Lux slammed for selecting someone like Suhana as its new ambassador - Page 5

Lux was endosed by those actresses (also including Katrina)...and by SRK.

As I already wrote...why not try to bring Lux back into focus through using SRK's daughter?

And what kind of reproach is this being SRK's daughter...it may be her luck (as someone wrote) but it is more used as a stain on her personality. At least there is no Karan Johar to profit from mentoring her...

As for the arguments about her looks and her acting performances, screen presence etc...they depend either on personal preferences or because Suhana is easy to make an object of bashing (like so many others here - star-kids also).

I find the whole nepotism debate mainly quite unfair: exception when I get to know that a star-kid gets a role that already had been promised to an 'outsider'.

I believe that no star-kid that doesn't work on the craft will remain as a leading character after many unsuccessful/rejected movies.

Suhana just made a movie with an ensemble cast with a director whose movie got rejected - certainly not only because of Suhana...

If one doesn't like the ad with Suhana, that's okay to me...what I don't find okay are the way the same arguments are repeated again and again, sometimes like if the writer enjoys to make it extra-negative. I find this also repulsive when this happens with other actresses (it's mostly with actresses, less with actors). In my opinion, that is highly judgemental.

What are you on about? I didn’t even use words such as nepo or privilege anywhere

Lux is not a luxury brand or magical beauty treatment but traditionally only top stars known both for looks and accomplishments used to appear in their ads. That's how it used to be in the 20th century at least

So for me the name Lux conjures up images of Hema, Sri, Juhi etc

I understand things have changed as they always do... Maybe Suhana can bring in new customers now

As I said I've moved on from Lux and Suhana.

I may have misunderstood your connection between Suhana and her dad...please excuse...those lines aren't directed at you then (only at those who do the connection I meant).

If people are gonna look at Suhana and buy lux, then the joke’s on them really.

The convo really moved from unfair (nepo) advantage to Suhana ain't fair and pretty huh!

People cannot even legitimately criticise her privileges without body shaming her. Same with Alia.

I have seen posts on this forum making weird ableist comments on a minor Aradhya for covering her face with bangs and then also posts fawning on her looks post the wedding circus thing.

Women and their privileges can be criticised without making their whole existence about their looks yikes.

Also Aishwarya Rai bhi sabun lagati hai aur mere mohalle ki Aishwarya bhi. Lux is tapping into new body positivity rhetoric with a dusky nepo kid whose father has a big fandom and market presence. It's not that hard to grasp lol

Also Aish literally endorsed fairess creams (and so have other hardworking, hustling, achieveing outsiders like SRK, Priyanka, Katrina). https://youtu.be/fesMACX99fU

Suhana at least ain't harming people and giving them body dysmorphia by selling a perfectly usable das rupaye ka lux lol.

After reading the comments an old question has come back to haunt me. What do the top heroines use any way,,? What brands body wash or soap ot whateva ? are they very loyal to them. Do they even try out the ones the endorse

I need a bathroom tour lol

Mostly french luxury brands and aesthecian prescribed exfoliating-moisturising alternating body washes, I presume.

Suhana will keep getting endorsements and roles because of her lineage. All the nepotism kids have an unfair advantage. Some of them with looks and talent like Alia Bhatt have proved themselves. But there is something about Suhana that rubs many people the wrong way as is obvious with the comments on threads about her. It has nothing to do with disliking her dad but more to do with her looks and acting abilities or lack there of.

Because there is no journey or graph, she's getting everything on a platter. From magazine covers, to brand endorsements to movies

Alia came with SOTY, literally failed - disappeared for 2 years and had a huge comeback with Highway. She really worked on herself and overcame her initial criticism. She's still annoying but one can appreciate that she has had a journey. Unlike Suhana who just flutters her eyelashes and daddy makes it happen.

Also I love that Alia is blocking all these other nepos, who had childhood plans of taking over the industry, who would've thunk that Mahesh Bhatt's daughter would ruin it for Sridevi, SRK and other nepo bratty babies

Mahesh Bhatt is notoriously known for being very powerful. He has helped a few people with the underworld which is why no one talks about him in a very negative manner despite his issues being obvious. It's not a shocker at all, but the real reason is because Soni works 24/7 with her children to make sure they're successful.

Same reason why Tiger was sort of successful, Ayesha is a huge stage parent and Jackie has those connections. OFC, Tiger has no talent so his luck is already out.

But honestly Suhana is making Alia's case a lot better. I was surprised when Alia sided with her openly in private when usually Alia stays away from the other younger nepos (and talks ill about them - Alia you're not in a position to say bad things about others) but I see how Suhana unwittingly is aiding Alia's case.
