No Bhagaahshree. I know misunderstanding. That woman’s name is hard to write lol. So I shortened it.

It’s not a equal playing field. But this woman did Maine pyar kiya w Salman and then started throwing her weight around demanding her husband get put in films.

Not a single soul is pure. That’s what I’m saying 😂

That is what I have said in the first post.....they will all do it...doesn't make it right but they will do it...we all will do it if we were in their shoes..😆and if someone says they won't...then they are poojniya...😆

Private money is private money. As long as not being used for illegal activities, nothing wrong in how they spend it.

I'm not obligated to spend a penny on my neighbor's kid no matter how talented he might be. it's my right to spend my last penny on my own if that's what I wish. No one else has a say in it. No one else needs to support my kid's activities by buying tickets, either.

But if your decision is creating obstacles for others and preventing a level playing field, then it's wrong. Bollywood is not a privately owned property after all. Launch your own kid, but not at the cost of others.

Bollywood is a sector. If a production company is private, it's fully up to them how they spend the money.

If a star is spending money or using connections with a private company to launch his own kid, he can be said to have taken that role from any of the millions who want to act in movies. There are always going to be losers in that situation. Casting someone in a movie is a zero-sum game. If a star parent is supposed to hold auditions and make sure his beta or bitiya is better than everyone else before spending his own cash on the movie, it's not gonna happen. Humans don't function like that.

This is the thing:

You can acknowledge that nepotism is human nature.

You can also understand that too much nepotism is bad for progress.

You can wait for market/audience reaction to spank the producers into behaving (And you can laud stars who do succeed on their own).

Or you can get govt to regulate how artists are hired by private production houses. Because that's the only other way to force a private citizen to favor an outsider over his own flesh and blood. In which case, you can be almost guaranteed not to have that movie made because no one will want to take the time and effort.

If forced to make movies, they will be propaganda films because government functions like that. Give them power, and they're guaranteed to misuse it.

Anyway, I've said all I had to say on it at this point.

Let me repeat my point-- launching their own kids and wanting them to succeed is not a problem. But booting out outsiders from as many films as they can, is unethical. there are no two ways about it.

Here, insiders are advertised and promoted heavily even when they've not yet signed a movie. This kind of gross favoritism is sick and cannot be justified.

That's all. Thank you.

No mood to go on in circles, so edited my comment

Why are SRK fans defending this so vehemently? Groundwork for Suhana? 😆

Suhana is just a smoke screen it is for her brother 😆

Only on IF, ppl are reluctant to admit that nepokids are the reason behind BW's current pathetic form..maybe because the population is around 30 members like someone said..everywhere else on social media..be it be Youtube,insta or facebook..audience accepted this fact..

I still see much hate for Kjo though the war over SSR is well over (bots dont count)..In 2020 ppl here said, all hate against BW is temporary and its going to grow bigger than ever under the mentorship of Kjo and craftsmanship of Alia..wow just loving the growth!!

Totally agree...something wrong is wrong even if everyone does it will do it......I just don't understand the hue and cry about it in BW or anything that is privately owned....I get it that the general notion is that it affects us.....but not to that extent...I mean I don't watch an Arjun Kapoor movie or an AB Jr movie...even Alia Bhatt's movie...unless the reviews are really good.....It is not fair to not let them use their own money for their own kids or the way they want..

It doesn't affect us, true. However, it affects the quality of the industry in general, also it affects the millions of talented outsiders whose chances are actively robbed by the likes of KJo.

He should shut his mouth, dumbass.
