Hrithik. Nobody can ever replicate the mania he created by the turn of this millenium.


THIS!! I knew he’ll be a superstar from the minute I saw him onscreen when I was just a child. And he never disappoints till today!!!



Also RK & RS. (I mean just stars + good actors) not talking about Rajkumar Rao etc who are brilliant actors but not big stars.

When I saw RK in Saawariya I knew he’ll be a big star/superstar. Same goes for RS.


And DP! Knew she’s destined for Superstardom when she became Shanti.

I followed Kriti Sanon since Nennokadine and her advertisement with the ice cream company was very popular so i kind of thought she had a spark.

Someone said yesterday that they liked Deepika from first film itself.

I agree it was a dream debut.

Which stars you liked from first film itself?

Or felt they showed great spark from their first film itself?

For me it would be Salman, SRK, Aamir, Hrithik, Deepika, Ranveer, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, who showed spark from first films itself. Solid debuts.

Who else, as per you?

varun, Siddharth, n vaani Kapoor also but then vaani ruined her face by plastic surgery. I liked Parineeti's acting from ladies vs Ricky Bahl n i liked arjun kapoor from Ishaqzaade but later i don't know how their acting skills got ruined. N liked yami Gautam n Ayushman from Vicky donor. Illeana dcruz from Barfi also was very good. Ranveer Singh, deepika, anushka toh hain hi

Dil hai ki manta nahi is Pooja's first film? I do not think so. Did she not act in a film called Daddy earlier?

I thought it was Parineeti. She ruled Ishaqzaade. Arjun seemed useless infront of her.

She did show potential in that one.
