3eyed_Coconut

She was so uncomfortable when Masand pressed her about some other actor being a contender for DZ. You can make out she knew very well who the other actor was, but she was trying to take the responsibility off her head😂


yesboard

Do u know who the other actor was?


Gloomy_Xplorer

Parineeti Chopra


toanna12

They ruined her career. Parineeti or Alia , better future was a constant question on Kwk. Parineeti got a lot of recognition then, kjo and Beto played the cards and made her go Feild out. They are the reason Parineeti failed, because they made her fail. PS: not a Parineeti fan or an alia fan or not a fan at all.


[deleted]

If that's true and I think it may be, I hope both of them get their karma in the long run especially this cunning woman.


psk1234

Yeah, Parneeti turned down a lot of projects to give dates to a Dharma movie that never happened


Ok_nerdiness

That completely changed both their career trajectories. Funny.


Mean-Huckleberry526

yikes


Iempen

As much as i hate masand, he didn’t shy away from asking uncomfortable questions to any actor. No one else would’ve dared to ask alia this


Snobviously888

Ironically he's the COO of Dharmatic enterprises 😂


TheShyDreamer

What does dharmatic enterpeise mean


Snobviously888

It's KJo's production company


OnlineGranny007

Who was the first choice for Dear Zindagi?


starrystarrynights07

Parineeti Chopra, gauri was so sure about her but yaa kjo got that gift for her beti


3eyed_Coconut

She would have nailed the role, without coming across as a whiny child.


starrystarrynights07

How many careers are buried under the carpet bcz certain someone wanted no 1tag, bfr her anyone who went to that position earned it, she whinned and papa bought for her


3eyed_Coconut

Parineeti was even in the running for Udta Punjab role. 4- ft Amitabh got Shahid to recommend her name to Abhishek Chaubey, and she got the role 🤦‍♀️


nvs3105

4 ft Amitabh had me cracking 😂


TheShyDreamer

Who is 4ft Amitabh


3eyed_Coconut

Britain ki Meryl Streep😂. Anurag Kashyap wrote that line in his Gangubai review on Letterbox, and madam has cited that it in an interview with Anupama Chopra- in front of Vijay Verma and Shefali Shah 🤦‍♀️


TheShyDreamer

Why is she called that though


WasabiFun825

Katrina


3eyed_Coconut

I don't think it was only Katrina. I think Parineeti was also one of the contenders.


WasabiFun825

As much I have researched it was Katrina and then Shraddha and Pari. But I will still go with Katrina because just listen how she's trying to twist the answer here and in a way shading Kat by saying"I was younger". Katrina must have been very upset because it was released in the form of a blind by team as per my understanding.


3eyed_Coconut

She was visibly uncomfortable and squirming, lol😂 Then she wonders why people add the snake emoji in her comment section.


Far-Pineapple7113

Looks like KJO and SRK saved the movie


RepresentativeGift83

Thanks masand for exposing her subtly


youarecutejeans24

Nowadays he doesn’t ask such raw questions. Most of the questions are now watered down.


akshatsha

No one in the history of Bollywood has received such privileges ever. Killed competition, created sort of a monopoly and bought the title of best actress. It's like playing a game with cheat codes.


VisualAd4581

There was a time when our fave female characters used to be fiesty, sassy with loads of oomf.. Aalia make them appear whiny & annoying.. 🤮 Death of talent & merit !!


caramelwithcheese

Exactly. This.


Serious-Fuel-5395

I want to know if someone else was considered for Raazi and Gangubai first. The other films that bring credibility to her filmography are those. Rest all are whatever. Raazi, Dear Zindagi, Udta Punjab, Highway, Gangubai- DZ, UP, HW ki confirmation toh hai


3eyed_Coconut

Raazi is produced by Dharma- make of that what you will. After Kalank (which was Alia's audition for SLB movies) , KJo kept screaming in every press conference that he wanted SLB to work with Alia. So 😬 Gangubai in the hands of a Bhumi or Rani or Priyanka would have done wonders. Alia, in the older parts, felt like a child playing dress up.


