Can a starkid get into BW only based on talent and looks?

After seeing ananya's iv with rajeev masand I was wondering would any producer cast her if she was just an outsider auditioning for roles. She is a very average looking girl with very very bad acting skills. So with these acting skills and looks I don't think she would have gotten a chance to be in BW if she wasn't chunkey pandey's daughter.

Same goes for many other starkids, but are all the starkids the same?? Could atleast one or two of them gotten into BW without the family name? If the same starkids were asked to stand in a line with the normal people and audition would they get selected??

Well I think ranbir, Sara, kareena would have made it.

Btw why does all the starkids always say such dumb things

She atleast looks better than Uday Chopra. Let's give that to her🤣

Her daaaad, you know, her daaad, is very well connected. Though he never went to KWK or did a Dharma film. Such a struggle.

I think Abhimanyu Dassani could have had he not been a starkid

I think many would be happy to launch Navya Naveli-She has the look!

Ananya and Tara too would have managed a lead role.

Tiger has skills-he would have got a break.

See, when you're not a part of the filmy family and have no connections with the industry people, it's a whole new ball game altogether. Leave talent and looks aside, first and foremost you need to have enough confidence and shamelessness to try your luck in Bollywood. Middle class families would never initially support their kids when they will say ki "main actor banna Chahta Hoon". They will either laugh at you, scold you or tell you that what you're thinking is just a pipe dream. Convincing your parents is the first struggle for outsiders.

Then there is the struggle of living in Mumbai. You at least have to do a part time job to make ends meet in such a costly city. The job should be good enough to feed your stomach but also not be too draining to take away all your energy. Otherwise when will you focus on your career in Bollywood?

After you take care of all these things, then only you can progress further. Now coming to the actual struggle, you need to make contacts with the casting directors. Here the outsiders need to have the street smartness to do that. They have to give auditions, they have to agree with the casting couch, they can't decline favors. That's how it is.

Entering through modelling is a good way. But you've to take care of your of your health, body and skin. Eating proper food and going to gym will again cost you a fortune.

Also you need to have the talent, looks, aura and charisma to impress people in the first impression itself. There are 1000s of strugglers in Mumbai who want to get a break in bollywood. If you want to become a mainstream hero, and are from a middle class family without any connections, then doing television is also not a bad idea. It worked for Sushant who years after Akshay is the only outsider who made it without strong backing.

So no, delusional 🌟 kids won't be able to make it, because well, they are delusional 🌟 kids. If they had been outsiders then they won't be them. They will have a different upbringing and personality.

Ananya is insider not a Star Kid

Sara Jhanvi are Star Kids dont know about Janu but Sara has talent

Dont know how reliable AUDITIONS are this all Television Stars are very good on TV but when they entered Bollywood movies they fail to impress lack of screen presence only Rajeev Khandelwal in Aamir is good

Star Kids at least manage to take attention and I think they carry a movie better way than outsider

Everything said and done, ultimately its the producer who decides whom he wants to put his money on and the directer to trust that the actor can pull off what he or she had envisioned. Ananya has screen presence but shes very young and lives in a bubble and it backfires on social media. Shes got some good 3 to 4 films and that will decide the fate for her. U need talent to survive in the long run. Jese tese aap pohonch toh jaoge but survival is hard. Kismat it is at the end of day. And Masand did not bring the nepotism debate. Abhimanyu did because he did not get airport looks😭

Word to your post!

Industry kids r groomed in a way since childhood..they grow up in film world among filmy people..bahar to bas 'study' karne jaate hai..so they r more comfortable, more confident around industry people and more confident in front of camera .also the 'delusional' talks they do..ye hi unki duniya hai.. people talk about what they have seen and experienced..we may find it delusion but for them it is their reality.

Outsiders foremost struggle is finding that connection and confidence...A bit of the struggle is cut off if u have a house n family in Mumbai..but ya they don't start at n equal footing as insiders..

OT : Sara, Ananya, Alia, Tiger, Varun would have made it anyways..Jhanvi not so sure

Oh, looks also isn't a strong requirement. Average looking bhi chalega. Just you have to have strong connections. There should be a money well either your own parents or your mentor. That alone would give them a big launch, really good buzz and multiple chances to improve skills. If they really learn how to act, they will thrive, if not, they will be ridiculed and will eventually fade away.
