What! A relaunch? She had a debut before Neal and Nikki? No outsider gets a relaunch

Yes. Her debut was SSsshh ( yes that is a real movie) and she was beyond pathetic in that movie. It released in 2003..the same year a bunch of much better talent (outsiders) made their way..PC..lara..Amrita Rao etc..and she was rejected right away. Neal and Nikki was a big relaunch which i trust no outsider to get..it is a diff story it was even worse and tanisha was horrible..but the point is..no outsider would get this kind of relaunch as a lead in a YRF movie after such a disastrous debut..and this is YRF of 2005 not today..when they were known to hardly ever give flops..the word hit was associated with YRF as almost 90% of their movies would be hits..humtum..bunty-babli..veer zaara..these were the movies coming from the PH back to back every year..

Idiot wants to be number one here also!! Awful person and even more awful personality. Somebody needs to tell her there are many vying for that position. Nepotism is the only reason she even got to give this interview. Madam aapki nail salon ka karcha abhi bhi nepotism hi pay kar rahi hai.

But if they took an outside in Neal N Nicki instead of her, the film would have less attention. The only reason my whole family went to the cinema to watch the atrocious film was to see Kajol's little sister. Those days I was not brave enough to walk out, as I should have, but that's another discussion.

The fact is: audiences drive the market for nepotism to thrive. Look at Baby Taimur, he had fan-clubs since he was 2 weeks old. The fanbase is already there for star kids. And then the same fans criticise the system which we have created.

That is not necessarily a true statement. Also, I don't get why we feel the need to "defend" nepotism.

Didnt she reach top 2 of BB season alongside Gauhar mainly coz of Nepotism and Bhai's favoritism😆

Thanks dear...i didn't even know she had other movie other than neal and nikki....oh gosh she was pathetic in that movie ..she can't act,dance or even do lip sync...

Not really. She got a YRF debut. For an outsider, getting a role in a movie itself is like winning the Powerball jackpot. It only happens if you're really really lucky, in the right place at the right time, a one in 50 million type of chance.

The women at least have the pageant pipeline but I'm sure there are connections and politics within that structure too. In the US, pageant contestants have to work their way up from local pageants to state pageants to the national one. In India, it's straight to Miss India with no other prep required. There's gotta be a huge amount of shit happening in there too. For instance, Aishwarya was already considered to win even before she decided to enter because she was pretty. 😆

You have to be born for it either way - either by having the right parents or by having an immense amount of god-gifted luck. It has nothing to do with talent either because lots of talented people don't make it anywhere.

Miss India has many rounds and selections happening at city level. The city contestants take part in state level selections. Then the selected participate in Miss India. One of my friends tried in this competition, but failed at state level.

I don't think that anyone DEFENDS nepotism...but most of us acknowledge that if we had a chance we would also promote our own...that is a very very human thing to want to help and further your own family and friends if you can...and I understand that there is a small percentage of very evolved and spiritual beings who would shove their own child aside and give that chance to a promising outsider....but I am talking about the lesser mortals like myself who have not achieved that level yet...agle janam maybe.....of course it should be with the legal and moral limits....which have been discussed many time...latest example...Krit...a true blue outsider....imagine what she would have done or would do for her sister if she was as resourceful as a KJo or a Salman Khan.....so I don't judge people who indulge in nepotism or are a product of nepotism....bus don't tell me your struggle stories...because you have none compared to a real outsider..the beauty is that the undeserving ones...like Tanisha, Tusshar, Esha Deol etc etc are weeded out by the audience...it doesn't matter who their mai-baap is..😆

Pretty sure the audience is glad that nepotism 'failed' in her case.

Still remember my sister dragged us to watch that horrible Scream ripoff just because it was the debut movie of "Kajol's sister". Had a crush on that Karan guy coz of 'Ye dil ashikana' songs, iss movie k baad wo b khatm ho gya

I don't understand all the defensive posts on nepotism either. It's one thing to argue that the hate they receive in some cases is irrational and toxic. Not because nepotism is okay but rather because singling someone out and mob lynching them over their privileges is NOT okay. I might even be able to retreat and think about that but the moment I read something like "nepotism is okay, it happens everywhere and bollywood is no different", I do a backflip to square one.
