i always say that a person can be given an opportunity but it is up to them to utililizes that opportunity and make the most of it. they obviously started in the business coz of their parents bt they have stayed and been successful coz of their hardwork and talent.

i hope i dnt offend any fans of David but before VD came his sort of cinema was dying no one was interesting in his comedy movies. VD with his charisma and acting is actually making him money at the moment. i think that alia is the 1st bhatt to be taken seriously after a long time otherwise their films and name is just only known for their sleazy sex movies.


furthermore they actually making their surname and lineage proud with how well they doing. unlike the kapoor children who are here simply coz of their name. kareena that over the top cow has so many flops bt is still around coz of her surname and her diva routine. and that other flopoor is giving disaster after disaster and is still getting movies? why obviously coz of their name.

we have stars like abhishek when i should watch him as a kid i loved his movies and he acts very well bt he never realized that To be a star u have to be the complete package looks and acting is important. he never tookbcare of his looks hence no one is bothered ab him now. the same thing is gona happen to arjun.


bt i will say there is a question mark for me on Alia. i remember watching her and vd and the kapil sharma show u could see the audience could not care a darn about her they liked vd more then her.

i just watched the IIFA awards and i felt the same way ppl where just clapping for the sake of it for her bt when vd danced with her. they seemed more interesting in her. one has to wonder about her popularity

vd dances very dil se with a lot of energy sometimes alia may come across as boring for an audience sometimes in interviews and dancing. in dream team alias face had less expressions compared to varun who was immersed in it.
though sometimes vd takes teasing alia too far e.g. in no filter neha

I would say both nepotism and talent on Varun's situation but on Alia's situation, it's more nepotism.

Undoubtedly talen for Varun. This guy was brilliant and the show stealer despite being second fiddle in SOTY. I believe if he weren't DD's son, somehow he would have landed up in DD's godhi with his natural comic timing and energy 😆 . Lucky for both Dhawan didn't have to search for a talent outside to carry his legacy forward. I know VD has done just 1 movie with him so far, but I hope to see many in future. His comedy was better than Rohit's cooked up comedy and craze for cars. 😆


Alia - Although she is talented, but she has sharpen her skills with time. If not an insider, no one would have approved of her SOTY acting. So for her I can say she started in BW due to nepotism, but since last 3-4 yrs she is succeeding due to her acting. 🥳 That's also big because there are lot more actors and actresses in BW who aint succeeding and causing HUGE loss to the industry movies after movies yet they continue due to nepotism. That's not the case with these two since they are accepted by the audience !

Nepotism yes but after that only talent. Not everybody can give back to back hits.

Both of them are highly overrated. Alia was pathetic in her auditions and Varun is sputtering king.

Hmm ok i genuinely feel they are talented as well but to each their own

Varun and alia are here coz of nepotism, KJO handed them SOTY
They also got to establish themselves as stars with the right projects coz of nepotism. They made the best use of their opportunities and credit to that.

Varun first 3 films
SOTY-KJO
MTH- DAVID DHAWAN
HSKD- KJO

Alia has mostly been handed down projects by KJO, it has been easy for her that way, she got the right opportunities.

look at someone like PARI who showed a loot of promise with Ladies vs ricky bahl and ishaqzaade, with the right opportunities even she wouldve become a star like alia,.


Varun and alia did prove themselves with projects with other directors varun in badlapur and alia in Highway. But I have to say they are stars coz of a mix of nepotism and TALENT..

honestly speaking starkids would not have got a chance in bollywood if it wasnt for nepotism, it is unfair because the outsider struggles so much


varun genuinely is funny in movies though
alia is highly favoured by kjo she gets too many movies with him she has barely seen struggle got her movie at age 17

Personally i dont' think any one's life is easy and without any difficulties or struggles.Every one struggles in their own way that is just life. Alia may not have struggled like an outsider but she would have had her own struggles because that is part of life.

Yes Alia got her first movie easily you can call that nepotism but the fact that she got great opportunities after that and that she acted well in them and connected with the audience that credit must also be given to her.

They are successful because of luck and teenage, young audience love them.

You need nepotism to get chances but it doesn't guaranty you success or popularity. ex- AB jr, Uday Chopra etc etc

And you can be successful or popular even without talent. ex- Dhinchak Pooja, Salman Khan etc etc
