Your world view is silly IMHO. Society is ALL about relationships. Trade happens because of relationships, politics happen because of relationships... Heck, nations were built due to relationships!
Haven't you known someone who's gotten a job becuase this person knows someone? Once there, sucess is solely due to perseverance and hard work. Like I said, give the girl her props!
You are talking about the beginning of her career but considering how her only two successful movies in the past 5 years or so were with Salman, clearly there is more to her success than her " hard work".
If she actually worked hard on her acting maybe she would be appreciated & respected more..her hard work was just restricted to learning to dance better
