If Alia wasn’t a nepo kid - Page 8

Even Kriti said she is jealous of the opportunies Alia get, I don't care what drunkard - druggie Ranbir says or annoying Alia says. It is an open secret that in Bollywood that girl wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for Karen, Aish has mentioned it too. She is very average looking. Isn't talented enough. Has a boring personality that she steals it from other actresses, The is nothing distinctive she bring in the table to make it.

It’s very easy to be a hustler or ambitious when you know that Karan Johar will fight for you.

If there’s one thing Sadak2 and Brahmstra reviews have shown us is that Alia is only as good as the scripts. Without her last name KJo wouldn’t have picked her and without KJo there wouldn’t have been a Highway, an Udta Punjab, and a Raazi. There wouldn’t have been a Gangubai or a Dear Zindagi. And since she’s short, has a baby face, has no sex appeal, and no dancing ability she wouldn’t have been able to follow in Katrina’s foot steps either. Even if she had somehow made it into the industry she would be where Kriti Kharbanda in terms of fame and popularity.

In Alia’s own words, her biggest struggle was telling KJo and Abhishek Varman that she’ll be very upset with them if they don’t cast her in Kalank. So I don’t get how she’s a hustler. She’s an entitled privileged industry kid who’s been extremely fortunate to have Karan Johar use his positions to get the best scripts for her and aggressively market her. As an outsider she would have never had that privilege.

U pretty much summed it all so well with what I feel about Alia and her career.

After all this out on public domain, I am not sure how can she still be called a hustler. Is she hard-working, may be? Is she a good actress, she is decent and can act well if the script is good and directed well. She did use most of her opportunities well and that worked for her. Apart from that, I can never admire her success story coz its just not organic and well laid out by PR and Papa Jo. She got it all and like a good player, she played well and still in the game.

Yes, I do agree that its not a fair world and everyone takes advantages when they have the means but that doesnt mean we cant call out and discuss nepotism in Bollywood coz this is a bolly forum.

Would Taylor Swift be collecting Grammies like trading cards if her dad weren't a millionaire who bought a record label? Would Angelina Jolie be touring Pakistan to tell us how bad it is even though we already know that, if her father weren't an incredibly successful director? Would Maya Hawke's character still be alive in Stranger Things if she were the daughter of not two but one celebrities?

Who knows?

Aishwariya summed it up perfectly.

It’s easy to do good work when you have only good work, good work and good work laid out, not even in front but put in your lap
