Has there ever been a star kid who went up the ladder based on their own merit? (as in- debut not provided on a platter, future projects not based on their connections in the industry/not financed by their family)

Can this even be possible for a star kid to achieve?

Hrithik. He would not have been big today if he did not excel in his dancing. He originally was not one so trained.

His father produced his first movie but it was a hit and he improved to celeb status.

Main stay.

Ranbir .He was AD of Bhansali .true he got a big break and the movie flopped .but he shined in that flop movie .won all the awards.then He delivered movies like WUS,BARFI,RAJNEETI ,Rockstar.took risk and proved himself as an actor .gave many BO hits as well .

Then BV,Besharam happened .but he will bounce back

The early starkids like Salman. Started off with supporting role in Biwi Ho to Aisi...then second lead to Bhagyashree, Madhuri etc and later moved to lead roles. Now again returning to his roots ie second lead to actresses like Harshali.

even if they reach the success ladder on their own merit they still will be tagged as star kid favoritism/nepotism...bitter truth

Shahid, Ajay

Their parents were from industry but didnt have that much influence to make sure their kids had very good debut.

Raveena also to some extent. I dont think her dad was very successful

Kajol's family has been in movies since her grandparent's time 😆 Her grandma was an actress. Her mom Tanuja was an actress, and her aunt Nutan was a very accomplished actress. Then her dad and his side of the family were directors/producers...not huge or anything, but still she comes from a pretty big family in movies.

Based on your criteria only Kajol and Shahid.

Even Hrithik doesn't fall into this category because he was launched by his dad. Yes he's a great dancer and all that. But he was launched my his dad. Debut on a platter.
