Akshay wasn't, John wasn't, Ab sr wasn't!!

There's tons of others from Govinda to Sunil Shetty. Nepotism can only get you a launch, maybe a second film. Beyond that, it's on you. Whatever supporting roles AB jr is getting today is on his own merit. Akshay did the same, as did Saif when their films weren't working.

Athiya for sure. Tiger Shroff too. Arjun has spunk. IDK why people keep calling him names here but Ishqzaade was a hit and the reason was definitely not the story since it was the usual Romeo Juliet inspired tale. It was their acting. Obviously the way it was written and executed on screen was really good too.

Outsiders come to Mumbai, struggle for years, side-by-side they have their acting classes, dance classes, diction classes, grooming, horse riding and what not. They run around with their portfolios trying to get work, some may end up meeting shady people. But very very few get a chance, that too if they are at the right place at the right time.
Honestly, it would be very difficult for most of the current star kids to get the first chance without nepotism.

Most of them

Raj kapoor
Shammi Kapoor (he for me is male Kareena Kapoor. So much overacting and Jhatakna and Matakna for no reason)
Karishma
Kareena
Ranbir Kapoor
Rishi kapoor
Randhir Kapoor

Abhishek Bachchan (although I like him)

Fardeen Khan
Zayed Khan

Esha Deol
Bobby Deol

Tusshar Kapoor

Shahid Kapur

Alia Bhatt

Sonam kapoor and her brother

Suraj Pancholi

Saif Ali Khan
Soha Ali khan


Shraddha Kapoor And her brother

The list seems endless

barring Aamir and Hrithik none for me . 😆

Alia.

She was horrible in SOTY. If not for nepotism she would've never got the chance to prove herself in movies like Highway and Udta Punjab.


But SOTY was hit & very popular movie. And her role was of a dumb rich girl whose only into glamour. Her radha song was very popular. She did make herself noticed. So I wont say its wrong for a person who delivered a hit movie get another chance. Athiya's movie Hero was a disaster. So giving her another chance is quite unfair.

do u know how Marwadis do good business?
they may employ dozens of outsiders.but Accountant
will only be a relative.that way they ensure that money
is not wasted.so their business hardly fails.if it does then too
marwadis believes that relative only benefited not some outsider.
same with bollywood ppl n ab jr.ab jr gets to move in the crowd
of the various parties thrown in.he has a ready network.all he needs to
do is go attend show his face.arre dekho kaun aya aare apna amit ji ka beta.
ash ke pati.kya kar rahen ho beta.kuch nahin uncle ji.oh ho beta ji main ek film kar rahan hoon.
tum ek kam karna sunday ko ek ph karna.ji uncle ji.namastey ji.
sunday comes.trings trings.
haan ji uncle ji u told me to call u.oh haan beta ji,zaara aapne papa ji ko ph dena.
papa ji bhi namastey ji kahengge aab main baat suru.
amit ji aap ke bete me hunar toh hain i am interested to work with ur son.
aisa karte hain 20% hum lagate hain.40% aap laga dijiyen.baki ka bank finance
se manage kar lengge hum.
aab amit ji cnt say no i wnt invest 40% .chalo laga diya for beta ji.
ek aur film ban gaya.pith bhi gaya.yeh hain aapna ab jr.
producer thinks 20% i will take risk.40% toh amit ji se hi nikalwa liya.
aab bank ka kya hain ?public money.doob gaya toh bankruptcy file kar do.
hit huya toh profit.dooba toh producer ka kya?bankwale aur public jaane bhai.

plz dnt think this is limited to only ab jr.har koi who has no talent is giving
flop pe flop yet surviving follows this same business module.becharere mommy papa
bhaiya bhabi didi all have to invest from their pocket to help.hit huya toh investment
safe.warna go to weddings stage shows dance dance.sale boroplus navratna oil n make up ur loss.

ab jr is talented actor of that no doubt.bt hero material?na ji.
he can piggy ride n do well bt solo hit last kaun sa hain?

plz dnt take it in a bad way.not debating nor showing him down.
just telling scenario kya hain.public has no craze for him at all is my simple
observation.refugee is the only movie i liked.

The only good product of nepotism in Bollywood is Hrithik Roshan 😆
The only worthy starkid IMO.

All others were substandard rubbish promoted incessantly despite no looks, little talent.

Can't believe how many movies Randhir Kapoor got just for being a Kapoor.

Or other substandard stuff like Athiya Shetty, Tiger Shroff, Sooraj Pancholi, Abhishek Bachchan (who has no personality to even be a hit TV actor if not for his surname)...
So many more who don't deserve to be here but still are.

Which Actor/Actress we would not be seeing in Bollywood, acting in movies, getting offers after offers, if it was not for their surname, Dads, moms, grandfathers etc etc.


My Pick

Athiya Shetty

Hrithik was one rare case of being the entire package..that even if he wasn't a product of nepotism..he would have been noticed coz he had it all..


Agree. I think Ranbir would've made a mark without his name as well. Not as big without the kapoor name but big enough
