A while back, The Opinionated Indian made a blind item that suggested a star kid whose path to Bollywood has been a tough one since the beginning. Even though she was launched several times and had great support from the industry, her much-delayed debut still could not reach the box office. Therefore, she started to doubt the decisions that had been made in the course of her professional life till now.

Blind Item

This star kid's career seems to be jinxed from day one. After several failed starts, she finally debuted in a movie, which turned out to be a box office bomb. It was barely noticed upon its release. As per a source, she feels that her hero not being an A-lister was the reason why her debut movie flopped. She fancies her chances of starring in a hit if she bags a project opposite the young heartthrob & or young married actor. While these two stars have given flops recently, she feels that these two stars have much bigger box office pull than her debut co-star. To be fair to her, movies are a male-driven medium. Most movies, including romcoms, rest completely on the hero's shoulders. Very few actresses have been able to shoulder a movie. Many female stars were just plain lucky to bag projects opposite saleable male stars. Their careers tanked as soon as the male superstars stopped casting them in their movies.

The blind item not only hints at but also adds more to the speculation by stating that the industry connections and lineage have played a huge part in the whole scenario. The privilege of being a child of a famous actress has, for sure, given her chances through all the ups and downs of the film industry, thus making her a very easy target for trolls. The trolls, in turn, have made constant accusations about her family getting over and over again chances and consequently, suffering along the way due to mainstream failure.

The gossip indicates that the baptismal name's advantage is like a double-edged sword: it gives access to the top places, meanwhile, the thickest skin and hardest to bear come with the constant scrutiny as well. The really loud and clear expectations of the public who want talent over just the name being very powerful have made her every single move a very close watch. Changes in casting, selecting the male lead who is more bankable, and the like question whether such measures can do her good and insiders are thinking she is yearning for a shift her way that will eventually put the critics to silence.
