You compared her with Khans. Why will anybody reply to that? This post is about who is competition for Deepika. The Khans were never in competition with Deepika and I don't know why someone would mention them here.

By the way, is there a place we can confirm this definition of superstar from??

I compared DP with Khans to explain how she's is not a Superstar, when DP fans are chanting how she is.😆

No, there is no such place.😆

So many people are called superstars even though there is no one that has reached the level the Khans have. Madhuri, Sri Devi..they were also called superstars. You can think that from that sentiment, people call Deepika a superstar too. Not the way the Khans are.

After all, like you said, there's no place to confirm the definition of Superstar from.

Madhuri, Sri Devi I don't know, because I'm not from their era. I don't have idea about the box office collections of their films.

DP is not on the level of the Hrithik or Akki either. If she had been, then box office collections should show that.

There is no such place, that doesn't mean you will call anyone a Superstar. Should I start calling Chunky Pandey a Superstar then?

Stardom ki baat karte hai, par box office nahi discuss karna, which is directly co-related with stardom.😆

I think Deepika is biggest female star still as of now ⭐️⭐️

Well, I think it's pretty obvious that no one can be compared to Khans, no matter which era they're from. Do you think Mads or Sri Devi's solo films could have collected as much as the Khans do now even if adjusted for inflation?

Akki and Hrithik are themselves nowhere near the Khans. Still, they are called superstars. Ranbir, Ranveer, even Varun are called superstars. And we have established that nobody is near the Khans in terms of BO. So, maybe superstardom is not just about trumping the Khans at the BO. Or if it is, then nobody other than them can be termed so.

And of course, we have established that this is subjective so you can call whoever a superstar. Chunkey Pandey, Shakti Kapoor, Johnny Lever. If you genuinely feel they deserve that title, then go ahead. The point was that you compared Deepika to Khans which is not fair because nobody is there yet and maybe never will be.

I don't see anywhere RK, RS, Varun being called Superstars, and definitely not on IF.

And Khans are not the biggest of all time. There were many Superstars I've heard who commaned a larger fan-following.

Even with adjusted inflation it's difficult to tell whether Sridevi or Madhuri are on the level of Khans or not. Because the way box office works in today's time is different from how it worked in the 90s. Earlier the films had to run for weeks to be declared a Hit. Nowadays the fate of a film is sealed on first day itself.

Hrithik and Akki are nowhere near Khans, and DP is nowhere near HR and Akki.

Akki's Gold took an opening of 24 Crores with a clash. Hrithik's Krrish 3 opened at 18 Crores. They are superstars because they can also pull the crowds to theaters with the right film. Can DP prove herself to carry a film solely on her own?, give atleast a 15+ Crore opening? If she does that, then I will consider her a Superstar. But till then, no, she's not.

No, genuinely don't feel that DP, Chunky Pandey and Johnny Lever are Superstars, and that's why I'm arguing against this false notion.

if you ask me, Deepika is a star in terms of the media b/c of her success with the box office. she has left a mark on screen. but priyanka and katrina can be paralleled to her easily in terms of popularity.

Deepika never had that stardom early on ..and you can see her gains throughout the years. you can see the struggle period she went through and it is inspiring to see. I think thats why she is just up there. she went from a low to high and that is amazing to see.

as for alia..i dont think it is fair to compare her to DP, PC, kat.

she is a popular and promising star but she is not on their level to me.

She most def wll get their someday as will some others who we may least expect to
