A lot of the actors and filmmakers in the Hindi film industry have spoken about nepotism. Stars like Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, and many others shared with their fans about feeling depressed. Holiday and Force 2 actor Freddy Daruwala, in an interview with Times of India, has spoken about both and how the two are different.

Talking about it, he said, "We have to understand that nepotism and depression are two different things. Nepotism might cause depression. But it's not the same. I think nepotism exists everywhere, when I say everywhere, it exists in hotels, it exists in insurance, banking, airlines, politics, cricket, sports, Bollywood, Hollywood, Tollywood, Dollywood anything you say. Nepotism is everywhere."
