Yes, exactly. She had a few benefactors in the beginning but they weren't very powerful in the industry or they weren't people who were really going to stand by her once they got what they wanted from her (and perhaps vice-versa as well). They were just her foot in the door since most people don't even get that initial debut. After that, she was on her own.
I used to be more judgmental of Kangana but over time, I've become more understanding of her and her hurt. Being belittled by the industry and never given any respect or accolades. Used as a constant punchline in a joke. I don't approve of much of what she says now, particularly her attacks on Urmila, Jaya Bachchan, Taapsee, and Swara, but I do believe that it was the pain and trauma of rejection that twisted her into something so vicious. It's very common to lash out when you've endured that. Reading her emails to Hrithik also made me feel that this is a lost soul, desperate for some love and affection, and I'm suddenly less convinced that this was entirely made-up on her part. I believe Hrithik is not guiltless and is to blame for leading her on. And knowing that Vidya Balan, Meera Chopra (PC's cousin), and Hrithik's own sister support and believe Kangana also tells me that everyone knows the truth but only insiders stick to one story to defend their own and cast Kangana out. It's the fellow outsiders who will not blindly follow what's false.
What makes Divya so much scarier to this group is that she does have backing. You can already see that the haters are making taunts about her talent and opportunities, how she is a nepo based on her husband, etc. All the usual ad hominem attacks, in this case, the opposite attacks that were used on Kangana. But those attacks will not work here and Divya will not remain quiet. Kangana was not quiet either but they painted her as crazy. That won't work with Divya and the fact that everyone else is silent and not defending KJo and Alia proves that people are done with them. With Hrithik, BW mostly allied around him. No one is supporting KJo and Alia. Not one person, except the paid PR flunkies and stools, have had anything to say so everyone knows the truth and is hoping that Divya succeeds, even if they are too cowardly to speak out themselves. And the cowards are the industry elites who are also done with Dharma now but still won't be caught on public admitting to that. I have more respect for the outsiders, whether the Shraddhas or Deepikas or Kartiks, who remain silent because they know they cannot afford to speak out even if they probably really want to.
It reminds me that only Aishwarya was brave enough to call out KJo and Alia and basically admit that everything Alia has gotten came to her on a silver platter. She corrected herself saying Alia didn't get good films, she got good opportunities. Aishwarya is from the South, they operate on a very different scale there and don't deal with this monopoly that Bollywood has. I can see why she's sick of Bollywood and feels more comfortable in the South. Apparently a lot of senior actresses (Kajol being another, who incidentally also seems very distant from KJo in recent years) feel similarly. Most of KJo's close gang have distanced themselves from him.
....Yesterday I was looking for a thread and saw like 10 threads on Shraddha....no one cared......Divya ka bhi yahi hoga.....
how dare.
