Even Deepikaās controversies people were divided. Now I donāt like Deepika at all but I canāt deny sheās a star. Same with Katrina, Priyanka and Kangana in their peaks .
With Alia, itās fake and fabricated. Itās clearly a lie. Granted her acting improved, she went from being awful to average and was hailed as the next Shabana Azmi because of it. Her performance in Raazi is a disgrace to top performances that other actresses have given. Compare it to Black, Kahaani, EV, Fashion, Queen.... thereās a clear difference.
Her number 1 status is clearly fake and her winning awards for Gully Boy is proof of that. How nauseating has it been seeing Alu-Sanju-Deepu and Ranveer all seating together and pretending to be this elite group who make background deals so that one Person from each couple wins. Or letās let Alia-sanju win for now and then next year we will reward Ranveer. Thatās what they did with Padmavat, letās give it to Sanju instead and next year Simmba can get it for Gully Boy
Still not able to understand how Alia could win for Gully Boy.
They played god with the industry and now the truth is out and the audiences are going to decide the narrative from now on. If we want to make Kiara or Shraddha number 1. We can. The point is that audiences should have the power not Ranbirās Sasurji Johar
