Dancers from the 90s vs Gennext

Originally posted by: ponymo

Back in the day, one of the prerequisites for an actress apart from being beautiful, was being able to dance. Acting wasn't given a lot of importance because there weren't too many great parts for actresses. As long as they could show a few expressions, they used to manage fine. Hence almost every actress from the 90s was also a good dancer.

But almost all these 90s actresses were outsiders. Except Karisma in the 90s, almost no one else was a starkid (although Karisma kind of went through the struggles of an outsider and was also a very good dancer so it's truly an exception. And when you are not a starkid, and are determined to be an actress, you have to truly fight and stand out to be selected for a film. And they all put efforts and succeeded.

But in the newer generation, there are way too many starkids - Kareena, Sonam, Athiya, Sonakshi, Alia, etc. they all can hardly dance well. Only because it's been an easy path for them: they got movies probably without even deserving them. People like Shraddha, who despite being an industry kid couldn't get a great launch because her dad wasn't a big star, worked hard, learned ballet and kathak and became a good dancer. The others are just lazy and take it for granted because they get movies on a platter.

So yeah, nepotism is to be blamed for this.

Shraddha was good in sun saathiya but even she comes across as stiff when compared to stars of 90s. Especially if you watch them perform during awards.</font>

Raveena, Tabu, Farha, Nagma, Twinkle, Kajol from 90's were all insiders. The whole nepotism screaming started during that era. Producers started launching their daughters / star daughters... 😛 😆
