Do people confuse insiders with 'star kids'?

I stumbled upon a clip of a recent interview of Aditya Roy Kapur on IG and read a comment addressing him as a 'star kid'.

That certainty isn't a term I'll identify with him. Yes, his brothers are in the same industry as him and he has connections. However, the term insider and star kid are used interchangeably which isn't projecting the correct image.

What's your opinion?

Well everyone's images are different and we are entitled to see things differently.

For example ARK has 2 brothers in film business. If someone wants to say Ranbir and his situation is different they can. But for me its all the same. You know someone in Bollywood or are related to Bollywood. Its no difference.

ARK is prob one of the people mentioned among *star kids* with real clout. Big bro Siddharth's net worth is in the billions which he invests in the entertainment business. How in the world can Aditya be considered any less influential than your random star kids, even if they are more of a household name like Ranbir or Alia or Sonam or Hrithik? At the end of the day, Bollywood operates on cold hard cash.

If you're cribbing about word choice, I suppose you're technically correct. But either term stands for clout, and an insider like ARK has plenty more clout than most actual star kids.

What HearMeRoar said 👍🏼

Plus ARK’a mom was an actress once. So technically he is a star kid.

No but people do confuse what a star is.....anyone exceptional in their field is a star....like SRK is a star producer....so ARK can be considered a star kid.brother.....is Salman a star kid...absolutely....Saleem Javed were a formidable duo at one time....the movies use to run in their name....so ya Salman Khan and Farhan Akhter are both star kids....

The we have the industry insiders....like Ranveer who had an access to BW and sometimes maybe even more than star kids...

I think star kid has become kind of irrelevant unless you network well and are close to some camp, i mean shraddha is more of a "star kid" than shanaya (defintely) or ananya.

shakti kapoor has done tons of movies and padmini was a top star.

jackie, anil were stars
