@bold;I call them 'interchangeable' : change one with the other and you wouldn't notice much. Lack of personality is the major thing....Sara at least is very 'sparkly', thus she stands out from the other nepo kids.
@ blue: So very true. They want the perks but with as little work as possible. The majority I mean. And they also get given miore chances, better scripts/directors... Modicum of tlaent makes them look good because everything they get is 'best of available'. No struggle.
I absolutely agree about Sara. It makes a hell of a difference when u complete ur studies and then come in the industry. You can so easily say that Sara is in a different league compared to Ananya, Janhvi, Khushi, Shanaya etc., mainly because of how articulate she is. I have met a bunch of star kids from the music industry- the ones who are studying something else but have interest in music have that extra confidence and spark like Sara, whereas the ones who just want to get into music have knowledge only about the industry, that too half-baked. 😆
Tara in this case has a plus point because she is an industry professional since childhood, she knows what she is doing/saying. Also since her mom was into grooming and etiquette teaching, she's taught her girls well.
Star kids get the best scripts right from the beginning. Look at Alia. She got a mix of masala and indie films thanks to KJo. That's why she is bagging all these awards. She is no great actor, but she gets the best movies of the lot, so she seems the best. No outsider gets chances like these. Same with Janhvi. She was pathetic in Dhadhak and now she gets a biopic, after which she does Dostana 2 and a Netflix series. Bhai wah sab toh platter pe mil raha hai. The only struggle they face is to get into shape, be trained for acting under big names, get any plastic surgery done. They get the best makeup and styling team since the beginning.
KJo only took Sid and Tara in his films to prove a point that he gives fair chance to everyone. He gave Sid the girl and the SOTY trophy at the end of the film also since there were Sid-KJo rumours. Tara was only in SOTY 2 because that was Ananya's launchpad and KJo wanted to have a non star kid in the movie. He only goes after either actors who have established themselves before or his star kid gang. Tara fell in the first category, thanks to Disney...families and kids knew her.
