Saif is a good actor even better then the 3 Khans, Hrithik. Either he get bad scripts or does not have script sense.


He has the versality which most of the BW stars lack.

Soha doesn't have a career. She has a debut and a movie here and there. Hardly the case with Saif. So why the discrepancy?

She had a career, not a great one, when she started out. She is an ok actress. Saif is a good actor.

So what I am saying is that, while I do think nepotism has helped Saif (particularly when he started out), he is still getting work because he does have talent.

For some when it comes to Hrithik-related news, even Uday Chopra would be touted to be smh 'better'.. yeh toh phir bhi Saif hai.. with a "self-earned" prestigious NA 😆

Right, makes total sense.


The fact is Amitabh was over by 1986.tops.and 90s saw his ABCL flopping. It wasn't until KBC in 2001 that he saw a reinvention.


SRK ruled from 1995 to 2015, give or take, as the no 1 star, Not even Aamir or Sallu Bhai could stop that. That is just a fact and the box office records speak for themselves. Please don't let your anti-Khan bias blind you to that fact.

Why start with 95 and end with 2015? 😆

Must say you are being very generous.

1995 DDLJ came but has been followed by a string of flops and a dull period. His real stardom started with KKHH in 1998 and ended with OSO in 2007.

After that he has had one after another damp squibs starting with RNBDJ, Dilwale, MNIK, JTHJ etc. while the other two Khans kept giving one BB after another like Dabbang, Lagaan, Ghajini, Wanted, Ready, Kick, Dangal etc.


Your generosity doesn’t extend to the India’s only Megastar? You ended his career at 1986 when he has had hits as well as critically acclaimed movies every year until all the way till 1992 with Kudha Gawaah?

Baghban too..Salman's guest appearance wasn't the draw there...the two aged leads were

Why isn't Soha relevant and getting films coz of nepotism? Is she adopted? Just curious coz that's your #1 point. Funny how it works for one sibling but not the other 😉


Because she has no charisma or quintessential heroine look. Lacks acting skill worse than her bade bhaiya!


Atleast Saif can somewhat entertain with his comic timing & one off performances like from Omkara or Tanhaji; Shes just bland.


And very possible reason could be Shes happy being home and raising a family!

And that's what I'm trying to say as well. Nepotism only gets you through the first year. That launch mainly. After that it's all you.

Nope! Soha's last movie released in 2018. She debuted in 2004. She worked for more than a decade despite being rejected from the start.

Saif is talented but don't downplay nepotism to uplift your favorite.

Acting skill. Saif has plenty. Hrithik is a great looker, but if roles are treated equally in Hindi version of Vikram Vedha, his deficiencies are going to badly show when he is up against Saif.

Saif's deficiencies got exposed in BNB2 up against Pankaj Tripathi.
