Controversial outsider Aasman Singh could shake up Bollywood, but can he survive a nepotism‑driven industry? Two Reddit threads weigh whether audience appetite for realness beats glossy PR [1].
Outsider viability in Bollywood Post 1 frames the debate: an outsider with attitude and controversy might get labeled or dropped, yet some say talent can trump missteps. The core question: will fans reward honesty or punish risk when pedigree looms large? [1]
PR-driven interviews and perception • Alia Bhatt — rarely asked about Brahmastra in interviews [2] • Shah Rukh Khan — steered away from topics that could name Priyanka Chopra [2] • Janhvi Kapoor — avoids the 'other woman' gossip in chats [2] • Rani Mukerji — not asked about her Govinda project [2]
Old-school bluntness and lessons Historically, interviewers could go hard. Pritish Nandy pressed Dimple Kapadia about Sunny; Karan Thapar grilled Amitabh Bachchan on Rekha at a Jalsa lunch, and the fallout shaped careers for years [2].
Closing thought Bottom line: an outsider’s fate now rides on breakout hits and a PR‑savvy strategy, even as audiences crave raw moments. Watch how Aasman Singh navigates both.
