Does Bollywood give more credit to the 'hero' than is due?

The Bollywood 'Hero' has always been a larger-than-life figure. The Bollywood 'Hero' is strong, chivalrous, dutiful, a terrific lover and a great human being. Perhaps this is the reason why the common man in India adores him to death.
Normally in Bollywood, when a movie becomes a hit, the 'hero' becomes a Star. All others, including the heroine, the director, musicians, the ensemble cast, come only next to the hero. If you are wondering if this post is behind its time, the answer would be no..It is very much prevalent today too.
The recently released 'Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani' shot up Ranbir Kapoor's stand in the industry. There was talk about him leveling the three Khans who have had a highly successful stint in the Bollywood industry. However, did it do the same to Deepika, Kalki, and Aditya's careers? Ayan Mukherji perhaps did get a lot of credit but is it anywhere near what Ranbir got? I don't think so...
What then, needs to change so that everyone gets their due credit? Is it even possible? What are your thoughts on this?
