Shabana, ratna, Smita all went to National school of drama did not come just like that
Rani too was bad in first 3 movies than she took acting coaching (she only said in interview that her mom told producers do not waste money on my daughter after seeing initial movies)
Sharmila started with satya jit rai who taught her acting
Tabuu had an actress sister and was bad in initial movies from 1986
rajesh khanna was a good actor and got good roles amra prem, aradhna, hathi m,mere saathim, namak haram where he did better than The Amitabh Bachchan etc he was no suhana khan
how kids were brought up in 60s(rajesh khanna, sharmila) 70s(shabana, smita patil, ratna) and 90s kids (konkana, tabu, rani) was very different ok. Their parents would not molly coodle them or pamper them and expected them to be serious about work
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopoooooooooooool

Exhibit - 1.
How were they brought up?
I am sure Rajesh Khanna started working 9-5 as a company worker because he played a union leader in Namak Haram and did not at all sabotage Anju Mahendru's career.
I am sure everyone at NSD gets to act in as many movies as an MP's daughter like Smita, and Kaifi Azmi's daughter. I am sure producers were just completely naïve about their backgrounds.
Sharmila belongs to bhadralokest of bhadralok families, people should read how she got discovered by Satyajit Ray as a kid lol
Rani and Kajol literally belong to a family with three nepo lines and two og production houses thrown in. The oldest generation of the Ganguly-Mukherjees were bhadralok barristers before independence. The oldest of Samarths was Rattan Bai. Kajol isn't as great as Tanuja or even Nutan but continued to get cringe roles in the 90s. But sure, she wasn't mollycoddled (and was raised differently despite being famous for being a rude brat lol).
By your admission, these were hardworking talented people despite having very nepotistic roots. So, why the hatred for Alia/Ranbir/Ranveer/Abhishek? By all accounts, they have some talent and are hardworking. Hardwork and talent doesn't cancel out nepotism, does it?
Bollywood has always been a feudalistic, shitty place where nepotism and/or class-caste privilege are prominent. Unless you are acknowledging the latter, the rage against former sounds hollow af.
