This is not a post meant to bash her. I am just so genuinely confused as to why I don't like here, when almost everyone else in the world does.
Among her more acclaimed movies, i have watched Dear Zindagi, Highway and Raazi. In Highway, she was good I can't deny that. But all her emotions, her breakdowns did not make me forget that it was an act, and as I saw the appropriate expressions flicker accross her face, I was not convinced. In Dear Zindagi, her acting was good till her breakdown scene in the party. I found it to be over the top and a bit cringey. In Raazi more or less she was good, especially SPOILER when she ran over the servant with the truck. But her breakdown in the end, was again too much and left distaste rather than sadness in me.

She is better than many of her contemporaries such as Shraddha, Jackie, Pari, Kangana etc. But some other actresses like Sonakshi (Lootera and Itttefaq) and Deepika (YJHD and Piku) are just as good as her. Yesteryear actresses such as Rani Preity Kajol etc are leagues ahead of her. So why is she praised as the best thing that happened to humanity since sliced bread? Not that they matter, but in terms of her looks, I find her pretty. But she is the average sort of pretty, the kind you can see around you. Nothinh ethereal like Sona (her exquisite features) Deepika or Shraddha. I did not find her convincing in Kalank, because she simply did not fit the part, but that is okay, cos I don't think Sona could have pulled off an Ananya like Alia did. So why is KJo so intent on shoving her down our throats in every role possible, when it is apparent she does not fit some of them (no actress can do all sorts of roles I think).

Can someone explain this? Responses I see on the forum and even among some of my friends are really baffling me.

Your answer is in your question. She is better than her contemporaries. KJo is a mentor to her and the likes. While he says that he is not a talent management agency, he still looks after them. Even Kiara Advani discusses everything with KJo. However, KJo is not shoving Alia down anyone's throats. She has hits after hits, can act, justifies each role thus far. As for doing all the different roles, i bet its out of her own choice that she doesnt want to be type casted.
Sonakshi has ruined her own career. She has chosen mass masala films over acting ones. A few tries like Akira and such but its too little, too late. But in period films, Sonaskhi has high potential of shining.

Since you brought sonakshi and Deepika , i wanna say , if tomorrow sonakshi does a bhansali movie , many will come here and say that how she sucked compared to bhansali's previous heroine, Deepika

Anyways I do find Alia better actor than Deepika and sonakshi .
While Deepika was given many opportunities, big films , to prove herself, unfortunately sonakshi did not get as many opportunities and films . Maybe if sonakshi was given as many opportunities as Deepika and Alia, good roles, big films , she would have been a hit as well.
She was fantastic in lootera and I find sonakshi a better dancer , then both Deepika and Alia

As for Alia , whatever given, she soared !

Seriously?
Sonaskshi's last ten movies were disaster yet she never had dearth of offers and releases. She got maximum opportunities this decade. She has commercial appeal similar to Sid Ma. Compared to her, Parineeti was the one without offers.

But, but there are no offers from kjo and SLB , that's why she is a floppy
They are only obsessed with Alia and Deepika
What can the poor ladies do, sign whatever comes their way , take
chances , unfortunately for sonakshi she kept bombing the windows with floppy's
