Is Nepotism in the Hindi film industry here to stay? How fair is the debate? Are the people who are speaking against this also a part of the problem? Ugly actor Rahul Bhat speaks about all of this in an interview with Hindustan Times. One of his first quotes of the interaction is, "I'm irritated. Do these trolls spewing venom on social media know the exact meaning of nepotism? Alia (Bhatt) is a brilliant actor. Look at her performances in Udta Punjab and Raazi. She deserves to be here."
He added, "When a lawyer's son can become a lawyer, he has an advantage. But at the end of day the son will have to walk the path alone. Talent and nepotism are two different things. Those who're shouting nepotism and hurling abuses, do they understand that they're also responsible for it. If you want good actors and interesting films to flourish, you also need to go and watch them. On the contrary, you watch films of big stars, follow them everywhere including social media."
