Rajeev may not have hit the bulls eye in Bollywood but hez definitely not on the miss/flop list...
Hez done some decent work and the small budget flicks recovered their costs...

Hez deffo not in the same league as the other 4 on that list...

I feel too that there so many talented good looking actors on tv than star kids.. its so unfair, strakids not only get easy entry to BW, but get chance after chance.. and one big hit and they r there for 10 years at least.

TV actors ... they in no mens' land.. 2nd class struglers .. with a steriotyped roles they did on tv series.

And lets face it. Every new tv series starts and i hate those actors... but they have so much time to develop the character and then its sleepwalk. they can go on to play same character for years. We kinda like them coz they do we expect them to.

Movies r 2.45 hours.. U have to develop character and glue with the story and screen presence with so many X factors. Connection with BW Godfathers is one of them. Audience is the final verdict.

Its easy for BW stars to come to TV and make millions, its not same in reverse. Now that so many tv channels r there.. they shud stick to TV and wait for right project in BW.

Nepotism will rule BW for years to come.

But Barun is not as versatile as Rajeev Khandelwal is. Hell, I find Kavi has more on-screen presence and charisma than Barun does. But if Sushant can prove me wrong then why not Barun. Even though, till this day I'll never understand his appeal. He to me is like Rob Pattinson or Justin Beiber...I know they're really loved and popular but I don't see the talent.

Either way, Rajeev is extremely underrated. Aamir was one of the strongest debut films by any newcomer. EVER. I wish his films made more money. But I'm glad he's not working with Big Banners and doing Indie films b/c you can tell he prefers the quality of work over the name or the stars. He truly is a star.

RK isn't a failure. Yes, not commercially successful but he has earned respect as actor.

I don't think Barun Sobti's show was really a hit show. It may gained popularity.

But show barely reached top 5 in TRP ratings. Besides online phanka's i see no one else talking about them.

If the ratings outside of India had been included in the TRPs, then that show would definitely have gotten better reviews. Especially in the UK. There are some crazy fan girls of that show there. 😆

I don't understand why people aren't supportive of television actors. Barun might not be the best actor but hell, he got to where he is today on his own merit. He isn't a Khan, Kapoor or anybody's son. His projects might fail to be released or flop but the fact that he even got here in a nepotism-ruling industry like Bollywood just goes to show what he's actually achieved.

I really hope Sushant becomes a HUGEE star in the future. People from the television industry need to be taken more seriously too.
