Kiara Advani won our hearts with her performance in Kabir Singh, post which she also received a new screen name for herself, "Kabir Singh ki Bandi' and from then on there was no looking back for the actress. Her recently released web movie, Guilty, which also marked Akansha Ranjan Kapoor's debut in acting too has been receiving accolades from all across.

Coming from a well to do family, residing in a posh area and owning a residence in South Bombay, (a hub where usually most Bollywood stars live) Kiara never had to struggle with monetary issues but she did have her share of struggle soon after entering the industry and had to slog a lot to carve a niche for herself in the glamour world. But, as the saying goes, 'grass is always greener on the other side', people fail to look above her privileges. And, something similar happened after she posted her pictures with her childhood friend, Isha Ambani which further went on to reveal that unlike other outsiders, she has connections with the influential families from the Hindi film industry and other tycoons.

It so happened, a few days before Isha Ambani's wedding, the actress had posted photos of her childhood pictures with Isha Ambani, daughter of business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, where she congratulated Isha on her wedding and soon after that people had the meanest things to tell her.

In a recent interview with BBC Asian Network, Kiara confirmed that being friends with the heiress of India does not make her the heiress herself. 

"I think today with social media, everyone knows everything about you. So when you talk about anything you are just judged. Social media is also something a part of who you are, no one sees the layer and the depths beneath that person. If I put up a picture with a school friend of mine, who happens to be one of....an the heiress of the country, and if I say that I have struggled, they say that how dare she, she is friends with Isha Ambani. I'm like but so what, I'm not her. that has nothing to do with my work life, that has nothing to do with what I go through on a daily basis," she said.

In the interview, she confessed that she comes from a family of privileges, and being family friends with Salman Khan open doors, but it's hard work which keeps us adhered. "Ummm, I don't know how much it helps I think maybe there's a feeling of security, sure I can meet people initially when I joined when Fugly was my first film. Because I knew Salman sir, I didn't have a management team at that time. I got a chance to meet a particular agency, who also handles his work. But that didn't translate into my next couple of films. So in terms of work, it can open the doors, but I don't think it can get you a film. I don't even think that being a star kid can get you a film because....its a business at the end of the day," said Kiara.

Bollywood is filled with nepotism now. Karan Johar is the master of nepotism. And in the South Indian industry 60+ year old actors are romancing 20 year olds. Nagarjuna romanced Rakul Preet Singh in a movie last year if I’m not wrong. That’s messed up.

each film industry in India is going through the same mess - nepotism & favoritism. How many outsiders - especially actors have we seen in the last 5-10 years ? You can count them in single digits, who have done more than a couple of movies.

With rich kiddos & nepotism babies entering the acting industry thanks to parental connections, Bollywood has steered away from fresh faces that deserve an opportunity. Plus, cast age-appropriate actors rather than 30+ year olds playing a 18 year old character.
