Alia reminds me of the perfect cocktail : all the ingredients are there - box-office success, endorsements, 100 crore films, an enviable filmography - but no-one seems to wanna drink it. It's like her success is a factual thing which everyone corroborates but no-one cares enough to celebrate. Let's face it, curated or not, she has had a dream run at the box-office for an actress who still hasn't completed 10 years. She's had female-oriented films curated for her, big-budget films greenlighted for her, and the perfect balance of critical and commercial cinema manufactured for her filmography.


But where's the craze, the hype, the enthusiasm? Where's the fans on social media and the Internet mapping out their fervour for her? Where's the online keyboard warriors with unmistakable zeal to prove she's No. 1? Where's the love of the masses thronging to watch her?


It reminds me of the elusive star quality. You either have it or you don't. Alia just doesn't seem to have 'it'.

But, people her age and younger do love her.

She is popular among college & school kids. I don't see that online, but irl kids like her a lot.

There's no craze at the moment because of covid and sushant's case and her father's involvement plus the nepotism debtate. Plus there's no box office at the moment. These things have had an effect on her existing success. This year certainly hasn't been good for her we'll see if she can redeem herself before her 10th year.

Do u have anything aganist Alia, minty ji??? Your love for Deepika equals to your dislike for Alia?😆

I agree that Deepika is hugely popular but Alia’s is also no less. Her demographic audience may b different, but u cannot say that she’s not popular or no craze.
