice, her height, & her weight. She still is. But acting speaks for itself.


and her skin color too... yet she survived and even ruled for a couple of years. Kudos to her.

Deepika, people use to bash her like anything but she made her place. Sonakshi was also bashed because of her weight but she made her place.
As far as male leads are concern then salman because before wanted people use to bash him like anything but now that has changed. Srk is also someone who people use to bash.

So I was looking at this Ranveer Singh's topic and realizing how many new admirers he has got lately...There was a couple of years back...that Ranveer used to be mocked on this forum for his goofiness his ugliness and what not...but he has come a long way...post RL Lootera Gunday...Ranveer is now hot property...so we can say that he has rightfully EARNED his fans unlike the SOTY kids who had fans swooning over them even before their first movie released because they were..oh so hot and oh so cool and oh so cute and because of all the hype KJO had created around them...so most of their fans were because of their looks and the hype that was generated for them...not because they really earned those fans...So who do you think are the stars who were not considered so great in the beginning but EARNED their fans because of their perseverance and hard work...The few in MY OPINION are...AB Sr Shahrukh Ranbir Ranveer Deepika Sonakshi...I will add more as they come to my mind...

Which one are yours?


umm...yeah vehemently disagree there coz its actually the opposite...

As far as I saw, none of the people on this forum or otherwise where even interested in the SOTY kids until they actually saw the movie...the trailers, the posters...all received a very dismissal response by the majority and they got labelled as "pretty things who cannot act" or "john abraham type models who cannot act"...

BUT, once the movie released, all the three of them got positive response from the critics and the movie even went on to become a hit...plus, Aalia and Sidharth even got positive reviews for their second film...so if they have any fans, they "earned them" too...because of their own screen presence or their abilities infront of the screen (Dancing, acting, etc )...sure looks are a part of the fandom...but if they were the only part, then John abraham would have had a huge fanbase going by how many people find him hot...

Going strictly by your question, i'd say Dhanush..I remember how much the guy was mocked when he made his debut down South but the guy just turned everything around thanks to his acting prowess..Even when he made his Hindi debut, a lot was said about his 'rikhshawala' looks before Rajhanna released..But once you see his phenomenal performance in the film, you cant help but acknowledge his talent..

P.S. I think there is some sort of a prejudice against good looking stars😕I get that the unconventional or average looking ones have to earn their place by acting their pants off but why is there a general perception that good looking ones cant act?😆This is not directed towards you BI, just a general observation..I get that a SidM and Alia probably got their share of fans cos of their good looks but they eventually did prove themselves in their second film..SidM probably had more fans than a Ranbir or Ranveer after their debut thanks to his good looks but so what? The same thing happened with HR and Salman too😆



No I didn't mean to say that the good ones can't act 😆 ...Im my list of stars based strictly on ACTING...Hritik is always on the top...but its a fact...that if the ugly ones don't prove their mettle they won't make it...while the good looking ones still have a chance to make it based just on the looks...My example of SOTY kids was given because these three had become a craze even before anyone had seen them act...that they did or would prove their acting chops is another story...

The point is that...those actors who really EARN their fans will be the ones to retain their fans no matter what...biggest example is AB Sr...his fan following is still intact ⭐️

Actors don't earn fans, Characters do!

There's no rocket science to it, play a character that connects with the audience and you'll gain fans. The process is accelerated if the film is a success, reaching a wider audience.

So nobody has Earned their fans, or they all have.

For me it has to be Salman khan 😛😃 , was a die-hard akshay fan when i was kid ( probbly on looks 😆) ... used to find akshay soo handsome ( Khiladi , yeh dillagi , main khiladi tu anari , aflatoon where some of my fav movies as kid 😆 ) . My first flick of Salman was HAHK ...really loved him as prem in the movie ( was not a fan till then 😉 ) ...followed up Salmans movies n ended up watchin MPK , sanam bewafa , biwi ho toh aisi , ek ladka ek ladki, khamoshi , jeet , judwa , karan arjun ... after pyaar kiya toh darna kya was a total fan 😆 ( akshay was gone 😆) i hope he does some more of those 😳
except for salman , i am wouldnt call myself a fan of anybdy but i have certainly appreciated a lot of actors tat i didnt like at the start 😉

ajay devgan for starters 😆 had watched major sahaab n PTHHT... had liked the movies but found ajay to be okay 😛 my parents n me had just gone for outing n dad had suggested we watch a movie ...we ended up goin for zakhm 😆 i was totally cribbin befr the movie started but as the movie progressed i was just starin at ajay ...was fabulous performance by this guy 👏 n then their was HDDCS ( inspite of salman in the movie i loved ajay more 😃)

SRK...i loved the movies of srk like DDLJ , KKHH , DTPH ...basically the stories 😛😉...I just cudnt relate SRK to romantic rahul in all movies ( just my opinion ) ... but then aftr Swades n chak de i felt he had left the league of other two khans ...those two movie were phenomenal... wish he did some more of them

i still dnt undrstand how cn u be fan just on how celebrity looks 😕 shudnt their b somethg more that makes u fan 😆

ps: i have many more on mind but i think this thread will reach page 24 by the time my list gets over 😆😆

What a silly thing to say, who plays the character itself? The actor! Of course the actor is who earns the fans.
