The industry has always been made up of film families pushing their own. People like SRK and Amitabh has very rare and even AB came to BW with a letter of recommendation from Indira Gandhi.

People like Kajol, Rani, and Alia wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in hell without their name and connections but I'm really glad they exist. Kajol and Rani were much much much better actresses of the 90s than the outsiders like Aishwarya or Sushmita who arrived on just their looks. Alia is the most brilliant actress of today but her cute childish looks would have never gotten her in if she was an outsider.

Having a superstar father is a curse , the kids would be hyped to the maximum but never live up to them. I think only Sunny Deol was a rare case and Ranbir might become more successful than Rishi

Ajay though doesn't fit into bollywood defn of good looking , he could havw still survived given his acting prowess. Phool aur kaante , vijaypath worked well at BO , also at that time action heroes were liked alot .
same reason why Suniel shetty also worked . His Balwan movie was Good .

Abhishek couldn't have survived given how avwrage he was in Refugee and horrible in Teraa jadoo chal gaya .

From current time Its Arjun ...

Ranbir could have survived may be struggled a bit ... but could have stayed.
He does have the charm and acting ability.

don't think varun should be included in list of alia and ranbir

he didn't have his friends backing him. he even auditioned for life of pi. he got badlapur after auditioning in front of dinesh and sririam. he was most praised in soty, barring that and main tera hero. rest of the films he proved his capability. his ability to pull audience in such film like badlapur which maybe didn't even have good word of mouth. he jumped from different production houses and didn't just stick to certain directors. 9 films so far. all are successful. cant give nepotism all credit now. can you?

rishi was bankable for longer period tho. ranbir may beat him if gets back on track and continues for straight 5-10 years

Kareena would have been successful anyway. The way she overacted, that was the requirement of that time and I think she would have made a place for herself no matter what.

Hrithik would have been in BW definitely. Although I feel there's something bland about him, but he looks great and his dancing is commendable. He would have got a break and would have done just fine. Although the movies made by his father for him are his biggest hits, I think he still had enough skills to survive in an unbiased industry.

Don't think people like Kajol, Sunny, Bobby, Ajay(?), Varun, Tushhar, Abhishek or even Alia would have been around in BW if not for their family connection.

Kareena had a stream of flops and lets not talk about her overacting talent.She sustained due to nepotism.

Salman, Aamir could have got a break in a similar fashion to SRK. Ajay, Kajol, Rani, Karishma wouldnt even have got a break if they were outsiders.

bold:Why?
