to be honest, nearly everybody. Only hritik had a good chance. He is a complete package. Arjun Kappor would have been a guy selling vada pav in VT station.


😆

Yeah I think Arjun would never have been able to make it without a star background.

What's up with all the hypothetical questions on this forum today?

Nobody would've looked at them twice...nobody would have auditoned them...they would be selling vada pav...!! 😆

Please!!!

If ugly-licious Shahrukh, Ranveer & no where near Bollywood heroines like Anushka & Rani can get auditions then so can Arjun, Varun & Sonam.

You NEVER know!!

I know right?!
Sonam as an actress in under-rated on one hand because she has been great (Saawariya, Aisha, Delhi-6) - but she's also been god-awful (Players, Thank You)
But at her best, she's good. And deserves credit for that.

If that's the case then Saif, Sonakshi, Kajol, Ranbir and even Varun has gained much more praises for their performances than Sonam.
You sure you ain't biased?

You know all these starkids suck topics got me thinking like If there was no nepotism in Bollywood , B.R. Chopra wouldnt have produced Yash Chopra's films. In turn him or Aditya wouldnt have become directors nor would have Karan Johar. Neither would have Kajol been an actress . So There would be No SRK.
Now that there is no SRK and no Salman [becuase of no Nepostism] in Bollywood, Deepika, Anushka and the likes would never have debuted.
Also because Yash Chopra and Karan Johar never became directors so there would be no YRF or Dharma. In turn Ranveer , Sushant and Sidharth would have no careers.
Just Imagine 😳

Long answer below:
- Abhishek Bachchan
- Uday Chopra
- Tushar Kapoor
- Esha Deol
- Tanisha Mukerji
- Kajol (Yes, she grew into a legendary actress, but back then if she didn't have the family name, who would have auditioned her?)
- Rinkie Khanna
- Sonakshi Sinha
- Varun Dhawan
- Ranbir Kapoor (honestly he wouldn't even get supporting roles)
- Saif Ali Khan
- Arjun Kapoor
- Shadaab Khan
- Arbaaz Khan
- Luv Sinha
- Puru Rajkumar
- Prateik Babbar
- Juhi Babbar
- Riya Sen
- Mimoh Chakraborthy

Remember, I am not saying those in the list above are not good actors. I just don't think they would have been given their first big break or breaks if they were not connected by blood to this nepotistic industry.

-

On the other hand I think a select few showed a lot of promise/charisma/flair that would have got them film offers despite the hypothetical no family connection. Those are the likes of Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna.


Bold part- Kajol might not be conventionally good looking but she has a tremendous screen presence and is magical.
How could you include Ranbir in that list? He can emote, act, dance and looks charming too.
Varun is too young to say anything now. He might prove himself, who knows?

Underlined part- You really think Sonam and Twinkle would have made it? Despite the huge family names, they sucked. Nobody would have given a damn if they didn't have a family name.
