It is not about fading away.
It is about successful people with good careers, who were among top brass in their time but are irrelevant now. Never mentioned much, neither their films have aged well and many cannot understand how they became stars in first place. For eg., Rajendra Kumar was one of the most successful stars, first true jolt to Dev-Dilip-Raj troika and was Jubilee Kumar. Yet he is irrelevant now and most can't fathom how could he become a star! Songs and heroines from his films are more popular than him.
There is Nalini Jaywant who was very popular, talented, had good BO record and once beat Madhubala in a beauty poll. Today no one talks about her except classic movie enthusiasts in film blogs.

Which star do you think will become irrelevant in future? Whose stardom/career will rarely be mentioned or elicit "How did he/she become popular" type reactions?

(Just general discussion. No bashing/fan war intended)

It is so difficult to think who will be irrelevant because I cannot think about how people will think 20 or 30 years from now...or what would be important for them after 30 years...Right now I am trying to think from the Khans, Hritik, Akshay, Ajay, Ranbir, Ranveer...and I am not able to fathom anyone of them becoming irrelevant or not being remembered...I am sure in the era of Rajendra Kumar if this same question was asked...no one would have come up with his name😆
BTW very nice topic Skep ji...makes one think hard...👍🏼

Among heroines IMO it could be Rani, Preity, Kapoor sisters, Raveena Tandon, Juhi Chawla. Might be remembered for a performance or some look but mostly they are going to be clubbed as one of the many starlets irrespective of their oeuvre.
Among men I think it is Akshay, Saif and Ajay.

Amongst heroines, (from the 90s onwards) it'll only be Madhuri, Kajol, Rani and maybe Kareena/Katrina (for their BO hits) who will be remembered. The others will mostly become irrelevant. Heck I think even Vidya might not be remembered, except maybe when TDP and Paa is mentioned.

Amongst actors from the 90s onwards, only Khans, Ajay (for his performances), Hrithik and Ranbir will be remembered. Others will fade away.

Among heroines I think Madhuri, Kajol, Aishwarya, Kareena, Karishma will be rememberd. I am not sure about Priyanka or Katrina.
Among the heroes, Salman, Shahrukh, Aamir, Hrithik will be remembered, can't say about akki, I don't think ajay or saif or anyone else will be remembered

Atleast relevant in nostalgia. What I meant to say is that they won't figure much in discussion in future. (IMO)
