It's feels that way partly because we are biased towards the 90s bunch and partly because Gen Zs grew up spending most of their time online that they don't have much of a real personality that they could tap into while acting. The writing has gotten much worse lately so it isn't entirely their fault. Also the 90s was all about stardom and the drama of mainstream cinema. It's easier to be attractive and charming in formulaic films.

Difference is there. Compare Hrithik Roshan with today's Varun Dhawan or most recent Agastya Nanda.

Tushar Kapoor, Uday Chopra, Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Esha Deol, Twinkle Khanna, Tanisha, Shamita Shetty, Bobby Deol, Sanjay Kapoor etc can give current flop nepos some good competition in ' Who is worse? ' category.

ummm they were all bad. they got so many chances before they got to improve their skills. Kareena is a perfect example. Look at her earlier stuff... it was complete garbage. Just like Ananya and Jhanvi. Now that she's remotely okay with her craft she's considered the best. Give these nepo another 10 years they will get there.

Nah...they are all bad. It's just that there wasn't a platform available earlier to bash 90's nepos. Public was starstruck. Now nepos are over exposed and so trained that there isn't anything original or unknown about them. And add to it, they have pathetic acting skills and public have a medium to voice their opinion. Bad music and bad scripts don't help either.

Bobby Deol was very good looking and a fine actor as well, was moderately successful too.


Sanjay Kapoor was good looking and a decent actor as well, atleast was not a horrible performer.


Fardeen khan and Zayed Khan although wooden, but were really handsome in their prime, especially Fardeen.


Shameeta was as good or bad a performer as Shilpa, her sister was, and was better looking than Shilpa face wise.


Rest agree with the other names.
