Didn't everyone appreciated the intellectual feminist song 🥱

Vicky and Disha Patani are engineers by training. So is Kriti if I'm not mistaken.

Amitabh, SRK, John Abraham, Sara Ali Khan, all have degrees from reputed colleges.

The term “intellectual” itself is very ambiguous. You can be well educated but not well-read and aware about general things. You may be a scientist but be socially awkward, and lack wit.

Similarly, someone may not be good/ average in studies but otherwise an all rounder - sports, debates, drama.

I think Saif comes from a good well educated family, has had a good education (sara too). But I think there is still a certain lack of awareness as they don’t seem to be in touch with general public. Like when Sara’s comment on colorism - she has no idea how it affects young girls.

@Zeal - As for SRK, he was top student at St Columba in Delhi, good in studies, played 3 sports and also involved in other co curriculars. He an all rounder and was awarded as such twice in high school (sword of honour). The school itself is very prestigious and if you see the alumini list, has famous people in various fields - from famous physicians like Deepak Chopra, to rhode scholars, Pulitzer winner to Euphoria lead singer (Palash Sen, who had shared pic performing with SRK in school and is also a doctor).

Also - people who have good sense of humour, are witty and sharp do have higher intelligence.

Kaun nahi hai “intellectual” in BW???😆

Lmaooo if he ain’t intelligent, no-one is esp in BW. 😆😆 And witty people are usually, very intelligent. It goes hand in hand, and look up the proof yourself- Watch his interviews.

Also, anyone (except those with strong connections in BW). They would be smart.

Emotional and social quotients are also signs of intelligence. One needs it a lot more than the regular IQ to function in life. Even in the TV industry, wherever there is so much competition. (I’d say getting into IITs and IIMs are much easier than bagging a main role!)

SRK comes across as intellectual to me. Someone who is intelligent and can extrapolate from his own life experiences and opinions to hold meaningful conversations suffices as an intellectual in reality.... you don't have be a disciple of Socrates to pass off as one.

SSR came across as one when I watched his interviews after his death .... on another level.

I thought Kangna had it too before she went nuts.

Soha Ali Khan comes across as genuinely intelligent to me unlike her brother who I would like to classify under pseudo-intellectual.😆

Which brings me to majority of bollywood ..... they love to dress up their otherwise pointless and ridiculous statements with buzzwords without really saying much. More than actors, it's those movie critics like Masand, Anupama, etc. who I find mind-numbingly pretentious!

The prerequisite for joining Bollywood is to be the opposite of intellectual.

Learn few heavy angrzi words and becomes intellectual.

Sara before becoming the full fledged Bollywood-ian was sure for one.

As for her father Saif, he might know eugenics but that doesn't qualify him to be labelled an intellectual for sure.

Rest, Abhisekh, when trying to carry out a meaningful conversation that doesn't require him to cut a sorry picture of having to "wait" for a right debut or not getting "enough" privileges for being his father's son, does come across as one.

Sushmita and Lara among females..

SRK among male actors. SSR was one too
