Shraddha has achieved box office success and has chosen right films for her. She doesnt need to be the most talented to be successful. BW cares about hit ratio. Parineeti/Sonakshi/Sonam have shown a lower success rate and thats why audiences dont consider them as successful and will also use that against them sadly. Its up to directors to give them the right opportunities IMO. An Alia or shraddha may bring in an audience the first day, but a films sustains only b/c of content. The audience will support any actress who is successful regardless now days.
its all about numbers.
Deepika became a number one actress after delivering 3 blockbusters in a row. Is she the most talented actress? Alia is eyeing the official number 1 spot with huge releases next year as well. Alia is talented, but people have a problem with her being undeserving of her position at times given the opportunities she gets. Even after all these yrs, she is still trolled over nepotism a lot. But again..numbers dont lie. Because she achieves box office success through good films, she will be more loved. nature of business.
