Why didn't anyone from Gen Y achieve the superstardom of Khans? - Page 5

yes, exactly,

i always respected him for sticking with his own thinking, which is exact opposite of akshay, it is not about what your ideology is, dont claim something, preach and do the opposite and jump on to everything for mileage and publicity, audience will see through it

tabu is ajay's female counterpart in this, she just keeps under the radar and does her work which is why she has sustained for so long, of course she is a great actor

both will have long careers because they can easily play different roles and smoothly transition and audience likes and resepects them

i mean ajay played rc's dad in RRR and in drishyam he is a father and next movie he will be a lead

even the khans, leave alone these new age actors will not be able to transition so easily

Ranveer is too focused on offscreen image building than onscreen stuff. He has made himself a clown. He was liked for his confidence earlier but he is becoming clownish, wannabe and vulgar now.

He should choose better scripts, focus on acting and stop that over exposure. He seems unhinged weirdo in public nowadays.

Well analysed.

Ajay and Tabu transitioned the best from 90s lot.

Do their work quietly.

Ajay also learns from mistakes fast. He did not stretch the Hindi controversy with Kicha Sudeep beyond a limit once he saw backlash from non Hindi states.

He did not appear in TV debates or interviews for his POV.

He leaves things if they get troublesome. Unlike say, Aamir who starts giving clarifications from his side.

Though giving clarifications is not wrong but at times in a country like India, it is not advisable to keep giving explanations when you know your each statement is gonna be used against you by media, activists, trolls, politicians etc.

Ajay is very clever that way. It is good he is doing dad roles nowadays. Though he has had his moments of doing trash films that did not suit his age or stature. But he keeps going on as a stable, viable actor.

Akshay also gets carried away with attention and has become preachy. He is proud of his fitness, looks, new found political patronage and getting a star daughter as wife it seems.

yeah, he is super smart and also shows he knows how the country works

as you said, explanations and too much talk will only lead you deeper into a hole

deepika has also learnt it, hope ranveer learns from her

i also thought about the hindi controversy, he quickly escaped it

think about his tanhaji national award, it was also not deserved, but ppl will only mention kangana and saif

even tabu was in that blackbuck scandal, is friends with farah, sajid but nobody will bother

So well noticed. That is all because these guys keep quiet and do work, go home, do not speak to media or spam SM.

You are right. No one questions Tabu on her affairs or her being part of Black buck case. Waise Sonali, Saif were also part of it but they escaped and only Salman gets all shoes for it.

Tabu is a smart woman who did a film like Maachis but never spoke on its politics. Or Astitva but never spoke on women's sexual needs. She does her work and goes home. Never tries to project herself as some icon or expert on anything the way, say Vidya or Shefali also speak on issues.

Tabu has never tried to go viral or project self as a feminist icon or speak about Muslim identity.

This is surprising given she is related to Shabana who is too over exposed and gets into politics all time.

Ajay and Tabu just work on acting and leave. Never tried to get books or case studies published on themselves either or portray self as icons or symbols.

Ajay gets National awards from NDA govts but is questioned less as he does indeed act well. Unlike Akki who was faltu in Rustom but got award and it looked obvious reward for asskissing.

Ranveer avoids talking about any issue at all. He spoke nothing on Padmavat protests or hate he got for Khilji act or selfie with Modi etc.

He has been more diplomatic and quieter than Deepika and does not try to speak on causes.

yes, true

ranveer's issue is not preaching but actually the antics he does, deepika's is the opposite

vidya too i have noticed, especially nowadays, she is caught up in social media and does all those reels even shefali, the same. i think they start believing they are the same as the roles they do and preach, like shefali was giving a ted talk the other day on what

sonam is another example, i read that her husbands family business is actually the sweatshop type where there are ethical manufacturing issues and then sonam will preach

Thats so unfair

This is price for being more famous, and having a more famous or over exposed and vocal family.

Salim Khan, Arbaaz, Sohail, Malaika, Helen are all more visible and vocal. Salman himself has often lashed out at media. So he gets more targeted.

Sonam was always useless.

Agreed on Vidya and Shefali taking their roles too seriously and projecting themselves as some feminist icons. Often more viral online than being known for any new roles they are doing.
