Umm he did become a star with 80% of his films either being commercial or critically acclaimed successes. And YES he was more handsome than any of the male star kids. He was more intelligent and well read than any of the. And got selected as Abhishek Kapoor said for genuinely being a talent not because of his surname. As Abhishek Kapoor said these star kids get selected due to surname and sometimes by chance they end up reasonably talented or if they aren't the directors try to wing the performance out of them. There is a video of Karan Johar saying talent was the last reason he picked Alia Bhatt.
