Its not new for their not to be equal competition in BW, thats just the way it works here. In recent times, there has always been an actress who has dominated the scene. And actresses on the side who fight to compete but don't match up. its take years of work and merit to rise to stardom. Is it because that one actress is more talented than the others? maybe. Opportunity and support? most likely, yes.
I will give you a clear example.
Kareena and Priyanka. Back in the day, Priyanka was never in kareena's "league". but look at her today. Kareena was the industrys darling much like Alia. She had support, connections, great films.
Besides deepika, priyanka, katrina, anushka who I think have earned a name for themseleves...The other actresses you mentioned are not up to par with her yet. Can they work up the ladder and become competition.
Yes, all of them can. Nothing is permanent.
