That's true! ... Just the other day I had come across an article which said how Farah picked up Deepika from a "music video" she did with that nasal singer (forgot his name .. 😆) .. So I am sure she must have started from bottom realm with "modelling and music video" until someone noticed her! .. Coming from a family of Padukone may have given her financial ease to assimilate in Mumbai but I am sure she must have had to work for her due!

Himesh reshammiya 😆

Deepika did print ads when she was in Bangalore with the help of her best friend's mother who was a model coordinator. R.Balki spotted her on a B.P.L electronics hoarding and called her in for the lyril auditions at that time he did not know she was prakash's daughter. Lyril ad gave her instant fame even Salman spotted her in that and chased her to cast in Lucky which she refused as she was not prepared for bollywood. She was lucky to be at the right place at the right time and had it a little easier than other outsiders but her family name or father' fame is not the reason for that ease. Even Kriti's story of getting into modelling is very easy breazy when we compare it to other outsiders. But that doesn't mean she n deepika did not struggle 😊

Sure! .. But at the same time you'e oversimplifying and denying the "privilege" Alia abores!
I was watching KR's interview and I remember she said that if "you're good at what you do, there will be tons of opportunity and work in the industry"! .. Now "having any kind of work" vs "having A work" is where the criticism for Alia comes in play! ... Almost all actors and actresses have gotten work post their "flops" ... but not everyone has gotten A-list projects even after their flops thrown in their lap "WITHOUT any effort"... there may be exception but generally speaking most had to struggle and compromise with "mediocre projects" .. not the same case for "ALIA"

It's all hunky and dory for you to give her due she deserves ... but she should also get the criticism she deserves! ..

nah, she gets too much criticism just because she is Alia. Like there is no one in the industry who was giving hits and than after one flop stopped getting quality work. That is bullshit.
I just example of people getting good works despite not going good box office. Alia was having a great time with hits like 2States and Humpty which were her success as much as her costar, so one Shandaar means she would have been out of the race. Logical baat Karo na bhai. Did she bagged DZ because she is Dharma's poster kid? yes. Is it the only reason? No. would she had got it, had she been a flop like Athiya? No.

Alia is lucky no doubt, but to say she only gets work because of Kjo after a point, while disregarding her popularity is meh. Like if Kalank flops, she getting any movie is just Kjo, because one flop destroys all credibility.

Why everyone wants the same path as Alia??
Who knows Kriti might have four super hits this year and the became a bigger star, Kesari becomes a BB, and all next Parineeti movies do well, all Shraddha movies become hits. But still everyone(I mean the forumites) wants the same path as Alia. Kareena also had the same path as Alia getting strong roles, but both Priyanka and Katrina(although she is also kinda nepotism product only) race ahead of her in terms of popularity and fandom. So yes it is possible for others to race ahead of her, despite her getting all the support, she is isn't the lone reason why others aren't doing good.

But that's a different debate again since "talent and also other factors" play a role along with given opportunities! ... I for one don't deny Alia's stardom (which she has created over 7 yrs) nor do I deny her talent .. But that isn't exactly what the debate is about!

Anyways, I do see understand where you're coming from and so do I understand the criticism that she is getting from others ... Some may be giving her overbearing criticism at the same time you aren't given her enough that she deserves! ..

Don't wanna spend anymore time on Alia .. You carry on .. 😆

Deepika's story always makes me proud. Add to the fact that she had to stay away from family for so long trying to do her thing that even now it feels like she regrets and overcompensates for it. And the Lyril ad was really something. Instant crush. Or what every Tom dick and harry is called today 'National Crush of India'.😆 She was the OG! ❤️

Alia fans should be happy, jab log tumhare khilaf bolne lage, samajh lo tarakki kar rahe Ho. Couple of yrs back no one talked about her it was all about Deepika, Anushka. Kat now it's all about her while the rest are hardly talked about, waqt waqt ki baat hai 😆

She lived with Nihar Pandya, not alone. I can understand though, she was 17, scared to be live alone in a new city.

KJo didnt dump Aloo when Shaandaar flopped so Brahmastra's flop wont affect Papa ka affection for his favorite. If BH fails, all blame will go to RK as usual and some to Ayan

LOL at saying Aloo gets work, same as outsiders do...Aloo doesnt just get work, she gets the choicest roles in plum projects, all produced by Dharma, specifically targeted at making her appear as the top star and best actress of Bollywood. 😆
And its oh so convenient to give credit to Aloo for all Varun Alia hits but no credit to Kriti when Lukka Chhupi does well...that is ALL Kartik's jalwa as National Crush of Sara the National crush 😆
Alia sucked in BKD, Varun was definitely better there but still aloo gets credit
Highway wasnt a hit either but KJo hyped her as best actress to cover the failure of the movie

To have a powerful producer/director backing you at every step, covering ur flops, using all his PR machinery to hype all her movies, fudge numbers and verdicts to make her win...No Outsider, in fact very few insiders have had that kind of advantage.

@Pallavi... Why would anyone not give credit to Kriti for Lukka Chuppi when she came after critically acclaimed and decent BO success "BKB"? ... Ofc she gets the credit for LC as much as Karthik!
