Well let's agree to disagree then! Because to me kajol is a limited actress with hardly any versatility and find the likes of alia far far better! The fact that her movies are hits without relying on a male superstar speaks for itself!


Which movie of Alia became a hit without a male lead? Highway was an average or semi hit. I find Alia very very unnatural , OTT and one dimensional actress.Sonakshi is also far more natural than her. Even when Alia is crying onscreen, it doesn't hit the chord because her acting looks forced.And her films are gifts given to her by KJo. Lets agree to disagree.

Which film of Alia was a hit without a male costar ? Missed that ?

As for hits, Kajol made those hits as a pair. People loved her pairing with not just SRK. As for SRK she acted with him before he became a superstar.

Aamir is fastidious about his movies and for Fanaa when Adi asked who he wanted as a costar he said he will give three names "Kajol, Kajol, Kajol"

Kajol is a limited actress by choice and laziness. But still has 5 film fares. Chalo, I will admit they can be bought, but 5 times ? May be so, maybe not. who knows ? If it was that easyOnly why hasn't KJO bought Alia more than one ? Only UP was deserved, that is why.

Oh as for Ajay, he is not a big flop as a director, quite successful as a producer. His acting alone would not have made him this wealthy. His plane was bought in 2010 or 2011 or something like that.

ALMOST ALL alia hits are without mammoth superstars like shahrukh! I don't know in which world are u living in! Didn't bother to read the rest!

With due respect LMAO should be uaed on your post that is FULL OF WRONG MISLEADING INFORMATION.
90s is on my tips so do not challenge me on it with your incorect made up facts.
Here you go:

Kajol was a game changer and did authorback roles..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The ONLY authorback role she did was in UDHAAR KI ZINDAGI ...thats about it...apart from that she used to do two bits roles in hero oriented films like GHUNDA RAAJ, HULCHUL, TAAQAT , KARAN ARJUN etc... even in hit like baazigar she was not having authorbCk role but srk.

Now come to her overlyhyped films post ddlj...NONE of them were AUTHORBACK ROLES neither ddlj kkhh or K3G. they all were candyfloss mainleads but far far away from being called authorback. For you info.

While karishma had a total deglam authorback role at start of her career in ANADI 1993 a superhit.
So does raveen in Imtihan and manisha in bombay.
(Just talking about their initial phase as u stated).

After that the list is for everyone to see in their later part.

Do not abstract manisha's authorback roles from 6 to 3 movies..will u?

Raveena was a big name till 1994 till she did professional suicide by taking two years break due to akki... She will be b grade only in your misleading info.
And as Nikki said she earned the highest acheivement National award as leading lady for Daman.

Kajol had only one author back role in Cushman and she was fine in it...nothing earth shattering.

Yes Kjo acted with others too but he literally made kajol' s career with most memorable (and overhyped) films...apart from him she would just have one ddlj as bazigar and karan arjun were male centric movies.

And no we are not kajol haters..infect I like her that's why I thoroughly supported Tanisha in BiggBoss...but I am not biased enough to give her too much credit and smoothly discredit others.



Lol brilliant!

Kajol's ATBB movies are with SRK...hits she has given with other actors too. She didn't need SRK for giving normal hits. Alia doesn't have any mega blockbusters like DDLJ, KKHH, K3G. She has just hits or superhits. For ATBB movies Alia too would need a superstar.

You're wasting your time. This is a common critique. SRK &KjO were born massive superstars you know. They made Kajol's career but Kjo has no hand in Alia's career. She has done everything herself. Her no known male hero movie Highway was the biggest success in the history of BW. Next she can act with a tree for a co-star and it will be bigger than Baahubali.

You will attack people who think KSG is nothing but you think Ajay is nothing ? LMAO. He has a 25 year career in BW as a hero looking like he does, 2 national awards and as for being a flop, he is a son of a BW stunt choreographer so no big BW family. But has made enough money in BW to buy a private plane. And I do believe If that is a flop well I guess the dictionary needs to change its meaning.


I'm not a fan of Ajay but he is a very successful actor in BW. Not being No.1 doesn't make you a failure so I agree with you there. However, he is not successful as a producer or director even though he keeps trying. Kajol has done a lot of home productions for him but it has almost always become a disaster.

Nobody can make anyone else. I don't think it is an appropriate way of looking at things. Neither SRK nor Kajol made Karan Johar either. Or vice versa. He became successful because he brought a newness in terms of style and modernity in BW after the trashy 80's movie era. Nobody can save a bad movie either. Kajol didn't save any of those horrible movies she did with Ajay either.

Alia doesn't need SRK but definitely needs KJo for getting roles. Most of her films are produced by Dharma. Without KJo she would have been the next Parineeti.Hits and awards have nothing to do with acting. All awards are fixed.


It's not that Karan Johar is doing charity and just handing movies to Alia out of the sheer goodness of his heart. He works with Alia because she is good! She's young and acts well and taps into a new generation of the audience that he wants for Dharma. For her young age, she's done such a varied number of roles from Udta Punjab to Highway to Dear Zindagi and excelled in all of them.

KJo is not a fool to keep working with anyone who has nothing to offer for his kind of movies. They can't be discounted just because he made them.

Parineeti didn't fail because she didn't have KJo. She had YRF and did multiple movies with them! She messed up because she started obsessing about looking hot and sexy and wanting to do those types of roles and wasting time on all her weight loss shenanigans. She even turned down movies like Piku. How is that anyone else's fault?
