I dont think anyone will argue that Kjo has a big hand in Alia's career but it's not like he has complete hold on every single good script out there. If he did films like Pink, Piku, Neerja etc etc would've never landed in other actresses laps. He can control Alia's career sure but it's not like he can completely shut down other actresses from getting their hands on a good film somehow.


No he can't completely shut down other actresses as Alia simply can't do every movie, nor can every good director be bought. There's also new directors who might not be able to approach Alia. Competition always arises when you're not looking or looking in another direction. Vidya, Kangana came from nowhere and made life difficult for the Kareena's and Deepika's.

But in an industry where good roles are hard to come by, blocking them for one actress minimizes the few existing opportunities for others. How can someone else prove themselves if they are never given a chance? If they are, it's snatched away by KjO. It's one thing for KJo to give Alia movies his PH develops and another for him to give other movies to Alia. When you don't create an open and fair environment, you limit the talent you get. You don't get the best talent, you don't make the best movies... people move on, as it's happening now.

I doubt KJo expected anything from Piku, Pink, Neerja in the first place TBH.

I agree, I'm not dismissing that Kjo does go above and beyond for Alia and that it does create a hindrance for other actresses to a certain extent. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it seems at least to me an oversimplifying of the problem to state that all other actresses aren't doing well purely due to Kjo and Alia.

firstly dear zindagi was NOT a dud. It was a semi hit. You don't call semi hit movies duds. You might not have liked the movie but it did decently well at the BO

secondly we cannot expect UP or Highway to do 100cr business. They were dark movies which any which way won't do business similar to a 2 states..HSKD..or Badri

the fact that what ever numbers those movies made..is itself an indication that they weren't totally rejected

Also the fact that a 2 states does a 105cr business is an indication of audience acceptance..she was the lead with an equally new actor then..not like it had a khan that we attribute all collections to him..neither is it dharma or else GTPM..ok janu won't be disasters..

Apart from this..i do agree with you

clearly alia has been given chances. Never did I deny that. Clearly her getting a Highway after a performance like SOTY was because of nepotism and chances. Can never and have never denied that..BUT..all i say is that yes she got ample chances but to her credit she made the most of that..critically commercially..

and yes had yami or illeana or kriti been given those chances..they be at par with alia today..

7 successes out of 9 is a good record

if you beg to differ i cannot change your opinion

and she won critical acclaim for Highway..UP and DZ

this is a good amount of critical and commercial success

if you think this isn't..i cannot help you..



Yup. And she is just 24. All her competitors are 5 years elder to her.

😲

Ileana has worked in the Telugu and Tamil industry. It is practically impossible to be a heroine without showing off a trim waist (thankfully now, it used to waists with rolls of fat before 🤔) and dance. Definitely a better body than Aloo.