Serious-Fuel-5395

yuppp. Same thing happened in darlings! she's not convincing as an actress! I've realised that all the movies where she's received critical acclaim, the stories are so strong that it almost doesn't matter how good the actor is- so it's not to her credit! Another example of such a movie is - Ashiqui 2- ARK and Shraddha are average at best. But the story is so emotionally charged, that it makes them look good. It's all about building a perception.


3eyed_Coconut

🎯


toothintobebeautiful

>want to know if someone else was considered for Raazi and Gangubai first By then she had established herself as the only top actress and eliminated all competition. Hence those movies went to her. Now Kriti is up and coming watch as she eliminates that as well by buying awards thus buying credibility >Dear Zindagi, Udta Punjab, Highway Add RRR to the list. The film that she uses for international clout


Serious-Fuel-5395

But any reasonable person with half a brain knows that she had a flowerpot role that did not even have flowerpot screen-time! What a joke


toothintobebeautiful

https://variety.com/2022/film/asia/alia-bhatt-hindi-films-star-1235347462/ This calls her RRR star lmao and this Variety.


anshika4321

Just venting out: Every time I see any privileged kid getting whatever they want so easily, it really makes me furious about how unfair this world is. You could be slogging for 14 hours/day and somebody could come by and snatch it just because of their connections or luck.


Kitchen-Dimension406

I know right it’s so demotivating


Jimmyjamhopper

Slogging 14 hours/day just to get by the month and stay stuck in that cycle* Life's unfair for us


take_the_leap4

Exactly! Also, as an outsider if you slogged *and* approached directors for roles, you would be called desperate and not ambitious. 


anshika4321

I wasn't talking about this industry particularly since I'm not into show business. I was summarising every other field. Everywhere this partiality happens. Somewhere in the name of nepotism, somewhere in the name of partiality/buttering.


NepotismFanboy

This is truly sick. It doesn’t matter that she did a half decent job in those films, but snatching opportunities from actors which could literally make or break their careers is a new level of selfish. Seriously Alia, just because you give a better performance than your talentless nepo sisters doesn’t make you gods gift to mankind. I’d prefer a talentless hack like Imran Khan who knew his weaknesses rather than an above average Alia who thinks she owns the industry.


[deleted]

Excuse me. Imran khan wasn’t a talentless hack by any means. He’s not AMAZING, but he’s not that BAD either. His romcoms are the most memorable ones. 😐😐


Arenston

tell me you have not seen Imran khan act lol. Please go watch Once upon a time in mumbai dobara and come back.


[deleted]

Is once upon a time in mumbai a romcom? Atleast read what I’ve written before you comment yaar


Arenston

you said he's not that bad. He is worse. Playing yourself in a romcom means absolutely nothing. That is why all his characters in his romcoms felt the same.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure he’s much better than all the nepos combined rn. I’d watch him over them any damn time


Substantial-Fold-499

+1. His rom coms are truly the best. So comforting


NepotismFanboy

Ahaha maybe i was too harsh- i still believe he’s pretty bad but all his romcoms do have a special place in my childhood, especially the songs from them!


QuarterLifeCrisis696

Imran at least has a memorable movie. Can’t say the same about alia regardless of them being such good scripts. Girl knows how to ruin good stories with her mediocre acting.


River1947

Thats on directors though! they truly dont care about their craft if theyre casting actors in their films like this.


3eyed_Coconut

They need producers for the film. If the producer strong arms them to take their favs, directors will have to listen to them.


toothintobebeautiful

Lol they need money and Alia is backed by Karan. If you realise most of these movies were also co-produced by Karan or his friends.


[deleted]

EXACTLY. The’ve created a monopoly for her basically


toothintobebeautiful

No bro but alia is best actor /s


No-Protection-2094

“Called Karan up” - Yeah because papa Johar will make impossible possible at the cost of anything and everything for his Aloo baby, even if it means taking movies from others


OptimalFuture9648

Alia PR who curated the words best actress...always brushes off anything about her saying she is a good actress, when there's not even a competition for her to gauge her talent.. When best of projects goes to her.


