Starkids: Who do you think would never have made it ....

Which starkid do you think would never have made it anywhere in Bollywood without the strong backing of his or her actor/director/producer relative?

Abhishek Bacchan. If it wasn't for his dad, we wouldn't have seen him after Refugee at all.

Darn taking Uday and Tushaar makes it difficult lol...
Fardeen for me acts like a pack of frozen ice

Isha Deol - so many chances and so many opportunities, a craze like D3 and yet couldn't do anything

Tanisha - she shouldn't have been offered movies... Lacks everything that makes Kajol and Tanuja special

Randhir Kapoor - sucked big time

Adhyayan Suman - He should be a spot boy...

Sanjay Kapoor - that face should be behind the screen

Babbar khandan as a whole should not be on screen

Kareena was critically acclaimed since her first movie!

Short answer = 95% of them.

to be honest, nearly everybody. Only hritik had a good chance. He is a complete package. Arjun Kappor would have been a guy selling vada pav in VT station.

Long answer below:

- Abhishek Bachchan

- Uday Chopra

- Tushar Kapoor

- Esha Deol

- Tanisha Mukerji

- Kajol (Yes, she grew into a legendary actress, but back then if she didn't have the family name, who would have auditioned her?)

- Rinkie Khanna

- Sonakshi Sinha

- Varun Dhawan

- Ranbir Kapoor (honestly he wouldn't even get supporting roles)

- Saif Ali Khan

- Arjun Kapoor

- Shadaab Khan

- Arbaaz Khan

- Luv Sinha

- Puru Rajkumar

- Prateik Babbar

- Juhi Babbar

- Riya Sen

- Mimoh Chakraborthy

Remember, I am not saying those in the list above are not good actors. I just don't think they would have been given their first big break or breaks if they were not connected by blood to this nepotistic industry.

On the other hand I think a select few showed a lot of promise/charisma/flair that would have got them film offers despite the hypothetical no family connection. Those are the likes of Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna.

There are many names but Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor top the list. Abhishek and Arjun would not even get street plays if not for family name.🤢
