'Ultimate decision lies with the audience': Rajiv Thakur take a dig Uday Chopra, says even YRF couldn't turn him into a star

Comedian Rajiv Thakur recently took a jab at actor Uday Chopra, pointing out that despite his privileged background and strong industry backing, specifically from YRF, his career as a leading star never really took off. Thakur recounted his own struggles, saying he spent years proving himself (even getting into The Kapil Sharma Show only after eight years of persistence), and argued that no matter how many resources one has, talent alone doesn’t guarantee success. He insisted that in the end, it’s the audience who holds the ultimate power to decide who becomes a star—and no amount of backing can override that.
