She literally comes from a politically affluent Nepali family.
She was also launched by Shubhash Ghai.

She is an outsider but her story is not of a struggler.
And she is definetly not a rags to riches story

I missed this the first time but I also disagree on Kangana. Aditya Pancholi was a nobody even when he had work. I don’t believe he did anything for her career. I’m not sure how many movies Kangana did with Mahesh Bhatt but he might have helped her get name recognition more.

Ulta I think Pancholi was abusive towards her. But she still might have stayed with him in hopes of trying to make it in the industry.

Tabu is connected to the industry not just through her sister but also Shabana Azimi. And her sister marrying Dara Singh’s son couldn’t have hurt either.
Anushka is a full outsider but she had YRF backing, not just launch.

Bhumi I believe has political connections and that makes a difference too.

Definitely. Bhumi’s father was an influential political figure in Maharashtra so his connections must have helped her out in some ways.
