Yes star kids are given preference but i also feel that they have to face a lot of flak. There's an added pressure of being compared with your famous parent and there's a lot to live up to.

Moreover they might have advantage over others for their debut films & maybe a few afterwards but ultimately its only ones talent which decides if they are to stay or not. If star kids had it all easy then we wouldn't have failures like Kumar Gaurav, Rajeev Kapoor, Mimoh etc.

not really.. yeah, they might face flack.. but you can get away with giving as many flops as you want.. OBVIOUSLY anyone will improve.. so i don't buy that.. sorry..

yeah, but there are others too.. who have made it.. those were bit unlucky because hey, they also lack the look too.. so there is no excuse of casting them.. with others, it's the so called 'x factor'.. sorry swan, it's harsh i know.. but i really can't agree with you here..

these are only a few examples.. how many new comers have survived despite being more talented than many of the other star kids..?! look at the overall ratio too..

i'm not saying that those who don't belong to film backgrounds struggle less........ofcourse their struggle is much more & despite obvious talent find it very difficult to make a name.

My point is that the star kids whether talented or not also face a lot of obstacles. It might not be in the form of running with ur portfolio to every director in town but living under the shadow of one's famous parent can be very daunting. Throughout their career they will be constantly compared with that parent & even if they do manage to prove themselves it will never be enough. I agree they are given many more opportunities than the others but as i said in the long run only those who are talented will survive.

I completely agree with the fact they get preferential treatment whether they deserve or not. But is it a bed of roses for them?........then i don't think it is.

ya can name quite a few bratty star kids who have thankfully mellowed down now.....😉 😆

point in bold - exactly.. that is the whole point.. it's a fact that star kids get undue advantage which other new comes do not get..! i don't have problems per say but i find this really unfair...!

and fact remains that star kids are mostly brats and get away with whatever comments they make while the other newcomers are torn to shreds if they say the same thing..! personally, i agree fully with pragya..

@pksanam......My response was to yours, Kyaktsar & pragya's post (Copied below)........As i said i agree with you & pragya about the star kids getting preferential treatment & given repeated chances regardless of whether they are talented or not BUT as i stated before i also feel that despite the obvious influence they also face a lot of flak because of reasons already discussed.
And i really don't think the star kids get away with the comments they make.......if that was the case then Abhishekh's, Sonam's or Kareena's every interview would not be closely scrutinised under a microscope.

i think i'm getting repetative here so i better stop now......😆 😆
