Acting itself isn't taken seriously in Bollywood, as almost all Superstars ever in the industry, get success by doing typical films and roles which pleases their fanbase and general audience. Bollywood star Kids grow up in a surrounding where looks, charisma, body building and PR are the mantra of success.
Why will star kids consider acting important when they see Salman who always plays himself in movies being at the top. Acting was never important in Bollywood, it was a secondary thing.
Another thing is star kids see acting as a career, just like we common folks see engineering and medical. Families expect us to become an engineer or doctor because every tom, dick and harry wants to become one, even if we are completely shit at Maths and Science.
Star Kids too have a pressure to live up to their parents legacy. They will be considered a failure if they are not as successful their parents, and in India where actors are worshipped, no other career can top that. Star Kids too get mesmerized by the glitz and glamour of film industry. I mean you get paid in crores and adored by millions just for acting? Who will not want such life?
The failed star kids might also have some dreams and passions, completely unrelated to Bollywood, but in the end they too gave priority to money and social status just like we common people.
