In my opinion she is not that popular among the masses. Her stardom is built on movies being offered to her on a platter, and roles customized to suit her. Take away her mentor from her, and she will be no-where.

Lets take a look at some of her movies.

Student Of the Year : Oh My God that was some seriously bad acting by her .

Highway : The role had a lot of potential but I found Alia to be overrated and screechy.

2 States: That was also a really great movie with some really good acting from her.

Humpty : I must say the movie was bad .It was really bad but the major credit goes to Varun Dhawan.She was OK in her role if not great.

Raazi - The film stirred the patriotic mood and did well bcoz of content

Its just that she is in the limelight because
1.She is a star kid.
2.She has the almighty Karan Johar hand above her.

As I have often said, the girl can't act so for me the stardom is a myth but she does have many followers...I can't seem to fathom why or how though lol

myth does not give you one of the highest opening days for a movie shouldered on you..content comes in play later so that cannot be credited to it

SOTY was really really bad
highway was overacting she did look the part but acting was not great
Alia still cannot cry naturally her nose moves
raazi I could not empathise with her as she was bad in emotional scenes. I didnt even see sanju then so I was not a vicky fan still he outshined her

I don't think stardom has anything to do with talent. Her movies work at the box office and it doesn't depend on wom that itself should explain her stardom.

well no matter what Alia does, you guys will always think it is undeserved and overrated, why even bother??
I always knew and also said no matter how good Alia does people will criticize her by saying 'it wasn't that good', 'ABCD factors made the movie hit'' and so on.
Look at this thread, TM opens the thread with the title about her stardom and in the content talks about her acting.
Just goes on to show, people love to down her because it is cool to hate on her and they themselves have borrowed reasons which don't make any coherent logic.

She doesn't have stardom. She's the female Ayushmaan in my opinion. Good scripts fuel her graph. Add to it she has everything else than Ayushmaan doesnt. Film family. Powerful godfather. His connections. A production company which essentially is hers in a way, just there to produce her movies. 😆 So she has everything going on for her. But she doesn't and wont ever have the self-made respect that peers or trade has for people who started with nothing. Even common folks know how there is no equal level field anymore in Bolly. Anyway, good for her. She's a decent actress. Still no Meryl Streep though 😆

Myth is what when you call someone last female superstar when she doesn't have a single movie riding solely on her shoulders.😆
