Does Bollywood let 'anyone' in?

Question: Does Bollywood let 'anyone' in?

Does 'real' talent still exist in Bollywood today?

Or, is Bollywood filled with so-called 'wannabe' actors, that make a living off cameos and their sexy image?

Has the importance of acting gone for the Bollywood 'actors' of today?

Your views.😊

I kinna of agree - one more reasons why oldies are getting roles that don't suit them 😉

A whole lot of "anyones" have already made their way in lately. Some by way of modelling, others through bizarre connections, others yet through sheer luck and a handful through "talent hunts."

Sheer luck? why credit luck 😛 most talent shows involves public voting, isn't this luck factor contributed by Voting folks?

Of the lot, a significant percentage provides skin show and utter bakwaas performances.

So true, yet they get to recognition by whom? 😉😆

However, there have also been a slew of good actors, such as Konkona Sen Sharma, Ayesha Takia, Shiney Ahuja, Sushmita Sen (personal opinion on that one), Shreyas Talpade, etc.

There's talent and there's waste. Nepotism hasn't guaranteed us talent before, so a fresh pool of people (Bipasha Basu, John Abraham, Arjun Rampal, Vipasha Agarwal, and others included) could only have been good.

Perspective differs. I haven't seen anything noteworth from the likes of Rakhi Sawant, Mallika Sherawat, Neha Dhupia, etc. and Upen Patel (only name coming to mind at the moment as I haven't seen others like Emraan Hashmi). At least not "acting-wise"

And of the existing lot, talent is few and far between. Many of the actors in the industry have a lot of potential, but haven't developed fully yet. And then there are those in the industry solely because of the name they carry.. because it's certainly not acting capability that is keeping them in business.

Very well said👏
