Janhvi kapoor got a 5 Cr car. I got a 5% hike. Life is fair?
And here we are sharing cabs, splitting zomato orders, and listening to “you need to take more ownership” from managers who won’t even approve WFH
Matlab itna padhai, degrees, night shifts, crying over appraisals all to get a 5% hike and an extra coffee coupon.
And then celebs? Wake up and get gifted crores worth of cars like it’s a Diwali hamper. Bhai humne kya hi galat kar diya career choose karke
This system is wild. Some people are born with Range Rovers, some are born explaining Jira tickets on zoom at 9 pm.
Life balance toh chhodo, ab toh logic bhi nahi mil raha

Aur udhar celebs? range rover gifted by a friend likh ke chill kar rahe hote hain…

Comparing yourself with an actress? They get naked for money in movies. Will you? Who would want to watch you? Actor actress always get paid high anyway compared to educated people. No wonder how Srk is so rich

[human1](username) I mean, yeah, I can’t do all those things just to become famous and I don’t even want to. But that’s not what I’m talking about here.
I’m talking about the lifestyle difference the effort reward gap.
Like if people think actors have it easy or don't “deserve” that kind of money then why do millions worship them? Why does the whole country go crazy when Shah Rukh just waves from Mannat’s balcony? Clearly, it’s not just about the work… we’ve made them larger than life.
We don’t give that kind of love to a coder who’s debugging at 3 AM, or a nurse pulling 12-hour shifts. So is the system unfair? Yeah. But did we all play a part in making it this way? Also yeah.
Not blaming celebs they’re doing their job. But all I’m saying is, we break ourselves over reviews and OKRs… and then see someone gifted a 5 Cr car for showing up at a party. Toh thoda logic hilta toh hai 😅

Nothing in life is fair!! These comparisons need to stop.
People who have generational wealth was earned over generations!!! In Jahnvi's case, her entire family is involved in bollywood and probably the 3rd generation.
If you are worried about 5 % hike, its probably because your father was also worried about 5% hike and probably grand father too. (Not trying to demean any one) but in essence it takes one generation of family to deprioritise everything else and go for ambitious goals.
If it is bothering you so much, do it for your kids. Otherwise just chill. Everyone else feels the same

@rajakamuni honestly, there’s a lot of truth here. generational wealth does take generations to build.
And yeah, Jahnvi’s family being in bollywood for decades means they’ve been playing this game way before we even entered the stadium. Koi shortcut nahi tha for them either just a different starting line.
That said… sometimes it’s not even jealousy.
It’s exhaustion. Like you know you're doing okay working hard, staying consistent and still, that 5% hike after 365 days of showing up feels... underwhelming. Especially when the goalpost keeps shifting higher costs, tighter appraisals, and still the same “you need to take more ownership” talk
But you're right if this bothers us so much, maybe it’s our turn to change that cycle for the next generation.
Till then… chill karte hain, meme banate hain, aur EMI time pe bharte hain
Appreciate your words, genuinely
