Oh please, this has been going on for generations. Salman and Aamir both got into Bollywood thru nepotism. That doesn’t mean Aamir isn’t talented or Salman hasn’t worked for his place as a superstar. Alia may have gotten a chance to be in SOTY because of family connections, but her performances in Raazi, Highway and Udta Punjab prove she has real talent. Plus she’s got attractiveness and that kind of “stupid cute” persona that allow her to do well in commercial films like the Dulhania films, Two States, etc. She may be Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter, but she’s a good and versatile actress in her own right.
Yes nepotism has been around for ages...Why Salman/Aamir...it was there right from Rishi Kapoor era where his father launched him with much fanfare in Bobby...But outsiders could coexist too...AB did with Rishi, Shashi Kapoor...SRK/Akki did with Salman...Priyanka did with Kareena...But in Alia's case NO..Because if a talented good looking outsider comes to front, she will lose her crown in no time...because yes she is MEDIOCRE...in every which way...Never ever BW had such a below average looking girl with sex appeal of a 12 yr old boy as No;1 heroine...Not to talk about her one-note, screechy, nose flaring acting...Kjo eliminates competition since Alia she cant stand against a good opponent..glamour wise or acting wise...or even dancing wise (the joke that was Kalank)
You are acting naive or didnt read any posts on this forum...No one talked abt SOTY...ppl talk abt wht happened after SOTY...kjo and Ranbir calling up Imtiaz to cast Alia in Highway as soon as they got to know there is a script...Imtiaz wasnt convinced...who will be after her horrific performance in SOTY..But kjo wont budge...Just like that from Shandaar to Raazi to Dear Zindagi, the directors will have someone else on mid...But kjo makes a call for Alia and agrees to produce the movie or even rallies up his friends to produce..Coz Vikas/Meghna/Gauri won critical acclaim..he makes sure ONLY Alia gets to work with best..who can forget Udta Punjab...Parineeti was the selected one but Kjo offered her one movie with Ranbir..Parineeti drops out of UP and Alia takes over..Later Kjo shelves Pari's movie and announces Brahmastra...Kjo checking with Zoya from time to time and makes sure ALIA WONT GET A raw deal in Gully Boy..God knows how many more..
dont even get me started on her personal life shenanigans...using Varun for PR and almost breaking his relation with Natasha...Using Sid as trophy bf to be in news..faking as Kat's bestie to woo RK...finally kjo convincing Neetu she is the right girl for RK after Rankat breakup...never in history of bollywood,there's been a more cunning duo...Dunno about others but these two shall soon face their karma...no two thoughts about it
