Alia has it very easy right now, no competition whatsoever

She has Kjo's support who shoves her into every big upcoming movie and she faces basically no real competition.

Deepika barely does any movies, Anushka is on a break too (and tbh declined already) and actresses like Shraddha, Parineeti, Vaani etc. are just there and pale in comparison with Alia's popularity.

I have been watching BW movies since the 90's and usually there were always 3-4 actresses at the top.

Jhanvi, Ananya and Sara are her only competition

I disagree. I think there will be competition in the future among new talent. Alia is a top actress compared to her contemporaries, more popular than most barring shraddha maybe who is at a similar popularity level..but thats only because she overlaps with the presence of established actresses such as deepika, priyanka, katrina, kareena. The kind of work she has done is beyond her contemps but still less than these named actresses. She is kind of in the middle. These actresses mentioned are still at top, and still want to be seen on screen. But with time, things will change. more talent will come in, there will be more impressive performances and those who pave a way through their own journey will eventually be pitied to her. This has been the way it has always been. Just because she is an early success story doesn't mean someone else can't carve a path and reach the top as well.

Probably but I'm not seeing any real talent from her gen. They are all forgettable and generic imho. And Deepika & Katrina do have a few years left but you know it is with female actresses, they are faded out quickly

I find it hard to predict honestly. I never predicted some of the actresses in the past to make it as big as they did. I am just saying that it may seem like she is the only actress in her gen who is talented or what. but it really is about the right opportunity and the right films.