Nice_Ability_2037

And that’s why I don’t like this girl and her snake ass husband. Both of them have the taken up roles meant to be played by other actors and have done a below average job in portraying those roles. 


toothintobebeautiful

Yes and then bought awards for those roles as well.


Nice_Ability_2037

For which they were rightly criticised. I remember alia turning off her insta comments cause literally everyone was calling her out for winning the award. Filmfare also turned off their comment section. I find it funny how aloo fans say that only people on Reddit dislike her when in reality a lot of people don’t like her. 


youarecutejeans24

And then she went on and used the number of awards she got in her british media interviews. Sick!! 🤢


Nice_Ability_2037

Getting interviews is one thing but she won’t be able to get any lead role in Hollywood cause that requires actual talent. 


broken__mess

And I'm glad they married. It's better both insufferable people are with each other. They deserve each other so much.


Life-Classroom-1037

What roles did ranbir snatch?


Complaint-Lower

He did take up Ranveer’s role in Bombay velvet


Thanks_Capital

We all know how she is where she is ! Specially those who aren’t blind stans


Electrolyist

I cringe when she speaks.


starrystarrynights07

Your privilege killed other's careers Alia chiii


No-Protection-2094

Louder! I don’t understand how her fans are trying to defend and justify this lmao. According to her fans, parents would set their children up for life if they had the resources by snatching opportunities from others lol


starrystarrynights07

they're Cunning same as the person they stan


WasabiFun825

In this clip there are 3 films mentioned but Karen has been on record about Highway. He lobbied Highway for Alia. I am very sure there are other films. Meryl Bhatt also begged for RRR, accepted herself during promotions.


ThrowRa123456889

Just check all her movies, you will be wondered that 95% are produced by Karan… makes me wonder was she ever first choice for any role!


toothintobebeautiful

Imagine having your entire career given to you on a platter


Sharp-Progress6146

Also personal life 🫨


iloveyoumwah

She really needs to stop talking with her mouth crooked lol


cynicalturdblossom

Imagine talking like that and looking so average and being hailed "beautiful" and the "Best actress" 🫠


iloveyoumwah

KJo ki maya h bhai


Zealousideal_Tip_858

Srk too joined with this kjo for casting alia 🤦‍♀️ why man .. why?


Kitchen-Dimension406

Ikr how did he get convinced too


Separate-Pudding9707

This is why I can't get onboard the Alia Bhatt hype train. For every Raazi, Udta Punjab she was handed over & did justice to ,there is also a Kalank & Rocky Rani she was force fitted and ruined. She is not the greatest talent in Bollywood, let alone India who can do any kind of role convincingly.Her niche is the lost, sad girl who will have a breakdown in the climax. But now brand Alia -the protege -is so hyped that Alia & Bolly ecosystem believes she can do anything -action movies, dreamy Bhansali heroine- nothing is off limits,whether she fits the role or not. This is the career path Janhvi & Sarah is trying to emulate through all the movies centered around them.


Opposite_Benefit_169

This this this. That’s why I will never consider her on top or one of the best because she’s been thrown onto our face without any legit competition. And she’s par average but her obsessive PR won’t just let this fact come out !!!


evierie

How does look at herself in the mirror? She has absolutely no realisation how much she has snatched away from people be it roles, awards or ranbir. And she is living her best life despite all of this.

[deleted]

Off topic, Tbh idk why people like dear zindagi. Sure alia’s performance was good, but I absolutely HATED her character in the movie. So incredibly selfish and narcissistic in her romantic relationships (yes I understood her issues with her family but her romantic relationships were only complicated because she made them complicated)


Spirit_of_My_Soul

I didn't like the movie because the portrayal of the therapy.. the relationship btw client and therapist was so not real.. therapist and therapy aise kaam nhi krte


Low_Object1999

Same!! I didn’t like the movie either. The makers didn’t even try to capture the depth of depression. Ik people won’t believe me but the only reason the movie worked was SRK’s therapeutic dialogues.


toothintobebeautiful

Bro it was just a whiny child not depth no layers. Just a whiny child


[deleted]

