Varun and Alia's Success Is All Nepotism

I noticed in this forum every time I comment on Varun or Alia's success, I get attacked and called names. Today I was called "a bimbo" for saying that Varun's success stems from nepotism. I just want to take this time to explain WHY I think that. Not so that I stopped getting attacked, its okay please attack me. Now I know I had my crazy moments in this forum few years ago, but I have simmered down a lot 😆 and as you can see I have stopped attacking people!

The argument that Varun and Alia's success is largely because of their talent and acting power, star power etc. Sorry that is not true.

Yes - this is true that people like Tushar Kapoor, Esha Deol, etc failed. They failed miserably. But why did they fail? Yes their parents managed to get them some work , the name worked in getting them roles in films.

But was anyone managing their career the way Karan Johar was? Was any producer or director working hard behind the scenes TO CREATE WORK FOR THEM? Karan Johar has worked tirelessly to "create" films for his entourage. We all know Highway, Dear Zindagi and now this new film with Megna Gulzar is all constructed for Alia.

As for Varun, other than Badlapur (which I still think is a fluke) all of his projects have been "safe" commercial films that are guaranteed success. If people think that a blockbuster copy and paste film from the 90's is better than a well-made underperforming original piece...than so be it. I personally would take a Lootera over a Judwa-2 anyday.

The truth is no star kid before Varun/Alia has had such aggressive backup. All star kids have had help, but nobody has had THIS LEVEL OF HELP! Abhishek did for a brief period of time (yuva to guru) and even he was doing well in that time period.


I am not saying Varun/Alia are bad people
I am not saying Varun/Alia are horrible actors ( they are extremely overrated though)
I am not saying Varun/Alia do not work hard.
I am not saying Varun/Alia are committing a crime
I am not saying Varun/Alia don't deserve their opportunities or success.

I am also not saying that whatever I am saying are facts. THIS IS MY OPINION. MINE.
All I am saying is NEPOTISM IS THERE. Whether we all like it or not, IT IS THERE. They would no nowhere without. So I'd really appreciate if I can stop being called various names like "bimbo" just because I choose to credit their success to nepotism. I don't care if I say it in every single topic, where I feel the need to say it...I will.

Not at all true

And what about shradhdha's?

What about her? I've yet to see someone praise Shraddha's acting ability, and her Haseena earned under 10 crores so I think we all know where that's going!

Your siggy cracks me up every single time. The way you've kept that pic in your siggy 😆

I agree with you.

I think alia's career is majorly due to nepotism...specially if forum member's discussions of kjo convincing every other filmmaker to cast her are anything to go by...but varun's career seems more about the connect he has made with the masses...I won't ever be a part of his fandom if his acting remains the way it is but other people do connect with him/his movies...I don't think this is deniable...he was not pushed/promoted as much by kjo as alia was...I think kjo promoted sid more than varun...

yes they do have aggressive backup. i strongly feel alia's backup from kjo is much more aggressive than varun gets from kjo

So if it's all Karan Johar why isn't Sid a success 😆 😆

If commercial films are safe why did masala comedy Besharam or romantic comedy Befikre both fail

Also please answer me how long can someone play "trying to find myself roles" 😆 😆
