^^ lol dare I hope Sonam was growing up and was actually agreeing that nepotism exists? 😆
Till I know what she meant I'd rather give her the benefit of the doubt:P

Hard to give benefit of the doubt when she thought the nepotism charge was mudslinging and opportunistic and un-feminist.

"Every morning I wake up and it's great bathroom reading. It's mudslinging of the worst kind. I don't know Kangana. I know Karan very well. I find Kangana very entertaining and that's about it. I don't want to comment on something that looks opportunistic, honestly. And I believe you are a feminist when you build other people up, especially other women."

Further taking a jibe at her contemporary in the industry Kangana Ranaut, she said, "I don't think to drag someone down or criticising someone or having this public spat I find it very distasteful. You can set examples without washing your dirty linen in public."

She added, "I am very close to Aanand L Rai, Karan Johar and Swara Bhaskar. These three people are very idealistic and ethical human beings. Aanand Rai made Raanjhana with me. He also made Tanu Weds Manu and Tanu Weds Manu Returns with Kangna. His female protagonists are very strong. Karan Johar has only taken me in one film, I Hate Luv Storys', 9 years back. If he really was someone who was a flagbearer of nepotism, I am sure he wouldn't have launched 12 directors."

Seeing what's in bold, one can wonder if Sonam found the three guys little joke distateful...

We can't know what Sonam meant by posting this tweet... we'll know when she'll comment on this particular event.

Seriously I won't understand if she backs him up seeing how he stole the Best Actress (popular) award from her

when these star kids talk diplomatically about nepotism we praise them for being sensible 😃 it is like they agree with our opinion so they are automatically so level headed and sensible 😆

when they get defensive and deny it, then we call them delusional...

it is like asking a white person if white privilege exists and his or her take on it...

arent the outsiders the ones with a better idea of what they might have faced when they audition for movies? i dont see too much attention given to outsiders on their take on nepotism, but every star kid whether it is alia, varun, ranbir or now sonam seem to get comments for their take on it... these kiddos should be the last ones talking about nepotism.. they can argue on how hard it is to make a comeback after their first few movies.. the criticism they receive for being star kids.. the expectations of them, but that's a different issue.. different experience.

star kids talking about nepotism is a joke... this will be the last time i will enter a topic to read a star kid's take on nepotism..

Call me a hater but (if she gives a statement) I guarantee she won't refer to Karan's jibes at Kangana as mud-slinging or opportunistic. Such words won't be used to slam influential insiders like Karan.

Isn't the problem about how the outsider don't really talk about it? Kriti,Tapsee, Sushant... they only talked about it during their film promos. Otherwise they don't talk about it.

The star kids comment on it because the media ask the questions. Like you said, it's not their place to comment but their take on it is asked.

Of course their vue of nepotism is flawed, of course they'll focus more on their hardship than on those of the outsiders. Outsiders who are quite content to work with starkids so they just won't comment...

I personnally feel bad for only a handful of them. The thruth is they chose this profession and they can easily do something out of their lives as they are already well off.