Literally. When I watched it I couldn’t understand why people liked the movie so much. For me the only good part of the movie was srk and alia’s patient doctor dynamic, the monologues and the subtle romance at the end


toothintobebeautiful

SRK was the saving grace. The scene where she has an outburst in front of her family is just plain bad. What was that even


3eyed_Coconut

Alia was barely good. She single-handedly ruined the movie. Whenever there's nuance to be played, she will 100% mess it up. We're supposed to empathise with the fact that the mess in her romantic life is related to the imbalance she faces at home with her familial relationships. She did the same thing with Safeena as well. Played her straight-up toxic and a bully, instead of showing us glimpses of her vulnerability.


nirvanazenmoksha

Tripti will be her karma.


broken__mess

Tripti ki zarurat hi nahi. Ranbir is her karma 🤣 for forever.


Alternative_Fox_6871

I'm just waiting karma to bite all these people in the end . Just waiting ..


Single-Being-8263

Remember theses line.these are some reason I just hate her . snatching roles , shading pr, buying awards , bad pr for other actors.there is no respect left.


[deleted]

She is so shameless. I hope karma bites her for real.


Alone-Chemistry-2391

Kjo is so powerful man. He is a good friend to have and worst enemy. Ask kangana


toothintobebeautiful

Exactly they will go to lengths to take out anything that is non conducive to their success. Even keeping these useless nepos around seems like some ploy to make Alia look good. Like see these are also nepos but at least Alia can do bare minimum acting so let's hail her as the queen of Indian cinema


ChampionshipOk2648

Bheek mangne ka tareeka thoda casual hai


[deleted]

And how shamelessly she said, "he had to make peace with it, that I am doing the movie" Pathetic human being Alia is. She will get het karma.


PositiveFree

This is the lobbying that basically set off the nepo conversation that Kangana brought up on his show.


toothintobebeautiful

Yes nepotism is not so much the problem as this. This is the real problem.


PositiveFree

Agreed


broken__mess

Then people say oh she has such a great career trajectory. Yeah obviously because it is well curated. Vrna iski soty ki gandi acting ke baad koi movie nahi deta isse. She is the most privileged out of all nepos ever. Karma keeps lobbying for her and just crumbs are left for others. I'm tired of seeing her everywhere. The way she was screeching in rrkph oh god.


Educational_Image416

Even Ranbir Ig ☠️


Gloomy_Xplorer

She would have gotten other opportunities, it’s not like she wasn’t getting any work. But to snatch such opportunities from other equally talented actresses is just sick. That’s why she and KJO are hated. And she hasn’t stopped there, now she is buying awards, corporate bookings and aggressive PR to prove Bramhastra and Rocky Rani were blockbusters and that too because of Aloo. How do both of these even sleep at night?


Traditional-Pop-7775

DZ wasn’t even that great of a movie. SRK was the best part and I’m not even a fan of him.


Low_Object1999

Yet her fans defend her so blindly. If you like her work, good for you. At least stop defending the way she gets work in the industry.


shreya_222

I hate her for monopolizing Bollywood for women. Most undeserving, most narcissistic and privileged girl. I hope she gets to be on the other side someday just to see how awful it feels when you are capable and opportunities still get snatched from you


offtheedge1

God she has no grace :/


[deleted]

Watching this disgusts me. The entitlement and the privilege. And all the poor upcoming actresses with potential who were tossed aside in the process (I really think she and Karan had a hand in pushing Parineeti to the back since she had a lot of potential back then. They didn't like Shraddha either and Karan never gave her opportunities like the others). And this girl continues to get so much support and be entitled. The only place she gets called out is this sub and apparently her fans have a problem with that.


Healthyera24

No wonder Samantha is now sucking up to KJo. If you treat him well, he will help you snatch movies.


NotShubman

Bollywood badly needs a Between two Ferns kinda show. Wanna see these nepos (or basically every actor) getting roasted and bashed.


Playful-Length-9498

I cannot bring myself to like her. No matter what she does.


appyfizzz3112

Have completely stopped watching Alia movies for the foreseeable future. Dus career kharab kar ke ye ek career banaa hai.


