They are not rare. Just that they aren't given chances.
Rather talented starkid is a rarity. Most of them are useless but shoved down our throats and given too many chances, handed everything on a platter. Quite a lot of them are ugly also and wouldn't get a second look if they weren't star kids.
Underdog etc is nonsense. History has proven outsiders are better. Rajesh Khanna, AB, SRK, Dharmendra, Mithun, Jeetendra, Akshay, Rajendra Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Hema Malini, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, Juhi Chawla, etc, most of the top stars are all outsiders.
