The issue of Nepotism has been prevalent in the Hindi film industry for a long time, and the debate has only amplified after the unfortunate demise of Sushant Singh Rajput. Nearly all the people on social media have called out star kids and film families for their privilege and how their struggles to find success were almost non-existent.

And in an interview with Anupama Chopra of Film Companion, Chunky Panday talked about how people address his daughter Ananya Panday as a star-kid, how that makes him a big star, and also being out of work after the era of the 90s began. First talking about his choices of films, Panday stated, "I only chose multi-starrer films as they were working for me."