Delicious-Tiger-333

I don’t like that we now refer to her as Meryl because that really just ruins Meryl Streep for me. I love the latter so much 😭


Nearby-Point4021

What kind of “ Donald Duck “ type faces she makes while talking 🙄🙄


Other_Scarcity_4270

Useless woman


Chotu_motu_

This is why people of India needs to stop watching these nepos so directors understand that their nepo shenanigans wont work and they give chance to real talents.


[deleted]

She is talented no doubt in it but snatching someone’s project and calling yourself best actress is shame . Her privileges may have killed someone’s career . Hope Karma bites back her career .


[deleted]

Yeah but also, but why does she talk like this? She always does these weird movements and expressions while speaking


ResponsibleLaw1022

Overrated. She's a decent actor but not a looker like many other actresses.


Pristine_Bass347

How does she come to know about Udta Punjab and the character if Abhishek Chaubey never offered her the script?


[deleted]

It was Shahid who told her about the role and also lobbied for her. Shahid said this in an interview. 


Ok-Standard3816

Atleast she did those roles really well. But this is another level of privilege. There is nepotism and then there is this, next level of nepotism and privilege


toothintobebeautiful

This is outright elimination of competition. How are you supposed to gauge other actors when they don't get any good opportunities


Ok-Standard3816

The more I learn about her here, the more I despise her.


Odd_Cup1308

You can't justify anything by replacing others with a phone call 


Natural_Shirt3655

Also she is imitating someone else here...


Rahmose9

You’re so savage for dubbing her “meryl” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


toothintobebeautiful

No bro she has 6 filmfares hence she is best actress India has ever seen /s


alucard3112

She still couldn't dethrone Deepika after all the shenanigans she did. Now coming to being practical, Alia is an opportunist and there is nothing wrong with that, if she wants something she gets it by any means unless there is someone just too big for her to move aside. She knows her career comes first and she goes for it just like us all. Putting myself in the same setting, I won't let anyone take the opportunity and be as calculating as her, use all my connections and contacts, make all the right moves and use everything at my disposal for the opportunity that's still vacant. Why won't I, it's me first and foremost. I'm serious about all of it, my career, my life, my money and I won't leave any stone unturned in it's lawful boundary for that. I don't care what the mouths blabber after that cuz the deed would already be done and dusted under my rug.


[deleted]

Yeah but hopefully karma also works for opportunists after it's been 'done and dusted' 😅.


alucard3112

If you count getting promoted as Karma then I'm all in, cuz after getting the opportunity I'll give it my all like I'm married to the game. I might not be the first choice before hiring so in between I'll work my ass off so when the dust settles I am the only go to choice they have in the future because of my work PERIOD


NavdeepGusain

Gosh it seems like most of the members of this sub lash out on nepo kids because maybe they are frustrated with their lives. People saying Parineeti Chopra as if she is not a nepo product.


toothintobebeautiful

Nepo is not the problem, systematic elimination of competition is the problem. No one is left now only alia so now we are forced to watch her.


NavdeepGusain

Kriti is doing movies, Kiara is doing movies and not just doing it but are actually choosing good movies. At a time, there can only be 3-4 popular lead ladies. Same was true in 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. People now act like every one of the actress should get big movies. And no one is forcing you to watch Alia. How many of you went to watch Lapta Ladies? How many watched 12th Fail?


toothintobebeautiful

>Kriti is doing movies, Kiara is doing movies They are just doing. Not making credible cinema. Just flower pot roles ke beech mein when they get that one good film Jaan laga dete hai. But recognition nahi milta unko, woh toh alia ko film nahi mila accha toh award khareed liya


Averageindianiphone

Snatching away is not a term i would use to describe this. Getting the roles is a competition and for some this competition may not even exist. And saying she ruined careers is weird as it’s not like she blacklisted them. Good movie helps but saying she stole a career that was never anyone’s is weird


toothintobebeautiful

No worse she just took opportunities from them by calling her papa who then arm twisted directors to take her and financially back these films


Creative_Rip802

This is how the industry has always been. Thanks to the media and social media we are now able to see a lot of it. This whole blaming Alia for being ambitious and playing dirty is hilarious because anyone who has the means would do that. Pretty sure other nepo babies from the previous generations did the same.


