Can we equate Alia and Kajol?

--- Both are extremely limited actresses who are called 'great' for no rhyme or reason

--- Both were not-so-popular but projected as the next best thing since sliced bread. Kajol was liked only for her pairing with SRK and Alia's stardom is also not organic

-- Both were given Filmfare awards for not-so-deserving performances like Gully Boy, K3G etc.

-- Both love shrieking like a banshee to prove their acting skills

Any more similarities?

Kareena feels left out.

People are in uproar over Alia having 3 FF BA Awards. Kajols 5 was really underserved 😆

Both have/ had the undying friendship and support of KJO.

Kajol is a mediocre actress, period. Her contemporaries including Juhi, Manisha, Urmila, Raveena and Rani are far ahead of her in acting.

Alia after this comparison, realziing her friendship with KJO can be in danger

I disagree on the account Kajol is not a puppet of Kjo like Queen. Kajol is Kjo friend and his equal. Queen is not.

Kajol is a limited actress, she can only excel in certain roles. However, Alia is an excellently versatile actress, she can play any role with perfection.

She went from doing Highway to 2 States to Humpty/Badri to UP to Dear Zindagi to Raazi to Gully Boy -all COMPLETELY different roles, she nailed all of them & she was praised by both critics & viewers. When i watch a movie of Alia, i forget she's Alia Bhatt, as she becomes the character, such is her dedication & commitment.

Agree with OP.

Kajol and KJo latched on to SRK. KJo at least branched beyond.

Kajol's "acting" was so below average, but she was KJo's first test case of shoving a nepo product down the throats of the audience while deliberately sidelining talented actresses.

Alia is Kajol of the new millenium. Same issues: mediocre acting painted as great, sidelining more talented contemporaries.
