That's what starkids say too... "Public has to accept you... Movies don't become hit just bcz a starkid is starring in it... Unlike office jobs, actors have to be accepted by the fickle public..."

And Rishi's tweet says "Four generations of the president of the Congress party"

I don't think Congress party presidents are democratically elected by Indian people...



Oh ...my bad! I overlooked the party president part in his tweet. I'd actually meant the representatives elected by the voters here, not honorary party posts. Even RG was elected as LS MP thrice by voters on merit - not selected.


I in fact consider dynasty as the worst form of nepotism. No political party is immune to dynasty as much as bollywood to nepotism.

Rishi assumed that RG's statement was targeted at his family and as always felt the need to retort in his style. IMO both Ragul and Rishi sound stupid here.

As for starkids' remarks that's one hell of a cliched answer to escape the root of the problem and to avoid uncomfortable questions. The basic difference is the no of opportunities passed on to them inspite of their repeated failures. Talent is important, but that's certainly not all that is needed to have the breakthrough.

The omission of kapoor girls in his tweet clearly shows his male prejudice and his patronising attitude to women.

3 out of 4 are.. but again maybe he rates randhir higher.. who knows... it's personal preference.. since any art form is subjective.. I just think crying sexism on every issue takes out the credibility of a real sexist issue.. it becomes the boy who cried wolf!!!

If he is speaking about nepotism ("It happens only in India" part), then he is right.
Karishma definitely was not given a lead role on platter because of her family. She had to struggle. Everyone else in his list were (politics or movies).

You maybe right because he may not have wanted to compare Karishma with Rahul...

Pappu is improving. Almost received pass marks in the toughest exam. While Ranbir is deteriorating further. So that way it's insulting to Pappu to be compared to Ranbir.