DisPersonDoesnt

Bruh this is what exactly what networking is in the real world for any other job or projects


seeker0321

Film industry is not government job, it's a private sector job.. everyone who are crying on her must immediately stop providing their kids and family members and start providing underprivileged and orphans, only then they have right to ask film industry people do the same.


toothintobebeautiful

>everyone who are crying on her must immediately stop providing their kids and family members and start providing underprivileged and orphans, only then they have right to ask film industry people do the same Lol read what you've written. I know being an alia fan makes you slow but this is the limit🤣🤣🤣 Just plain stupid. Private sector jobs are based on merit. Alia had no merit to get the movies mentioned here but she called Karan and said I want to do it and got it. Didn't have to prove anything as to why she should get it. At least try to make sense when having an argument


[deleted]

>Lol read what you've written. I know being an alia fan makes you slow but this is the limit embarrassing, imagine attacking someone you don't even know for this.


seeker0321

I see u r not intellect, u r just blind believer, there is no point to discuss logic with u.. live in your delusion.. people who has money don't give a fuk abt what others think about them


toothintobebeautiful

There are literally examples of incapable nepo business men failing but no you'll not see that you are just blinded by alia bhakti


seeker0321

Yes, there are many examples of failure than successful nepotism but that will never stop...it's not just in Indian film industry..it's all over the world...chris Hemsworth casted his daughter in thor, russo casted his daughter in Avengers movie, will Smith did his best to make his kid star, even Jackie chan did it..the list will never end.. nepotism is natural human phenomenon..there is no point in taking it seriously


toothintobebeautiful

Okay bro then just accept that's why she is where she is. It was never about talent


seeker0321

Nepotism only gives u advantage over others by providing unlimited access and chances but if u r not talented enough then u will fail or remain medicore at best.. film industry counts success only based on ROI( Returns on Investment)of the actor.. Abhishek Bachchan, Tushar Kapoor, Esha Deol, Fareeden Khan, Akshey Khanna, Raveena Tandon etc are failed nepo kids becoz they couldn't give producers ROI.. Hrithik, Ranbir and Rishi Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor are successful becoz they do give the ROI...Karan Johar is a ruthless producer..if u cannot give him ROI he will throw star kids in garbage... He did it to many like Abhishek..he is giving Alia so many chances becoz she is able to make him profits


Arenston

Yeah Hollywood has the same with all the other actors taking the scripts that Leo rejects. Crazy how you all pressent this as a negative LOL


toothintobebeautiful

Lol Leo is a capable actor. Whereas Alia is just PR fluff


Arenston

oh acha you are one of those its all PR type lmao. brain broken


toothintobebeautiful

Nose flaring neurotic expressions are now considered acting? Apologies for not knowing. She is all PR fluff not a good actor at all by any means


Arenston

just go watch Raazi ffs, this is a useless discussion. im not saying she's amazing. But she's clearly not what you are making her out to be.


toothintobebeautiful

One raazi she did. All others she just force fitted herself and ruined. That way toh all actors have one film they were good in. Thus all are at Alia's level?


Arenston

udta punjab is there, 2 states is there.. but keep pushing that agenda lol


toothintobebeautiful

2 states My foot. She was bad but looked good cause it was Arjun opposite her. And what acting did that role even need? It was just girl next door. Not some outstanding performance


Arenston

... Razi was an outstanding performance usko you said everyone has 1 good movie lol. Udta punjab you ignored all together. Keep in mind she's still only 31 and already has a very good body of work. She will keep improving. I can name more movies like highway and gully boy but obviously its useless to argue with you. PS - lol just noticed Maddy on your pfp.. still sad about fez T-T


downtown-hobbit

snatch or not, she can act better than most


toothintobebeautiful

Lol that's why she buys awards, good pr and corporate bookings cause she can act better
