I don't think its fair to blame nepotism over outsiders for being held back and not having any great roles. If that's the case the people like Madhuri Dixit, Urmila, Manisha, Juhi, Priyanka, Anushka, Kangana, Deepika, Aishwarya, Bipasha and ect wouldn't have not been give any substantial roles in their respective careers.
Kriti said in a interview that she failed so many auditions which may be the reason why she's being held back. Outsiders have been in that same situation so she's isn't the only one.
