A very simplistic explaination ...fits what KJo does for Alia perfectly.

'Problem is not giving pencil box to your child, problem is actively preventing all the other kids from buying their pencil boxes by politics and power, just so that your child can have the best pencil box .'

Agree & copy pasting something I wrote on another thread, since these are the ppl I followed closely

As I am someone who had been industry kid Varun Dhawan fan for a long time have enjoyed the fan fights, showed off his manufactured farzi 100 percent record I would like to share my few cents on this topic.


His 2nd movie Main Tera Hero opens at 5.5 Cr in 2300 something screens & he gets declared as the new IT massy star claims are made by Trade ppl that its the highest opening for 2nd outing of any newcomer completely neglecting the FACT that an year prior a certain Sushant Singh Rajput's Shuddh Desi Romance opened at 6.3 Cr in 1600 screens, no hype nada, the trade takes ages to declare a Dil dhadakne do, Mubarakan or October a Flop and never really tags them openly but a Kedarnath is termed as SSR's Flop with occupancy reports itself though when actual opening numbers come out which are actually decent the narrative is again changed quickly and it becomes Sara Ali Khan's super successful debut....


Its not just about the Fact that somebody as below avg as Alia Bhatt signs films specifically curated for her with tailor made roles that are lobbied/arm twisted her way by Kjo or Reshma it might just be 1 or 2 releases annually out of 250 odd films but its also about the fact that this corrupted a$$holish power structure makes sure ki those are the only 1or 2 releases which will garner all the hype, awards, brands, phoney statements by "veterans".


Yeah their Films flops Kjo can't buy all tickets for beti, but the glaring difference lies in the FACT that her Shaandaar gets declared a BO & Critical DISASTER the next thing Dharma does is arm twist ppl & announces a Heroine Centric Dear Zindagi Starring Alia Bhatt directed by Gauri Shinde with Shahrukh effing Khan as her sidekick.


While a SSR's highly acclaimed Detective Byomkesh Bakshi Flops, from Paani to Chanda mama, every other film of his gets shelved, Dharma's Drive which was touted to be Ryan Gosling's classic Drive's remake a Holi release is turned into god knows what, latkaoed for years and finally dumped on Netflix. Whereas All time Disaster Bombay Velvet ke baad there's a "RK tum sangharsh karo hum tumhare saath hain" kinda wave within the industry with Kjo cheer leading the movement in the form of ADHM (& cushioning of plethora of big wig projects, same as Alia-Kalank debacle scenario)


SSR's Murlikant Pedkar biopic gets shelved coz there are too many army/deshbhakti films are being made esp by/for Kjo's cronies, while a talentless hack super Flop Sidharth Malhotra can retain a Vikram Batra biopic , Sushant coming from Kedarnath and a 160 Cr BB Chichore has to let go his films.


So yeah ppl should STOP blaming just Nepotism bcoz its a combination of Nepotism, Cronyism, Groupism, Favouritism, Lobbying, Snatching brands projects, Maligning image, Exclusion and worst of all creating hoax projects to chock-block an extremely promising self made young star's dates. Despite everything these ppl & stans have the nerve to showcase nauseating level of denial, delusion, insensitivity & desperation.

What a class A idiot.

"Problem is not giving pencil box to your child, problem is actively preventing all the other kids from buying their pencil boxes by politics and power, just so that your child can have the best pencil box " This is on point. Also to add to this.

Kids who dont even know how use a damn pencil will get awarded for best essays because the dad wants the world to think his kid is the best and he can give more pencil boxes to the kid in the future. That's the privilege of nepotism.

But ofcourse, birdbrained Varun didn't admit that then but when he didn't get acknowledged for trying art movies to show his non existent versatility he did make a joke about award shows being brought or something. Infact, he's been crusading against Karan himself cause Karan dropped him for upcoming young superstar Ranbir. Abhay Deol wali baat ho gayi. Whining about it only when it benefits him.

Nepokid vs Nepokid, but to the outsider- 'What is Nepotism? It's an excuse' LOL.

Varun is the last person who should talk about nepotism.. as much as I like the guy, he has foot in the mouth syndrome😆

Ironically, more than Kangana, it's these people who made nepotism talk big.. kind of like chor ki Dari mein tinka

This is exactly what i said in another post


Varun said ki sabne papa se kaha hoga ki pencilbox dila doh..... But you can't tell your papa ki uska pencilbox cheen ki mujhe de doh... Ya papa kuch aisa karo ki usko pencilbox mile hi nahin


But i was honestly disappointed when i heard varun say this. Bec he kind of seemed down to earth to me.. Thats when i realised that they are all drunk on their privilege, some just manage to hide it better


I don't think they honestly realise how wrong is this system. Ulta sabko yeh lag raha hoga ki humein alia ke jaise kyun nahin mila platform. We have to struggle so much.

@bold This is what Adi did to Sushant ...neither started Paani nor let him go for other films and wasted his time. Sush used to repeatedly say that he had some good offers which he really wanted to do but had to let go.

P.S - The Main tero hero comparing with SDR struck me hard. I always thought MTH had some great opening . That's how media imaging , pr, industry chatter works I guess.

And the child who knows the father is doing something wrong like that, quietly supports him because it is benefitting hime or her at the end of the day. The path of doing the right thing is difficult and hard, but it is a path one always have to choose.

The kid only whines or complains when someone else's father is doing better for them.

Not related to this but funny. In an interview Sushant and Kriti played a game where they had to guess which movie certain cheesy lines were from and it was some line from Main Tera Hero. Kriti guessed it and Sushant was like 'Isnt that a song'😆 Referring to the Desi Boyz and having no clue that it was a Varun movie lol.

Excellent post by you, @LiveEatLove! 👍🏼

All the Star kids whom KJo has launched in BW should not talk about Nepotism as they are dumb, barely educated brats! 😡
