Nepotism and the famous trio - Ananya, Sara, Janhvi --, as well as upcoming starlets, have overshadowed the outsiders.
The insiders have no box-office pull but they're all over social media and commercials, which have increased their visibility ten-fold. The way they are highlighted by news portals, of course, increases their brand value, and people are so enamored by them that they forget talented outsiders exist.
Tripti and Mrunal would have easily been much more successful if nepotism didn't exist with a capital N. They are both beautiful and talented and deserve A-list projects.
Can you imagine how Gunjan would have been elevated if Tripti had done it? Or Mili if Mrunal had done it?
These projects went to undeserving Janhvi, who cannot act to save her life.
I am sure even a decade back, these ladies would have got their due.
Nepotism is reigning so fiercely that real talent is relegated to OTT platforms.
Okay, vent over.
U guys can start yours.
Also, may I add that outsiders like Kriti are mediocre, and if we pitch THEM against insiders like Alia as the narrative is going on nowadays, Alia will always come out trumps.
The REAL battle would be Alia pitched against someone like Tripti, then Alia would get a run for her money. But I don't see that happening.
The narrative is so flawed.
Remember in 2007, when outsider Deepika won against insider Sonam in literally ALL ASPECTS?
I don't see that happening now.
I am rooting for Tripti. She deserves good things
I just wanted to point out that Tripti did beat Sara to bag animal. So somewhere to some extent fairness still exists in the industry. Even though Sara has had more hits to her credit.
