![]() Nepotism is the hottest flavour in town and everyone in Bollywood is pitching in their two cents on the topic. The term 'Nepotism' made light when Kangana Ranaut termed Karan Johar as the 'Flagbearer of Nepotism' on his controversial talk show Koffee With Karan. Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is a star kid herself and Karan's bestie was yet to speak about nepotism. However, now the actress opened about it with a leading entertainment magazine. Taking a stance, Kareena stated, "A lot of things seem out of context. Doesn't nepotism exist in every field? But nobody addresses that. In business families, the son takes over the business. A politician's son takes over his place. These are not considered nepotism but in the industry, it makes for a nice read. Also, not many star kids have achieved what their parents have. So I don't understand why people are going on about it." The actress continued, "Basically, the industry is a ruthless place. It's about talent and survival of the fittest. Otherwise, a lot of star kids would've been No. 1 stars in our country. If there's Ranbir Kapoor, there's also Ranveer Singh who's not from the industry. So honestly, nepotism is overrated. More than in business, more than in politics, in the industry it's your hard work and talent that will take you far. That's exactly the reason Kangana Ranaut is considered such a great actress. And she's not from the industry. If there's Alia Bhatt, there's also Kangana. It's not only about star-kids." |
