Star worshipers exist in every generation. Just like every new generation imagines that they have discovered 's*x and their older generation are old fashioned fuddy-duddies. It's just that they have transferred the object of their adoration. It could be cricket,religion,music,cinema,politics. It is human nature to put fellow humans on a pedestal.

They have better voices than the guy whose voice was always trembling in most 90s and early 2000s films and hence got compared to goats.

New guys certainly do not sound like Amitabh or Shatru but their voices are normal and do not get shaky with eeeee..heey heey unlike a certain superstar.

There is no new actor who gets taunts like bakra or hakla for his voice. They have stable voices even if not baritone like Big B, Shotgun or Kabir Bedi. Their voice does not grate on the ears.


Girls have taken over that part..

Sonam, Deepika, Kangana, Ananya...barring Alia and Sara almost everyone's voice trembles..

Anushka's is like Pooja Bhatt..full of anxiety.

Just heard Navya..though her speech and diction was very clear even she spoke with a nasal tone..

Can't get over how she pronounced Nepal

No offense but most actresses have had pathetic or weak voices, worse voice modulation and poor diction, pronunciation.

I do not want to take names but some biggest female superstars' biggest weakness was their voices.

One has to think hard to list even 5 names of actresses who had good voice, language skill and whose voices would make for good listen as narrators.

Some were so bad that for most part of their careers someone else had to dub for them in films.

Keep TV on for more than 6 hours and surf various Indian channels. These days Akshay, Salman, Amitabh and Ajay are in every other ad and almost in your face. SRK is only seen in Denver, some TV ad and Byju's ad or that hair color ad. While others are endorsing everything from atta, rice, cement, banks, digestive pills, ghee, oil, shoes, suits, jewellery, namkeen, chappals, building materials, pipes, loans, chawanprash etc.

In 2000s it was SRK who used to have such high number of ads and was literally in every other ad, in your face on screen and billboards. Definitely had more than 4 products' ads then.

Akshay specifically is overexposed and all over ad world these days as he also features in govt's public service campaigns these days a lot more than other actors.

SRK might not be one of their favourites but they know who he is and have seen some of his films . They are neutral towards him.

If Fan, Zero, Jab Harry met Sejal are any indication, not at all. I think from the older actors , it's Shahid who has managed to connect by reinventing himself from a chocolate hero to angry, angsty image with Kabir Singh.

I doubt if many from post 2000 generation know or care about him, this applies to most of the stars from 90's.

Among 90s stars, Akshay, Saif and Ajay are known most due to their frequent releases and Salman due to Bigg Boss at present. Saif caught fancy of new gen through web series like Sacred Games.

SRK and Aamir do less films as of now, hence less visible to post 2000 generation. They may still be known to 2000-2005 generation but they register less on minds of ones born post 2005, as those kids were too young when RDB, Fanaa, KANK, CDI, OSO, Ghajini, TZP, RNBDJ, 3I, D3, PK, JTHJ released.

As of now Akshay, Saif, Ajay, Salman are so visible that today's generation would not even know other stars were bigger than these guys at any point.

My brother & cousins are all post 2000 born. They all know/follow SRK.

Plus most kids/teens don't even have a Netflix subscription in India.

In fact my cousin would go crazy is she heard an SRK song as kid and is still a fan. she is in her teens.


I have never come across anyone irl that cares about Ajay, Saif and Akshay. They only watch if the trailer seems appealing. Thats all. No one even talks about them.

Not very popular. He hasn't really had a hit in 7+ years and has been already declining since 2008. He is mostly loved by people who grew up in the 90s. He needs a blockbuster movie that connects well with the current gen
