Hmm.I wont disagree that Sid has advantages coming his way cuz he is part of Dharma camp.But there are some shortcomings too which many overlook.Yea actors get way more benefits when a movie is successful compared to what actresses get in BW.But with fame and money,also come responsibilities.Male lead has the duty to carry a movie on his shoulders.His performance,popularity and stardom get scrutinized the most.Actors cant build a career in BW by playing flowerpots.Backing from a camp can help an actor initially,but he would perish in long run if there is no X factor and audience rejects his movies. Dharma is really limiting Sid's abilities cuz he aint able to dabble with desired genres,explores his strength as a performer,learn how to lobby for a movie,audition for different roles etc..While I really hope he stops being so dependent on Kjo,I still maintain the support he gets from Kjo is still one/fourth of the force behind Alia.

If not for Kjo,Sid still would've got movie offers(B-grades one mostly,not a big launch,still he wud've been there if he really wanted to be in BW) due to his modelling background and good looks..just like how Dino Morea,John Abraham etc got break through despite of being bad to avg actors initially...But Kjo launching Sid,made sure his career trade a different path with good opportunities,..Will say same for Alia..If nt for Kjo,Alia wudnt have got half the hype,opportunities,promotions,endorsements she received after SOTY...Bhatts mite've lauched her,but would've been a mission afterwards to bag a promising character cuz of her baby face,average acting skills(what she had during SOTY),absence of glamour and dancing skills.So Kjo is indeed one of the main reason Sid & Alia's career flourished in different magnitudes..So unfair looking down on Sid for the same while allowing Alia to take everything for granted.Ultimately everything boils down to luck.Being at the right place in right time.


Not that i disagree with you on any point, but just see it that way: male actors need to build a more diverse fanbase (i.e male & female). So, it is a good thing for him that he is following Kjo s lead so far. Kjo knows what he is doing & he has proven to be the best mentor of the industry so far. The more he succeeds now, the better it willl serve him later. & the Kjo connection is not harmful yet, so it works.
By the time Sid is "free", his acting range & his following would be big enough to sustain him. His first test is coming already: surviving the movie with Kat as a lead & as a performer.

& i agree that Alia struck gold with Kjo. His support is unique as is. I guess he wants a starkid to (quickly) become no1

Its defintely unfair to talented people like Pari.
But at same time Alia has nailed each and every role she has been offered till yet and it isnt as if she doesnt deserve those roles. Be it 2 States (NO ONE IN WORLD THOUGHT SHE WILL STEAL THE SHOW) or Humpty Sharma or Highway - she has been nearly perfect. So its fine

But can someone explain me why is Sid being promoted by KJo especially since he doesnt deserve all the films he is acting! He has to work a lot on his acting skills

And where aren't connections important?
Be it architecture or films - connections can take you far not talent! Talent is secondary...
