It's so difficult to distinguish Shanaya from Ananya, or Nysa from Khushi. They all look alike, dress alike, and pout alike. There's not an inch of individuality which sets apart these wannabes. Dare I say, they even act alike with high-pitched voices and trembling upper lips to signify their disturbed states of mind.
It's almost as if they were all manufactured from the same Bollywood clone factory, each one carefully crafted to fit into the industry's narrow definition of beauty and talent. But perhaps it's unfair to place all the blame on them - after all, they are simply products of a system that values conformity over creativity.
Kim Kadarshanian herself would be swamped with confusion if she tried to tell them apart. But on a serious note, it's time for Bollywood to move away from the cookie-cutter approach to talent and embrace a more inclusive and diverse industry.
Look at the 90's heroines, each one of them unique, each one of them beautiful as well.
Even in 2000's, Katrina, Deepika, and Priyanka who all achieved success looked different from each other.
I'm not being nostalgic when I say this, but objective. Even Gen Z commented on that clip which shaitu shared of 90's heroines, saying they all look different from each other and sparkle with individuality.
How can we truly discover the next wave of talented actors and actresses who will capture our hearts and imaginations, if we don't break free from these constraints?
What is it with people born after 1995 or 1996? Why are they so obsessed with conformity and sameness? It's a trend that we see not just in Bollywood, but also in other industries and social circles. Perhaps it has to do with the rise of social media and the pressure to fit in and present a perfect image. But this trend is ultimately harmful because it stifles creativity and limits the potential for true talent to shine through.
Lemme conclude by saying plastic nepo beauties are not completely worthless, but definitely harmful for the environment.
