The Indian Dream- Page 3

You have said it so nicely. I was an ardent Salman Khan fan since MPK days. now after seeing this side of his personality I can't stand him. I have stopped watching BB just come to forum for news. I am happy that I am not his fan any more.

^ Though Salman Khan scares these people with random Bollywood names, I don't think there's any real harm. Ajaz will at the most get small gunda roles. He doesn't have the stature to be main villain. Bigg Boss show gives these people exposure and weekly income. It's good money.

I'm sure everyone has heard of the saying, "It's not what you know, but who you know, that matters." Someone, during our careers, have given us this advice one time or another. And the sad fact is, it's true. Connections, connections, connections. They take you far in your career, whatever it is. As much as like to believe success correlates with hard work, it's simply not true. And the entertainment industry is no different, Hollywood or Bollywood. Actually, it is more evident in the entertainment industry because it's a small world. Word gets around quick and to the most powerful and impactful people. You mess up once, there is no going back.

While connections might not be needed to survive in the US, they are sort of important in India. Ambition/talent and what not is all fine on a piece of paper, but it's very hard to make a name for yourself with those alone. Why only blame Salman, that's simply how everything works in India. It doesn't make it right or kosher, but you gotta be smart and practical.
