These people all debuted in a time when there were genuine stars as competition. The current big stars (ex. SRK) were younger and there were real stars being made overnight (ex. Hrithik) directly competing with the likes of Esha Deol and AB Jr. This is why they could not last because there was actual quality then so audiences could pick them over the talentless.
None of them had a KJo. KJo flooded the market with talentless nepobabies and worked to ensure that the talented ones like Shraddha, Parineeti, and Kriti were sabotaged so that they would not directly impact Alia. The leading actresses of this era were all slowly being phased out which helped Alia take the roles that would normally go to them (Anushka retiring, Priyanka leaving BW, etc.) In the 2000s era, she wouldn't have had a chance because there were so many actresses (Rani, Preity, Aishwarya, Urmila, Shilpa, Priyanka, Kareena, Ameesha, Bipasha, Lara, Amrita, Sushmita, Tabu, occasionally Kajol) still working and getting lead roles but this talent had been diluted with the newest crop in the 2010s. When instead of those actresses, we instead have Sara, Jahnvi, and Ananya, then yes even the likes of Alia will look better in comparison and if she's getting all the prime roles, then nobody else has a chance.
Mahesh Bhatt has barely done anything for Alia's career. It's PapaJo who has taken the daddy role and is doing everything for her. And look at what it's cost him. Takht shelved forever. Brahmastra, one of the most expensive movies of all time, failing and bankrupting KJo's company. Rocky aur Rani wasn't even a clean hit with Alia's name because she's not a box office star. His movies were blockbusters in the past because he used A-List talent like SRK, Kajol, Rani, Preity, Salman, Hrithik, the Bachchans, etc. and Alia has never been in that league.
