How would you define nepotism?

So I watched KJo's viral 3 min clip and he said he doesnt indulge in nepotism as he never launched his son or daughter or niece or nephew. He ofcourse found people like Varun, Sara, Ishaan, Jhanvi after a nationwide hunt and Alia after a world wide hunt since he didnt know they lived somewhere nearby in the homes of his friends or acquaintances. And ofcourse he ignored his kids and didnt launch them. Alia also feels she benefited due to her family to bag her first film and rest she gets only on merit. So what is your definition of nepotism?

If you go by definition of nepotism then Kjo is right and he is not doing any nepotism. What Kjo is doing is basically a form of racism in which he considers people from the pure blood bollywood family to be superior to people who are not from bollywood whatsoever. So Kjo 's thinking is pretty similar to voldemort and his death eaters in that aspect.

i saw the clip too

Now people might say that but Kjo is so close to SRK who is an outsider too but he might just be an exception because the way Kjo treats outsiders (apart from sidmal who as gossips go is special case ) does not show him in good light.

Won't even compare a dumbass like KJo to a self-made man like Voldemort.

He's basically hiding behind semantics here. Bollywood needs to drown after Salman/Aamir retire before these folks like KJo realize how unable the industry and his favorites are to keep it running.

For Actors, Jim Sarab explained it clearly - Star kids did not do audition rounds for many movies/studios, someone came and offered movie to them, that too as a Hero/Lead.

He does partiality to some extent and influences decision making for others

Nepotism, fair or not, doesn't guarantee success. To credit Alia's success to Nepotism is just being bitter. She earned it fair and square. The only thing Nepotism guarantees, at best is a decent launch but its all an even playing field after that.

Kjo gave Sid M a better launch than both Varun & Alia. He promoted Sid M more than either of them too and was on his way to doing the same for Fawad Khan before he was forced to leave.

Sid M is no industry kid. Your argument is invalid.

Sid can't act to save his life...clearly a case of casting couch.. kjo is also trying to get close to fawad for the same reason.
